Dr. Kevin Ezell
Dr. Kevin Ezell serves as the President of the North American Mission Board, providing strategic vision, direction, and leadership as NAMB works with state partners in helping Southern Baptists to reach North America through evangelism and church planting.
The North American Mission Board (NAMB) is the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) mission agency which exists to work with churches, associations, and state conventions in mobilizing Southern Baptists as a missional force to impact North America with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through evangelism and church planting. Through its strategy of Send North America, NAMB will:
- Mobilize churches to plant churches and mobilize church planters.
- Equip church planters and “sending churches” for evangelistic church planting.
- Plant churches within defined regions and concentrated in large populations centers (cities) within those regions to maximize efforts to reduce lostness and create a ripple effect that will move from the cities to rural areas.
Dr. David Putman
David has been involved in church planting for over twenty years as a planter, strategist, and coach. He is author of Detox for the Overly Religious, Breaking the Discipleship Code, and co-author of Breaking the Missional Code with Ed Stetzer. David’s life mission is to help others discover the simplicity, centrality, and beauty of Jesus and his ways.
