Bill O’Brien, a former Southern Baptist music missionary acknowledged as a leading expert in 21st century global missions, died Saturday (Feb. 1).
For 15 years, including nine years as executive vice president, he was responsible for implementing goals of Bold Mission Thrust, a vision for “every person in the world shall have the opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ in in the next 25 years” adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 1976.
