NEW ORLEANS (BP) – “Thank you for all you do as bivocational pastors,” said Kevin Ezell, president of the North American Mission Board, at the third annual Bivocational Luncheon June 20, during the Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting in New Orleans.

“Not until I came to the North American Mission Board did I realize the enormity of what bivocational pastors do in North America,” Ezell said. “If we’re really going to penetrate the lostness of North America, it’s going to have to be with the help of bivocational pastors, because there’s no way possible to completely fund missions work full time without your impact.”The full content of this page is available to Baptist Message subscribers only.
