Nashville SEND NORTH AMERICA Today
Today, I have the privilege to assist the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention with the vision called, SEND NORTH AMERICA. For the past two and a half years, I have served, helping mobilize churches to our SEND NORTH AMERICA vision. Monday night and Tuesday morning, we will be sharing this great vision with at least 175 churches that are joining us during this time.
What is SEND NORTH AMERICA?
SEND NORTH AMERICA is our national strategy to mobilize individuals and churches to get involved in hands-on church planting in 32 major cities and other areas throughout the continent. Cross Church is very committed to this vision and is supporting church planters and their efforts in several of these cities and other areas. We believe in planting new churches.
Why is SEND NORTH AMERICA Needed?
With a population of 313 million in America and another 34 million in Canada, we have 347 million people in North America. Research estimates that three out of four people on this continent do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Therefore, we must be intentional about revitalizing the churches we already have, and plant new gospel churches throughout North America.
How Can Your Church Participate in SEND NORTH AMERICA?
Let me share a few ways how you and your church can be involved:
1. Pray for God to raise up and call new church planters to go throughout North America
2. Pray for financial resources for SEND NORTH AMERICA.
- The more our churches give through the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention, the more monies can be used to reach North America and the entire World through all of our Great Commission ministries
- The more our churches give through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North America Missions, the more monies can be used to plant new gospel churches.
- The more churches that get involved directly in planting new churches, the more churches we can see planted for God’s glory.
3. Contact the North American Mission Board if you want to know more about SEND NORTH AMERICA. You may also contact the North American Mission Board at (888) 749-7479 or mobilizeme@namb.net.
Pray for us Monday night and Tuesday morning while we are in Nashville.
Yours for the Great Commission,
Ronnie W. Floyd
