First Baptist Church, Farmington, may not sit on a hill, but its light shines through its "You are the Light"
family ministry each summer. Members wield paintbrushes. Others clean gutters and trim brush, and some handle power-washers, all at no cost to those they serve. The ministry allows them to connect people to the Lord and make a difference throughout the city.

For the fourth straight year, Kevin Collins, pastor of Omaha Baptist Church in Putnam County, and a staff of volunteers hosted a Rodeo Bible Camp that fuels students' thirst for God through instruction in cowboy skills.
