Acton Baptist Church takes action to reach community

GRANBURY—Through Texas Hope 2010, Texas Baptists are seeking to pray for, care for and share their faith with the community around them. Acton Baptist Church is doing all three.

The congregation has been praying for a neighborhood near the church, as well as providing meals for hungry children there. It held Vacation Bible School to share the gospel with children.

On Aug. 19, the congregation provided school supplies for children whose families could not afford to buy them. In addition to the items, the families also received spiritual help in the form of encouraging words and a Texas Hope 2010 multimedia CD through which the gospel is shared in words, video and audio presentations.

“We obviously hope there will be a lot of people come to trust the Lord,” Pastor Glen Ward said of the event.

Texas Hope 2010 is a Baptist General Convention of Texas initiative to share the gospel with every Texan by Easter 2010. For more information, visit www.texashope2010.com .
