W illis spoke last month on behalf of his ” Adopt-A-Business” Program, which offers financial and consumer support to five church-adopted businesses in the areas of food, clothing, shelter, travel and savings. Last month saw emphasis by the church on Founders Savings and Loan Association — one of the adopted enterprises. Pilgrims’ turnout at Founders opened 26 new bank accounts ranging in vlaue from $100 to $10,000. O'Bryant said the AAB Program is operating so effectively now that five more enterprises will be "adopted" by the church this September.
