3,000-plus churches embrace Acts 1:8
Posted on Apr 30, 2007 | by Mickey NoahALPHARETTA, Ga. (BP)--More than 3,000 Southern Baptist churches have registered commitments to develop an intentional and comprehensive missions strategy through the Acts 1:8 Challenge.
Launched in May 2004 by the International Mission Board and North American Mission Board in cooperation with Baptist state conventions and associations, the Acts 1:8 Challenge is designed to encourage SBC churches to take a fresh look at how they plan and execute their missions efforts.
"It's a testimony to the passion that Southern Baptists have for Jesus' Acts 1:8 mandate to impact lostness and create disciples of all nations that in less than three years, 3,019 churches across the United States and Canada have embraced the challenge," said Tim Yarbrough, director of church relations at NAMB.
