“God’s heartbeat for the nations that we see in the Great Commission is not something that we can pick or not pick among a smorgasbord of good things to do in a church,” @JTodd of @IMB_SBC said. “It’s an imperative.” @SWBTS

When you think of Europe, do you think of missions?
Only about 1% of the people living in Europe are evangelical Christians.
Each red dot represents 50,000 people who still need the hope of Christ.
📍 Pause on one red dot today. Pray for the people it represents.

This is why this kind of Christian Nationalism has no place in the Southern Baptist Convention. It's not just about contradicting Article VII of the BF&M; it's about contradicting the core purpose of the Convention.

Tonight Uzbekistan plays in the World Cup for the very first time.
90% Muslim. Less than 2% Evangelical. 588 dying daily without Christ.
Tonight the world is watching. The question is whether the church is praying.

Augustine on tongues.
"Therefore, since also now he [the Holy Spirit] is received, someone might ask, Why does no one speak in the languages of all nations?
Because now the Church herself speaks in the languages of all nations. Before the Church was in one nation, when it was speaking in the languages of all.
By speaking in the languages of all it signified the future, that, by growing through the nations, it might speak in the languages of all."
- Augustine, Tractate on John 32.2.

In Germany, people from many nations have come seeking safety and new opportunities, especially across the Rhine-Ruhr region.
Pray for diaspora communities: for welcoming churches, new believers rooted in fellowship, and growing teams who can share the hope of Jesus with love.
