When one often thinks of church plants the images that come to mind are the jungles of Africa or the secret meetings in the night. But America needs churches just as much as other countries do. As the "melting pot" we have a unique opportunity, and even responsibility, to share the gospel with many different people groups. While living in the South, we can forget that there are places even in our own country without Christian churches where people can feel welcomed and presented with the truth of Jesus. And this is where Send North America comes in. Send North America is a mission though the North American Mission Board, which is connected to the SBC.They have a goal and a dream to plant churches all over the US, especially in places where there are not many already. But to do this, pre-existing churches must get involved. Churches grow off of each other. They do not just "happen." This mission God has laid on the hearts of baptists, and it is because of this that we must unite to further God's kingdom with church plants. Each and every church must use their God-given recourses to make this happen. We are stronger when we work together.
