Baptist General
Convention of
Oklahoma
Since 1845, the
Southern Baptist
Convention (SBC) has
had one mission—
the Great Commission.
“Go therefore, and
make disciples of
all the nations.”
(Matthew 28:19, NKJ)
Prior to 1925, SBC
entities competed with
one another for the
churches’ missions gifts.
In 1919, the leaders of
the SBC proposed the
75 Million Campaign.
In 1925, the
Cooperative Program
was launched.
The Process
The process begins
when you give
yourself to God.
(2 Corinthians 5:8)
Out of gratitude and
obedience to God, you
give back to the Lord
through your church.
Your church prayerfully
decides how much of its
undesignated gifts
will be committed to
CP Missions.
Messengers, elected by local
churches, decide what
percentage of CP Missions gifts
stays in our state to empower
missions and ministries in
Oklahoma.
Messengers from across
the country gather
during the SBC to decide
how its CP Missions gifts
will be used to train,
send, and reach people.
People around
the world hear
the gospel and
receive Christ.

groups throughout
the world in 2005.

You do the math
If “two are better than
one” (Ecclesiastes 4:9),
how much better are 16
million?
This is the current
membership in more than
41,000 Southern Baptist
Churches across the country.
So What Can You Do…
• to continue to carry the message of
Christ from your neighborhood to
the nations?
Pray
Give
Go
and

With a global
population
exceeding 6 billion,
we must multiply
our efforts to reach
people with the
gospel.
