The Ministries of Christian Discipleship Fund
The fund was established with the ABCOPAD share of the proceeds from the sale of the Laurel Highlands Baptist Camp. The earnings from the fund are used to support cooperative ministries of making Christian disciples in the ABCOPAD region. At least 50% of the funds distributed each calendar year support camping, conferencing and retreat ministries. Additionally, the cooperative ministries of youth and family events, leadership training and development, and similar joint evangelistic and eduational efforts are supported with grants.
