"PASTOR TO RUN 12 MILES FOR ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH"
>
> November is National Adoption Awareness Month, and on Sunday, November > 28th, the Rev. Darrell L. Armstrong will do something about it. After he > finishes preaching his two morning services, Pastor Armstrong plans to run > (from 2PM-4PM) the twelve mile stretch from Princeton to Trenton to raise > awareness about the need for more adoptive families in general, but > especially about the need for more black adoptive families.

> "Every child deserves a loving, caring home in which they can thrive," > said the Rev. Armstrong who is Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, a 130+ > year old house of worship in Trenton.

>
> "This is an epidemic, because it is highly probable that those same black > male children who do not get adopted, will one day populate homeless > shelters, get sucked into the vortex of crime, and feed America's > military-industrial complex. We must change this trend!"
