City of Hope Gala

City of Hope Outreach is a ministry focusing on those that may have been forgotten within the limits of Conway, Arkansas.  The people who work for this ministry reach out to those who are looked down upon either because of their culture, race, and economic status.  They are dedicated to serving the Lord's people by providing a chance at community growth within the communities that are struggling to stay alive.  Instead of crime, the promote unity.  Instead of always accepting handouts, they promote independence.  They teach the gospel of the Lord and present it as a message to all people.  Not just the rich or well off.  I am deeply touched by the desire of this ministry.  My husband and I are moved by the reality of human trafficking, and what this organization is doing is prevention of not only human trafficking but also drug trafficking and repeat offenders.  They are doing a great work in the city of Conway. 

 Ministry comes at a price both emotionally, physically, and financially.  Thankfully, City of Hope outreach has found a way to raise funds by providing people with a good time.  At the City of Hope Gala, people were allowed to put on their best dress and enjoy good conversation, good food, and an overall good time.  I was asked to shoot this gala, and I am blessed to say that I got to attend.  After food and conversation, organizer Phil Fletcher spoke about the work that City of Hope is doing.  Following him, there was an art auction for works created during the gala by local artist.  It was an amazing night of community growth.
