Nate Adams Teaches Acts 1:8 at Korean Gathering

Nate Adams, author of the Acts 1:8 Challenge doctrine study, The Acts 1:8 Challenge: Empowering the Church To Be On Mission (available here through LifeWay), was one of the keynote speakers recently at the Council of Korean Southern Baptist Churches in America meeting in Houston, Texas.

Korean leaders sought to better understand their role in the Southern Baptist Convention and focused on the Acts 1:8 Challenge as a way to effectively reach the world for Jesus Christ. Here's an excerpt from the Baptist Press article:

"In other words, Korean pastors want to be an effective part of the Southern Baptist Convention and gather annually as the Council of Korean Southern Baptist Churches in America to hear in their own language and come to more completely understand what it is to be a Southern Baptist.

"How is this done? Nate Adams, executive director of the Illinois Baptist State Association, provides one answer. He spoke in English last year to the Korean gathering about the SBC's Acts 1:8 Challenge. In an hour-long presentation, Adams showed how Jesus' final command -– go into Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the world -– meshed with the organization of the SBC's associations, state conventions, North American Mission Board and International Mission Board. Adams provided a Korean-language manuscript of his talk so his listeners -– probably all of whom knew some English –- could in their primary language ponder his words in the days and weeks that followed."
