Fifty teachers recently opened a new classroom in Round Rock on the Texas Baptist Children's Home campus. But instead of blackboards and erasers, the two cottages, which normally house up to 10 Family Care residents, were filled with books and children. And the one lesson these volunteers wanted to teach was a love for reading.

TOGETHER: Epicenter Ground zero for revival_120604

TOGETHER:
Epicenter: Ground zero for revivalAt the end of every year while I was a pastor, I gave thanks for the people who were saved and baptized that year in the church. I also prayed, “Lord, help us reach even more people for Christ next year.” Years ago, someone said to me, “God is easily pleased but hard to satisfy.” That's the way I felt about our evangelism efforts–pleased but not satisfied! Every pastor understands the feeling.
Where can you get help so you and your church can be more effective in reaching people for Christ?
You have asked the Baptist General Convention of Texas for help that will relate to your church.
