Last week 330 participants representing 76 countries met in Asia for the first Global Senders Forum!
National Baptist leaders, heads of conventions, seminary presidents and agency directors joined IMB missionaries and national partners to discuss the growth of their unity in fulfilling the Great Commission.
“This meeting is a historical first for us. Never in our 179-year history have we convened a meeting of leaders representing more than one-third of the countries on the planet to impact lostness together.” — Paul Chitwood, President of IMB
Many of the visiting Baptists can trace their Christian roots to the missionary efforts of Southern Baptists. Today they are owning the strategies for not only reaching their own people groups but sending missionaries to other nations.
The event ended with a time of commitment. 59 organizations submitted written commitments, with some having specific resolutions to send more missionaries. One collective result was a commitment of 1,056 new missionaries over the next 10 years.
