PARAGOULD, Ark. – The Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) Missions Team saw multiple people accept Jesus Christ into their hearts on Saturday, Sept. 9, during a medical-dental clinic at West View Baptist Church in Paragould.
Missions Assistant Team Leader and Community Missions Strategist Clint Ritchie said they had six people come to faith in Christ during the clinic. More than 50 people participated in the event.
