Find It Here
Purpose
- by April 24, 2011
across the state
Kentucky Baptists are looking to follow up on the highly successful 2010 Find it Here door-to-door evangelistic campaign by distributing a booklet featuring the books of John and Romans from the Bible to places not reached by the original effort, including nursing homes, assisted living facilities, prisons and college campuses.
Kentucky Baptists will also be delivering the scripture portion to specific friends and neighbors for whom they will have been praying. The state’s Hispanic and deaf populations will also be receiving the scripture portions.
The Find it Here campaign will take place in the weeks leading up to Easter 2011.
Just as in 2010, Kentucky Baptists will be asked to conduct prayer walks or drives along every street in the state, praying for the people living and working in that area.
That will be followed in by 21 days of scripture reading, fasting, prayer and the delivery of the scripture portions in the weeks leading up to Easter on April 24.

The 2010 Find it Here Campaign
Find it Here was a campaign to deliver the Gospel to 1.5 million households across Kentucky in the weeks leading up to Easter Sunday 2010.
A total of 1,685 Kentucky Baptist churches actively participated in Find it Here 2010. Sixty-eight associations also supported the effort. An estimated 40,000 - 50,000 Kentucky Baptists participated in prayerwalking and gospel distribution throughout the campaign. As a result, a Gospel presentation and other materials were delivered to 1.3 million homes across Kentucky just ahead of Easter 2010.
