Messengers celebrate 100 years
of Cooperative Program giving
DALLAS (BP) — During the June 10 afternoon session of the SBC annual meeting in Dallas, SBC Executive Committee President Jeff Iorg led messengers in celebrating 100 years of Cooperative Program giving. Referencing Joshua 4, he shared the story of God instructing His people to gather 12 commemorative stones from the Jordan River and to create a memorial to the miracle of God, who stopped the river so the Israelites could cross on dry ground. The memorial had two purposes, Iorg said. First, it was a reminder in verses 6-9 to celebrate a historic event when the river stopped flowing, and they walked on dry ground. Second, in verses 6-7, it was an object lesson for future generations. In a similar way, throughout this convention, Southern Baptists are erecting memorial stones of 100 years of cooperation demonstrated through the Cooperative Program, Iorg said. “We point to missionaries sent, churches started, students educated, institutions built and most of all, people saved because Southern Baptists have contributed more than $20 billion through the Cooperative Program in the past 100 years.”
