Coming to Christ was difficult for Jamaica-native Michael Chin Quee — not because he lacked the desire but because no one shared the gospel with him. Since finally hearing the gospel and becoming a Christian, Quee witnesses to anyone and everyone he can. An active member and deacon chairperson at Parkridge Baptist Church, Coral Springs, Florida, Quee urges others, “Be bold and step out and share the gospel with love,” the Florida Baptist Witness reported.
Georgia
Worship center renovations at Pickett’s Mill Baptist Church, Dallas, Georgia, led to the rare find of a used pulpit with deep Christian roots. After finding an antique pulpit on eBay, Pastor Johnny Nix talked with the antique dealer and discovered Fanny Crosby, who wrote more than 8,000 well-loved hymns, had stood behind that pulpit three times to sing. Among other hymns, Crosby wrote “To God Be the Glory,” “All the Way My Savior Leads Me” and “Tell Me the Story of Jesus,” The Christian Index reported.
Kentucky
Baptist Campus Ministry students at Kentucky’s Morehead State didn’t go on their typical weeklong missions trip during Spring Break this year, but they packed a lot of missions work into one Saturday. Twenty-one students partnered with four churches in the Gospel to Every Home initiative of the Kentucky Baptist Convention. Students knocked on doors, shared the gospel, invited people to church, visited shut-ins and more, Kentucky Today reported.
Tennessee
In June 2020, Betty Cress of Beulah Baptist Church, Kingsport, Tennessee, was shocked to learn about a church in Puerto Rico that had been without water for a week. Moved by the need, Cress and her church’s Women on Mission group of about 10 raised more than $20,000 — with help from partnerships with other churches and individuals — to dig a well for a church 1,600 miles away, the Baptist and Reflector reported. “This project renewed our hope,” Cress said.
Virginia
In January 2014, three missionaries from The Camp of Faith Church in Stephens City, Virginia, left America to meet an unreached Islamic people group in West Africa. Since then, this church of about 80 members has sent 20 teams to reach this people group with the gospel, and 20 people have made professions of faith. The church is now sending a family to serve full-time with the International Mission Board to continue the mission, the Proclaimer reported.
