Bill Mackey’s fi rst evangelism ex- perience ended before it started. Fresh off an evangelism emphasis at his church, the teenage Mackey had ea- gerly but nervously set out to share his faith with someone. The only person he knew who wasn’t a Christian was a friend’s father. “I remember driving to his house,” Mackey recalled. “And I knocked on the door. I didn’t know what I was going to say to him. “He wasn’t at home and boy was I relieved.” Though the anxious teen missed this fi rst opportunity, Mackey hasn’t passed up many chances to share Christ in sub- sequent years. Indeed, after several de- cades of Christian service, Mackey still has a driving passion to take the Gos- pel to the lost. And, as executive direc- tor of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, the two-time Southern Seminary gradu- ate has brought this same passion to the Bluegrass state. In fact, under Mackey’s leadership the KBC has established its fi rst mission statement — written by a specially ap- pointed committee and focused specially on expanding God’s Kingdom. The statement reads, “The mission of the Kentucky Baptist Convention is to assist Kentucky Baptist Convention churches and ministries and associations in connecting all people to Jesus Christ.” As part of this mission statement, the KBC committee established six priority objectives and 16 goals to give specifi city to those objectives, Mackey said. These objectives involve leader training, net- working, strengthening churches and, of course, missions and evangelism. One goal is to baptize 125,000 people in Ken- A zeal for tucky by 2010. “These are big goals, but they aren’t near as big as the Great Commission,” Mackey said. “The Great Commission the Lord: says that we are to reach all peoples. Best estimates are that there are 2 mil- lion unreached people in Kentucky and Mackey’s passion billions in the world.” Though the goals are big, they are reachable, Mackey said. In fact, 125,000 for evangelism could be reached if each KBC church would reach one more person per year for fi ve years. “So it is doable,” Mackey said. “But it page 24 Spring 2004 | Southern Seminary Magazine ALUMNI FOCUS will take focus.

Southern Seminary Magazine | Spring 2004 page 37 RRoollll CallCall 22000033 A Letter From Our President

Dear Friend,

God continues to bless The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and one of the tangible signs of His blessing is the growing number of friends to this institution. Without the support of the generous people whose names appear below, the task assigned to Southern Seminary by the Southern Baptist Convention would be virtually impossible.

God is raising up a mighty army of pastors, teachers, missionaries, and church staff members in this generation. I am hopeful and encouraged because of what I see God doing on our campus. Our students are more committed to the cause of Christ than they have ever been. More personal evangelism is taking place and more of our students are traveling abroad to share the Gospel. Upon graduation some of our students are leaving family and friends to take the message of salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.

You can have confidence that Southern Seminary is training, educating, and equipping God-called ministers of the Gospel for more faithful service in His church and on mission fields around the world. From Southern Seminary’s inception our charge has been to provide the churches of our denomination with faithful ministers for the fulfilling of the Great Commission. With the prayerful support and financial gifts of our friends Southern Seminary is faithful to our calling.

Please know of my personal appreciation for you and all you do for Southern Seminary. With you help The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary remains the leader in theological education among Southern Baptists and American Evangelicals. Only in eternity will we know the impact of this Seminary on our country and around the world.

Thank you for your generous financial support. May God continue to bless you richly in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Sincerely,

R. Albert Mohler Jr.
