Ezell emphasizes the ‘power of one’ in reaching North American for Christ

During the past decade, Southern Baptists have planted 8,200 churches throughout North America, comprising nearly 17% of all churches in the denomination, said Kevin Ezell as he presented NAMB’s annual report June 15.

Referencing NAMB’s “Who’s Your One?” emphasis, Ezell said the power behind the numbers is always “the power of one — one ministry opportunity, one church, one person.”
