SHERWOOD, Ark. --  The 14,000 square foot, three-story Pintail Peninsula Lodge which sits on a 280 acre farm in the Bayou Meto wildlife management area has been purchased by Beautiful Feet Ministry, a lay ministry founded and directed by Matt Mosler of Sherwood, Arkansas.  The lodge is in Humphrey (Arkansas county), approximately 14 miles southwest of Stuttgart on world-renowned duck hunting property.  

Renovations are already underway at the lodge to prepare it as a teaching and retreat center for churches, men’s and women’s groups, corporations and individuals.  Beautiful Feet Ministry was able to purchase the property, Mosler said, solely through gifts and donations from the ministry’s Board of Directors and supporters.  The largest amount came as a result of memorial gifts made to honor the late Jim Miller of Burke, Virginia.  Miller was the father of one of Mosler’s life-long friends who is also a board member of the ministry.&nbs

PINE BLUFF, Ark. - Young Caleb has decided to celebrate his ninth birthday by asking his friends and family to help children in need rather than buy birthday gifts for him.

He has involved the community in his endeavors to help make sure that all abused and neglected children in foster care get a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) to help guide them through our over burdened child welfare system.

The CASA’s job is to make sure the child’s needs are being met and that they never become lost in the system. The CASA is appointed at the Probable Cause hearing and continues to advocate for the child until the child is placed in a safe and permanent home.

Caleb will be presenting his donation to Voices for Children/CASA Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 3:30 pm.  We would like to invite you to join us for this presentation to be held at the Donald W Reynolds Community Center, 211 West Third in Pine Bluff.
