Boston Marathon’s spectators receive Baptist volunteers’ aid & witness
BOSTON (BP)--As Boston Marathon runners filled the streets April 16, more than 180 volunteers ministered to spectators walking past two Boston-area churches along the route.
They met physical needs by handing out countless bottles of water, free seven-minute phone cards and even maps of the race. And they offered an evangelical Christian witness as well, including a brief printed presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ on the maps and small booklets describing a relationship with Christ in more detail.
