Colston Baptist Church is a small country church with a vision and commitment to go out into the highways and hedges to bring the children in so they can be taught the Bible. Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed because of the lack of knowledge.”
We don’t want another generation to grow up without the knowledge of Jesus Christ. As families move from the towns and cities to the country, we see the need to gather as many children as possible so they can be taught the Bible.
Approximately a year ago, the church started a children’s ministry with a very small group of children and youth. We celebrated our one-year anniversary with 24 in attendance. We found children nine years of age who had never been to Sunday school.
The program consists of Bible instruction through the means of DVDs, live teaching, music, fellowship, recreation and food. Two children have accepted Christ as their Savior and followed through with baptism.
We have children in the community who want to come to the meetings and to Sunday school, but parents don’t bother to bring them. Workers pick up the children whenever possible. We could reach more children if we had transportation.
In order to do this, we are in need of a 15- to 24-passenger bus. If your church is going to sell or trade in a bus of this size, please call us. We would like to talk with you about it. Our phone number is (803) 267-6603 or (843) 833-1035(cell). Please help us gather the harvest in this mission project.
