What would it take to see the Great Commission fulfilled in our lifetime? That was the question a number of leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention considered beginning in 2006. After much prayer, study, and the eventual involvement of hundreds of Southern Baptists across the nation, they developed the GPS vision:
Every Believer Sharing, Every Person Hearing by 2020
GPS – God’s Plan for Sharing is a coordinated effort by the North American Mission Board to fulfill the Great Commission in North America by 2020. GPS will begin in 2010 with a national media blitz and materials being made available to all of our churches for distributions in neighborhoods.
The national media effort will include bill boards in Wichita. KNCSB will make yard banners and “Find it Here” evangelistic drop-in flyers available for every church. These materials need to be ordered soon, so if your church is planning to use this material, please let us know at the HOK office. Our order needs to be placed by November 16.
If you would like more information regarding GPS, please call Loren at the HOK office. Also, see Ken James Version article in the November Baptist Digest.
