International Opportunity

I need weeks like this. Sometimes I get tunnel vision and revert to thinking it’s all about me and mine. Then comes times like this week when I worship, learn, and fellowship with global friends. As you read this week’s Memo, I will be teaching two hours each morning at the Summer Assembly of the International Baptist Convention meeting in Interlaken, Switzerland. The IBC is a fellowship of English language churches and missions located in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Central and South America which voluntarily cooperate with each other for the purpose of carrying out the Great Commission of Jesus Christ found in Matthew 28:18-20. The convention is comprised of more than 65 English-language churches and missions located in 27 countries. You can learn more about them at their web site – http://www.ibc-churches.org. You can also serve with me as you intercede on my behalf.

Join me in praying for global concerns shared in the most recent issue of “Highlights” – the magazine of the International Baptist Convention. Pray for needs in the following churches:
