Louisville 2009

What a great Southern Baptist Convention with its increased number of messengers. We praise God for a wonderful time of fellowship, anointed preaching, and inspirational messages. One of the great take-aways from the Southern Baptist Convention for me was the renewed emphasis on theGreat Commission, and for that I am extremely grateful. As always, NAMB has a lot of additional meetings which occur before, during and after the Southern Baptist Convention. I was especially grateful for our Hispanic Fellowship meeting, which pulled together some of the most effective Hispanic ministry leaders in North America. One of the highlights for me was sitting and watching as the NAMB Church Planting and Evangelism Groups presented resource after resource that are now available in Spanish as well as English. Well done, team! At the North American African American Fellowship meeting, the spirit was tremendous and attendees were presented with my book on “God’s Plan for Sharing”. The highlight of this meeting was the fact that our own Dr. Ken Weathersby received their Friend of Pastor’s award, an inaugural award for a denominational leader who has shown excellence in assisting African American churches. Ken, we are proud of you. We call the SBC our Super Bowl here at NAMB as we get a chance every year to make our NAMB presentation, which was scheduled on Wednesday night this year.

SBC Louisville 2009: NAMB presentation & report
We were thrilled to see the large crowd who stayed on Wednesday night, and the numbers of standing ovations were too many to count. By the end, we were all on our feet joining hands and saying that we are about every believer sharing and every person hearing as Mandisa sang the refrain of her song about people of North America needing to hear ‘the voice of a Savior’. Southern Baptists love their missionaries and their mission boards. We are proud to serve them at NAMB.
