by Glenda Williams, BNc correspondent

GENEVA, Alabama (BNc) — “Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can come back up,” is a statement  made about people on the wrong pathway in life.  That statement often explains the position of those confined in the local county jail. 

On Thursday evenings a group of men from the church in Geneva goes into the jail for Bible study with the inmates. As a result of those Bible studies, five men were baptized Thursday morning, October 7. Read more

Wiregrass Christian Youth Camp is touching lives

by Glenda Williams, BNc correspondent

GENEVA, Alabama (BNc) – Wiregrass Christian Youth Camp, Chancellor, Alabama, has recorded another successful summer of camping. 

Joel Ellis, President of the youth camp, states “With the assistance of 263 staff volunteers, we were privileged to host 684 young people at Camp Wiregrass this summer.”  604 of those campers won the highest coveted Bible Rosette award.  During the eight weeks of camp, there were 16 baptisms and 62 prayer requests. 

Camp Wiregrass, as it is lovingly referred to, is nestled around a former golf course near Chancellor, Alabama. Work toward improving the camp is done throughout the year by volunteers.  Among other improvements this year, the campers enjoyed two new lighted outdoor classrooms.

41 campers were able to experience the camp this summer because of generous scholarship donations. Churches, and friends of the camp, make donations each year assuring that any child who wants to attend camp may do so.  Angie Braswell, secretary for the camp states, “We don’t turn a child away who wishes  to come to camp and doesn’t have financial means.”

Amerindian mission trip reaps fruit

by Glenda Williams, BNC correspondent

GENEVA, Ala. (BNc) — Jerry O. Davidson, missionary to the Amerindians villages  in Guyana, recently completed another mission trip June 24-July 16.  Efforts were focused on St. Cuthbert’s Mission Village and Kopinang Village.

Those participating in the campaign included 20 Americans, two Trinidadians and approximately 25 from Guyana. Among the Americans were six members from the youth group at the New Union church in Manchester, Tenn. They were led by Mark Williams.

The purpose of this trip was to conduct Vacation Bible School and a campaign for Christ. The VBS was scheduled to begin at 6:30 each evening. 178 children attended every night and were there 30 minutes early ready to study the Bible.

The campaign for Christ reaped 200 in attendance each night. Total visible results for the time period of the three-week effort were 55 restorations, 31 baptisms and three weddings.

The evangelistic services in Kopinang Village were conducted under an open galvanized roof shed which is the village marketplace. Using a string of  light bulbs powered by a small gas generator, there was enough light for those attending to follow along in the Bible during the sermon.

Davidson reported buying a gallon of gas for the generator and paying $15.00 U.S. currency for it. Read more
