What is ERC

The Evangelism Response Center (ERC) is part of the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.  It exists to share the Gospel and pray with people over the telephone and Internet.  Respondents contact the ERC by phone and Internet after seeing the ERC telephone numbers and Internet addresses on TV ads and programs, radio ads and programs, print ads and articles, billboards, etc.

The Evangelism Response Center works through Volunteer Encouragers

The ERC provides a network of volunteers throughout North America who have been trained to communicate the message of Jesus Christ to people by telephone and Internet.  These Telephone Encouragers (TE’s) and Internet Encouragers (IE’s) make up a new and exciting category of Southern Baptist missions volunteers.  You can now share the Gospel with receptive people from all over the United States and Canada from the comfort, safety, and privacy of your own home!
