Neighborhood Bible clubs

Neighborhood Bible clubs are an outreach of Iglesia Bautista Monte Hebrón. The Ashcraft prayer letters document multi-day programs followed by invitations to church services.

March 2024

The April 2024 letter dates that year's clubs to Tuesday, March 26, through Saturday, March 30. It reported more than 2,000 children attending and more than 1,100 accepting Christ. The letter does not specify whether attendance was deduplicated across days. [1]

For the following Sunday, March 31, it reported more than 500 people at church and over 190 people making public commitments. Those public commitments should not automatically be treated as an additional count of conversions. [1]

April 2025

The April 2025 letter described Five Day Bible Clubs at eleven locations, involving 92 church members and Bible institute students. It reported attendance of more than 1,000 children and adults and 824 professions of faith. [2]

The letter also recorded follow-up attendance on Sunday, April 20: 45 adult visitors in the main auditorium service, 26 public professions of faith, nine baptisms, and 15 children professing faith in junior church. These figures describe separate reported activities and are not combined into a unique-person total. [2]

The figures above are attributed to the ministry's contemporary letters. The sources do not establish a consistent attendance-counting method, so the two years should not be used to calculate a precise growth or decline rate.
