2022 EBO Day 3 -Crittenden Association of Baptist Churches

Each year, the Eliza Broadus Offering provides $500 grants for each Kentucky Baptist Association. These grants provide monies to support the unique missions and evangelism efforts of each associational to aid in furthering the gospel in their part of the state. Crittenden Association of Baptist Churches, under the leadership of Richard Kendall, matched the EBO grant with an additional $500 and gave the grants to two small churches as a way to encourage missions engagement.

First Baptist Church in Falmouth hosted a block party and provided free food, crafts, a bounce house, Kona Ice and other activities for children in the community. First Baptist is not a large church, but they reached forty children and their parents during this outreach opportunity.

Unity Baptist Church in rural Grant County used their grant to host several outreach events including a trunk or treat fall festival and a youth activity. Unity Baptist Church took small but effect steps to engage in missions. From these events, they have had 16 people join their church as regular attendees.  

How to Pray for Crittenden Baptist Association: 

• Pray that more churches would be encouraged to take small steps to engage in missions.
• Pray that people in the Falmouth and Grant County area would come to know the Lord and plug into their surrounding churches.
• Pray for church leadership and members that they would be encouraged by new visitors and would celebrate these “wins” no matter the size of their church.
