A Challenge Presented

Over the past few years, this ministry has provided a worship service and Bible study for a total annual attendance of 6500 military members at Fort Jackson. That represents approximately 2500 different individuals that have taken the opportunity to worship at least one Sunday.

The average attendance based on 50 weeks a year is 130. We estimate that of those 2500, 20 to 30% are members of the church. Based on the current members, this ministry is on track to assist 90 to 100 individuals in baptism this year. These are about the same numbers for the past 3 - 5 years.

That all said, this ministry has the opportunity to send 2500 missionaries into the corners of the globe. With this and the current conflict in Iraq and elsewhere, the attendees are being challenged to take two Bibles, provided by this ministry, with them. If deployed, they are encouraged to utilize these Bibles for their own study and to present them to a local national before they return to the USA when an appropriate opportunity becomes available. With this challenge, we will soon use all available funds to purchase Bibles to give to the soldiers.

This is where the membership of Palmetto can help with a great mission effort. If interested, anyone can contribute to the Bible fund at Fort Jackson through the Palmetto congregation.

Worship starts at 11:30 am at the Anderson Street Chapel.

 

If you are interested in assisting with the worship service, please contact Kevin Grindstaff.
