Riverside Baptist Church, Decatur, Ill., welcomed Chris Hindal to participate in its Sunday services on May 6. Chris had just returned from Africa and really appreciated the hotel and wonderful food Riverside Baptist provided for the weekend.

During Sunday School Chris presented the ministry of Gospel Literature Services, preached during the morning worship service, and presented the International Partnership in the evening service. Pastor John Norris felt moved to conclude the evening service by singing the doxology and asking Chris to step to the middle of the congregation while two deacons committed him to the Lord. The missions committee invited Chris to dinner and asked about projects that their church might consider.

Chris says, “Here is a church that pursues missions with a passion and is considering commitment of some of their monthly support to sending Sunday School curriculum around the world. I am praying that many others will follow their lead.”
