“Great Commission Connection”
As we present the 2009-2010 General Operating Budget, weare seeking to go “the second mile” above the budget in givingto missions. The Lord gave me a special burden months agoto develop a new plan which provides a unique connection tothe missionaries overseas, in North America, Florida, and thosewho equip them in the seminaries. As you may know, 6% of theGeneral Operating budget is allocated to the Southern BaptistCooperative Program and an additional 4% to other missioncauses. Thousands of dollars are raised in addition to that during the year for other missions causes.In October we will enlist at least 500 family units in our church to commit to along-term involvement with various missionaries. We will adopt an InternationalMission Board family, a North American Mission Board family, and a missionaryfrom the state Convention and/or a faculty member from the seminaries. Our peoplewill communicate through various ways as they get to know these individualsand families. They will pray for their concerns and utilize the latest in technologyto stay in touch. This gives a sense of ownership and relationship to missions. Itmeets the challenge which we have in the Southern Baptist Cooperative Programstructure of supporting the greatest mission movement in the history of the worldand also being connected personally. All of the mission boards are on board withthis program.Each family will make a yearly commitment to give at least $300 to an additionalCooperative Program fund beyond our existing budget item, in addition to their tithesand offerings to the church General Operating Budget, the building program, andother missions causes and special offerings. We are already developing a “piggy” bank for change. We cannot give directly to the missionaries but will give into our church to send to the Cooperative Program and it’s distribution process. Hopefully,“all boats will rise” in the ocean of missions. This added thrust will enable us to
recover lost ground during the recession and send more to the elds.
The key elements of this strategy include a lay champion and team from our church, the launching of the strategy at our Missions Conference in October, theenthusiastic cooperation of our denomination, and that “The God of Heaven willgive us success” (Nehemiah 2:20). Of course, more will be said later, but thisexplains the
