The last two weeks in July saw several Arkansas Baptist churches serve throughout the state. These churches served both church plants and established churches in various stages of revitalization.
Approximately 50 participants from the Arkansas River Valley Association served in the south Arkansas communities of Magnolia, Waldo, and Carthage.
“This is the largest group we have ever taken and was made up of folks from eleven Association churches. Even more of our churches supported the mission trip with carnival prizes, financial giving and powerful prayer cover,” said Danny Green, associational missions strategist.
Decisions for Christ
The group served at Faith Outreach in Waldo during each day, with one team holding a VBS while the other worked on the church facilities. Each evening consisted of carnivals, or block parties, with two held in Magnolia and one in Waldo. For their final day, the group moved to Carthage, where shelves were built to assist the food pantry at Helm Church, then the day ended with another carnival.
Looking back over the trip, Green commended the work of his team and the host churches.
“Each carnival was very well attended, the church folks were awesome at making contacts and engaging the guests, and folks were being saved at almost every location,” he said. At least nine professions of faith were recorded.
