Christmas Backpacks

We have a new holiday ministry this year to benefit impoverished home churches. Faith Baptist Church will participate in the Christmas backpack drive sponsored by the Southern Baptist Convention of Virginia. Most backpacks go to Appalachian communities or newly planted, impoverished churches.

Like the shoeboxes, participants will get an empty backpack with a packing list, which includes everything from school supplies to Christian literature. Mark the tag with boy or girl and the appropriate age range and don’t forget to pray for the child who will receive the pack. Filled backpacks are due back to church by Sunday, October 20th.

Let’s make sure God’s Word is spread within our state as much as it is across the globe!
