This blog is for the purpose of creating conversation space regarding the  Great Commission itself as it applies to Kentucky Baptist life and sharing the stories of how Kentucky Baptists are involved in sharing the Good News. We’ll examine how Kentucky Baptists are presently at work in seeking to effectively share the Gospel, explore ways to do things better and, in general, see what the Lord might show us all as we focus our attention on our missions.

The bloggers are four staff members from the Kentucky Baptist Convention Mission Board:

Eric Allen, Mission Service and Ministries director

Eric brings more than 20 years of ministerial experience to his position. He desires to see believers reach their full potential by answering God’s call to use their spiritual gifts and talents in mission service. Eric wants to make a difference in Kentucky by encouraging and equipping churches to share the gospel in word and action through community outreach ministries. He also gives leadership to Supervision Training, Hunger Funds distribution, and Prayer Strategies.
