In His Name-Colleton took part in the national webcast of “Conversations on a Bench”. Amanda Herndon took part in the webcast that began at 3:00 pm EST on Thursday, October 8, by staying up 24 hours to bring attention to homelessness in not only Colleton County, but the nation.
Organizations across North America, including rescue missions and gospel-centered ministries, came together for Conversations on a Bench. The 24-hour live stream event featured personal stories, moments of reflection, prayer, and even a few lighter moments as well.
Over 40 Community Organizations from coast to coast took part in the broadcast that addressed topics that not only addressed homelessness, but put emphasis on addiction, poverty, recovery, and the incredible work God is doing in lives and communities every day. This was the second year.
Herndon and her team participated in the marathon broadcast and welcomed numerous guests, including County AdministratorThomas Higgs, Aimee Lofton from Meison Health, Tammy Varn from the FoCCasThrift Store, Local Pastor Gary Finch, and Jenice Massalon from IHN-Colleton. The broadcast included cut-ins from other national broadcasts and wrapped up with a closing prayer at 2:45 pm, friday afternoon.
