These missionary programs may be the best kept secrets in the Southern Baptist Convention!

Southern Baptists age 21 or older, who are emotionally, physically, spiritually and vocationally healthy ought to explore this opportunity to see if God could use them overseas. Just going through the process is a growing experience itself, even if you don't end up going overseas.

You don't have to sign up for life (career service) and you don't have to raise your own financial support (volunteers). The Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering ® provide the support needed to screen and send personnel all over the world! We have many strategic needs on our jobs list... where might you make a difference?

Why is it a secret? The IMB should be a Southern Baptist's first choice in exploring overseas service. There are many life-long Southern Baptist students who raise their own support and go overseas with other organizations, so maybe we are a secret! Understand that not all Southern Baptists will be approved to serve overseas with the IMB, but Southern Baptists ought to start here first. Help get the word out.

The Cooperative Program means missions in the SBC!

How can we get the word out? You can help us mobilize your church!

• Contact the IMB contact center and get materials to distribute to your church
• Help Southern Baptists understand the practical nature of the Cooperative Program and SBC missions opportunities.
• Inquire as to how to become an Acts 1:8 church
• Have program brochures about how Southern Baptists may go overseas as ISC, Journeymen or Masters missionaries.
• Order video materials like the Task (for students), Kids on Mission (for children) and Global Harvest (for adults) to keep the "news reel" in front of your church of what God is doing around the world.
