African-American church sees God move in community

A group of 54 volunteers with Sisters On Mission, Inc., based in Lawrenceville, Ga., worked together with Christian Way Baptist Church, Camden, in Pine Barren Baptist Association, June 12–15.

The volunteers, along with members of Christian Way Baptist, prayer walked, hosted a block party, painted and did other work on Christian Way’s K–12 school, Family Christian Academy, and worked on some homes in the community. 

The outreach saw a total of five decisions made for Christ, five committments to Christ and shared the gospel and prayed with 112 people. This was a significant outreach to the area, according to Pastor Charles Autery, who noted that Christian Way is the only African-American church in the area.

“Slowly but surely God is making a change in our community,” Autery said.
