The schedule included a 10 a.m. stop at Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Charlotte and a 6 p.m. stop at First Baptist Church in Spartanburg.
Yesterday’s launch of the bus tour began at First Baptist Church in Daytona Beach, Fla., where Welch is pastor, and included a 6 p.m. stop at First Baptist Church in Richmond Hill, Ga.
