Illinois Baptist churches discover creative ways to reach neighbors

Illinois Baptist churches are discovering creative ways to reach their neighbors with the gospel.

First Baptist Church, Salem, Illinois, purchased apple pies, prayed over them in the Sunday service and sent members out with a pie and an outreach card for their neighbors.

Volunteers from Lincoln Avenue Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Illinois, spent a day at a local laundromat, handing out enough quarters for a full day of laundry. In the process, they made connections with their neighbors.
