Georgia Exec: SBC needs NAMB, CP
Georgia Baptist Convention executive director J. Robert White called the North American Mission Board “absolutely essential" to Southern Baptists as a stand-alone entity and critical to reaching the continent for Christ, according to this Baptist Press report. "In cooperative agreements with 42 state Baptist conventions, NAMB works to support the effort of missionaries in language missions, resort missions and various other ministries that reach our nation for Jesus Christ. Those joint efforts are unique to NAMB" and are not shared by any other missions entity.

Who's Missing? Whose Mission?
IMB's 2009 theme is "Who's Missing? Whose Mission?" focusing on those still missing from God's family and our Great Commission call to reach them. Even after 2,000 years of Christian influence, more than 1.5 billion people are still missing out on the opportunity to hear the Gospel. Many of the world's people missing from God's family live in concentrated pockets of lostness. About 80 unreached people groups still have no contact with the outside world.

Marriage in the Midst
Selma and I were married seven years before our first child was born. I thought I knew my wife, but when children entered the picture, I realized there was a lot more “marrying” to be done.
Scripture says our children are a reward (Ps. 127), and ours have been a blessing. But the truth remains: Parenting presents challenges and opportunities for growth in the strongest marriage.

WORLD HUNGER: It's time to get personal
When will you get personal about hunger? If we take God's Word seriously, the malnourished and hungry are our problem. Hunger is no respecter of geography or ethnic group. It can be felt in an apartment in Eastern Europe, a cardboard shack in Central America, a tent in the Sahara, or a farmhouse in rural America. Southern Baptist missionaries and volunteers are offering nourishment for the body and soul. And every Southern Baptist can have a part in those ministries through gifts to the Southern Baptist World Hunger Fund.
