Together for His Kingdom
But when they believed Philip, as he preached the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized - Acts 8:12 (HCSB)

The early church worked together to effectively build the kingdom of God. Today, Southern Baptist follow that lead. The key to the success of the early church in Acts remain the same today. In Acts 8, we find Philip preached Jesus to the lost people of Samaria 0 a place full of evil. And the Holy Spirit broke through the darkness, People were delivered from unclean spirits. Illness and disease bowed down to Christ. Even notorious Simon - the feared sorcerer who practiced witchcraft - turned to Jesus and was baptized. The Spirit of God swept through Samaria, the Scripture says there was "great joy in that city." It was a victory for Christ and His kingdom.
Since Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever, the same power that raised Him from the graves lives inside His people. It is in Jesus' name, and with His power, that we send our Southern Baptist missionaries to the unreached Samaria of North America to preach, to baptize, and to make disciples together for His kingdom.
