Why worry about the lost? If God wants the heathen converted, let Him do it!
Maybe the SBC is seeing less passion as it becomes more Calvinist...

Calvinism does not absolve anyone from the great commission.
Aknowledgement of God’s omniscience reduces one’s own duties to love others in no way.

Let me also add to MrEdd and point out that it is solely the work of God that converts the heathen soul. To say that any of my words or works does it takes the glory away from God. He may work through me, but it is still God's work and not mine.

It seems to me you misunderstand Calvinism. God has told US how to do it!
His predetermined method is found in Romans 10 14How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
The elect are saved as a result of faithful, obedient Christians preaching the Word of God.
