Join us for this special event hosted by Living Word to hear from Cheryl Witte, Executive Director of Children’s Opportunity Foundation, and Pastor Gene Witte of First Baptist Church in Waterville, MN. The Witte’s have a heart for at risk families and have experience working with regional experts pioneering a scalable program for congregations to impact families.

Children’s Opportunity Foundation (COF) is a faith based Non-profit organization, dedicated to providing advocacy, care, and training for the families and children. Their goal is to see strong families build strong communities and to make a difference one child/family at a time. The Approach of COF is to A.C.T (to advocate, care, and train) the at-risk children and their caregivers in their time of crisis.

We believe there is an open door for a cooperative effort among Mankato area churches, and so we have been praying for God’s timing for this event for 2 years. We believe now is the time to take small steps to making a major impact through the local church in ways that match the character and mission of our ministries for God’s glory.
