NAMB to boost church planters’ retirement accounts

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The North American Mission Board (NAMB) is providing a one-time deposit of $1,200 into the retirement accounts of Southern Baptist church planters who have joined its Send North America Support Network. NAMB will provide a one-time contribution to planters who are five years or less into the process and who have joined its network by Oct. 31.

“Because of the faithfulness of Southern Baptists, we are able to bless our missionaries in this way,” said Kevin Ezell, NAMB’s president. “It is a small amount, but we hope this will help get many of them started toward setting aside money for retirement — even though for many that is a distant thought.”

Micah Millican, director of church planter relations for NAMB, said, “We want planters to develop the discipline of investing in their financial future. We’re not just interested in their success over the next five years but over the next five decades of ministry.”
