SUMMARY:Global Hunger Sunday
DESCRIPTION:The last few years have witnessed world-changing events that have disrupted supply chains and limited access to food for many people. Southern Baptists will\, on Aug. 28\, recognize Global Hunger Sunday to raise support for those in need. \nFor 44 years\, Southern Baptists have been raising funds to combat hunger around the globe. Originally started in 1978 as the World Hunger Fund\, Global Hunger Relief is dedicated to the fight to minimize world hunger and to sharing the gospel of Christ. \nGlobal Hunger Sunday is a great opportunity for churches to promote an offering to support Global Hunger Relief. Send Relief\, the compassion ministry arm of Southern Baptists\, helps to promote and distribute the offering each year. \nSend Relief focuses on five key areas: strengthen communities\, care for refugees\, protect children and families\, fight human trafficking and respond to crisis. The ministry sets up specific funds for these focus areas\, creates funds for specific projects and receives general donations to support compassion ministry efforts around the world. \nGenerosity toward Global Hunger Relief helps respond to crisis by meeting hunger-related needs in various ways. When famine or natural disaster strikes\, gifts to Global Hunger Relief provide resources for missionaries and other ministry partners to give food during those times of crisis. \nEfforts also include projects with a longer focus to offer sustainable solutions to chronic hunger. Missionaries and ministry partners will provide job skills training\, livestock and seed distribution\, clean water\, home reconstruction as well as medical care. \nIn 2021\, Southern Baptists gave $3.5 million through Global Hunger Relief\, and 100 percent of those gifts go toward meeting hunger needs with 20 percent going to needs in North America and 80 going toward international hunger needs. \nTo learn more about Global Hunger Relief\, visit globalhungerrelief.org\, and for resources designed to help churches recognize Global Hunger Sunday\, visit here. \nRead more about Global Hunger Sunday and how you can give by visiting the Baptist Press’s website.

SUMMARY:March for Life
DESCRIPTION:WASHINGTON (BP) – The March for Life originally scheduled Jan. 29 in Washington has been redesigned as a virtual event only\, March for Life President Jeanne Mancini announced Friday (Jan. 15). \n“In light of the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic which may be peaking\, and in view of the heightened pressures that law enforcement officers and others are currently facing in and around the Capitol\, this year’s March for Life will look different\,” Mancini said. “The annual rally will take place virtually and we are asking all participants to stay home and to join the march virtually.” \nMancini will still invite a “small group of pro-life leaders from across the country to march in Washington\, D.C.\,” she said. “These leaders will represent pro-life Americans everywhere who\, each in their own unique ways\, work to make abortion unthinkable and build a culture where every human life is valued and protected.” \nSouthern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear was still expected to speak\, but details were not available at press time. In December\, Greear was announced as the first SBC president to speak at the event\, and was to join celebrities and leaders including Tim Tebow\, Benjamin Watson and Jim Daly. \n“The protection of all of those who participate in the annual march\, as well as the many law enforcement personnel and others who work tirelessly each year to ensure a safe and peaceful event\, is a top priority of the March for Life\,” Mancini said Friday. “We are profoundly grateful for the countless women\, men\, and families who sacrifice to come out in such great numbers each year as a witness for life – and we look forward to being together in person next year. \n“As for this year’s march\, we look forward to being with you virtually.” \nThe march has taken place in Washington since 1974\, following the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the U.S. Since that time\, the march has grown globally to include hundreds of thousands of participants. \n– Diana Chandler is Baptist Press’ senior writer.

SUMMARY:OneDay·OneFocus virtual training event for women in ministry\, Oct. 29
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text font_size=”16″]OneDay·OneFocus is an exciting new virtual training event for women in ministry made possible by the unique circumstances of 2020! As colleagues from several state conventions discussed the challenge presented by having to cancel in-person trainings this fall\, the idea for OneDay·OneFocus was born. \nBased on Ephesians 4:1-16\, the goal of OneDay·OneFocus is to help women’s ministry leaders\, women in ministry\, missionary sisters and church planting wives understand while we all have differing roles in Kingdom work\, our aim is the same: make disciples. Susie Hawkins is the keynote speaker and Emily Rhyder from Providence Baptist Church in Raleigh will lead worship.  \nWomen’s ministry consultants from many state conventions will lead the breakout sessions. Breakout sessions will focus in the areas of disciple-making\, spiritual disciplines\, leadership\, ministry in a COVID-19 context and the needs of women. In addition\, participants will have opportunity to hear from IMB missionaries and NAMB church planter wives about their work and opportunities for partnership. Representatives from the women’s programs of the six Southern Baptist seminaries will also participate to share with leaders what they offer women’s ministry leaders. The event will conclude with a time of corporate prayer for our nation and churches. \nOneDay·OneFocus will begin at 5:00 p.m. EST on October 29. To learn more\, please visit onedayonefocus.com. Registration is only $10 and will provide access to all of the content through the end of the year. \n  \nRegister Now[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”7588″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]\nFeaturing\nKeynote Speaker\nAuthor and Speaker\nSusie Hawkins\nand 20 women’s leaders from across the Southern Baptist Convention\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text text_align=”center” font_size=”30″]\nBreakout Session Leaders\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”7383″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]\nDay of Prayer\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text font_size=”16″]Women are invited to pray together\, using this specially prepared Prayer Guide.

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.
