How thrilled I was before we left to read these words regarding Frank Page being elected SBC president: ...Page’s church gives 12.4 percent of undesignated receipts to the Cooperative Program, (someone) said. “This issue is not about theology; it’s about methodology,” (someone) said. “Are we going to support our missionaries or not, and who has the credibility to stand before us and challenge us to do more? You see, we can’t have a double standard.... All of us must give if we’re going to reach this world for Christ.” I was surprised to read this, knowing that the International Prayer Center of Jerusalem has, um, had this idea since we began July 14, 2002: Evangelists adopt Acts 1:8 strategy.
