For 2020, BRN Executive Director Barry Whitworth has issued a “10/5 Challenge,” urging 50 churches to “step out” as the BRN closes out 50 years of ministry and sets the stage for the next 50 years of ministry within Pennsylvania/South Jersey.

In that effort, Whitworth urged 50 BRN churches to become involved in five areas: church revitalization, church multiplication, compassion ministry, collegiate ministry, and international missions.

The 10/5 challenge is “to help inspire churches to move beyond where they are, to become healthier by doing something they’ve never done before, in order to reach more and more people for Christ,” Whitworth said.
