The Future of the Cooperative Program

Sam Rainer

Ed Stetzer recently interviewed Ronnie Floyd, Tanner Turley, and me about the Cooperative Program. This program is the funding mechanism for missions in the Southern Baptist Convention, the denomination to which I belong. I realize many of my readers may not be in my denomination, but this way of funding missions is important for God’s kingdom. Almost $15B has been raised for missions since the beginning of this program in 1925, and over $500M has been raised for missions in each of the last few years. So even though you may not be part of my denomination, take a moment to watch the below videos to learn more about the future direction and philosophy of this method of funding missions.
