REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF MISSIONS 701.07

Leon Erwi n, Treasurer MISSION REPORT This office leads in and promotes the 30,000 Movement in Missouri and Iowa. Goals have been carefully and prayerfully set with a view to the needs and to our resources. Consequently we have been able each year to exceed the constantly increasing goals. The goal for .next year, 1964, is 154 new churches and mission stations. The goal is entirely reasonable and possible. Whether we reach it or not will depend entirely upon the degree of dedication of our churches and our people. Our associational superintendents of missions and our pastors are real izing increasingly the importance of this reaching out in every kind of ministry possible that can be used to reach the people: Mission Vacation Bible Schools, ExtensIOn Bible Classes, Home Fellowship Hour, new Sunday Schools, Institutional Missions of all kinds. Iowa reports in Iowa at this time 3 churches, 19 mission chapels, and 15 institutional and Home Fellowship Hour missions. There seem to be immediate prospects for three or four more mission chapels that will eventually grow into churches. Church membership in Iowa now exceeds 1900. Per capita giving in Iowa among the membership I"st year waS $91.40 as compared to $52.29 for the Missouri Baptist Convention. Mission gifts per capita, $11 . 17 as compared with $10.17 for the Missouri Baptist Convention. Cooperative World Missions Program gifts were $7.54 per capita as compared with $5.50 for the Missouri Baptist Convention. Baptism ratio to membership was 1 to 6 1/2 compared with 1 to 26 for the Missouri Baptist Convention. We are so glad to be able to give this glowing report for our brethren in Iowa. We as committee on missions would recommend that each church conduct a mission revival this coming year. Barry County Baptists have purchased a tent to aid· this kind of work. This past year five of our churches have conducted such meetings with the results of fifteen conversions. Hugh Higgs, Chairman 11

BAPTIST HILL ASSEMBLY ANNUAL REPORT The Baptists of Southwest Missouri are increasing their support of the ministry of Baptist Hill Assembly. There is clear indication of a renewed interest on the part of associations, churches and individuals. , The general assembly week, held June 24-28,1963, enrolled 22')'0 more than a year ago. A total of 733 enrolled from 18 associations. There were 170 camping on the hill during the week . 2065 meals 'were served. Dr. Samuel Maddox, St. Joseph; Dr. Lavell Seats, Midwestern Seminary, Kansas City; and Mercer Shaw of Tulsa, all served most helpfully on the progra"l.
BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST
facilities this summer (1963) showed a total enrollment of 1961. Camps and enrollment are as follows: Christian-Stone- Taney - 105; Barry - 206; Nevada - 215; Dade-Barton - 204; Shoal Creek - 275; Lawrence - 138; Greene - 435; Spring River - 383. These camps reported a total of 61 conversions, 115 rededications, 59 for sepcial service, and 13 other decisions. The total registration for the summer was 2694. The ch~rches gave a total of $3,385.88 for the year ending June22, 1963. ThiS amount came for 28 churches, three more than last year. Rentals from camps amounted to $2,421.29. Total income for the year was $8,477.31. The assembly is operating "in the black". A $500 note was paid off this past year. In addition, $200 received from the sale of a cabin has been invested in the Missouri 'Baptist Building Fund. It is hoped this will be the start of a building program for Baptist Hill. The faithful support of the churches is the life-line of the assembly. This must be increased if the facilities are to be properly repaired and eventually replaced. A few dollars per month from the more than 300 churches in the territory served by Baptist Hill would more than take care of operation and building needs. The assembly appreciates the following donations: $400 from Spring River W.M.U. for shower and lavatory facilities in girls' dormitory; Newport and Hessee Builders of Springfield for two cook stoves; a Minden Mines couple for a good used washing machine and rinsing tub; Ralph Bruce of Joplin for a bush hog attachment for the tractor; Mrs. A. H. Garner of Joplin for refinishing signs leading to the grounds; labor donated by people from Shoal Creek, Spring River, Dade, Barton, Barry, and Lawrence; tea towels by ladies from Barry, Dade, Barton and Nevada Ass'n. A new coffee maker and an ice maker were purchased. Other improvements have been made. The 1964 assembly will be held June 22-26. Dr. Sterling Price of St. Louis will be the preacher. Officers of the assembly: H. H. Jennison, Carthage, president; M. E. Fitzpatrick, Monett, program vice-president; J. Merle Bandy, Neosho, publicity; C. A. McClure, Neosho, secretary; G. D. Parrack, Mt. Vernon, treasurer.

BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION REPORT ON BAPTIST COLLEGES AND SEMINARIES OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTI ST CONVENTION
Southern Baptist Colleges and seminaries continue to grow in numbers and in enrollment. During the 1962-63 year there were four new colleges opened. This makes a total of seventy three schools, six seminaries and a joint operation with the National Baptist of another seminary, thirty five senior colleges, nineteen junior colleges, seven academies, and five Bible schools. Two of the junior colleges are in the process of becoming senior colleges. Baptist colleges now enroll about one in five of the Baptist students in college and the ratio will probably be about one in ten by 1970. More attention will need to be given by church leaders in enrolling Baptist students with leadership potential s if Baptists are 'not to be hampered in their progress in Kingdom work. Enrollment of students have reached a record high for 1962-63 of 80,987 students compared to 77,143 in 1961-62 school year. The shortage of qual ified teachers continues to be the number one problem of the administrators of our schools. Missouri Baptist support three colleges: Southwest Baptist College, Bol ivar, Hannibal-LaGrange ,at Hannibal. These are both junior colleges, and William Jewell of Liberty, a senior college.

BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION BAPTIST STUDENT UNION REPORT ' In the Department of Student Work of the Missouri Baptist Convention, M. Elgin Lee is secretary and Betty Baker is office secretary. In our 25 Baptist Student Unions, 3,849 college students were enlisted and 150 were won to Christ. With some duplications, over 1,600 received full college credit for Bible courses in our six Baptist student centers adjacent to our state colleges and universities. Much of the credit for the progress of the student work in Missouri goes to the campus directors of Student Activities. Approximately four thousand dollars were sacrificially given by Missouri Baptist college students to send five summer students to the Philippines, Nigeria, Indonesia, Tennessee Work Camp and Missouri Baptist Children's Home. The most important future State BSU meetings and events are: State Student Convention, Liberty, November 8-10; Student Night at Christmas, December 29; BSU Spring Retreat, Windermere, April 24-26; Ridgecrest Student Week, June 4-10; Glorieta, Student Week, August 20-26.

