REACH CROSSROADS

July 8th-14th IN STEARNS, KENTUCKY

ONE LOCATION, MANY WAYS TO SERVE

Poverty does not just affect inner-cities and 3rd world countries. Many rural communities in the US are in financial hardship. FCOB will be partnering with Crossroads Community Church in Stearns, Kentucky where over one-third of the people are living in need. 
You will get to share the Gospel, and witness to those who may never have heard the Gospel, or even know what Jesus has done for them. We will be working with the Lord's Café to serve meals, talk, and share our stories with those that eat there. There will be opportunities to serve in other ways like leading Bible School and providing assistance to the Laundry Ministry. 
All ages are welcome to join us. This is an opportunity for the whole family to serve and share the Gospel with those who need it. Youth under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by a guardian. The cost of travel for those attending will be approximately $200. 

How can I serve in Kentucky?
