That all peoples may know Him

| Mark Caldwell and a local Christian take the half-hour boat ride from the coastal city of Ranong to several island villages damaged by the tsunami. Caldwell aims to not only bring physical help to tsunami survivors, but also to help local believers spark a church-planting movement in the region. |

Pakistanis face fears, harsh winter ahead

They fear aid will never reach them or that there will not be enough for everyone. They fear the chaos of relief camps. Southern Baptists seek to alleviate earthquake survivors’ fear by helping them prepare for the harsh winter ahead. Read more.

Speaking of missions
Missions by the Book: God accepts people from all nations
“‘… I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right’”. (Acts 10:34-35, NIV) – Early church leader Peter
Quotable: What does it take to extend the gospel?
“Does extending the gospel to the edge of lostness require special gifts, compelling eloquence or extraordinary courage? Sometimes. More often, it takes simple obedience and faith on the part of God’s ordinary servants.” – Erich Bridges, writing about the unsung heroes of church-planting movements
