Update: Binghampton Community Church is getting stronger and stronger

each day by the Grace of God. Over the past six months we have

continued to embed Christ and our lives into the fabric of our

community. God has added seven new members, five Baptisms,

and several attendees to our congregation.

Focus: Making Disciples

Spring Break Mission We worked with Clear Creek Bible College [which is located in Eastern Kentucky] many of

them partnered with us last year for family fest and they decided to comeback for Spring

Break. They also worked with Impact Baptist Church with Pastor Ellis. We saw many lives

impacted during their time with us.

We worked with Focus on Missions and Oak Grove Baptist Church for an evangelistic eye glass

clinic. We saw 100 hundred residents, fitted 90 with glasses, and shared the gospel with them

and many others in the community. Please pray that God will continue to allow us to restore

sight to the blind [physically and spiritually☺]
