Colorado Baptists have been given a huge opportunity to make a kingdom impact during a national event right here in our own backyard. As you are fully aware, I am sure, Denver will be hosting the Democratic National Convention this summer and we have opportunities for service during and around this event. Our disaster relief organization has been asked to be a part of a historic partnership between non-profit, religious and Governmental agencies. |
