Missionary Moments Videos

Each of these vignettes is two minutes or less in length and features the ministry of international and North American missionaries. Your participation in Cooperative Program (CP) empowers these efforts in your state, across the nation, and around the world. These vignettes are suitable for use in a variety of ways including: during Sunday morning or Sunday evening worship; as part of your announcements or prayer time; during the offering; as part of your Wednesday prayer service; as part of a missions study; as a sermon illustration; as part of a new members’ class; as part of a video loop that runs in the foyer or other areas of your church; during small group studies.

Missions education increases all stewardship 

"...when looking at a total of 40,056 congregations across the country, the average per capita giving to CP was $23.65 in churches without WMU- or NAMB-supported missions education programs as compared to $43.28 per capita giving in churches that have these programs." -Baptist Press 10/30/2008

"I am totally sold on the Cooperative Program"

"I am totally sold on the Cooperative Program," says Zach Richards, 30, pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church in  CROSSVILLE.

"Some may think the Cooperative Program has run its course, but for our church, there is no way we could be involved in as much Kingdom work as we are without it."

About 120 people participate in Sunday morning worship at the Crossville, Ala., congregation –- about a 50 percent increase over what it was when Richards was called as pastor two years ago.
