Maps are a great way to see the state of our world and how the Gospel is being taken to the nations through missions efforts and by indiginous peoples around the globe. Maps are more than colorful points of data--they help us see the world as God sees it, enabling more accurate prayer and more effective involvement in the mission of sharing Christ with others.

Every day churches and individual believers across the world are living their faith, growing in their knowledge of God, and sharing Christ with those around them. Many are also suffering greatly because of their faith in Christ, losing their families, friends, jobs, freedom and even their very lives for the cause of the Gospel. Despite challenges and hardships, the Good News is being shared and the church is growing at a tremendous rate.

Click below to download and view some of these helpful maps from our own Southern Baptist International Missions Board and other partner and resource organizations. Print out one or more and put them in the front of your Bible, on your bathroom mirror or refrigerator, at your place of Bible study or prayer, as a reminder to know God's church worldwide and engage in prayer and action regularly for the cause of Christ.
