🗨️ "Operation Inasmuch enhances the possibility that ordinary believers can be used by God to do extraordinary things."

That's the beauty of Operation Inasmuch.

God doesn't just work through pastors, teachers, worship leaders, or those on a church stage. Throughout Scripture, He used fishermen, tentmakers, business owners, doctors, and everyday people to accomplish His purposes.

Operation Inasmuch creates opportunities for believers to use the talents, skills, and passions God has already given them to serve others in Jesus' name. Whether you're painting a wall, building a ramp, mentoring a child, serving a meal, praying with a neighbor, or offering a helping hand, God can use your ordinary gifts to make an extraordinary impact.

When people discover that ministry isn't limited to what happens inside the church building, their understanding of serving God changes forever. They experience the joy and fulfillment of being God's hands and feet in their community.

You don't have to be extraordinary to be used by God. You simply have to be willing.

"This was Cornerstone's 18th year in Inasmuch. This year we decided to go as a group to one of our local elementary schools for a morning of projects. We have partnered with Westfield for several years, including staff meals and back to school events.

For 2026 Operation Inasmuch, we worked outside the school by spreading mulch and brick chips, cleaning the parking lot and front entry, and cleaning and painting the mailbox. Inside the school, we helped organize their "Loads of Love" room. This room serves as a food and clothing pantry for the students and their families. We installed clothing racks, and organized clothing by size and gender. We also shopped for food items for the room.

We enjoyed working as a group at the same work site. There was a lot of good fellowship throughout the morning."

Faith in action is alive and well at Conway Baptist Church in Conway, NC! For years, Shelby has faithfully helped lead their Inasmuch efforts, rallying the church to step beyond the walls and into the community. Because of that leadership, and the heart of their congregation, hundreds of lives are touched each year.

Together with Pastor Kevin and a dedicated team of volunteers, Conway Baptist is living out what it truly means to follow Christ, serving the hungry, caring for the hurting, and reaching those who feel forgotten. This is more than a day of service, it's a lifestyle of compassion.

They are a powerful example of what's possible when a church says "YES" to being the hands and feet of Jesus.

Now it's your turn!

Imagine your entire congregation mobilized, serving the hungry, the sick, the imprisoned, and the lost. Imagine the impact your church could make in your own community in just one day... and the ripple effect it could create for years to come.

Join the Compassion Revolution with Operation Inasmuch. Step out. Serve boldly. And watch God move in and through your church in ways you never expected.

There’s something especially powerful about seeing the next generation step up to serve. At the annual Snyder Memorial Baptist Church Inasmuch Day, volunteers came together to pack baskets for children in the hospital.

One young volunteer summed it up perfectly: “I really love this project, it’s my favorite that I’ve done before.” Moments like this remind us just how impactful it is to create opportunities for children to serve.

Projects like these are more than just acts of kindness. They’re moments of growth. When we intentionally plan service opportunities that kids can be part of, we’re helping them learn compassion, generosity, and the joy of putting others first. Because the truth is, even kids need to be serving others too.

Thank you to everyone who made this project possible and for investing in both the lives of those receiving these baskets and the young hearts learning what it means to serve. 🙌
