In a time when many were moving out of his area, Jonathan believed God was calling him to stay. To serve. To plant a church. And praise God for his sending church, Bethel Baptist, who is making church planting possible! Pray for this new church planter as he seeks to love his neighborhood and introduce them to Jesus!

Most church plants focus on sermons, volunteers, or social media… but often miss the most important ingredient: leadership development. You're not just planting a church; you're planting leaders. Check out the full article by @lukedsimmons here 👇 newchurches.com/article/the-mi…

@SENDLosAngeles @NAMB_SBC Praise the Lord!

Last weekend at our annual Los Angeles church planters marriage retreat, 30 couples came to invest in their marriages and take a break from the challenges of ministry! Thank you to our lead partners for making retreats like this possible! @NAMB_SBC @wearesendnetwork

Praise God with us for all He’s done in our state in 2025! @sendnetwork @NAMB_SBC @californiasbc

Yesterday concluded the 2025 LA City Residency! We are immensely proud of our residency participants, who diligently underwent the training. We are so thankful for Will and Mark for their exceptional leadership and wisdom! @sendnetwork @NAMB_SBC @californiasbc @sendcalifornia

The Christian life is first about communion... not contribution. Relationship with God is where our rest is restored, our identity is settled, and our peace is found—not in our output, but in His presence.

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions supports the thousands of International Mission Board missionaries serving around the globe by providing the resources they need to give help and hope to a lost world. 🌍 🙏 Pray Southern Baptists will give generously and sacrificially to spread the good news of Jesus throughout the world. | #2025PrayerCalendar

We’re ending this week of gratitude by praising God for all the new churches that launched in hard-to-reach cities and underserved communities! 🙌 Churches like Vintage Church in Livermore, Calif., which launched this fall, are already making a gospel impact. 🙏 Pray for these missionaries, their families, and their teams as they engage people with the gospel.

When God sends, God supplies. And His timing may not feel convenient or predictable. But He will always provide what He knows we need — in His perfect timing. Trust. Obey. Repeat.

They’ve poured out. They’ve served. They’ve led through storms and seasons of growth.  It was an honor to serve these ministry couples and church planters at our San Diego Refresh Retreat! 🌿 Healthy families lead healthy ministries. ⛪️

This is what family does — we stick together. Join us in asking God to go before the next generation of planters, strengthen their families and advance the gospel through their churches. Share your city and join us in praying for churches planting churches everywhere for everyone.

If you want to last in ministry, pay close attention to: 1️⃣ Your own joy and peace in God 2️⃣ The health of your marriage and your rhythms of rest and recreation Ep. 12 - Shepherding with Gospel Vision i-sml.mtrbio.com/public/smartli…

Leaders aren’t discovered by accident. They’re developed intentionally. Again and again, new church planters point back to a pastor who noticed their potential and invested in their future. Be that leader for someone — who notices and invests.

This weekend, our Send California Director Will Browning and his wife, Tarah, led a marriage retreat at the San Fernando Valley Southern Baptist Association! Grateful for their 26 years of wisdom and faithful service to the Kingdom.

❌ What the Bible is not It’s not a random collection of books. Not an anthology. Not God’s “greatest hits.” 🎯 What the Bible is A single, unified story— God’s story of redemption. Full article by @drmedders 👇 i-sml.mtrbio.com/public/smartli…

Before we send preachers, we must raise up pray-ers. Movements of God don’t begin with strategies, skills, or stadiums—they begin on our knees.
