Preaching. Baptisms. @NAMB_SBC Missions Offering. I love our churches and I love my calling to serve @OhioBaptists. Even met a young couple applying soon to serve the nations with the @IMB_SBC...phenomenal day at First Baptist Church New Lebanon! #AAEO anniearmstrong.com

RECORD crowd today for the @CCVPolicy gathering at the @OhioStatehouse. Such a joy to preach the Gospel, represent @OhioBaptists & hear from the @cedarville worship team, Rekindle. We must not only pray for our political leaders unconditionally, but also engage them biblically!

Looking forward to speaking at this tomorrow and partnering with the @cedarville worship team...pray the Lord would be honored and uplifted at our state capitol!

Cooperative Program giving dipped in February, with receipts totaling about $1.5 million short of the $19 million goal. Year-to-date totals are around 2.5 percent below budget targets. baptistpress.com/resource-libra…

So much fun preaching this morning down in Cincinnati at Grace Church. Send Ohio church planter & @OhioBaptists pastor @ramathis20 is doing an incredible job...they are launching a 2nd service on Easter Sunday. God is moving all over the Buckeye State! @sendnetwork @NAMB_SBC

What a blessing to have @BRRickCurtis here in Ohio speaking at our 2026 @OhioBaptists AMS retreat. Grateful for how @NAMB_SBC @sendnetwork partners & invests in our associations!

The Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee will work to fulfill its ministry assignments despite budget challenges in the coming year, EC President and CEO Jeff Iorg told the body Feb. 16 during its meeting in Nashville. baptistpress.com/resource-libra…

Grateful for God's activity among our churches here in the Buckeye State. Cooperation & Confession continue to bind us together to move the mission forward. A desire to reach Ohio (@OhioBaptists), fund church planters (@NAMB_SBC) & fuel missionaries (@IMB_SBC) led to a record CP!

Absolutely love preaching capital campaign Sundays. How fun to travel the Buckeye State and witness God's activity & the growth among our @OhioBaptists churches!

Our next Sending Celebration is coming up next month! Join us Wednesday, February 4, at 7:30pm ET and be a part of the work God is doing around the world. As we celebrated the Zeth and Hannah in our last Sending Celebration, we look forward to sending more!

@SendNetwork church planters know what it means to be supported and they’re just as eager to give generously to others! Grateful for planters who steward God’s provision with open hands and gospel purpose.

2025 was a RECORD breaking year for Ohio Baptists. Of the historic amount of over $4.8 million given through the Cooperative Program, over $300k came from our SEND Ohio church planters. Read more about it at scbo.org/messenger

Merry Christmas from your @IMB_SBC missionaries and staff proclaiming in 150+ nations good news of great joy for all the people that a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord!

Merry Christmas from The Westbrook’s 🎄 Always remember the greatest gift this Christmas will not be found under a tree, but hung on the real Christmas tree for you and me! (1 Peter 2:24)

128 adults plus their children completed their 7 weeks of training & were commissioned today. Soon headed to the nations to share the good news. Thanks be to God. Let’s ‘Hold the Ropes’ SBC family.

My journey to international missions began in the most ordinary of places – a middle school Bible study at Hoffmantown Baptist Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico. baptistpress.com/resource-libra…
