“...in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect...”
—I Peter 3:15
Street Preaching Conference at
The Boardwalk Chapel
by Byron Spear
Summer Intern at The Boardwalk Chapel
The first ever Boardwalk Chapel Street Preaching Conference has come to a close. Over 4 days, up to 25 people have been trained in street preaching and evangelism and have gone out onto the boardwalk. People seeking to grow in evangelism traveled from as far as Alabama and Georgia, and from closer to home: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
The faithful preaching of the Word did not return void, and the Holy Spirit moved, bringing over 20 people to a profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. Al Baker, the conference director, said that the conference was an overwhelming success, exceeding all expectations.
One of the highlights of the conference was an attendee himself fully realizing the truth of the gospel and being saved in the middle of teaching and training. Please pray for these people who prayed to receive Christ, as well as the hundreds of people who were exposed to a full or partial gospel presentation. God is good!

The Latest
Julian Russell, MTW missionary to the Bahamas, shared this need and opportunity with us:
Bahamas – Hurricanes are coming!
Hurricane season is here* for the Bahamas. The majority of families on the islands of Abaco and Grand Bahama are still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Dorian. Homes are only partially rebuilt and most do not have roofs. The Covid-19 global pandemic crippled the economy, and with few jobs available, the challenge of day-to-day survival remains difficult.
*The official hurricane season runs from June through November. August, September, and early October are traditionally the months of highest risk.
