In Mark 16:15, Jesus says, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” In the week leading up to September 27th, the people of Liberty Baptist Church WENT! Approximately 8,000 brochures were put on mailboxes and doors of those in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Mebane areas. [...]
