Missions
Crestwood Baptist Church is active in sharing the name of Jesus with our neighbors and nations through the “Acts 1:8 Strategy”. This involves reaching the 4 C’s: our Community (Local), Commonwealth (State), Continent (North America), and the Corners of the World (International). You can be part of the team by clicking on the ”Opportunities to Serve” link to the left and finding out about upcoming projects.
Habitat for Humanity project – Email me if you can be a part of the blitz build March 1-3. There are three options available for you: Thursday (8:30-12 with Chris Platt), Friday (12:30-4:00 with Steve McCarty), and Saturday (8:00-1:00). We need five (men and women) on each crew. You don’t have to be skilled. I’m not! Bring a hammer, measuring tape, nail pouch, pencil, and a great attitude! Again, email me if you can serve. We are in our second decade of building homes in the west end of Louisville.
Crossroads Pregnancy Resource Center – Opening this fall! Pray for board members as they seek an executive director, identify a location for the center, and raise funds.
M25 Offering – Last call for M25 gifts! These gifts help the poor, persecuted, fatherless, and enslaved peoples of our world. Make your check payable to CBC, put “M25” in the memo, and place in the offering plate.
Kenya Mission Team – CBC is partnering with Life In Abundance (LIA), a Christ-centered development organization operating in eight African countries. We will serve alongside LIA where God is already at work in Kisumu, Kenya. Our team will set up medical clinics in churches or at existing medical facilities and will provide medical services for folks that have limited or no access to health care. In addition, team members will minister to local fishermen and their families and will fellowship and share the Gospel with children and young adults participating in LIA’s street children rehabilitation program.
Prayer needs: Please pray that hearts will be opened to hear and receive the good news in Kenya. Pray that God will use each one of us solely for His purpose and that we will be transformed as well. Pray that the bondage of extreme poverty will be broken and people will be restored with a new hope in Jesus Christ.
Deacon Ministry – Do you know who our deacons are and what they do? Go to our Ministries page on our website and find out! There are opportunities available for you to assist one of our ministry teams. Contact Chris Platt if you would like to serve or need spiritual help, a hospital visit, or a homebound visit.
