As a former HPU tennis player, I’m pumped about their new tennis center! Lead on Dr. Hines!👊🏼@HowardPaynePres @hputxtennis @HPUTX @HPUTXAlumni

What a great book to enjoy this week while on vacation!

For those who struggle to rest, this book is a great reminder of the necessity, blessing, and commandment to regularly “stop,” spend time with the Lord, and rejuvenate (even if you have to go to the beach 😀🙄). @markdance

[Mark Dance @markdance]

I hope you enjoy it Wes!

Thank you Dr Edmonson!

[Ron Edmondson @RonEdmondson]

Surround yourself with smarter people. That’s always been my philosophy. So it was neat to come back from vacation and see the two of my friends had sent me their newest book. These are gonna be great resources for pastors and the church. Pick yours up today. #MattRusten @markdance

[Mark Dance @markdance]

Thank you Dr. Hebert!

[Andrew Hébert @drandrewhebert]

You should read anything @markdance writes about ministry. Looking forward to reading his most recent book!

[Mark Dance @markdance]

Every pastor needs a pastor & every disciple-maker needs to be discipled. Tony has discipled/mentored me for the last dozen years. Likewise, I disciple a handful of younger pastors.

Discipleship is not complicated. Ask someone you respect to help you keep growing.

[IMB @IMB_SBC]

Because you give, IMB missionaries Landon and Megan Williams are planting churches and reaching the lost in Santiago, Chile.

Through your support of the Lottie Moon Offering and Cooperative Program year-round, the gospel is advancing from the city to remote islands.

The real SBC

[Lifeway Research @LifewayResearch]

Baptisms in Southern Baptist churches increased by nearly 5% to well over a quarter of a million, marking five consecutive years of growth and surpassing pre-COVID levels. https://t.co/HtBoxiNbet

[Paul Chitwood @DrPaulChitwood]

In addition to the 263k baptisms that SBC churches reported on the ACP, another 30k were baptized overseas through the ministry of their @IMB_SBC missionaries. Praise the Lord!

Pastor @Clay_Cunningham introduced me to Burger Shack in downtown Benton, which used to be a historic pharmacy & soda shop. Clay is my new best friend! @arkbaptists

This short, summer read will be available in June for anyone who is eager to break the cycle of exhaustion and burnout. @BHpub

[Mark Dance @markdance]

I was so blessed by the IMB staff & missionaries I met with this week!

[Paul Chitwood @DrPaulChitwood]

Great visit with state execs: @MikeyMewborn-Montana, @jwfowler128-@mobaptists, Ed Emmerling-Michigan, @FoshieScott-@IllinoisBaptist, @markdance-@arkbaptists. Thankful for sermon from @jwfowler128 & generous gift from @mobaptists to fund @IMB_SBC missionary housing renovations

[Mark Dance @markdance]

Privileged to preach at FBC, Clinton AR for the same price I charge all Arkansas Baptist churches. @MissionDignity

[Mark Dance @markdance]

Exhausted & exhilerated after spending 2 days in an Audible studio recording my upcoming book which launches in June at the SBC in Orlando & anywhere books are sold. @BHpub

[Philip Nation @philipnation]

The fruitful growth of a church is directly related to the faithful work of its members. There is no program or innovative strategy that automatically grows a church. Ministry and growth is a personal business done by people who are personally invested in people who need Jesus.

[Paul Chitwood @DrPaulChitwood]

Grateful for news from @Jeff_Iorg that @SBCExecComm will consider a budget that delivers on the promise to allocate 51% of @SBCCP to @IMB_SBC. That, along with another adjustment, will increase CP to IMB by approximately $1m and fully support 12 new missionaries to the nations!

“Regardless of whether your pastor prefers a lot of friends or only a few, all pastors need genuine friendships. In my opinion, isolation is Satan’s favorite anti-wellness scheme.” — @markdance https://t.co/qJjaqSOReD

[Paul Chitwood @DrPaulChitwood]

Grateful for presence, ministry & witness of
@citieschurch & Pastor @jonathanparnell shining gospel light in darkness of the Twin Cities. Praying for strength & courage.

John 3:20 on display yesterday: “everyone who does wicked things hates the light.”
