His Mission - Our Passion
Each SVAB church is being challenged to be a part of supporting a Hispanic
pastor in two church plants in Severns Valley Association. This is an
opportunity for reaching lost Hispanics in our backyard. Check here regularly

ON MISSION IN COLORADO
When your church contributes to the Cooperative Program
through the Kentucky Baptist Convention (KBC), the KBC
retains a predetermined percentage to help advance
Kingdom causes and spread the Gospel across Kentucky.
Then the KBC sends the remaining portion to the Southern
Baptist Convention (SBC Executive Committee in
Nashville) to be distributed to SBC entities according to the
budget formula annually approved by SBC messengers.
Know this – out of every Cooperative Program dollar
forwarded by the KBC to the SBC:
Almost $.73 goes directly to world missions (50% to the
International Mission Board and 22.79% to the North
American Mission Board) and almost $.22 goes to help
provide theological education pastors, church ministerial
staff and missionaries.
What other system exists that would better enable your
church to advance the Gospel?
There is no comparable system. Therefore it logically
follows that contributing to the Cooperative Program
should be a core component of a church’s evangelism and
missions strategy.

General Information
In 2007 over 1.6 million adults and children died in Sub-
Sahara Africa because of aids. At the present 22.5 million
children and adults are living with the HIV virus. Because
of lack of health care, the limited access to drug
treatments, and the continued increase in the spread of
HIV, thousands die a very painful and horrible death each
year. Often the only care they receive is at home.
Kentucky Baptists have been asked by Baptist Global
Response to provide home care kits to be used by our
IMB missionaries to minister to caregivers and disease
victims in three areas that have been ravaged by this
horrible disease. The home care kits will be used in
ministry in the Baptist Fellowship of Zambia’s palliative
care ministry, in the home care ministry of Sanyati Baptist
Hospital in Central Zimbabwe, and to a ministry in South
Africa in the district with the highest per capita rate of
HIV positive victims in the world. These home care kits
will bring help and the hope of Christ to some of the
world’s most hopeless.
The Kentucky WMU and Baptist Men on Mission are
working together to meet this tremendous need among the
“least of these" in these three nations in southern Africa.
We have arranged collection sites across Kentucky and
delivery to our International Mission Board in Virginia. We
invite you to join us in giving hope to the hopeless.
