Across Alabama Training
East Cullman Baptist Association Director of Missions, Randy Makemson, reports on the recent Across Alabama training event held for church leaders in the association.
"We had about 250 people attend the training at First Baptist Church, Fairview. We had 28 churches represented out of 53 (in the association), which comes to about 58% of the churches participating. We have another training in December for those that weren't able to attend the first training event. With the extra training opportunity, we should have over 60% of the churches in the association participate."
