NASHVILLE — Year-to-date contributions to Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) national and international missions and ministries received by the SBC Executive Committee (EC) are 3.06 percent above the year-to-date budgeted projection. However, the gifts are 0.36 percent below contributions received during the same time frame last year, according to a news release from D. August Boto, SBC EC interim president.
As of July 31 gifts received by the EC for distribution through the Cooperative Program Allocation Budget through the first 10 months of the SBC’s fiscal year totaled $164,899,754.63. This total is $4,899,754.63 above the $160 million year-to-date budgeted amount to support SBC ministries globally and across North America, and is $603,898.24 less than the $165,503,652.87 received through the end of July 2017. This year-to-year comparison is affected by a one-time $3.1 million gift from the Florida Baptist Convention in June 2017 following the sale of the state convention’s building. (BP)
