The Thought Occurred To Me
As far back as I can remember the Cooperative Program (CP) has been synonymous with Southern Baptists. CP has separated us from other mission sending organizations in that our churches contribute a percentage or dollar amount of their offerings to support national and world missions. The genius is churches contributing collectively to support this massive mission movement. I have always heard it said.”We are stronger together than what any individual church can do independently.” I believe that to be true.
God’s Plan For Sharing
“We are getting ready for Easter!” is the proclamation I hear from churches across Nebraska and Kansas. In just eleven weeks Easter will be behind us. It is my hope that many will have had the opportunity to hear a clear and persuasive message in a welcoming atmosphere in our churches.
