On any given weekend, more than five million Southern Baptists gather to worship around the country. Can you imagine the impact if every one of them asked God each day to let him or her lead one person to Christ next year?

It is with a grateful heart that I address you as president of our Southern Baptist Convention. Thank you for allowing me to serve you and our Lord this past year.

Since 1845, Southern Baptists have elected 58 men from fifteen states to serve as president of the Southern Baptist Convention.
