SAVE THE DATE FOR 2010!!

NC Operation Inasmuch is a one day missions blitz organized statewide but implemented at the local level.  In 2008 over 1,000 NC churches participated with approximately 60,000 participants.  The results were over 300 people being saved.

The next statewide missions blitz will be April 24/May 1, 2010.  We invite your church to save this date(s) and plan to participate in missions outreach to your community.
More information to come, but in the meantime.....SAVE THE DATE!!!
