From Joe Sorah, compassion ministry specialist, Tennessee Baptist Mission Board:
“Thank you for all those who are donating Christmas Backpacks this year. We have many churches that are requesting our assistance and your participation is greatly needed. As the collection dates are nearing, we want to remind you of where to take your backpacks and ask that you call your collection center in advance to schedule a delivery time.”
