This morning I leave to go to Little Rock to speak at the Arkansas Baptist State Convention Evangelism Conference. It is being held at the First Baptist Church in Sherwood, Arkansas. I am scheduled to preach at 2:15 p.m. Please pray for me as I preach at this very important annual meeting. It is attended mostly by pastors, but is a significant gathering due to it being attended by leaders concentrating on winning others to Christ.

<strong>As soon as I complete that preaching assignment, I depart for San Antonio for our Great Commission Resurgence meetings. These meetings are our most significant meetings thus far in this challenging task. We will continue in our process of working through how our convention of 50,000 churches and congregations can more faithfully and effectively fulfill the Great Commission.

If Southern Baptist churches are going to embrace the vision of presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ to every person in the world and make disciples of all the nations, we will have to change the way we do some things. This is what Southern Baptists say they desire to do; therefore, we are working through a lot of matters that will help us do this more successively. As Christ-followers, how can we not embrace this biblical and worthy vision? I believe we will, but for us to move to that point, we have many difficult decisions that must be made. Please friends, pray for us like never before.

Our “21 Day Journey With God” in prayer and fasting concluded last night at sunset. God has shared many things with me in this season and I trust He has done the same with you. In this season set aside to pursue God, our God has been faithful to us. I am so very grateful.

Thanks to each of you who set aside these days for some very concentrated time with God. Now as we continue in our walk with Christ, you will see God bring into reality in days to come, many of those requests you laid before Him humbly. May His power be made known in and through our lives like never before.

Call upon others to join us in prayer for this week of Great Commission Resurgence meetings in San Antonio.
