Evangelists to Focus on Miami, New York
Religion News Service
The Southern Baptists have chosen two major cities--New York and Miami--as the focus of five-year evangelistic efforts that start next year.
Robert E. Reccord, chairman of the North American Mission Board, announced that the two cities would get special attention through his agency’s Strategic Focus Cities initiative from 2001 through 2006.
The initiative is part of an overall effort by the Southern Baptist Convention to evangelize urban centers outside its traditional Southern strongholds.
