For nearly 85 years now, the Cooperative Program has helped Southern Baptists send missionaries all over the world to share the Gospel in fulfillment of the Great Commission.

Line Between Local and Global Missions Fading Fast

International Mission Board President Jerry Rankin wrote recently about how Christ’s command to reach the world in Acts 1:8 is not intended to be understood as meaning that we are only to reach out to the world after we have reached our local communities, state and nation. We are to be reaching out in all [...]

Associations Are Vital Great Commission Partners
October 13th, 2009 · No Comments · All Posts, International missions, Kentucky Baptist Convention, Kentucky missions, North American missions
As Southern Baptists have focused on fulfilling the Great Commission, the discussion has largely centered on the work of our two mission boards — the International Mission Board and North American Mission Board. I’ve also shared quite a bit about how the Kentucky Baptist Convention is engaging in missions both across the street and around [...]

Designated gifts are wonderful things. Just ask any pastor who has experienced the joy of having someone in his congregation share that they want to make a special donation to buy the new piano needed in the sanctuary, make the lead gift to get the church’s capital campaign off the ground or make up the [...]

Partnership Missions Goes to ‘All the World’
October 1st, 2009 · No Comments · All Posts, International missions, Kentucky Baptist Convention
Sometimes we have a tendency to think that state conventions minister only in their states or that the International Mission Board ministers only overseas in far away lands. The reality though is that both organizations minister both at home and around the world. A prime example of this shows up in partnership missions. The Kentucky [...]

In Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series, I’ve focused on how similar the rhetoric surrounding the Great Commission Resurgence today is to the rhetoric regarding the newly formed Cooperative Program in the mid 1920s. In this final post in this series, I think you’ll see this to an even greater extent [...]

Idea of Merging Mission Boards Nothing New
August 24th, 2009 · No Comments · All Posts, Baptist History, Great Commission Task Force, International missions, North American missions, Southern Baptist Convention
One of the ideas floated as part of the Great Commission Resurgence discussion is that of merging the North American Mission Board and International Mission Board into a single missions organization. I don’t know if the idea will gain any traction but it’s interesting to note that according to a recent article in the Biblical [...]

Today I’m excited to share a guest post from the Kentucky Baptist Convention’s Partnership Missions director, Scott Pittman. Scott’s current ministry is a great example of the partnership between the local church, state convention and national Southern Baptist entities in seeking to fulfill the Great Commission. In fact, the very fact that he is even [...]

What is Your Definition of Missions?
August 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · All Posts, Cooperative Program, International missions, Kentucky Baptist Convention, Kentucky Baptist entities, Kentucky missions, Southern Baptist Convention
Much of the Great Commission Resurgence discussion these days seems to revolve — at least from a funding standpoint — around the topic of mission priorities. Southern Baptists are legitimately asking, “How can we make sure that the dollars we put in the offering plate do the utmost good in fulfilling the Great Commission?” Most [...]

Kentucky CP Giving…The Rest of the Story

As we think about how Southern Baptists financially support various missions and ministry endeavors on a state, national and international basis, our thoughts immediately go to the Cooperative Program. And rightly so. The Cooperative Program is the single biggest funding source in Baptist life, with many Baptist entities depending on it for at least a portion of [...]
