SBC Convention Day 2 Evening

SBC Convention Day 2 Evening

While walking around in the exhibit hall I stumbled up on a booth sponsored by the Evangelism Team of the Baptist General Convention of Texas. The new team leader, Jon Randles along with his wife Kelly, were greeting guests and speaking of great hopes for the BGCT.bgct I must say that this is the best news I have heard from the BGCT since the Amarillo Convention in 1994. Jon is a man who is passionate about souls and is well equipped and experienced in reaching the younger generations. His long time work with college students has been a model that others have sought to duplicate all over the US. His optimistic and active spirit would encourage and lift others regardless of where he finds himself. May God bless Jon and may he find receptive hearts in the power circle within the BGCT.

The stats from the SBC Annual book of reports show that it takes 35 BGCT Baptist to win one soul. The same book reports show that it takes 28 SBTC Baptist to win a soul. Perhaps Jon can bring a renewed focus to souls in the BGCT. I am confident that Don Cass is successfully accomplishing that task among the SBTC.

These stats also reveal that while there are over three times as many BGCT churches as there are SBTC churches; the BGCT gave only 2 million more dollars to the cooperative program than did the SBTC.
