NASHVILLE — Year-to-date contributions to Southern Baptist national and international missions and ministries received by the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) Executive Committee (EC) are 6.5 percent above the year-to-date SBC Cooperative Program (CP) Allocation Budget projection, and are 3.09 percent above contributions received during the same time frame in 2015, according to a news release from EC President and CEO Frank S. Page.
“This report marks the second successive year that CP contributions have increased over the previous fiscal year’s mid-point and is the highest mid-year total since March 2010,” Page said. “We are surrounded by huge pockets of lostness across our nation and around the world. We praise the Lord for this continued rebound in support of our joint ministries through the Cooperative Program.”
The $99,315,836.09 received by EC for the first six months of the fiscal year, Oct. 1 through March 31, represents 106.50 percent of the $93,250,000 year-to-date budgeted projection to support Southern Baptist ministries globally and across North America.
The total is $2,978,751.71 or 3.09 percent more than the $96,337,084.38 received through the end of March 2015.
