FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Thank You,

Florida Baptist churches for your faithfulness and fruitfulness in ministry. Florida Baptist churches continue to be leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention in every measurable area of ministry. This Annual Report is a collection of data that tells the story of the blessing of God upon our churches. Every number represents a life that was touched and changed to glory of the Lord.

The 2018 story reflects the obedience of God's people to God's calling in our vineyard of ministry called Florida.

I encourage you to continue to #BeTheSpark through your giving through the Cooperative Program to #ReachFlorida and #ReachTheWorld! Thank you for your generosity in Kingdom giving through the Cooperative Program.

I trust that this information will encourage you in ministry. We clearly understand through this Annual Report that we need each other and that we are better together. The Florida Baptist Convention exists to serve the churches in our state. My prayer is that God would continue blessing you as you fulfill your calling in Christ! It is a privilege to be `Right Beside You.'
