On the first day of school, more than 500 children will walk into the classroom with brand new book bags and supplies, compliments of Believers Church of Statesboro. “We believe in ‘Serve-It Evangelism,’” Outreach Pastor Mike Oglesby said of the program. “We wanted to give back to the community; we saw a need we could meet.”
