A free concert kicks off Wayne County's week of faith and outreach
The community is invited to worship together and learn more about upcoming events at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 20, at Orrville Baptist Church, 204 Bell Ave., Orrville. The gathering is intended to prepare attendees for a weeklong revival effort that is scheduled to launch with a free public concert by David Leonard at 6:30 p.m. July 25 at Fisher Auditorium on the OARDC Wooster campus of OSU, according to a community announcement.
David Leonard is described as a nationally known contemporary Christian singer-songwriter, with songs such as "Good Lord," "Great Are You Lord" and "Come As You Are. " He is coming to Wayne County through River Radio, which has a regional station in Wooster.
From July 26-31, Wayne County churches are teaming with reviveOHIO, an organization that brings missionaries and volunteers from Ohio and beyond. The week is expected to include prayer, outreach, meals and worship, as local churches work together to reach out to the community.
'ReviveOHIO's mission is to unite and equip local believers to go out into their community to pray for people, share the good news of the Gospel, and make disciples of Jesus Christ,' reviveOHIO State Director Mark Burd said in the announcement. 'Wayne County will be the 20th county over the past nine years where churches have invited us to work alongside them for at least a week of this kind of special focus.
'This is a shift from the traditional method of just hoping everyone in the community decides to go to church on Sunday, Burd added. "We want to follow the example of Jesus Himself, and go into the marketplace where people are, and personally invite them to know Him. This is a great way to reach out and 'love our neighbors' without cramming religion down their throats."
Still time to get involved
At least 19 church congregations or individuals from those churches have indicated plans to be involved as of July 10 and organizers are encouraging more churches and individuals to participate.
'We still see a lot of opportunity to get involved in things like hosting a missionary or helping to serve a meal,' said Chris Clark, who is part of the local organizing group.
Opportunities to participate include attending training and outreach, hosting missionaries or helping with meal preparation and serving.
Daily testimonies and lunches will be hosted at various church locations at noon, followed by teams trained and going out at 2 pm.

Jussie Smollett, Jessie James Decker & More Will Be Put to the Test on ‘Special Forces' Season 4
Jussie Smollett and Jessie James Decker both have what it takes to make the Billboard charts, but do they have the fortitude to pass some of the most difficult tasks that some members of the military face during training? Fans will get a chance to find out, as the musicians are joining season four of Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. 'It was at this moment I said… 'I should've just done The Masked Singer,'' Smollett joked in his Instagram post sharing the news of his casting.

In addition to the former Empire star, whose conviction for allegedly staging a racist and homophobic attack on himself was overturned in 2024, and the country singer, who finished in 10th place on season 31 of Dancing With the Stars, a host of reality TV stars as well as athletes and other personalities will put their abilities to the test, this time in Morocco and led by a team of ex-special forces members. Among the 18 contestants are Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia, whose split from country star Zach Bryan in 2024 made headlines; Vanderpump Rules and The Valley's Brittany Cartwright; Sister Wives star Kody Brown; Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East; present and former NFL players Randall Cobb, Eric Decker (who is married to Jessie James Decker), Andrew East (married to Shawn Johnson East) and Johnny Manziel; soccer star Christie Pearce Rampone; model Chanel Iman and more.

Season two saw JoJo Siwa and Vanderpump Rules star and Most Extras cover band frontman Tom Sandoval attempt the course. The third season did not feature any musicians. None of the musician contestants passed the Special Forces training course. Season four is set to kick off on Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. on Fox. It will also stream the next day on Hulu.

Chase Daniel breaks down training camp film of Broncos QB Bo Nix
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been honing his craft in preparation for the 2025 NFL season, and the experts are taking notice. Former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel recently attended Broncos training camp alongside The Athletic's Diana Russini, and he was pleasantly surprised with the progress Nix has shown from 2024 to now. "I'm telling you, Bo Nix looks excellent," Daniel said on his YouTube channel. "He's ready to make a huge jump into year two." In his eight-minute assessment of Nix, Daniel complimented Nix's quick footwork, crisp passes on both downfield and intermediate throws and his improved mechanics after working with throwing guru Tom House. For example, at one point while looking at a clip of Nix taking a dropback, Daniels remarked, "That's the quickest five-step drop you could possibly take." As a former quarterback himself, Daniel then took viewers through why he likes what he sees. "I like these type of drills; this is really cool. (It is) a little peek under the hood of how things are made in a perfect throw," said Daniel. Daniel reviewed about 10 throws from Nix, showing how his game has taken a dramatic step forward going into 2025. "I am bullish on the Denver Broncos," said Daniel. "I think they have everything they need." Fans will get their first look at Nix's growth when Denver takes on the San Francisco 49ers in their preseason opener on Saturday (view the full preseason schedule).
