God at Work Across the Buckeye State
Christmas Celebration, Ahavah Church, Pataskala On December 25, approximately 65–70 non-believers attended our gospel and Christmas Celebration. The event featured Nepali music, cultural danc- es, a sermon, and powerful testimonies. Nepali food was also served to all attendees. We received a great deal of encouraging feedback and are now following up with attendees for further gospel conversations. We, the Ahavah Church, give thanks to God and to SCBO for their support, care, and prayers.

Seek & Share Truth Conference, Steel Valley Church, Youngstown Thanks to the generosity of the SCBO, the Seek & Share Truth Conference 2025 was an incredible few days of rich conversation, thoughtful challenge, and genuine encouragement. Over four days, nearly 200 people came to Steel Valley Church to listen, learn, and engage deeply with the truths of the gospel. One highlight was a live debate between a Christian speaker and a Muslim speaker, which—while spirited at times—modeled respectful dialogue and sharpened everyone listening. Throughout the sessions, workshops, and hallway conversations, believers were equipped with practical tools for evan- gelism and gained greater confidence in defending their faith. Even more en - couraging than the turnout was the sense that people left not only informed but also eager to lovingly share Christ with their unbelieving neighbors. We are already grateful for what God did—and excited for what He will continue to do through those who attended! We love our partnership with the SCBO!
