Every month, we spotlight five helpful resources for you as you seek to walk closely with the Lord and make disciples. Many of these resources are created by the staff of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSCNC) to help meet the ministry needs of pastors and lay leaders across the state.

Check out this month’s roundup, which includes a prayer guide for the month of January and a devotional for families to become more missional. Also included are the 2020 Book of Reports and a 2021 Bible-reading challenge. Finally, we offer a collection of resources from our 2020 annual meeting.

In addition to the resources featured here, many more can be found at ncbaptist.org/resources. You may also follow @ncbaptist on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where we’ll share other helpful resources throughout the month.

‘Pray Together. Go Together.’
This 30-day prayer guide was created to help us see the unreached people and least-reached places across our state. The guide is designed to be used as part of a special prayer emphasis during the month of January. The guide includes daily descriptions of unreached people groups and pockets of lostness, along with accompanying prayer points and tips for engagement. You may also sign up to receive daily text messages and email prayer prompts. Join us this January as we pray together and go together.

Missional Families Resource
Do families in your congregation see their homes or neighborhoods as a mission field? The “Acts 2:39 Missional Families Parent Guide” is designed to help parents discover new ways to be intentional in fulfilling the Great Commission at home and in their communities. Also available is the companion “Acts 2:39 Missional Families Leader’s Guide,” designed by church leaders for church leaders.

Developed by the 19th-century Scottish minister, Robert Murray M’Cheyne, this Bible reading plan takes readers through the New Testament and Psalms twice a year, and through the rest of the Bible once each year. Friends or small group members can encourage one another by committing together to the 2021 Bible reading challenge. Consider taking this challenge and let us know on social media how you plan to read the Bible in 2021.
