Will You Help Develop A New Missions Strategy?

The vast majority of people I have talked to agree that the current process of getting Independent Baptist missionaries to the foreign field is not working as effectively and efficiently as it can and should.  There are a few naysayers, but that is to be expected whenever the status quo is challenged.  The arguments have already been made for the need to change this process. (If you are new to the discussion you can read the other missions articles here: Why Independent Baptist Missions Is Failing, Missions: Dare I Use The Word Cooperate?, Missions Articles Recap.)

The time has come to put our heads together and develop a new missions strategy.  Your input is needed!  Will you help?

We are putting together a panel of missionaries, missions board directors, educators, and pastors to help in this effort.  Our first informal meeting will be in Hendersonville, TN in April.  (Even if you don’t think you can attend this meeting, your input is still needed.) More information about this will be available soon.  The panel has already begun to form.  So far there several pastors, missionaries, and mission board directors who are interested in being involved in helping develop a new missions strategy.  Once this panel is established a website will be created to help facilitate ongoing discussions.

The goal is to do all we can to develop a missions strategy that expedites or changes the deputation process so that less time, effort, & resources are wasted in getting missionaries to the field; all with the goal of telling even more people about the Good News of Christ.

If you are interested in being a part of this discussion, and ultimately a part of the solution, please complete the form below.   We will be in contact with you in the near future concerning topics of discussion as well as possible meeting dates.
