1861-2011 – 150 years of world mission

Don Carson

2011 is a very special year for us. It marks 150 years since the then Strict Baptist Mission was founded. Working first in India and then increasingly across the world, we are thrilled by the way the work has grown in God’s grace. To celebrate this milestone, join us on Saturday 29th October for our Anniversary Thanksgiving at the Renewal Centre in Solihull. This will something like our regular Annual meetings only more so, with a shorter church delegates meeting and meetings filled with a real sense of thanksgiving to God for his faithfulness.

At the thanksgiving service in the morning and the final rally in the late afternoon the guest preacher will be Don Carson. Don’s preaching and writing ministry is widely acclaimed, and we are grateful to him for his willingness to come. The day starts at 11am and finishes at 6pm, so that you can be home in good time ready for Church the next day. Full details of the programme are still being arranged, and will be posted on this website nearer the time. This really is a date to put in your diary now, and to gather a group of folk from your church to come and be part of it. We are also inviting all missionaries supported through GBM to come home for a residential conference at Cloverley Hall that precedes the Thanksgiving Day, so they will all be there on the Saturday, sharing about their work and rejoicing with us in what God has done, and praying for the work that lies ahead.
