Cimarron Baptist Association 1244 E. Main, P. O. Box 470, Cushing, OK 74023 Office (918) 225-2300 FAX (918) 225-2412 www.cimarronbaptist.org February 12, 2015 Bob Copeland Director of Missions [email protected] Greetings From the Missionary’s Desk David Platt’s bio on Wikipedia lists his occupation as “Pastor, Author, Educator, Missionary.” In 2014, at the age of 36, he was named as the president of the Southern Baptist Convention's International Mission Board. At the age of 26, Platt was leading the congregation of The Church at Brook Hills, Birmingham, Alabama, and was known as the youngest megachurch pastor in America. Platt is also the author of the New York Times Best Seller, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, a follow-up book, Radical Together: Unleashing the People of God for the Purpose of God, and Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live. He has said, "I believe that God has uniquely created every one of His people to impact the world. Some may count it as idealistic, but I believe it is thoroughly biblical, rooted in Psalm 67:1-2, yet covering Scripture from beginning to end. God is in the business of blessing His people so that His ways and His salvation might be made known among all people.” We here in Oklahoma have a unique opportunity to see and hear David Platt on April 14. The North American Mission Board is hosting the SEND North America Experience Tour at Edmond’s First Baptist Church at 7:00 PM. The event is free. However, due to the anticipated attendance, reservations should be made at sendconference.com. Bro.
