Celebrating the Great Commission

Recently during a sermon, a Kenyan pastor talked of how some people proudly share their genealogy/family tree. He then asked, “Do you know your Christian genealogy? Have you ever thought that your family tree could begin with Jesus or with Paul?”

This week’s Lottie Moon Promotion, Celebrating the Great Commission, shares a few branches of one man’s “spiritual tree.” Celebrating the Great Commission shares the Lottie Moon story of Baptist Chapel, a church that celebrated its 8th anniversary last week. Celebrating the Great Commission shares how obediently carrying out the Great Commission leads to many Great Commission Stories!

Celebrating the Great Commission also shares how missionaries, Kenyan Baptists, and Southern Baptist Volunteers – including those that took part in the Greater Nairobi Evangelistic Effort of 1996 – are a continuing part of an incredible Great Commission Story. Celebrating the Great Commission shares of the great returns from the past investments (the prayers, service, and monies given to the Lottie Moon Offering and the Cooperative Program) of Southern Baptists who are committed to God’s multiplication plan – our Saviour’s Great Commission!

If you haven’t yet clicked into the blog, take time now to view the Lottie Moon story, Celebrating the Great Commission! And don’t miss a glimpse of Covered Dish Dinners at Kenyan Baptist Churches prepared with the fresh, really fresh chickens! Bert Yates
