Multiplying Churches News Today

The Northeast is known as a rough part of town. Its buildings are run down, the streets are narrow and full of potholes, and crime is common. It’s home to many different ethnic groups and many more languages. It’s the kind of place that might be especially hard for Missouri Baptists to reach, but there’s 22 church leaders in one room who are working to change that.

The Directors of Missions in Baptist associations gathered at the Baptist building March 29-30.  They heard reports from the MBC Multiplying Churches group and the North American Mission Board SEND Missouri team on the subject of church planting in Missouri.

“I love that verse in Revelation,” Pastor Eric Lawman of Open Heart Baptist Church, Columbia, said, “where the redeemed ... sing the new song that Christ has redeemed men from every tribe, tongue and nation on the face of the earth and made them to be one people.”
