2024 Annual Summary Digital

Many Parts, One Body

From the Executive Director

We are family! We are the body of Christ! News feeds and social media constantly bombard us with messages of polarity and division. Yet as Christians — we are all members of the same family — Christ’s family. The work of the Lord requires every one of us to do our part, and each of us brings our unique talents, skills and passions to the task. Coming from that same Spirit of the living God at work in our world, we all have our role to play. Our shared family of mission seeks to introduce Jesus to a world in desperate need of hope and healing. From your neighborhood church where you worship, the Region in which you live, the programs of our American Baptist Home Mission Societies here in this country, to our International Ministries work throughout the world — American Baptists are serving as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. It takes all of us! Our American Baptist family needs your support. Through your planned gifts — wills, estate plans and beneficiary designations — you can leave a legacy that will ensure the ministries that matter most to you now are still here serving generations to come. We are a great family! As you read the stories in this Annual Summary, may you be encouraged. I pray you will be inspired to create your own legacy, and play your part in sustaining our great American Baptist work in the world. Contact the Foundation today to learn more about how you can create your own legacy of love!

In service together, Chris R. Christine Roush Chief Executive Officer
