Russell Baptist Association on mission

Russell Baptist Association went to Crystal Springs, Miss., for its annual Builders for Christ associational missions trip June 19–26.

Jill Clark, a member of Central Baptist Church, Phenix City, and the Russell Association coordinator of Builders for Christ, coordinated the trip, while Gary Forrester, also a member of Central Baptist, led the trip. Jerry Rudd, a member of Concord Baptist Church, Salem, was the construction supervisor. Forty-two Alabama Baptists out of a total of 74 people participated.

The team’s mission was to help construct a building for Pilgrim’s Rest Baptist Church, Crystal Springs, Miss. The team did framing, electrical work and work on the soffit and facial part of the siding. At the end of the week, the team gave the church an unexpected love offering of $4,000. Pilgrim’s Rest Baptist is still under construction and plans to have a dedication in December.
