Yesterday the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Orlando, Flordia passed by a wide margin a new strategy for the denomination. The recommendations of the Great Commission Task Force were approved with language inserted to strengthen support for the Cooperative Program. I believe it is a great NEXT step to great missional effectiveness. Going forward the most critical aspect of the recommendations is the redesign of the North American Mission Board (NAMB)and its relationship with state conventions. I pray that the NAMB trustees find the right leader and then allow him to be part of the redesign for that mission organization.
In other positive news at the SBC was the election of Bryant Wright, pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in metro Atlanta as the new SBC president. Bryant represents a new wave of leadership for the SBC and I believe this to be a very positive development. He deserves our support and prayer.
Now we must continue to keep our focus on making disciples.
