WildTalk has been working to get teens involved with a project developed by Acquire the Fire Ministries. We don’t have all the money raised yet but we do have air fares secured to send a youth at risk to the Stand up Florida conference and concert March 2nd-3rd (with one extra day for showing our youth some of the sights). Thank you to those who cared enough to help make this project a success and a special thanks to Jennifer at Teen Mania for going beyond her normal job duties in her help in getting us into the conference. Also, thank you to Paul Trump, of ITA in Illinois, whose commitment to excellence, deep appreciation of all life, dedication to education, and love of animals and our youth, made it possible to make this project a success.
