SUMMARY:SBC Advance: An online ministry update
DESCRIPTION:While the 2020 SBC Annual Meeting has been canceled for the first time since 1945\, Southern Baptists will still be provided with an opportunity to hear from the entities of the Southern Baptist Convention through an online event June 2 hosted by the SBC Executive Committee. \nSBC Advance\, a two-hour online event\, is not designed to be a substitute for the annual meeting\, but will provide ministry updates from and interviews with all SBC entity and auxiliary heads\, as well as SBC President J.D. Greear. The event will be livestreamed at SBCadvance.com starting at 3 p.m. EDT Tuesday\, June 2\, 2020. \n“SBC Advance is about telling the story of what God is doing through our churches and the work we are doing together regionally\, statewide\, nationally and internationally\,” said SBC EC president and CEO Ronnie Floyd. “This online gathering will not just be informational\, but inspirational for all Southern Baptists. It will also lead us to have a greater commitment and sharper focus on sharing the Good News of Jesus with the whole world. This online experience is for all Southern Baptist laypeople\, pastors\, church staff members\, church leaders\, denominational employees and missionaries here in America and across the world.” \nGreear will provide a presidential update during the event as well. \n“Southern Baptists have always united around the need to see people come to saving faith in Jesus\,” Greear said. “While we may be apart right now\, SBC Advance will allow us to hear about the great things God is doing and will call us to seek His face for the future. While the times are challenging\, this event will remind us of who we are: a convention of more than 47\,500 churches that stand for the Gospel above all and the need to get the message of Jesus Christ to the nations.” \nThe 2020 SBC Annual Meeting was scheduled to be held in Orlando June 9-10\, but the COVID-19 global pandemic forced Southern Baptist leaders to cancel the event for the first time since World War II. \nBut while Southern Baptists may not be gathering physically\, SBC Advance will provide the opportunity to gather virtually and remember the fundamental reason for Southern Baptist cooperation — missions. \n“We must not lose connection to one another nor waver in our shared commitment to get the Gospel to the nations\,” IMB president Paul Chitwood said in a statement. “SBC Advance will help us do what we must do: keep our focus on our mission.” \nVideo updates from the entities\, annual reports\, audited financial statements\, and other updated reporting data will be provided at the time of the event.

SUMMARY:SBC Exec Comm to host online prayer gathering on Good Friday
DESCRIPTION:What: A time of focused prayer amid the global COVID-19 pandemic \nWhen: 12 p.m. CDT\, April 10 \nWhere: sbc.net/pray and the SBC Executive Committee Facebook page \nNASHVILLE (BP) — As Southern Baptists navigate the crisis resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic\, Ronnie Floyd\, president and CEO of the SBC Executive Committee\, has called for a special time of prayer. \nThe SBC Good Friday Online Prayer Gathering will take place at 12 p.m. CDT April 10. While plans are still being finalized\, led by Floyd and other leaders from across the SBC\, the event will be livestreamed at sbc.net/pray and on the SBC Executive Committee’s Facebook page. \nThe format will include times of Scripture reading and focused prayer to address specific needs related to the pandemic\, according to Floyd\, who is inviting and encouraging all Southern Baptists to participate. \n“We have never been here before\,” Floyd said. “Our prayers need to match these challenges.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 Call to Prayer
DESCRIPTION:NASHVILLE (BP) — Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear and the SBC Great Commission Council (GCC) are calling all Southern Baptists throughout more than 47\,500 churches “to commit to a dedicated time of prayer this Sunday\, March 15\, 2020.” \nIn response to the World Health Organization declaring the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak to be a global pandemic\, Greear and the GCC\, which is composed of the heads of the convention’s national entities\, issued the following: \nDay of Prayer for the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Global Pandemic\nSunday\, March 15\, 2020\nIn light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic\, we are asking all Southern Baptists and our 47\,500+ churches of the Southern Baptist Convention to commit to a dedicated time of prayer this Sunday\, March 15\, 2020\, to seek the Lord in unity about these matters: \n1. Ask God\, in His mercy\, to stop this pandemic and save lives — not only in our communities but around the world\, particularly in places that are unequipped medically to deal with the virus. (Isaiah 59:1-2) \n2. Pray for President Donald Trump and other government leaders — international\, federal\, state\, and local — to have the wisdom to direct us in the best courses of action for prevention and care. (Romans 13:1–4) \n3. Scripture says: Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts. Pray that the Lord will give us wisdom in this moment of fear as the foundations of what we know are shaken\, that others would realize how fragile life is and how real eternity is\, and they would see their need to turn to God. (Psalm 90:12) \n4. Ask God to protect our missionaries and their families around the globe\, using this global crisis to advance His Good News to the whole world.

SUMMARY:SBC annual meeting registration opens
DESCRIPTION:Each church should send the maximum number of messengers allowed to the 2020 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Orlando in June\, SBC Executive Committee president Ronnie Floyd told Baptist Press Jan. 14. \n“I want to encourage every Southern Baptist church to send messengers to our 2020 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Orlando\, Fla.\, on June 9-10\,” Floyd said in advance of the opening of online registration Feb. 1 at sbcannualmeeting.net. \n“I am calling upon our pastors and church leaders from our churches to do all they can to bring their full contingent of messengers to Orlando\,” Floyd said. “This will be a historic convention that casts a big vision for our future together. \n“I deeply believe the more people we can have attend our annual meeting each year\,” he said\, “the more we will be able to mobilize our work together across the world as Southern Baptists.” \nThe meeting\, themed “Gospel Above All. Always\,” has already drawn a higher hotel registration to date than previous meetings\, said William Townes\, SBC EC chief financial officer. He tabulated hotel registration to date for SBC 2020 at 2\,132\, compared to 1\,327 at the comparable time last year for SBC 2019. \n“We are very pleased that current hotel bookings are far outpacing the prior year\,” Townes told BP Monday (Jan. 13). “Based on these strong reservation [numbers]\, we anticipate we will have between 11\,000 and 13\,000 church messengers represented with more than 15\,000 attendees in total.” \nEach church is allowed a minimum of two messengers\, with other criteria determining an allowed messenger count as high 12 per church. \nHotel rooms are still available at sbcannualmeeting.net for the meeting at the west concourse of the Orange County Convention Center. \nWatch Floyd’s video invitation to SBC 2020:
