ROCKVILLE, Va. (BP) - International Mission Board trustees updated the board's strategic goals and objectives during their July 18-20 meeting at the Missionary Learning Center in Rockville, Va.

The new strategy plan reflects major commitments the board has made to fulfill the primary ministry assignments entrusted to it by the Southern Baptist Convention.

Key goals discussed and adopted by trustees include:

• Engage all unreached people groups (i.e., begin reaching them with the Gospel directly or through mission partners) with a population of more than 100,000 by the end of 2008.
• Provide access to the Gospel among all people groups by the end of 2010.
• Increase the number of overseas baptisms - and the number of new believers and church members being discipled - by 20 percent annually.
