“Evangelism is at the heart of everything we do and drives our church planting and compassion ministry strategy,” said NAMB President Kevin Ezell. “It’s all about the gospel at the North American Mission Board.”
Crossover, the cooperative outreach initiative that takes place ahead of annual meeting in Birmingham, Ala., will kick off on Wednesday, June 5 with a rally and training hosted by Johnny Hunt at The Church at Brook Hills. The Alabama Baptist Convention, local associations and churches will be mobilizing teams to go door-to-door on Saturday, June 8. (See related story.)
On Monday, June 10, NAMB will host its annual Send Luncheon in the concert hall at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex at 11:45 a.m.
“The main reason for our luncheon is to thank and encourage pastors,” Ezell said. “We hope they will walk away feeling blessed and appreciated.”
Attendance is free, but registration is required. Visit namb.net/events/send-luncheon-2019/ to register.
NAMB’s annual report to messengers at the annual meeting will take place on Tuesday morning, June 11. Ezell will share updates from NAMB’s evangelism and leadership ministry since the addition of Hunt as senior vice president. He will also report on the progress made by Send Network and Send Relief in the areas of church planting and compassion ministry.
