In an exclusive interview for the Baptist Convention of Iowa, Tim Lubinus, our Executive Director, engages in an Iowa-specific discussion with Kevin Ezell, President of the North American Mission Board (NAMB). This conversation provides an in-depth look into the cooperation and effectiveness of gospel-centered church planting and relief that have defined NAMB’s ministry over the past year.
This Year’s Highlight: High Quality Church Planters
A focal point of the interview with President Ezell was the recognition of the high quality of character and giftedness exhibited by NAMB’s church planters. Church planters who are healthy and effective are essential to the success of NAMB’s mission, planting thriving churches throughout North America.
BCI Churches Have a Role in NAMB Initiatives
President Ezell expresses profound gratitude for the partnership of BCI churches through Cooperative Program giving and other direct support of church planting efforts in Iowa. A portion of all BCI Cooperative Giving goes toward sustaining NAMB’s initiatives, notably in church planting through the Send Network and disaster relief endeavors through Send Relief. President Ezell also noted how Iowa has been a leader in collegiate church planting through the Salt Company and other college ministries.
How Can Your Church Engage with NAMB?
President Ezell also shared the many strategic ways that individual churches can engage with NAMB. From financial support to active participation on specific projects, the interview underscores NAMB’s commitment to fostering a cooperative approach and invites BCI churches to engage in church planting through a partnership with NAMB.
