The Mid-Atlantic ASK Committee formed in 1983, representing ecclesias from the greater New York City area, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington, DC.1Mid-Atlantic ASK quickly developed its own outreach programs. These initially included a Bible Message Telephone Service that was used by several ecclesias, the coordination of preaching themes throughout the region, and the use of newspaper advertising, mass mailings, and mall displays as ways of advertising Bible truth to the public.
More recently, Mid-Atlantic ASK has sponsored Bible seminars, a Bible Quiz program, and experimented with cable television broadcasting in areas where there are no local ecclesias. A contact base of 2,400 people has been generated from these outreach efforts. Mid-Atlantic ASK is currently focused on effective follow up work with the contacts while also seeking to interact with other ASK Committees for the purpose of sharing and developing effective preaching ideas. Mid-Atlantic ASK can be contacted at bibleask@verizon.net.
