Every Southern Baptist sharing the Gospel October 14
What if every Southern Baptist would share the gospel with one person on Tuesday, October 14? Just think what could happen if you awakened on that day, spent time with God, and asked Him to empower you to share the gospel with one person that day. Then, with great intentionality, you sought after that opportunity, ready to see Him use you greatly. Learn more about this challenge at RonnieFloyd.com.

The mission continues Thank you for your support of the Mission Illinois Offering and Week of Prayer. However, just because the suggested September 14-21 offering and prayer dates have passed, doesn't mean our Illinois missionaries and church planters no longer need your support. Please continue to pray and give as you are able to missions in Illinois throughout the year. Visit IBSA.org/mio to learn more about this offering, 100% of which is used for missions in Illinois. |

For many churches, as long as the bills are being paid, lower attendance numbers don't matter as much. At the same time, though, most churches in North America are plateaued or in decline. Many of those churches have been in that state for years, if not decades-sometimes under the same leadership. Find our why churches don't act at ThomRainer.com.
