Winning Souls, One Bus Ride at a Time: The Impact of Mount Hebron Baptist Church's Bus Ministry
There's something special about a child's unwavering faith and pure love for their church. This is the case for a little girl, whom we will call Sara, who rides the church bus to Mount Hebron Baptist Church each Sunday. Sara's excitement for the upcoming service is palpable as she anxiously awaits her bus workers each Saturday, following them around her neighborhood as they invite other children to ride the bus to church on Sunday.
For Sara, Mount Hebron Baptist Church is more than just a place of worship; it is a sanctuary where she feels truly loved. It's evident that this is a place where she feels safe and at home, surrounded by a supportive community who share her values and beliefs. It's no wonder that she is so eager to attend each week.
Mount Hebron Baptist Church is making a real difference in the lives of children like Sara by sharing the Gospel each week.
