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]

On GCR Myths (And Those Who Spread Them)

Oct 29th, 2009 by Nathan Finn

In recent days Danny Akin and now Ronnie Floyd have addressed what they believe to be myths about the Great Commission Resurgence, or at least the work of the GCR Task Force.  A few bloggers and at least one state paper editor have responded. A common theme in these responses is that the blogger or other interlocutor claims he has not heretofore heard of the myth. Some have asked for evidence of the myth in either hard print or in the … [Read More]

Myth #3: The Great Commission Resurgence Task Force is attempting to influence and even control the search committee process at the Executive Committee, the IMB and NAMB.

Oct 13th, 2009 by Daniel Akin

Conspiracy theories are usually entertaining.  And, they often contain a modicum of truth, but not much more.  I believe this is the case with this myth as well.  The GCRTF has watched, as have most Southern Baptists, with great interest the events that have unfolded in recent months (and days!) at NAMB, IMB and the Executive Committee.  It would be dishonest to say we did not anticipate or see some of these things coming (others … [Read More]

The Prayer Call of 1784

Aug 5th, 2009 by Nathan Finn

We Baptists love to talk about the role that the English Particular Baptists of the 18th century, especially Andrew Fuller and William Carey, played in launching the modern missions movement in the English-speaking world. That movement is often said to begin in 1792 with the formation of the Particular Baptist Missionary Society, which sent Carey and John Thomas to India the following year. But that’s not the full story. Before there was a “Great Commission … [Read More]

PRAY4GCR includes a list of all the Task Force members, explanations of the history and main principles of the GCR movement, and prayer updates. It also has a section where you can sign … [Read More]
