SBTC offering January ‘Embrace’ mission labs

The SBTC is offering “labs” for churches interested in the Embrace strategy to engage unengaged, unreached people groups (UUPGs).

“These labs will help churches to understand what it means to embrace a UUPG and what they will need to give in the process,” said SBTC missions associate Chad Vandiver.

Churches will hear from a Southern Baptist pastor who has led his church to embrace a UUPG, Vandiver said, and they have the opportunity to network with other churches and pastors who have begun the journey to embracing a UUPG.

Churches will also hear about future training sessions on embracing a UUPG, Vandiver said.
