Can I trust that these are Southern Baptist Convention missionaries?

All of our missionaries are vetted and provided to us by the communication staff of each Southern Baptist entity.

Do you have any stories specific to my state?

Every state convention develops resources to share what God is doing with your giving through the Cooperative Program. But not every state uses 52 Sundays. At this time, we can’t provide specific stories from your state.

However, all of the missionaries highlighted in 52 Sundays are national and international missionaries and are supported through your Cooperative Program giving.

How do I print these for use in my church?

52 Sundays is an electronic resource. You can the resources for each Sunday. Bulletin inserts are available as a single insert, or two-to-a-page, for ease of printing.

  1. Download the specific Sunday’s documents.
  2. Open the PDF of the bulletin insert, and click Print.*

*If printing the two-to-a-page inserts on letter size paper, make sure the scaling is at 100%. This will help the white border to be consistent on all sides and will allow you to only have to cut it down the middle to make two inserts.
