Bethel Baptist Church’s annual America for Christ (AFC) Walk-a-thon was held on Saturday April 25.
James Arnold, Jim Frisbie, and Terri Frisbie began the six-mile route in Colchester, crossing Illinois 336 and continued to walk to Bethel. Leann Brown, Sharon Rusher and Beth Ann Crabb walked from Fandon to Bethel. When the walkers reached the church, they were joined by several others for a steam burger meal.
The AFC Offering supports American Baptist home missions and community ministries in the United States and Puerto Rico.
The 2026 theme is “Wisdom and Power of Storytelling,” based on Matthew 13:34-35.
