Men’s Rally
Men's Rally May 2025
Thank You, Zion Baptist Church!
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Zion Baptist Church for graciously hosting this quarter’s Men and Boys Rally. With over 125 men and boys in attendance, the evening was filled with fellowship, powerful worship, and spiritual encouragement.
From the delicious meal to the uplifting music, every part of the night pointed us toward Christ. We were especially blessed by a moving testimony from Jeff Bucchanan and a powerful message from Pastor Stephen Collins, straight from God’s Word.
Additionally, we rejoice that one individual gave their life to Christ—a true reminder of why we gather and share the Gospel. God’s presence was truly felt, and we give all the glory to our Lord and Savior for what He is doing in the lives of men and boys across our community.


10 BurkeChanger Bikes Donated – Thank You!
We are excited to celebrate the donation of 10 BurkeChanger Bikes for our upcoming Community Block Parties! These bikes will be given away as part of our outreach events, where families from our community will gather for fun, connection—and most importantly—hear a clear presentation of the Gospel.
A huge thank you to everyone who generously gave to make this possible. Your support is helping us open doors to gospel conversations and share the love of Christ in tangible ways.
Please join us in praying for the upcoming BurkeChangers Mission Week—that hearts would be open, lives would be changed, and God would be glorified in all we do.
