Andalusia churches partner for block party outreach

Carolina Baptist Church, Andalusia, is putting ‘boots on the ground’ for missions work in its own community, Pastor Keith Tankersley said. Part of that effort is a partnership with local Northside Baptist. ‘The pastor of Northside (Ray Miles) and I got together and started talking to see how we could reach out into their changing neighborhood,’ Tankersley said. The idea for a block party was birthed, and Aug. 9, the two congregations gathered for a night of music, inflatables, hot dogs and backpack and school-supply giveaways at Northside. The event brought the opportunity to share the gospel with those who hadn’t heard, Tankersley said.
