Samaria - Acts 1:8

Your Samaria

Our church reaching our continent . . .

While we often think of North America as “Christian,” the reality is that an estimated 250 million people in our “Samaria” have no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. That is three of of every four people! The lostness of North America runs deep, and the gospel often meets a calloused response in this modern-day Samaria.

Your mission dollars, flowing through channels like the Cooperative Program and the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering® for North American Missions, provide another “Acts 1:8 partner” in the North American Mission Board (NAMB). Wherever your church’s interests and strategies focus in North America, NAMB can help you channel your energies there.
NAMB is positioned to act as a “nerve center” for the network of more than 48,000 Southern Baptist congregations and more than 5,000 missionaries across our continent. Wherever God leads your church in North America, you can probably connect with a Southern Baptist missionary or church in the area.
