Missions champion Alma Hunt dies at 98

Remembering a lifetime of devotion to missions and missionaries... Alma Hunt once declared that “missions is what makes me get up in the morning.” Today IMB leaders and other Southern Baptists are mourning the loss of a giant among missions advocates. Hunt devoted her life to the advance of the Gospel and the support of missionaries, most notably serving as executive secretary of the Woman’s Missionary Union for 26 years. She died June 14 in Roanoke, Va., at age 98.

CrossOver '08 - Volunteers Lead Hundreds to Christ in Indianapolis

Now in its 20th year, Crossover is an annual outreach to share the Gospel in the host city the weekend before the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting. CrossOver '08 in Indianapolis saw approximately 500 volunteers lead 759 people to professions of faith in Christ just before the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting. Heavy rain, dangerous lightning, tornado warnings and, in some places, flooding buffeted metro Indianapolis during most of Crossover'08, but by afternoon the sun emerged and local and visiting Southern Baptists were out telling others about the Son.
