密苏里浸信会年会在St. Charles举行：61名北美宣教委员会植堂者在州内工作，是四年前的两倍
密苏里浸信会联会（Missouri Baptist Convention）的官方报《The Pathway》11月4日报道，该联会年度会议于10月26日至27日在密苏里州St. Charles市的St. Charles会议中心举行，数百名来自全州教会的使者、嘉宾与参展机构代表参会交流。
植堂是年会的一大主题。SEND Missouri负责人Jason Zellmer在会上表示，密苏里州现有61名经北美宣教委员会（NAMB）认证的植堂者，是四年前的两倍。会议期间还分享了多间教会的宣教行动：St. Joseph市Green Valley浸信会的儿童假期圣经学校奉献4,500美元，经SEND Relief为一个第三世界村庄购买了60只山羊。
跨州伙伴关系也有进展：密苏里浸信会与蒙大拿州Cheyenne保留地的Lame Deer教会合作，为当地免费供水，该教会近期有7人受洗、4人决志。
联会事务方面，Baptist Homes and Healthcare Ministries的董事会决定解散并出售多处护理中心，其Ozark与Ashland两处校区转由密苏里浸信儿童之家（Missouri Baptist Children's Home）继续长者事工。

Missouri Baptists Meet in St. Charles: 61 North American Mission Board Church Planters Now Work in the State, Double the Number Four Years Ago
The Pathway, the official news journal of the Missouri Baptist Convention, reported on November 4 that the convention's annual meeting brought several hundred messengers, guests and exhibitors to the St. Charles Convention Center in St. Charles, Missouri, on October 26-27.
Church planting was a major theme. Jason Zellmer, who leads SEND Missouri, told the meeting that 61 church planters endorsed by the North American Mission Board (NAMB) now work in Missouri, twice the number of four years ago. Churches also shared mission stories: children at Green Valley Baptist Church in St. Joseph gave $4,500 through their Vacation Bible School offering, which bought 60 goats for a village in the developing world through SEND Relief.
An out-of-state partnership reported progress as well: Missouri Baptists partner with Lame Deer Church on the Cheyenne reservation in Montana, which provides free water locally and recently saw seven baptisms and four professions of faith.
In convention business, the board of Baptist Homes and Healthcare Ministries voted to dissolve and sell several care centers, with its Ozark and Ashland campuses transferring to the Missouri Baptist Children's Home to continue ministry to seniors.
