Haven of Rest Radio Broadcast - May 24 2026 - Katrina Henry

Katrina Henry, who leads the "Every Child, Every Chance" program at the Haven of Rest, discussed the ministry's expansion into Akron Public Schools, where they now provide not only essential physical needs like shoes, clothing, and school supplies but also spiritual support through the Good News Club. Initially launched as a pilot program in the North cluster of schools to assist with Thanksgiving meals, the initiative has grown significantly to include the Eastside cluster and now offers after-school gospel teaching and seasonal outreach, such as providing Easter baskets to children. Driven by a desire to help students feel secure and supported, the program is sustained by volunteers and is currently raising funds through a $5,000 matching gift challenge for June to continue these vital services. Listeners are encouraged to partner with the ministry through financial support, volunteering, and praying for the safety and spiritual well-being of the children throughout the summer months.
