Cerca de 1,000 Bautistas de Florida se unieron para celebrar victorias y mirar hacia el futuro para alcanzar a los 22 millones de residentes de Florida con el evangelio durante la reunión Challenge 2025 celebrada el 28 de febrero en First Baptist Church en Orlando.

To highlight Florida Baptists’ commitment to moving forward with the gospel, several pastors and church leaders shared personal stories on each of the six focus areas of Challenge 2025 during the 2021 Florida Baptist annual meeting.

Thank you Florida Baptist pastors and churches for your incredible Kingdom ministry across Florida and to the nations! Your faithful giving through the Cooperative Program is being multiplied in mission and ministry. I pray that God will continue to bless your church in your local and global ministries.
