The annual Crossover pre-convention evangelistic outreach moves to the inner city of Corpus Christi this year.
Volunteers have already laid the groundwork by inviting 6,000 children to attend an evangelistic event featuring Team Impact.
Local Southern Baptists distributed backpacks on Aug. 8 that helped prepare students with supplies for the new school year and included a ticket to the Nov. 13 event that could prepare them for eternity.
Upon receiving the school supplies, students registered their contact information, which SBTC churches have been using to follow up with a gospel presentation as they visit families in their homes.
Jack Harris, SBTC ministry associate for personal and event evangelism, said Team Impact will be presenting their feats of strength and talking about positive values in Corpus Christi-area schools the week of Nov. 8-12. In their 10th year of ministry, the Coppell-based team utilizes the talents of elite athletes to gain the attention of audiences of every age.
“At those assemblies we will give out free tickets to their Saturday night presentation,” said Harris, in addition to the tickets placed in the backpacks.
With 3,000 chairs in Exhibit Hall B of the American Bank Center, Harris hopes to see many young people and adults respond to a gospel invitation presented by the weightlifting team.
Local SBTC churches will follow up on anyone making a profession of faith and visit the families of students receiving the backpacks.
