Despite being forced out of the building they meet in because of December’s flood-ing, Carlisle Baptist Church (CBC) has seen tremendous opportunities for the gospel in the months that have followed.
In February, CBC held an evangelistic men’s meal, where one of the elders who has been forced out of his flooded home was interviewed about his faith. Around 30 men attended the meal, with about a quarter brought along by church members.
Helping flooded families
Money that was collected by the church to help flooded families has been put to good use during the clean-up operation. People from the church family can nominate those in need from the community to receive the donations, while the church has also been able to use the funds to help those with no home insurance.
