Great Commission Resurgence Taskforce Report: Charting A Future Path For Southern Baptists for the Glory of God

Mar 5th, 2010 by Daniel Akin

The interim report of the GCRTF has already generated much excitement and many conversations. This is good and healthy. The Taskforce hoped its report would excite Southern Baptists, and it seems clear it has. It is also the case that the Taskforce wanted to hear from our people and receive their feedback. That also is taking place and we rejoice in this. Our prayer all along has been that the work of the Taskforce would … [Read More]

What Does It Mean To Be Missional?

Feb 26th, 2010 by administrator

English-speaking Christians, including many Southern Baptists, have increasingly used the word missional in recent years. This adjective has been used to describe individual believers, local churches, the church universal, and even God himself. The term has also elicted much controversy, in part because there is such a wide variety of churches and thinkers who embrace the missional label. Some Southern Baptists have been very hesitant to use the term, while others have unashamedly owned it, … [Read More]

When Words Aren’t Enough: A Report from the Field, Part 1

Feb 2nd, 2010 by David Nelson

For much of the month of January, a colleague and I have been in an international setting serving with overseas workers. We have worked together daily in an educational context, and I have been reminded continually of the significance of the Great Commission. To say I am impressed by the workers of our mission board is an understatement, but I don’t want to embarrass my friends by being overly effusive about their labors. None of … [Read More]

Dec 21st, 2009 by Daniel Akin

Aspect 2: A Mission Based Upon God’s Mission

Nov 2nd, 2009 by Bruce Ashford

(By: Danny Akin & Bruce Ashford)
Scripture and mission go hand in hand. Baptists have missional convictions because they are a people of the Book.[1] Our network of churches possesses a missional DNA. History informs us that the majority of the early Baptist networks arose from a need for interchurch cooperation in missional endeavors and that the SBC is no exception since cooperation in missions has been her raison d’etre from the very beginning.
In the following … [Read More]

Myth #6: Many members of the GCRTF are fundamentally opposed to the work of local associations and state conventions.

Oct 23rd, 2009 by Daniel Akin

            The GCR has always been about energizing and mobilizing Southern Baptists to get the gospel to the unreached peoples of the world and the underserved regions of North America, and to do so as effectively and efficiently as possible.  Nothing more and nothing less is the goal and agenda of this movement.  If something stands in the way or hinders this then it needs to change or be set aside as unhelpful and unnecessary to … [Read More]
