Volunteer missions stories sought for resource

A retired Virginia Baptist pastor is seeking experiences of missions volunteers to be compiled into a resource for churches.

Ray Allen, retired pastor of Blacksburg Baptist Church in Blacksburg and a missions volunteer himself, is collecting “interesting, inspiring or humorous” anecdotes from any Virginia Baptist who has taken a mission trip either with his or her congregation or through Virginia Baptist partnership missions.

After they are compiled, they will be made available to churches to use in promotion of mission trips.

Anecdotes may be sent to Allen at raymondfallen@cs.com; at 1080 Mead Valley Rd., Moneta, VA 24121; or at (540) 297-4539.
