Believers in CSRA to gather for Day of Prayer in Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) — A Day of Prayer is coming to Augusta on Saturday, October 25. Faith Walk Ministries is hosting the event at Garrett Elementary’s soccer field on Eisenhower Drive at noon.

Travon Wright says the event is meant to unite the community. “It’s time for believers to actually be more vocal in what we can do for our country, our community, and our local government,” he said. “We are gonna be praying for our nation, our government, our school systems, just to get a sense of urgency about what we can do for our community to help unite our community.”

Everyone is welcome to participate. “Everyone. Every walk, every church, every leader, non-leader, believer, non-believer,” Wright said.

The event will include prayer, worship, and food trucks. Wright added, “It is just gonna be an awesome time, man. I have worship out there. I’m just expecting for the Lord to move out there.”

Tickets are free, but people can attend without one. Wright says about 250 tickets have already been claimed. More information is available at faithwalk-ministries.org.

Wright also announced a concert on November 2 with Tye Tribbett. Tickets are available at Etix.com or through the Miller Theater website with promo code Praise 2025 for a 25% discount.

“This is the first Day of Prayer,” Wright said. “I’m just coming with great expectations.”

Local group holds 4th annual walk against autism

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – April is Autism Awareness Month, and one local group raised awareness with a walk in Augusta on Sunday.

The fourth annual autism walk was hosted by Moving Over Mountains Against autism at Lake Olmstead Park.

All proceeds from the walk support autism awareness initiatives.

We spoke with the CEO and founder of the group, Deidre Roberson, who said this year they are dedicating the walk to their photographer, who died recently.

Roberson told us what she looks forward to the most.

“I look most forward to seeing the different people every year. We always meet different people, new people, and they come from all over the CSRA, so Washington, Wilkes, Carolina,” she said.

There were also several vendors providing resources to families.

From Augusta roots to Nighthawks leader: Nolan Belcher comes home

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)- Augusta University baseball is in a three-game series matchup against the University of North Georgia.

AU is currently down in the series 0-2 after a close loss Friday and a loss Saturday.

But we aren’t focusing on the Jags, we’re going to take a look at North Georgia’s head coach, Nolan Belcher.

He is an Augusta native who began his career at Greenbrier and Augusta Christian.

He won three state championships, which then led him to play for the South Carolina Gamecocks.

There he won back-to-back national championships and finished runner up in 2012.

His coaching career began after that where he eventually joined the Peach belt Confrence, coaching at USCA and GCSU.

Now in his first season as head coach for the Nighthawks, he is happy to come home and coach in front of his friends and family.

“I’m very fortunate that I got family that, one is still around and they can come watch me do what I love. And, they’ve shown me, nothing but support throughout my whole coaching career and even back on my playing dates are very thankful and appreciative for everything they’ve done for me.”

AU and UNG will have their final series match on Sunday.
