A message from Paul Chitwood

“I love the work we do at IMB. It’s only because of Southern Baptists and their faithful investment in my life that I am here serving as IMB president.”

Watch Paul’s video now.

Where we work

Each day, 157,690 people are dying without Christ.

IMB missionaries live among these people, many who have never heard the gospel. At the IMB, we believe that missionary presence cultivates gospel access, gospel belief, and church planting and multiplication. See what lostness looks like in areas around the world and celebrate the work that God has done through IMB missionaries this last year.
