First Baptist Church, Pell City, on mission

Dave Melvin and Ken Knight, members of First Baptist Church, Pell City, in St. Clair Baptist Association, traveled to India Jan. 28–Feb. 13 with Tom Cox World Ministries of Mountainburg, Ark.

The men were part of a larger group of people from across the South. Once in India, the group was split into five teams. Each team held medical clinics, and a couple of teams also had eye clinics.

The teams saw more than 9,700 people come to the medical clinics and more than 3,400 people accept Christ as Savior.

“It was an incredible trip,” Melvin said. “I saw God do some really wonderful things with people with God using me and, more humbling, in spite of me.”
