A couple drives to Antioch Baptist Church in Blairsville, Georgia, for its third Thursday of every month food and firewood distribution. They arrive, sign in, get their “ticket” for food, firewood, or both, and are asked if they want to sit down with a counselor. They agree. The counselor asks about their spiritual background and if they attend a church. The counselor shares the gospel, and the wife accepts Christ.
“It’s neat to see that coming to get a food box leads to hearing the gospel,” said pastor Sean Nix.

Volunteers witness many life situations. Those include people with no one to talk to, those who live alone, folks on fixed incomes, some who jump from house to house, persons who live in their cars, individuals who recently lost a spouse or parent, a dad who brought his handicapped son to have a conversation with someone else other than him, former business owners who are on disability benefits due to injury, and families that are going through a divorce.”
