Our Missions

Partners in the Harvest

 

The Great Commission --

Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age. Amen (Matt. 28:19-20, NKJ).

In 1925, Southern Baptists established the Cooperative Program. The Cooperative Program - CP Missions - enables us to work together to support missions efforts world-wide.

Through the International Mission Board, Western Meadows' and Southern Baptist's support 4,946 missionaries in 153 different countries. Your gifts and prayers resulted in 451,000 new believers baptized in 2000 outside of North America.

Western Meadows' and Southern Baptist's support of CP Missions allowed the North American Mission Board to send out 5,081 missionaries last year and help start over 1,700 new churches. Approximately 415,000 people were baptized last year as a result of individual Southern Baptists becoming Partners in the Harvest.

We give through the SBC World Hunger & Relief Ministries.  Since 1974, the Human Needs Office (now the World Hunger & Relief Ministries) has been assisting missionaries as they meet the needs of many throughout the world. More than $171 million has been provided to field personnel who have implemented more than 5,600 projects. This averages out to 206 projects being funded each year, expending an average of approximately $6.3 million annually.
