rEcess training from 99balloons.org
Location: Fayetteville, Arkansas
Dates: March 2-3
Personal note: A couple resources I designed will be provided to attendees, and I can tell you that no disability ministry non-profit has impressed me more with their heart, passion, and gospel-centeredness than 99 Balloons. I also love that one part of the event is actually participating in a respite night!
