Year-to-date contributions through the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) Cooperative Program (CP) are 3.19 percent below the same time frame last year, according to a news release from SBC Executive Committee President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Page.
As of Jan. 31, the year-to-date total of $65,652,460.17 for CP missions is $2,163,875.88 behind the $67,816,336.05 received at the end of January 2010.
Monthly Cooperative Program receipts totaled $18,048,545.27 while designated gifts received last month amounted to $25,394,055.82.
Month-to-month swings reflect a number of factors, including 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 CP Allocation Budget, the year-to-date total of $65,652,460.17 is 98.57 percent of the $66,607,363.39 budgeted to support Southern Baptist ministries globally and across North America.
The SBC operates on an Oct. 1–Sept. 30 fiscal year. (BP)
