Meeting Goals

In just a few weeks now, June 13-14, the Southern Baptist Convention will convene in Orlando, Fla. This year’s convention theme is “Partners in the Worldwide Harvest” and will provide our churches and messengers with the greatest insight into what is happening in the international mission scene that has ever been provided to audiences on this side of the great oceanic divides.

In addition to this wonderful experience, we are asking each church to consider the possibility of electing one interested spiritually-minded teenager as a messenger to this year’s convention in an effort to begin the passing of the torch to a younger generation. We are asking God that the number of churches represented at the convention through their messengers this year might actually double over last year’s participation.

Therefore, please plan to ask your church if you can be a messenger now. We will see you in Orlando with the world on our hearts and the hope of Christ held before us.
