Let mercy flow The streams of mercy start in the worship services of 47,000 local churches. As the offering plate goes by, or as gifts are made online, 12 million members in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination support God’s mission work through the Cooperative Program. Representing 42 state conventions including our own Illinois Baptist State Association, these Southern Baptist congregations send a portion of their undesignated offerings to their state conventions. Some reach the goal of 10% or more. The SBC Executive Committee serves as the hub for distributing the funds. From there, Southern Baptists support 6 seminaries that train pastors and missionaries. We fund 2 mission boards for international missions (IMB) and North American missions (NAMB). We support 1 voice in the public square, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). Our volunteers in yellow shirts are partners in Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, who team with Send Relief, the joint IMB/NAMB compassion ministry, and Illinois Baptist Disaster Relief. Our network also includes 1 auxiliary, Woman’s Missionary Union, and 1 publishing house, Lifeway Christian Resources, which are self-supporting.
