Mark Williams has a simple explanation for why 120 people have become followers of Christ in the small Georgia community of Centralhatchee over the past two months.
“God has just been moving,” said Williams, pastor of First Baptist Church in Centralhatchee, population 400.
Some 50 people had made salvation decisions at the church in the past two months. But that number was dwarfed by a single-day total of 72 people who made professions of faith at the church’s back-to-school backpack giveaway last Tuesday.
Other Georgia locations also have been reporting high numbers of salvation decisions in recent days.
Other decisions for Christ
In Columbus, 54 people made professions of faith at a back-to-school festival sponsored by the Columbus Baptist Association on Saturday (Aug 5). At McDonough Road Baptist Church in Fayetteville, 42 people made salvation decisions in a worship service on Sunday morning.
All across Georgia, congregations have been seeing a higher-than-usual number of people turning to Christ since the COVID-19 pandemic subsided.
