Dear WCBA Churches: PLEASE, PLEASE read the latest article from The Baptist Press on the upcoming World Cup evangelism efforts. Please be in prayer for every facet of this huge undertaking and how your church can become a part of it whether at the events or working and supporting in the background.



SEE THE BAPTIST PRESS FULL ARTICLE ON THE RED BUTTON BELOW:


"The World Cup presents a unique opportunity for our Southern Baptist family of churches to engage people from all over the world with the Gospel,” said Tim Dowdy, vice president of evangelism at the North American Mission Board (NAMB). “Our hope is that churches in the cities where these events will be held as well as people from churches around the North America who plan to attend an event will find the tools designed specifically for the World Cup helpful in pointing people to Jesus.”


WORLD CUP 2026 EVANGELISM FROM NAMB:

NAMB has created a web page that captures several of these efforts in one place.
