Still can’t believe what happened a little over a week ago! So many people came together to support Parker Street Ministries through 24 hours of worship, stories, generosity, and community. In fact, 1,989 unique devices tuned in, and more than $200,000 was raised, with final numbers still being calculated. Enjoy some photos from the event!
We’ll be reposting some of the Telethon segments in the weeks and months ahead, but today we especially wanted to pause and say thank you. To the sponsors, donors, volunteers, prayer team, board and staff members, and the many people who participated in pre-recorded and live segments: thank you for helping make this event possible.
Check out the list below. It’s a big one, and we apologize if anyone was unintentionally left off. Please let us know! Thank you all for being part of this special event and for supporting the mission and ministry of Parker Street Ministries!
