During the Tuesday morning session of the 2009 KBC Annual Meeting, outgoing KBC President John Mark Toby presented the president’s address. Preaching from Hebrews 12:2, Toby encouraged Kentucky Baptists to “keep the main thing the main thing. And the main thing is Jesus!”
Toby reminded attendees that Jesus Christ must be central in their lives, in salvation and in the forgiveness they experience. He then provided statistics about lostness and unchurched people in Kentucky and challenged Kentucky Baptists to renew their commitment to pray.
“As we prepare to study for Great Commission Resurgence in both the Southern Baptist Convention and Kentucky Baptist Convention, we will miss the mark if all we talk about is a reallocation of resources,” said Toby. “We need to pray for a renewed heart of Kentucky and Southern Baptists to the cause of Christ to…do the work of the Great Commission.”
In addition to the Great Commission Resurgence, Toby encouraged attendees to pray as they prepare for “Find it Here,” the KBC’s upcoming evangelistic campaign designed to share the gospel with up to 1.5 households across Kentucky.
