As a result of these efforts in His name, over 1,300 people came to know Christ as their personal Savior. 336 received Christ through the Block Parties, 37 through door-to-door contacts, 694 came to a saving knowledge of our Lord through the ICE teams four-day, inner city effort, 186 were reached through personal contacts with individual messengers, and 95 accepted Christ through the Evangelism Response Center phone contacts.

Praise Jesus for a plentiful harvest of 1,348 souls for the Kingdom! In addition to this, 175 prospects were discovered for the local churches. Our sincere thanks to all who prayed, shared Christ, and encouraged those who were on the front lines.

SBC 2000 Annual Meeting

In the year 2000, the Cooperative Program marks its 75th Anniversary, and a national emphasis is underway to celebrate this historic event. Partners in the Harvest is, first of all, a celebration, recognizing the Cooperative Program's history and accomplishments, and the men and women who have taken the message of salvation to a lost world.

But perhaps more importantly, Partners in the Harvest casts a new vision for Southern Baptist missions. As we enter the 21st century, the need for missions has never been more acute, the opportunity never greater. With all of our evangelistic emphasis, there are still millions who have never heard the name of Jesus. To help meet this critical need, we have launched what could be the greatest missions effort in Southern Baptist history: Partners in the Harvest. We need your help, your prayers, your financial support, but most of all, we need your commitment to lead your church in this important endeavor.

SBC 1999 Annual Meeting

Southern Baptists began intensified efforts to strengthen their unified muscle -- the Cooperative Program -- and to use it in an invigorated way to reach people who have not heard the gospel not only abroad but also in the nation's mega-cities, as they met June 15-16 in Atlanta.

Also of significant interest to Baptists at this year's annual meeting -- the 142nd in the SBC's 154-year history -- is the OK given by messengers to a study of the convention's statement of beliefs, the Baptist Faith and Message, a 1963 document expanded last year with an article on the family.
