Happy Father's Day!
The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him!
Proverbs 20:7

Happy Father's Day to all the incredible dads out there! 💙

Today, we want to take a moment to honor the fathers who show up every day, leading their households with strength, serving their communities with purpose, and pointing their children toward faith and hope.

Thank you for being role models. Thank you for being present. Thank you for reflecting the love of our Heavenly Father in everything you do.

We love and celebrate you today and every day!

This number should keep us up at night.

But it should also get us up in the morning.

The harvest is still abundant. The lostness is still real. Let's make Jesus known! 🙌 NAMB Evangelism

Summer brings a different rhythm—more time together, new environments, and opportunities we don’t always have during the rest of the year. From camp conversations to family time at home, these moments can open doors to share the gospel in meaningful ways.

Let’s be intentional in praying for them.

Pray:
• for gospel conversations at camp, as children and students ask questions and respond to what they’re hearing
• for missionaries serving around the world, that God would provide clear opportunities to share Christ
• for parents and families, to have intentional conversations about faith in everyday moments
• for leaders and volunteers, to speak truth with clarity, love, and boldness
• for open hearts to receive the gospel and lives to be changed

This is awesome! We agree together in prayer for this ministry and the upcoming week of conferences, meetings, and continued outreach.

🙌 Today, the gospel is going out across Orlando and Central Florida.

Thousands of volunteers, church planters, seminary students, pastors, and local churches are joining together for , a citywide effort to share the hope of Jesus with people throughout Orlando and the surrounding communities.

From neighborhood outreach and community events to prayer walks, block parties, sports camps, and personal gospel conversations, believers from across the country have come together with one purpose:

👉 To make Jesus known and help connect people to local churches.

💙 Would you pause and pray with us today?

Every year, Southern Baptists gather for the SBC Annual Meeting, but before the meetings begin, churches across Central Florida are stepping into neighborhoods, schools, and communities to share the hope of Jesus.

Will you pray with us?

➡️ Pray for volunteers and church members to have boldness, compassion, and gospel clarity as they engage people in their communities.

➡️ Pray for the pastors, staff, and leaders serving through these host churches—including 14 Hispanic congregations and 21 Haitian congregations faithfully reaching their cities with the gospel.

➡️ Pray for the hundreds of students gathering across Central Florida. Ask God to ignite a deep passion for personal evangelism in the next generation and to raise up young men and women who are unashamed of the gospel.

We’re praying for more than full rooms and busy schedules.

We’re praying for changed lives.
For gospel conversations.
For people far from God to encounter Jesus.
For churches united around one mission:
making Christ known.

Let’s pray for boldness, unity, and a historic gospel movement. 🔥
