Harding Academy invites you to join us on February 9 to hear the incredible story of an African boy, an American lawyer, and their remarkable battle for freedom. Stuck in a Ugandan prison for two murders he didn’t commit, young Henry is losing hope. He pleads with God for a sign. Meanwhile in California, Jim finds himself saying a small ‘yes’ to God who brings their lives together with momentous results.

On Saturday, February 27, I will “run” in my first ever Pottery Half Marathon. Starting at 8:00 a.m. in the pottery studio at our Cherry Road campus, I will be making ceramic pieces for 13.1 hours! Please help me make this half marathon possible by sponsoring a mile of the Pottery Half Marathon for $20. This amount of money will buy one 25lb. bag of clay that I will use to as I create. Let’s run together and glorify God’s name via the arts at Harding Academy.
