Year-to-date contributions through the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) Cooperative Program (CP) are 1.64 percent below the same time frame last year, according to a news release from SBC Executive Committee President and Chief Executive Officer Morris H. Chapman.
As of Feb. 28, the year-to-date total of $83,896,187.33 for CP missions is $1,396,902.07 behind the $85,293,089.40 received at the end of February 2009.
Monthly CP receipts totaled $16,079,851.28 for February.
Month-to-month swings reflect a number of factors, but largely result from the timing of receipts from state conventions.
The end-of-month total represents money received by close of business on the last business day of each month.
For the SBC Cooperative Program Allocation Budget, the year-to-date total of $83,896,187.33 is 98.52 percent of the $85,160,663.60 budgeted to support Southern Baptist ministries globally and across North America. The SBC operates on an Oct. 1-Sept. 30 fiscal year.
The CP is Southern Baptists’ method of supporting missions and ministry efforts of state conventions and the Southern Baptist Convention. (BP)