STATE MISSION REPORT
The migrant mission ministry of home mission board changed its emphasis to a church centered approach. Missionaries have sold their trailer houses and bave taken up permanent residences to serve I imited areas. A record 385churches were served by church loans fund. The division of evangelism has led S.B. to baptize 381,510 during the year. During 1962 mission agency appointed 414 missionaries however there is still an urgent need for missionaries. Major changes are being made inmethods to inform baptists about home mission work. Glenn Lauderdale
Winning lost people in Missouri (over 2 million of them in our state) and throughout the world waits on an effective promotion and development of evangel ism in the churches - that is a part of State Missions. Last year State Missions helped build new churches and missions all over Missouri; assisted associations with mission programs reaching into every county In the state; supported 16 pastors and churches in Iowa' contributed to the salaries of 37 district missionaries and 65 missionar; pastors; supported 4colleges, 3 benevolent institutions, and 7 student centers' paid one-third of the Protection Plans dues of about 1,100 Missouri pas~ tors, camed out missionary work at two of Missouri's big mil itary bases; gave $15,000 to the work of the Christian Civic Foundation and Protestants and Others United for Separation of Church and State. Since there is much to be done in our state, every penny of the Annual State M,ss,ons Offering goal of $125,000 is urgently needed. This demands the prayerful concern and loyal support of every Bapti st church in our association. Jess Higgs HOME MISSION REPORT The home mission program has not reached all its goals this year as well as all other years previous, but it has made great strides towards these goal s for which we are very grateful. This year we have a total of 5,000 new churches and missions started as a result of the conventions effort to organize 30,000 missions and churches by 1964. The home mission board has led Southern Baptists to respond to the needs of Latin American refugees. Winter and spring floods wrecked several churches in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. The home missions council has given $5,000 to help restore the losses. Around 850 Cubans have been resettled through Southern Baptist churches. Thousands have been assisted with food and clothing. Home missions reports 738 Southern Baptist ministers serving as chaplains in military hospitals. The home mission board has enlarged it's ministry of survey and special study. Also new personel has been employed for the city mission department. More than 2,100 missionaries now serve with the home mission board. These missionaries report 48,700 professions of faith last year. There were. 595 summer students who served as workers. Superintendents of miSSions of associations gathered for the first time for national meeting at Gulf Shore Assembly for a study of denominational problems. 17
REPORT ON FOREIGN MISSIONS The Southern Baptist Convention now has 1,685foreign missionaries. 176 of these were added in 1962 and from January to May of 1963. At the end ofl962 there were 790 urgent requests for new missionaries. Southern Baptists now have mi ssionaries under appointment to 53 pol itical entities. In 1962 and the early part of 1963 Southern Baptist foreign missions reached out to five additional countries. Mission work is carried on through a varying number of institutions on each mission field - churches, schools, hospitals, publications plants, good will centers. All are interactive and the goal of each is evangelization. There are 2,701 national pastors, 3,783 churches, 6,850 chapels, which report 433,379 enrolled in Sunday School, 35,509 baptisms, and 487,943 church members . In our 1,060 Baptist schools there are enrolled 169,178 students. New educational buildings were dedicated this year in Costa Rica, Brazil. Our Medical mission institutions include 18 hospitals and 46 clinics, with a total of 1,156 beds. They served 328,898 patients during the year. Our largest mission publications are located in EI Paso, Texas (Spanish) Rio de Janerio, Brazil (Portugeese) Hong Kong (Chinese). There are 127 people work ing at the Board's home office in Richmond, Va. The Board's magazine, "The Commission" reported an average circulation of 90,000 last year. Total contributions of Southern Baptists for foreign missions amounted to $19,673,232.93 during 1962. Funds from the 1962 Lottie Moon Christmas offering totaled $10,323,591.69. ThB advance section of the Cooperative Program was not reached in 1962. It is our strong hope and expectation that the Southern Baptist of Barry County will do all within their power to help reach the 1963 Convention Budget for foreign missions.

BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION REPORT ON THE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM We must come to understand the true basis of our cooperative work or lose it. We will not be able to go much further in Cooperative Program support until we have gone much deeper in understanding. The fulfillment of th i s hope demands a greater depth in our approach to the Cooperati ve Program. Does the Cooperative Program of world missions represent only a clever means which practical men have devised for raising money? Or, is it really a vital faith in action? The Cooperative Program of world missions is more than money. But if it dealt only with a Baptist's use of his pocketbook, it still would be of theological concern, for theology is concerned with every act in which faith expresses itself. When the Cooperative Program is not rooted in clear and sound convictions, it degenerates into shallow activism. It becomes only another technique for raising money for assorted causes. In essence this plan is Southern Baptists practicing their religion. It is not simply a department of our ,work nor a sphere of activity . It undergirds our Southern Baptist Conception of the Great Commission. That conception is manifested in our attitudes and actions. For many Southern Baptists the Cooperative Program is human thanksgiving for divine goodness and mercy. It is partnership with Christ and fellow Baptists in fulfilling the purpose of God in the world. It is one method by which an individual Baptist expresses his financial stewardsh ip. As New Testament believers we are "stewards of the manifold grace of God." The living center of our stewardship is Christ himself. Therefore, our interest in the Cooperative Program becomes a matter of our personal relationship to Him, not the support of impersonal institutions and causes by impersonal percentages and budgets. By support of the Cooperative Program we acknowledge that the whole of our mission work is more important than any of its parts. We recognize that its parts become more sign ificant when they are properly related to one another. This plan helps us to see all the causes as a whole. No longer are certain causes neglected because they are less colorful than others. All needs now are studied by committees which recommend a fair proportion of support. For Cooperative Program support there are such rewards as the privilege of sharing in the fulfillment of God's own purpose. There is the abiding worth of works performed out of grateful and self forgetting love. We urge every church in our association to increase their percentage of giving through the Cooperative Program. Respectfully submitted, Tim Larkin, Chairman 19
BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION STEWARDSHIP REPORT " Stewardship is the method by which God uses bel ievers in His program of saving a lost world. The 'good news' of the gospel is evangelism and missions. Stewardship is the one broad term that challenges the believer to use everything he is, has and does." The method by which Southern Baptist uses to win the world to Christ is the Cooperative Program. But out of the 29 churches in our Association, there were 10 that gave less than $100 to world missions through the Cooperative Program last year. And four gave nothing to Associational missions, and another 8 that gave less than $100. For those that gave, was God pleased with the amount given? A new program entitled "Growth in Christian Stewardship" which has been especially designed for churches under 300 in membership is available to help churches in their stewardship for world missions. The Christian Life Revivals are being used effectively also in leading our people to get a vision of a lost world. I would recommend that each church increase their cooperative program giving and the giving in the Association. Respectively submitted, H. Everett Anthony
REPORT ON CHRISTIAN CIVIC FOUNDATION The Christian Civic Foundation of Missouri is under the leadership of Dr. O. R. Shields, Executive Director. The Christian Civic Foundation is an incorporated agency chartered to assist the citizens of the state, in their homes, their churches, schools and civic organizations and industry in solving the problems created by the use of beverage alcohol and related social evils. As to the Organization, the Foundation has set up "councils" throughout the state . A council may represent a county, a city, or a church. At the present time the Foundation has 109 such councils. A council consists of at least three elective officers, chairman, co-chairman and secretary. The Christian Civic Foundation works through various departments such as: 1. Education: The heart of the Foundation's program is education, because it bel ieves that education is the only firm foundation for any great social reform. Accordingly, its aim is to reveal the truth to the people of

