Today, we are celebrating a profound legacy: 250 years of religious freedom that has allowed the Church to openly and boldly make Jesus known across the United States. 🇺🇸
Let’s continue to use our freedom to do what matters most: sharing the gospel everywhere with everyone! 🙌
Compassion ministry is where the gospel shows up with its hands and feet.
In 2025, @SendRelief worked with 1,931 churches across North America and Puerto Rico.
Over 44,000 volunteers served 200,000+ people — and 84,000+ of those people heard the gospel as a direct result. | #SBC26
Here’s more news worth celebrating: for the first time in 75 years, Southern Baptist churches reported five consecutive years of baptism growth!
That’s the highest number of baptisms since 2017.
Pastors, that is because of you. You kept the main thing the main thing. | #SBC26
From lost to saved to sent, in less than two years.
A local church reached Noemi and now Noemi is helping a local church reach the next person. This cycle is what your giving makes possible! | #SBC26
Moments from another incredible day at #SBC26! 🙌
We love spending time with pastors, missionaries, and faithful church members who are focused on the mission to make Jesus known.

The 2025 baptism report in Florida is a testament to what happens when we prioritize a Culture of Evangelism. 🙌
By training local pastors and planting 69 new Send Network churches, the foundation was laid for a historic year of life change.
Next stop: Orlando. 📍
We believe Crossover 2026 will be a catalyst for even more gospel impact.
Across North America, local churches are doing more than just meeting goals—they are exceeding them to ensure the gospel reaches every neighborhood! 🙌 🎉
From Tennessee to Virginia to Texas, these congregations are the fuel behind our 3,000+ missionaries on the field.
When your church gives to the #AnnieArmstrong Easter Offering, 100% of your gift goes directly to the field to support church planting and compassion ministry. ⛪️

Linny Fenton wasn’t famous.
Her church wasn’t big.
But her faithfulness shaped a young pastor who would one day serve as President of the North American Mission Board.
Forty years later, he still sees every Annie Armstrong gift through her eyes.
Because every gift matters.
Every sacrifice is seen.
Every dollar helps send hope.
Ms. Finny may not be a household name.
But to Kevin Ezell — and to the mission — she was his Annie Armstrong. 🙌
Arkansas Baptists continue to make a HUGE impact on North American missionaries through the #AnnieArmstrong Easter Offering! 🙌
We are so grateful for the leadership of @markdance and pastors across the state of Arkansas.
When people run from God they aren’t just REJECTING Him, they are also REPLACING Him.
Everyone worships something/somebody.
Thankfully, He doesn’t run from you.
Unchurched for 35 years ➡️ Married, Saved, and Baptized.
Leon and Javon’s story is a “God-sized” win for a replanted congregation, Cross Community Church. Along with 7 of their kids and grandkids, they are showing Marrero, Louisiana, that Jesus changes everything!
This #WeekofPrayer, join us in asking God for:
1️⃣ The rest of Leon and Javon’s family to meet Jesus.
2️⃣ More unchurched families to find a home at Cross Community.
3️⃣ Continued favor for Troy and Chanel Gause as they lead.
❗They were weeks away from locking the doors.
For good.
And then… they hired a guy to mow the grass.
They had no idea that the man driving that mower was the beginning of a miracle. | #WeekofPrayer
81 baptisms.
One campus.
One year.
Jordan and Jessamy Adams didn’t just plant a church in West Lafayette — they planted it in the middle of thousands of students searching for identity, purpose, and truth. 🙌
If you’ve ever wondered what revival looks like on a college campus…
Press play and watch what God is doing. | #WeekofPrayer
Jordan and Jessamy planted The Chapel in West Lafayette, IN. The church baptized 81 college students
in its first year! Your generosity is more than a gift; it fuels life-change beyond Florida.
