Quitman Baptist RA wins national Pinewood Derby at SBC

June 14, 2024

By Baptist Message staff

INDIANAPOLIS (LBM) – Josiah Jones, a fifth grader from Quitman Baptist Church, recently won the national Royal Ambassador Pinewood Derby in the same city where the famed Indianapolis 500 is held each year.

Held June 9 prior to the 2024 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting, the race featured eight finalists from around the SBC who competed inside the exhibit hall. Jones, who won the Louisiana Baptist RA Congress Pinewood Derby race in March, expressed excitement about coming in first place on the national level, and thanked Louisiana Baptist Men’s Ministry Strategist Stan Statham and Southern Baptist Woman’s Missionary Union consultant for RAs, Challengers and Youth on Mission Keith Gates (also a member of First Baptist Church, Winnsboro) for coordinating the event.

“It was a unique and fun experience,” Jones told the Baptist Message. “I’m thankful to my church, Quitman Baptist; my pastor, Brother Donald Rudd; and my RA leader, Corey Rowe, for making this possible through RA Congress.”
