Licking First Baptist Church will host an event Friday, June 20, featuring a speaker whose life was changed by a global outreach ministry.

Yuri “Judy” Lopez, of Honduras, will share her testimony at 10 a.m. about how she came to faith in Christ through Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse that delivers gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need around the world.

Area churches and anyone interested in missions are invited to attend the event and learn how they can make an impact — without ever leaving home.
