An Important Issue for the GCR Task Force: More Dollars for International Missions

July 23, 2009 by Todd Benkert

As our readers should now be aware, following a decisive vote at the annual Convention meeting, SBC president Johnny Hunt has appointed a Great Commission Task force to study how Southern Baptists can work "more faithfully and effectively together in serving Christ through the Great Commission." That task force will begin meeting next month. Of the number of particular issues that can be subsumed under such a study, one is of great interest and importance to me.
