Sponsor a Bike – Share the Gospel!?
Burke Changer Bikes

Could your church or Sunday School group sponsor a bike for a Burke Changer Block Party? During
Burke Changer Mission Week, the gospel is shared at each block party, creating a powerful opportunity for outreach in our community.
This summer, the youth of our CRBA churches will serve by building handicap ramps during the day. In the evenings, they will minister through  5 free, community-wide block parties, which include food, fun activities, and a special bike giveaway.
We need your help! Each bike costs $100 and provides not only a fun gift but also an opportunity for others to hear the gospel. Would you consider sponsoring a bike and making an eternal impact?  If you are willing to help please contact us at (828) 437-0137.

Resource of the Week
Big E Cube
Your CRBA has a Large Evangelism Cube for group demonstration available for your ministry events.  If you would like to reserve any CRBA resource please call 828-437-0137 or email admin@crbanc.org
