When God called church planting missionary Troy Gause to do something he’d never done before—help revitalize a dying church in Marrero, Louisiana—he decided to do the only thing he knew how to do. “The gospel has this uncanny aspect to it,” he says. “People get saved when you preach it. So that’s what I did. And what’s happened since then—it’s undeniable that God is in this.” NAMB photo by Ben Rollins

Every year, hundreds of Southern Baptist churches close their doors for good. Not long ago, it looked like Ames Boulevard Baptist Church in Marrero, Louisiana, would be one of those. But God had other plans. NAMB photo by Ben Rollins

Leon and Javon Every never thought they’d be the kind of people who’d be in church every time the doors opened. But then church planting missionary Troy Gause replanted a new work in the old Baptist church building located just down the street from their house. “Seven of our grandkids ended up getting saved and baptized here,” Javon says. “Now, we’re here worshipping every Sunday.” NAMB photo by Ben Rollins

It had been years since Leon and Javon Every had been to a church of any kind. But they got curious when they noticed a suddenly full parking lot at the old church just down the street from their house. “We said to each other, ‘We should go visit there,’” Javon says. “So, a couple of Sundays later, we went. And the rest is history.” NAMB photo by Ben Rollins

When Leon and Javon Every began bringing their family to the new church that’d just started in their neighborhood, seven of their grandkids gave their lives to Christ. “I always wanted us all to follow Jesus,” Javon says. “And this new church—this is how it happened.” NAMB photo by Ben Rollins

When church planter Troy Gause and the members of Cross Community Church discovered Leon and Javon Every had been together for 39 years, but had never gotten married, they decided to do something special. “Troy talked to us about marriage and what it symbolized,” Javon says, “and then the church gave us a beautiful wedding. Wow. That meant so much.” NAMB photo by Ben Rollins

Racial diversity was not what Leon and Javon Every expected to see when they visited Cross Community Church. “But that’s the first thing we noticed,” Javon says. “There was White and Black and all different kinds of people there, and everybody treated everybody else like family. We really connected with that.” NAMB photo by Ben Rollins
