Southern Baptists are being asked to help their counterparts in Orlando, Fla., this June with “Through Every Door” — an unprecedented effort to reach every home in the metropolitan Orlando area with the good news of Jesus Christ.
The door-to-door campaign of presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ will be just one of the opportunities for volunteers willing to share their faith during the June 8-15 Crossover Orlando, held before and during the June 13-14 Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Orlando. Crossover is held each year as a way of helping Southern Baptists make a lasting impact on their convention host city.
“Across America there is an unprecedented openness to talk about spiritual matters. We want to capitalize on that interest and carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to the streets of Orlando,” said Don Smith, an event evangelism associate for the North American Mission Board (NAMB) and chairman of the Crossover Orlando steering committee. “We are praying that God will give us 5,000 souls during this emphasis.”
Crossover is sponsored by churches of the Greater Orlando Baptist Association and NAMB, with the participation of Southern Baptists from across the country. Although many Crossover participants are in town for the convention, many — including a large group of college students and many church groups — come each year solely for the ministry opportunity. Most events will take place June 10, the Saturday before the convention.
Individuals and churches interested in being part of Crossover should contact the Greater Orlando Baptist Association, 407-293-0450, or e-mail to goba@goba.org. Registration is due by May 1. Participants will be asked to attend a training session from 7-9 p.m. June 9. (BP)
