Southern Baptist churches will need 20,000 new worship leaders by 2040. This sobering statistic was shared at the SBC Worship Micro Conference at the SBC Annual Meeting in Orlando.

Number of @IMB_SBC missionary applicants just hit 1,668! Haven’t seen that many in the sending pipeline in nearly 20 years.
So grateful for pastors calling out the called, for confidence in IMB as a sending partner & the giving necessary to support a global missionary presence!
Note: I'm not saying that the statistics are the same for all of those fields. I'm just saying that in every case, tomorrow's leaders come out of today's pews.

@musicmankev@JustinPetersMin That’s my inference. They would not speak at all about the topic of others who hold Oneness theology back when the conversation took place. It’s possible either that what you’ve said is true or that they don’t really accept them but won’t say so publicly. I don’t know.
