The Lottie Moon Offering goal for the 2017/2018 fiscal year is $153 million. As of the end of August, that goal was met. The fiscal year doesn’t end until Sept 30. Grateful for the generosity of Southern Baptists!

There are over 40,000 churches in the SBC. However, more 80% of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is given by just 5000 churches.

Incredibly excited that my friend Adam W. Greenway is now officially the President of Southwestern Seminary. These are good days for Southern Baptists.

The African Baptist Theological Education Network just voted itself into formal existence. Praise God for His grace on this group!
