we believe that at least 1% of this budget will be available and should be allocated to the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. This means that for the first time in our history

more than one-half of all monies that come from our churches through the SBC Cooperative Program will go to the reaching of the nations. The additional 1% would mean that the International Mission Board would begin to receive at least 51% of all monies that is given by our churches and received from our state conventions for the SBC Cooperative Program Allocation Budget.
