A Year of Gospel Impact, Summit Association, Akron The two main events we focused on as an association were to promote our gospel-centered congregations at the Summit County Fair in Tallmadge and to provide our congregations with school supplies to engage their communi- ties locally. The county fair event allowed us to engage hundreds with the gospel and for the glory of God. The school supplies are still impacting our association as we were able to equip at least six congregations. We are so thankful for the investment of NAMB and the SCBO in the evange- listic outreaches in the Summit Association of Churches. – Summit Association Mission Strategist, Mark Jones Continual Community Impact, Freedom Hill BC, Kent In the spring, we had over 600 people participate in the city-wide event. We partnered in gospel impact with three other local congregations. We gave every child a piece of candy connected to a card with a QR code that pointed to a gospel cartoon from SpreadTruth.com. In August, we had the opportunity to feed the local football team twice with burgers and chicken, but more importantly, with the gospel via cards inserted in their lunch bags, as we were not given the opportunity to vocally share. Please pray for the families and players impacted. We are so thankful for the evangelism funds that allowed us to accomplish these events. – Pastor Mark Jones, Freedom Hill Baptist Church
