Sending Celebration of 22 missionaries

I can’t give names but

I can tall you that one family was already serving in Budapest, Hungary

and they knew Kalman and Julia Kovacs that we support already

The other is headed to South Asia

tell story of of how we met him

NC Baptist Executive Director-Treasurer Todd Unsicker

announced a new missions engagement initiative

aimed at helping churches live out the Great Commission.

IT’s called Missions Engagement

and is a four fold process including

strategizing, mobilizing, caring, and connecting.

This creates a much needed place for the NC Baptists

to place them between the International MIssion Board and

the NC BAptist Churches as a liason

and a connection to our NC Baptist Missionaries on the field

We reelected Allen Murray as President

I’m so grateful for his direction and knowledge.

His presidential address was essentially

in order to be on mission together

we need to be in prayer together first.

He said that prayer is no bookend for the Christian on mission

prayer is the mission

Other notable numbers are that

baptisms were up this year

We were the highest giving state to both Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong offerings

We are also the number one state in missionaries sent.
