CrossOver '08 - Volunteers Lead Hundreds to Christ in Indianapolis
Now in its 20th year, Crossover is an annual outreach to share the Gospel in the host city the weekend before the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting. CrossOver '08 in Indianapolis saw approximately 500 volunteers lead 759 people to professions of faith in Christ just before the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting. Heavy rain, dangerous lightning, tornado warnings and, in some places, flooding buffeted metro Indianapolis during most of Crossover'08, but by afternoon the sun emerged and local and visiting Southern Baptists were out telling others about the Son.
