The CBF has had a huge impact on the world. And even better, it continues to build and grow communities of faith in all parts of the world. On the CBF website, I came across a video under their Global Missions section which I though was very encouraging. The CBF planted churches in India, and because of the faithfulness of both the CBF and its missionaries, many previously overlooked regions of India are now being exposed to the Gospel of Life. One of the gentlemen on the video was discussing how the CBF used the natives' basic need for water as an inlet for a church plantation, which then led to an explosion of converts to Christianity. The CBF, as a product of the summation of many like-minded Baptist churches, was able to integrate into the culture and impact the people in a meaningful way. Without a consolidated effort, and without a focus of funds from every supporting church, the same goals would have been impossible to attain. When Baptists work together for a common objective, the possibilities are greatly increased. Without a willingness to cooperate, those regions of India would have been left untouched and without the beautiful picture of salvation painted across their hearts. What else can we as Baptists accomplish when we come together to minister to the world about us, bringing glory to our Lord Most High.
