We had a great mission in Key West. We found many people there receptive to our out reach. We went into many homes inviting them to the "Super Saturday" VBS and to worship with us the following day.
Our main goal as we went on this mission trip was to strengthen the new brethren which we had baptized in the previous years. This we worked at with due diligence. We were pleased however at the efforts the church is making in out reaching to the community. They wanted us to develop a program and plan to involve the church with the community. We developed another "Super Saturday" . For three days leading up to Sat., many of us went door to door with fliers telling about the "Super Saturday" We offered transportation to those who needed it. Many of us worked hard. When Sat. arrived we didn't know if anyone would show up. The teachers were very well prepared, but would the people come? THEY DID COME. We had 52 for VBS that morning. Around half of them came back for services Sunday morning and some of them brought their parents. Who said people are not interested in church anymore? The church has names and addresses to do future follow up. Due to all of our efforts there, there have been 5 baptisms. It was a good mission. Thank you so much for your prayerful support of this mission.
In our future reports, we will be reviewing our efforts at the lectureship at the Florida School of Preaching. Don
