Bible Club at East Point 

In January, we have an outreach opportunity available at East Point Academy, South Carolina's only Chinese Immersion school.   

There are over 200 students attending from many cultural backgrounds, and we are hoping to start an after-school "Good News Bible Club" through Child Evangelism Fellowship.  We need 9 more volunteers over the age of 15 that would be willing to serve on this team for 6 weeks. 

If you are interested and for more information, please contact Allison Shipman at  allison@columbiacrossroads.org.
