The Cooperative Program is not an unfamiliar phrase in the world of Southern Baptists. Since 1925 this has been our beautiful and effective way of supporting missionaries and sharing the gospel around the world — the Great Commission at its finest. Recently I have learned that for many churches during financial struggle, when the bills come in each month and choices have to be made, it is the Cooperative Program that is cut from the budget. And for many other churches, they believe their local and individual church ministries are more important.
