Covington Baptist Association on mission

Three men from Covington Baptist Association went to Rivne, Ukraine, on a missions trip March 22–30.

Wendell Ray, church development director for Covington Association; Judson Blackstock, associate pastor of education for First Baptist Church, Andalusia; and Jeff Baxley, student minister for First Baptist Church, Opp, trained pastors on the evangelism strategy Share Jesus Without Fear, preached in churches, taught in a Bible college and assisted with outreach services in a village.

“The trip went well,” Blackstock said. “One thing that particularly stood out to me … is that [the believers’] commitment level was very high.”
