FRANKLIN — Tennessee Baptist Convention churches gave $2,648,026 through the Cooperative Program in September.
For the year-to-date, Tennessee Baptists have given $31,139,417 through the Cooperative Program which funds missions and ministries in Tennessee, the nation, and the world.
The amount is $828,320 or 2.6 percent below what was given during the same time frame last year. With one month to go in the 2016-17 fiscal year, gifts are $943,916 or 2.94 percent below budget needs.
“Thank you Tennessee Baptists for getting us to within 3 percent of our Cooperative Program Missions and Ministry goal with a month to go in our fiscal year, which ends Oct. 31,” said Randy C. Davis, president and executive director of the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board.
“For the sake of Great Commission work in Tennessee and around the globe, my hope is that we have a strong finish in Cooperative Program giving this year that pushes us beyond our goal,” he said.
