In his report to Southern Baptists gathered in New Orleans, North American Mission Board President Kevin Ezell emphasized that the missions entity will continue to report numbers that accurately reflect the reality of church planting in North America. He also affirmed NAMB’s continued commitment to support church planters, to resource churches for evangelism in their communities and to provide humanitarian aid and the hope of the gospel through Send Relief.
“We don’t do it alone,” Ezell told messengers in New Orleans. To illustrate his point, during his report and presentation, Ezell was joined by people serving through NAMB initiatives. He also thanked Southern Baptists for faithfully giving to support missions in North America.
“The commitments you and your churches make in the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering make it all possible,” Ezell said. Since 2010, he said, giving to the annual offering for North American missions is up 27%, and NAMB has seen record giving six out of the last seven years.
“Every dollar you give goes straight to our missionaries on the mission field,” Ezell said. “We’re grateful for the sacrifices that you’ve made and the generosity that you’ve shown.”
