EVANGELISM RESPONSE CENTER |
The first
regional facilitator for the Evangelism Response Center, NAMB,
is a member of a NABA church? There are now 100s of ERC regional
facilitators (trainers) across the U.S. including Hawaii, but
the very first one is located right here in Harrison. Our
Association office (as well as some of our churches) is
covenanted with the ERC to help new Christians find home
churches in our area when these local people accept Christ on
the telephone with an ERC encourager. If a person in our area
calls the ERC phone number and accepts Christ, the NABA office
may be called upon to help place that new Christian into a local
SBC church. This year's
telephone encourage of the year is a lady who lives right here
in the Harrison area.
If you would like to know more
about volunteering as a tele-phone encourager or are a pastor
interested in the ERC, please visit the ERC website:

or contact Jeanie Hunt.
