Pastor Robert Griffith Virginia Supports National Foster Care Ministry Through Miami Golf Fundraiser
Manassas, Virginia, 13th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Pastor Robert Griffith Virginia is teaming up with Backyard Orphans, a national foster care ministry, to bring attention to one of the country’s most pressing but under-addressed needs: the lack of safe homes for children in crisis. This spring, Griffith will participate in a two-day golf fundraiser at the Trump Doral Resort in Miami, joining other ministry leaders, business professionals, and donors to support the organization’s expanding reach.
Backyard Orphans has spent over a decade training churches to lead local foster care initiatives. Their model is simple but effective: equip church leaders to build orphan care ministries in their own communities. Since launching in 2011, the organization has worked with more than 3,127 churches across nearly every U.S. state and helped place over 3,261 children into supportive, Christ-centered homes.
“This isn’t just a charity cause. It’s a mission,” said Pastor Griffith. “The foster system is overwhelmed, and because the Church is designed for this, they are in a great position to help. As Christ followers, we’re called to it, and Backyard Orphans gives us the tools to act.”
Griffith has volunteered with Backyard Orphans for several years. As a pastor, professor, and founder of the nonprofit 1Hope Together, he is deeply committed to sustainable foster care ministry. He views the upcoming fundraiser not only as an opportunity for giving impact, but also as a way to build awareness among leaders who might otherwise never consider engaging with the issue.
The Miami event includes two rounds of golf on one of the nation’s most iconic courses. It also offers space for deeper conversation and connection. “Couples will enjoy the food and time at the pool…The golfer’s spouse may enjoy one of the many resort amenities while you sink that putt on 18,” Griffith joked. “But the real win is helping children find stability and discipleship in a safe home.”
$200 Per Child: A Model That Works
Backyard Orphans has a clear plan. Every $200 raised helps move one child toward a safe home. That includes everything from church training and volunteer mobilization to agency partnerships and long-term support for families.
“We don’t run group homes or adoption agencies,” said the organization’s founder and CEO, an ordained missionary and former staff member of a church that also did great work helping vulnerable children. “We activate churches. Our job is to make sure churches know how to lead foster care ministries in their backyard, with local buy-in and lasting care.”
The results speak for themselves. By investing in leadership development at the church level, Backyard Orphans has seen scalable impact across rural towns, urban centers, and suburban communities alike.
Pastor Bob Griffith, Virginia Brings Ministry and Strategy
Griffith’s role as a volunteer complements his broader work in faith-based leadership. He has served as the lead pastor of Christ Chapel Church in the Washington, DC suburbs and as executive pastor of a large multi-site church in the Midwest. He teaches theology and leadership at Southeastern University and consults with churches throughout Virginia.
His book, Fostering Jesus, challenges churches to partner with existing systems and reclaim their biblical responsibility. He sees Backyard Orphans as one of the most effective vehicles for that mission.
“In foster care ministry, good intentions aren’t enough. You need structure, training, and accountability,” he said. “That’s what Backyard Orphans provides.”
How to Get Involved
The annual golf fundraiser is open to individual donors, corporate sponsors, and ministry leaders seeking to make a tangible difference. Pledges can be made in advance or at the event. All proceeds go directly to program costs that help churches launch and grow foster care ministries.
“Every church has hurting children in their own backyard,” Griffith said. “They’re not far away. They’re already in our schools, our neighborhoods, our backyards. We have a mandate to act.”
For those unable to attend in person, donations are accepted online through give.backyardorphans.org.

“This isn’t about charity. It’s about calling,” Griffith said. “And the Church is equipped for it. We only need to say yes.”

Seattle, Washington, United States, 5th Mar 2026 – William J Pointer is excited to announce the release of The Origin of Fruits and Vegetables, a meaningful new book in the Health & Fitness genre, now available on Amazon. This thoughtful book invites readers to slow down and reconnect with fruits and vegetables that have supported human life for thousands of years. It reminds us that natural foods are more than daily meals, they are tools for healing the mind, body, and spirit.
Written in clear and easy language, this book speaks to readers of all ages who want to learn how nature has helped people stay healthy long before modern living became fast and stressful. The author shares knowledge that feels both old and new, helping readers see food in a deeper and more respectful way.
What the Book Is About
In The Origin of Fruits and Vegetables, William J Pointer takes readers back in time to explore where fruits and vegetables come from and how they have been used across history. The book explains how these natural foods have helped with physical strength, mental balance, and spiritual well-being. Many of these benefits are often forgotten in today’s fast-paced world.
This book is part of the Health & Fitness genre and focuses on natural healing, learning from nature, and understanding food as more than just fuel. Readers will discover how simple, natural choices can support better living and help restore balance in everyday life.
Rather than using complex words or scientific terms, the author explains ideas in a calm and simple way. This makes the book easy to read while still being meaningful and informative.
Why This Book Matters Today

The book also highlights how learning leads to growth. As the author shares, the more you learn, the more you grow in ways you never expected.
Author Background and Inspiration
William J Pointer brings a personal and grounded voice to this book. He attended a vocational high school where he studied horticulture and learned how to care for trees and shrubs. This early education shaped his respect for plants and the natural world.
For the author, writing is a creative way to unwind, release stress, and clear negative thoughts. Quiet moments, sitting still, and taking long walks are his form of meditation. These habits are reflected in the calm and thoughtful tone of the book.
His purpose is simple but powerful: to make a difference and help prepare the next generation. Through this Health & Fitness work, he hopes to inspire readers to live with more care, patience, and awareness.

EMSU Equipment Expands Interstate Logistics Coordination for Pre-Owned Heavy Machinery
EMSU Equipment provides coordinated interstate transport, permit management, and delivery services for pre-owned heavy equipment purchases across the contiguous United States.
United States, 5th Mar 2026 — EMSU Equipment, an online retailer of pre-owned heavy machinery, coordinates interstate freight logistics for equipment purchases, including transportation, permit management, and regulatory compliance. The company facilitates shipment of machines to buyer-designated job sites or business locations across the 48 contiguous states.
Transporting heavy equipment across state lines involves multiple regulatory and logistical requirements, including state-issued oversize and overweight permits, pilot car escorts where mandated, and coordination with licensed heavy-haul carriers. Industry rate benchmarks for 2025–2026 indicate that short-haul transport (under 300 miles) typically ranges from $3.50 to $5.50 per mile, with minimum flat fees between $800 and $1,500. Long-haul transport (over 1,000 miles) averages between $1.50 and $2.50 per mile. Pilot car escort services generally range from $1.75 to $2.50 per mile when required, and state permit fees may range from $25 to $350 per state crossed. Carrier operating costs have also been affected by changes in Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) fees for the 2025 registration year.
Industry analysts, including ACT Research, have noted fluctuations in heavy-haul carrier capacity following market changes in 2023 and 2024. Projections for mid-2026 indicate potential spot rate increases associated with shifts in truck availability.
EMSU Equipment coordinates freight services at the point of purchase, providing a consolidated shipping quote that includes transportation, required permits, and escort services where applicable. Delivery is arranged directly to a buyer’s job site or business location rather than to a freight terminal. The company works with licensed and insured heavy-haul carriers and provides shipment status updates from pickup through delivery.
“Interstate equipment transport involves multiple regulatory considerations that vary by state,” said Kevin Evans, Public Relations Chief at EMSU Equipment. “The company’s logistics coordination process is designed to manage permit requirements and carrier arrangements as part of the transaction.”
