⚠️The metro area of Berlin, NH, has more than 31,000 people, but only 18 evangelical churches.

⛰️These beautiful towns of New Hampshire’s “North Country” are family-oriented, blue-collar, and in need of missionary church planters.

📍Northern New Hampshire is only 4% evangelical Christian.
The harvest is ready.

What a joy—visiting a @sendnetwork church plant, and seeing God at work.
Encouraged by planters like Trevor Doles faithfully engaging the city with the gospel, making disciples. Grateful for Southern Baptist churches who give, pray, and send. @FloridaBaptists @SendNetworkFL

Use your passions, hobbies, and skills to engage your neighbors with the gospel!

That’s how Pastor Dennis is reaching people in Upstate New York — building friendships through mixed martial arts and pointing them to Jesus.

God is doing incredible things through Kingdom City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

We asked Pastor Steve, “What is the best church planting advice you have received?”

His answer reminds us that in a world obsessed with platforms, hype, and visibility, steady obedience still matters.

Week after week.
Conversation after conversation.
Prayer after prayer.

God works through faithful presence over time.

[Kevin Ezell @kevezell]

THANK YOU PASTORS. The Annie Armstrong offering is up over 14% from this same time last year. Humbled and grateful for your generosity and faithfulness to support missions.

From gang member to church planter.

Pastor Dennis, planting in Rochester, NY, was radically saved by God while in prison.

Now, he is using his new life in Christ to introduce people to a God who is not afraid of a wayward past!

Join us in praying for Drew and Taylor Raynor and the launch of Living Stone Church in Apex, North Carolina!

We asked Pastor Sam, “What has been the highlight of church planting?”

His answer shows us that there are few things more life-giving in a church planter’s journey than seeing those around them join in on the vision God has given them.

An amazing church-planting team and a church family that has truly bought in can make all the difference!

⚠️ Rexburg has 1 evangelical church for every 6,630 people

📈 Over 66,000 people in the metro area
📉 Less than 800 evangelicals
(Only 1.21% evangelical)

📍Rexburg is home to BYU–Idaho
with more than 20,000 students

This isn’t just another college town ⬇️
It’s one of the least evangelical metro areas in America

An incredible opportunity for gospel proclamation
and the magnetic joy of gospel culture

🙏 Pray with us that God raises up church-planting missionaries to send into the harvest!

Church planter, if your church can only function when you’re involved in every decision, it may be time to rethink how leadership is being developed.

Every believer has a role in the mission of God.
Some go across the street.
Some go across the world.
All are called to live sent.

“The question is no longer if we are called, only where and how. The call to follow him is the call to be sent and to send.” -J.D. Greear

God is moving across the Midwest! 🙌

Reports from Indiana to Michigan show the gospel is transforming lives, and the fruit of church planting is evident.

Covocational ministry isn’t a fallback plan or temporary season—it’s a long-term, missional approach to the work God is already doing in your community.

Northwest Connecticut is filled with:
• Historic New England towns
• Rural communities
• Scenic hills and farmland

Beautiful. Quiet.
And spiritually overlooked.

Many assume New England
already has churches everywhere

But historic church buildings ≠ gospel presence

- Northwest Connecticut -
⚠️ 1 evangelical church for every 4,307 people
📉 Nearly 60% claim no religion

This isn’t just about one city.
Northwest Connecticut is a network
of underserved towns.

🔑 Reaching one community can unlock an entire region!

💬 “If you plant in Northwest Connecticut, know this: you won’t plant alone.

“You’ll partner with healthy churches committed to helping you multiply gospel presence into underserved towns through strategic multiplication efforts across the region.”

-Riley Prather

LET’S CELEBRATE: Baptisms in the SBC have increased for the fifth consecutive year! 🙌

From the mountains of Colorado to the shores of Michigan and the wilderness of Alaska, the gospel is breaking through in a massive way. This growth is a direct result of churches refusing to stay comfortable and choosing to live sent. 🚀

“I am grateful for every pastor and every church that has made evangelism and discipleship a priority, and it is deeply encouraging to see baptisms increase for a fifth consecutive year. My prayer is that this momentum would not only continue but would deepen, drawing our entire family of churches into a renewed commitment to share the gospel faithfully and make disciples who follow Christ for a lifetime.” 🗣️ Kevin Ezell, president of the North American Mission Board

These Things Will Outlast Your Sermons ⬇️

1️⃣ People may forget your sermon points, but they will remember a pastor who walked in humility before the Lord.

2️⃣ They may forget the sermon you preached that Sunday, but they will remember the moments you made them feel seen and cared for.

3️⃣ Your sermons may fade, but the disciples you develop will carry the mission long after you are gone.

The most enduring sermon you will ever preach may not come from your pulpit at all.

What people will remember is the life that stood behind your sermons.

💡 Legacy Over Platform
