Testimonies of God’s Faithfulness across Ohio

Church Planters and Wives Retreat
The planters and wives retreat was a life-giving experience. Each and every detail was prepared with care and a desire to communicate that we were seen, understood, and valued. The message was received loud and clear.

Thank you Dr. Westbrook and SCBO staff for loving us well. Let’s win Ohio!”

Easter Outreach, Freedom Hill Community Church 
Freedom Hill Community Church utilized part one of the initiative evangelism grant awarded this year to impact over 600 children during a city of Stow Easter event engaging families and providing a gospel QR cartoon code for families to view.

I just wanted to thank you for providing many of the resources used to impact / engage families. Alongside of us, were three other gospel-centric congregations in the mix.  These pastors and I have been praying together for the city of Stow.

Spring Break Outreach to Xavier University, H2O Church, University of Cincinnati
Quick update about the evangelism spring break trip. It was awesome. We had at least 120 gospel conversations with Xavier students and we are hoping to start an H2O life group on their campus in the fall.

By the end of the week the Xavier faculty discovered that we were doing evangelism on campus. Because Xavier is a Catholic university, we were asked to stop doing that and were told we weren’t allowed to have a Bible study on campus unless we are an approved organization.

We had to cut evangelism a half-day short because of this, but by that time we had already met so many students so that was ok. The money SCBO contributed paid for our food for the week and made the trip a lot cheaper for each of our students.
Thank you so much!

VBS Training Event, CABA Association
The VBS event at Rolling Hills Baptist Church was a great success. The team did a wonderful job in preparing, planning, and presenting. We had 21 people and six churches represented from Cincinnati to Columbus. Thank you for partnering with the CABA association. Everyone left encouraged and excited about VBS this summer.
