Doug and Kim Gaskins In late Winter the search begins for a summer mission project for the adult construction team from the First Baptist Church of Middletown, Kentucky. While searching through the CBF website looking for stateside mission requests, Jim Cobban, the church’s pastor, came across the names of Bob and Janice Newell, CBF field personnel in Athens, Greece. They were searching for American Christians with specific skills: a financial planner/debt counselor; a computer skills teacher; and a social worker. All of these needs are for a one-week mission project at PORTA, the Albanian cultural center in Athens. It was a “Eureka” moment!
The following December, after a ten-day pilgrimage in the Holy Land, pastor Jim Cobban stopped in Athens for a few days. At a meeting at PORTA, Jim and Bob discussed how the First Baptist Church could partner with the Newells in their outreach to the Albanian population in Greece. Without a “missions budget,” funding would have to be creative but both men were trusting God to supply the needs of PORTA. Returning home, Jim began to share with the church his dream of sending First Baptist members overseas to use their unique gifts in missions and ministry.

CHBC pulpit fills with shoesOn Sunday morning, December 12, Crescent Hill Baptist collected an Offering of Shoes. Each pair of shoes resulted in a $0.60 donation to EDGE Outreach. EDGE will then use these funds to install water purification systems in places around the world where clean water is desperately needed. We collected nearly 900 pairs of shoes that day. The offering was a powerful reminder that God can take what we may discard, and turn it into a life-giving blessing. Click here for more information about EDGE Outreach.
