COVID-19 has been a ministry opportunity in disguise--connecting BRN churches and the community through hunger ministry.

COVID-19 has opened up new ministry opportunities through hunger ministry. Some BRN churches had hunger ministry prior to COVID-19. For others it is a new way to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of the community. Great Commission Church, First Baptist Church of Crestmont, Zion Church, Gettysburg Baptist, Covenant and East Shore are reaching deep into their communities and building relationships by providing food to those in need.
