Every spring, our fellowship gathers for a "family reunion" of sorts which we refer to as our Spring Gathering. We meet in one of our KBF partner churches, rotating between the eastern, central and western parts of the state. Each Spring Gathering offers worship, informative workshops, and helpful resources from various ministry partners in KBF and CBF life. Please plan join us in 2011!

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.

The communion set given as a gift to the EEAM by KBF in honor of the installation of Samuel Amedro, new Secretary General of the EEAM.Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus . . .
This was our prayer before embarking on a five-day, 10,000 mile trek to and from Morocco in November. We arrived to the welcome sight of Diachari (the new coordinator of the migrant/refugee ministry) and Sevy, our friend and remarkable singer/dancer with the Voices United Choir.
We spent Thursday and most of Friday meeting with the refugee/migrant teams from the churches in Casablanca and Rabat. It was great to see familiar faces, like Helge and Christiano, and to meet new friends such as Anne Marie, Angel, Apollinaire and Renata. These exceptional people have been involved in this difficult work for many years. Seeing their level of commitment and coming to understand the challenges they face was both inspiring and heartbreaking.

Today we introduce Journey Fellowship to the community with our Neighbor2Neighbor Project. It features eight different service projects: trash pick-up, food collection, some building projects, and two laundromat projects. Sixty volunteers gather for a short devotion, organize into service teams, don brightly colored “Journey Fellowship” T-shirts, and scatter throughout the neighborhood.
I'm surprised by the turn out. I assumed the community service would engender positive feelings about Journey Fellowship, and they did. But it was not the receiving of services; it was the opportunity to serve—to give of themselves, that attracted more than double the number of volunteers we expected.
