If we want to see our people grow, we have to move them from the pews to the mission field. 🤝
Sharing the gospel is the greatest spiritual catalyst there is. It forces a believer to rely on the Spirit, trust the Word, and develop a heart like Jesus'.

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.

46,000 souls. One mission. Oscar and Wendy Ortiz are witnessing God do the impossible in one of Puerto Rico’s most spiritually dark regions.
The Strategy:
🏠 Send Relief: Repairing homes to open doors.
🗣️ Witnessing: Building relationships that lead to Christ.
🌱 Multiplication: A church plant that plants more churches.
This Week of Prayer, please pray for:
1️⃣ Send Relief teams to connect the Ortiz family to the lost.
2️⃣ New leaders to rise up within the Loíza church plant.
3️⃣ Open doors in nearby communities that have no gospel presence.

➡️ For years, they drove past that church…
Then one afternoon, Leon and Javon Every noticed something they hadn’t seen before:
A full parking lot.
People walking in.
Life where there used to be silence.
Curiosity made them turn in.
🙏 And that decision changed everything. | #WeekofPrayer
Only 0.7% of Montreal identifies as evangelical, yet Andrew Mark’s church plant has doubled in just two years.
How? ➡️ Friday night street evangelism. Bold gospel conversations. The power of the Holy Spirit.
Through the #AnnieArmstrong Easter Offering, you are part of every conversation on those Montreal sidewalks!
🙏 Help us respond to specific prayer requests from Andrew Mark: https://t.co/GHmmIwe910
Nearly 200 brand-new planters are gathered this week for Send Network Orientation.
Here’s what marked the first session:
• Planters praying over one another — and for other church plants across North America by name.
• Vibrant, whole-hearted worship.
• A clear challenge from Vance Pitman: press into your primary calling — intimacy with Jesus.
As you pray for North American missions, pray that God would move deeply in their hearts this week — and powerfully through their churches in the months ahead.

If you walked into church on Sunday and saw Will Buchanan behind the pulpit…
You’d never guess his past.

We are excited to announce that Will Basham, Lead Pastor at New Heights Church in Milton, is joining our Send Network West Virginia Team (North American Mission Board) as a Church Planting Catalyst! He will continue his role as the Lead Pastor at New Heights, and this simply continues his work in church planting and multiplication.
Will's official start date is March 1st, but he has already gotten started. He brings a wealth of church-planting knowledge and planter development to our team. Pray that God will bless his work.
We will have another announcement in the near future about adding to our team.

After yesterday’s disruption of worship services at our city missionary’s church in St. Paul (@citieschurch), we are continuing to pray for the church and are helping to meet some tangible needs they have right now.
Here is an updated statement from NAMB president, Kevin Ezell @kevezell
Most denominations have experienced a decline in church planting over the last 15 years. And still, Southern Baptists kept planting. 👇
🌎 Across North America, newer churches are disproportionately reaching people.
Recent analyses of SBC Annual Church Profile data by Lifeway Research show that congregations founded since 2000 are the most likely to be growing...
And the regions most likely to see growth in the past five years are the Northeast and the West – precisely where Southern Baptists have concentrated church-planting energy.
Southern Baptists have continued to plant churches in areas where lostness is high, and since 2010, have started more than 11,000 new churches!
In 2024, Southern Baptists added 964 total new congregations, including 767 church plants – an increase of nearly 18 percent year over year (see Baptist Press and the NAMB Annual Ministry Report).
🇨🇦 In Canada, the Canadian National Baptist Convention celebrated a record 38 new plants in 2023 and another record in 2024 with 55 plants (See NAMB 2024 in Review).
In the most recent year with available data, nearly a third – 29 percent – of all reported baptisms in states outside the South came from churches started since 2010.
The data tells a hopeful truth: evangelistic, multiplying churches in hard places are bearing fruit.
