This article examines the pioneering role of the Baptist Churches of New England (BCNE) in advancing reverse mission within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). It situates New England Baptists within the wider context of global Christianity and secularization, highlighting their strategic efforts to empower and equip European churches. The Reverse Mission Conference held in Porto, Portugal, on September 19–20, 2025, is analyzed as a case study of how reverse mission is no longer theoretical but being concretely realized through denominational partnerships.
