Pastor Training, Northside BC, Youngstown and Arabic BC, Cleveland We want to thank you for the evangelism grant made possible through the North American Mission Board and your Cooperative Program giving. It helped make it possible to train 100 elders and their wives in Cairo, Egypt. Thirty-three churches from the evangelical church were represented. The training helped bring them closer together and gave them a better understanding of their role as leaders in the church. – Pastor Brian Picard, Northside Baptist Church, Youngstown and Pastor Evan, Arabic Baptist Church, Cleveland
Ray Roberts Funds Help Dayton-area Church Resolve Roof Issue The Church At Eastmont, a campus of First Baptist Kettering, recently com- pleted a much-needed roofing project, resolving long-standing issues with roof leaks and securing the facility for future ministry. This significant improve - ment not only enhances the safety and comfort of the church building, but also marks a renewed season of growth and outreach. With the roof restored, The Church At Eastmont is now better positioned to invite people in the City of Riverside and the Eastmont community to be transformed by Jesus. We are deeply grateful to the State Convention of Baptists in Ohio and the Ray Roberts Offering for their generous support, which helped make this project possible. Their partnership has empowered our church to continue creating a welcoming space where lives are changed and the gospel flourishes. Our Youth Evangelism Bash was a great time of fellowship, Bible study, and discussion. We had several teenagers from the community join us and partic- ipate in a relevant conversation about the scriptures. We fed them and gave them rides home. During the rides home, they expressed how impactful their time was and how they felt connected to the church. We plan on purchasing Bibles for all of those who attended. – Pastor Fredrick Clement, One Family Church Fall Festival and Youth Evangelism Bash, One Family Church, Dayton Our Fall Festival turned out better than expected. We had a constant stream of visitors come to our event. We strategically positioned our registration team at the front door to give every visitor a gospel tract and church pamphlet. The kids did a scavenger hunt, and the clues contained elements of the gospel message. If they completed the hunt, they received a gift card and experi- enced the full gospel story. We also had some one-on-one conversations with visitors. After the event, we followed up with each visitor and helped them plan their visit to an upcoming Sunday service.
