I attended as an observer. Ridgecrest Conference center is located approximately 92 miles from my home. Therefore, I drove over that morning and was able to be home on Wednesday afternoon. It was great to be able to interact with the various trustees. Blessings, Tim Brother Harry,

Like all of our entity Presidents, Dr. Rankin possesses a vision for the IMB. Brother Scott, Dr. Floyd would call on trustees sitting around microphones to pray for the reports presented. There was a couple that changed their location of ministry and they were presented to the BoT. After they were called forward Dr. Floyd called on Trustees to surround this couple and pray for them as they began their new ministry. Wonderful time!! Blessings, Tim Brother Robin,

The information is a great challenge...one I often heard from my alma mater--MABTS! I also appreciate Dr. Floyd, his heart and ministry. "To all the world for Jesus' sake" Sola Gratia! Tim,

Excellent post. I have listened to the audio portion of the report and Bro. Jerry’s affirmation.

Dr. Rankin did an excellent job laying out some of the challenges the IMB is facing. Needless to say, I was impressed with the report.

Bro. Jerry sounded sincere in his affirmation and went as far as giving his support to Dr. Rankin’s leadership. He did mention some of the terrible things that are happening here in blog land, but did not sound anything like the seemingly unfortunate caricature that has been painted elsewhere by different people. We are blessed to have trustees who stand up for truth like Bro. Jerry did yesterday.

I agree with you, it is a great day to be a Southern Baptist!
