Easter Egg-Splosion Outreach Event, Found Church, Gahanna What an incredible weekend! God moved in a powerful way through our Easter Eggsplo- sion and Easter Sunday services. We saw over 1,700 people in attendance at Eggsplo- sion—families from across our community came out to experience the love and joy of Jesus in a fun and welcoming environment. The impact didn’t stop there. The outreach led to over 100 first-time visitors joining us on Easter Sunday! Even more incredible, 20 people gave their lives to Jesus during our Easter Sunday worship service. Lives were changed forever! Lives are being touched, seeds are being planted, and people are find - ing their way to Jesus, and YOU were a part of it. Thank you for supporting the mission financially. Your generosity made this outreach possible and helped create space for people to encounter Jesus. Thank you for every prayer and every act of faith that made this possible. This is just the beginning of what God is doing through Found Church! – Pastor Dan York, Found Church Easter Egg Hunt, Fellowship Baptist Church, Maineville We had another great year at our annual Easter Egg Hunt! Over 400 children and their families attended. We feel so grateful to be able to serve our community and celebrate Easter with them in this way. Our prayer for this type of community event is that people would have a positive association with our church, so that if and when they want to connect to a church, they would remember how they have been served and loved by us. We had inflatables, face painting, food, egg hunts with treat bags, egg tosses, and spring crafts! We love having this event as part of our Easter Weekend celebration. We are prayerful that those in our community would get plugged into the life of our church because of events like this one! – Darcy Land, Children’s Director, Fellowship Baptist Church The IGNITE Weekend was held at Mt Carmel Baptist Church from Friday evening, April 10, to Sunday evening, April 12. This weekend has been a profound blessing to our local congregation. Through intentional fellowship, heartfelt worship led by the group Sat- isfied, and biblical teaching through speaker Rich Henry, we witnessed lives touched, challenged, and transformed by the power of the gospel. Saturday morning’s session was on “Hearing God.” During that session, some new Gen Z members experienced a spiritual awakening to God’s will, and seeds of faith were planted and nurtured. – Pastor Cliff Myers, Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Good Friday Outreach, The Valley Church, Cincinnati We connected with a local faith-based organization, Shoes 4 the Shoeless, and distrib- uted 245 new pairs of sneakers to children in our local low-income elementary school. We hired a food truck to feed the entire school staff a Good Friday lunch. We met doz - ens of parents and had gospel conversations that included Easter invites with each one of them. We also connected with all 70 staff members, and our team had the same conversations with them. The biggest win from this annual event is getting to tell families about the bus ministry that we provide on Sunday mornings for children. We are anticipating new families tak- ing advantage of that opportunity. – Pastor Chuck Smith, The Valley Church IGNITE Weekend - Community Outreach & Evangelistic Weekend, Mt Carmel BC, Cincinnati
