Partners
in the Harvest
The Great Commission ...
Go therefore, and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the
Son and of the
Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all
things that I
have commanded you; and lo,
I am with you always,
even unto the end of the age. Amen
Matthew 28:19-20
In 1925, the Southern Baptist Convention established
the Cooperative Program. The Cooperative Program - CP Missions - enables all Southern Baptists to work together to support
missions efforts world-wide.
Through the International
Mission Board, Southern Baptists support 4,946 missionaries in 153 different countries. Your gifts and prayers resulted in
451,000 new believers baptized in 2000 outside of North America.
Southern Baptist's support of CP Missions allowed the North American Mission Board to send out 5,081 missionaries
last year and help start over 1,700 new churches. Approximately 415,000 people were baptized last year as a result of individual
Southern Baptists becoming Partners in the Harvest.
