…in the churches this year. Anecdotal evidence here but I’m hearing of healthy increases in some churches. My church did much better.
This is the SBC’s oldest and best mission offering. Whatever is askew in our convention doesn’t diminish the need for a global strategy for missions where resident workers who are immersed in the culture and speak the language share the Gospel.
I think, overall, Southern Baptists understand this and give faithfully and often sacrificially. There have been years when the LMCO jumped $20 million from the previous year. Not sure where we will be when the total is reported late this year. I think the $200 million barrier will be broken in a few years.
How is your church doing?
