July-August 2026

July 3rd and 4th were our busiest days of the summer by far. We handed out around 10,000 John and Romans booklets over those two days.

At the end of July, we had just over 100 Congressional staffers attend a luncheon which we hosted. Dr. Alton Beal told a few testimonials and shared the gospel. Contrary to our expectations, most of the people were very attentive, and very few left before the gospel was shared.

We started the summer with 82,000 total John and Romans and ended the summer with just 18,000 remaining, meaning 64,000 were given out!

We did not do this alone by any means. This summer there were 260 volunteers with 25 total churches represented.

DCGO was an incredible opportunity to serve the Lord and see God work. One of our biggest takeaways was seeing the many religions in DC. It is easy to think of DC as a godless place, but it is not - it is a Christless place. Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, Muslims, Monks, and even Christian Scientists were all out, many aggressively proselytizing.

While this presented an opportunity to learn more about various religions, it also highlighted the need in DC for Christ.

WHAT’S NEXT?

We appreciate continued prayers for us as we start a busy school year at Ambassador Baptist College. Pray for understanding for Brandon as he takes second-year Greek class. Pray for Anna as she serves in the music department.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support as we served the Lord in Washington, DC, this summer!

In Christ, the Kilbys
