Cooperative Program (CP) Missions—Its Potential


If “two are better than one” (Eccl. 4:9), how much better are 16.3 million? This is the current membership in more than 44,483 Southern Baptist churches across Canada and the United States. With a global population exceeding 6.5 billion and a command to take the gospel to every nation, we must enhance our cooperative efforts if we are going to fulfill Christ’s command.*

To help CP Missions reach its potential, would you please:

  • Pray. Pray regularly for your Southern Baptist missionaries (short and long-term) in Canada and around the globe. “Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers.” Matthew 9:38 (HCSB)
  • Go. Be involved in some sort of missions endeavor. Talk with your pastor about the available opportunities. You are God’s missionary right where you live. “Go...and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19 (HCSB)
  • Give. Out of love for the Lord, give regularly to Him through your church. If you are not tithing, begin to do so and also discover the blessings of giving beyond the tithe. Encourage your church to increase its participation in Cooperative Program (CP) Missions.


“Since you excel in so many ways … now I want you to excel also in this gracious ministry of giving.” 2 Corinthians 8:7 (NLT)

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse.” Malachi 3:10 (NKJV)

Thank you for your love for the Lord,
your love for people,
and your participation in Cooperative Program (CP) Missions.
