Therefore\, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” \n— Matthew 9:37–38 \n\nTennessee Baptists are committed to sharing the Gospel until every Tennessean has had the opportunity to hear and respond to the good news of Jesus Christ. \n\nWill Your Church Participate?\nIf your church plans to join this statewide time of prayer\, please let us know by registering below. Not sure yet? You can also complete the form after September 27 to let us know if your church participated. \nRegister Your Church