Missouri on the subject of alcohol. It seeks to accompl ish this through the printed page, public address, professionally produced motion pictures, film strips, radio, television, personal interviews, highway signs and, most important of all, teaching in the pub I ic schools. 2. Legislation: Believing that beverage alcohol is a social problem of the first magnitude, the Foundation encourages the people to deal with it through legislation as well as through education. It holds that legislation is the method by which we retain the gains made by education. 3. Rehabilitation: The Foundation also promotes a department of rehabil itation, seeking to help all who come to it. The Foundation offers a distinctive program of hel p to the alcohol ic by means of Christian counsel ing. The merit of this program has demonstrated itself in a high rate of recovery of those who have come with alcoholic problems . We would invite our Churches in Barry County to consider the Christian Civic Foundation as a budget item and the amount given will be appreciated no matter how small .
important Investment Committee is composed of Harry Kay, Oswald Franz and K. J. O'Banion. . Funds invested by the Foundation for the various instituti ons total $1,626,122 . 00. The average earning on this amount was 4.087,. The earnings figure would be considerably higher were it not for the fact that about one-third of the investments, by a long standing commitment, is held in government bonds bearing a low interest rate. In many cases the return is as high as 67,. At the present time two estates are in probate. One of these, the Spencer Groff Estate, will be by far the largest gift in the history of the Foundation. Because of the generous spirit of Spencer Groff and his special interest in the Children's Home and Christian education, these causes will benefit greatly from his large estate. His will provides that the Children's Home will receive the income on his property. This will be good now, but will by no means support the whole program of the Home. Actually the present income beginning in 1964 will just about meet the annual budget deficit of the Children's Home. In the future as the property values appreciate in the estate, the income to the Home will also increase. For the present, the requirements of the Home's budget must continue to be met through the Cooperative Program and the special gifts of Missouri Baptists.

Southern Baptists support the work because the Bible Society serves mission work and Southern Baptist missionaries depend on the Society for Scri.ptures they need for their people. Southern Baptist churches believe in the missionary importance of giving to the American Bible Society. In 1958 and 1961 Southern Baptist led all denominations in gifts to the American Bible Society; but in 1962 the Methodist gifts ranked first and Southern Baptist second. The help of every Southern Baptist Church is needed. Has your church given yet? Every church can give at least these amounts yearly: Smaller churches - $10 to $60; Larger churches - $60 to $300.

REPORT OF THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE REPORT The American Bible Society is an active partner of Southern Baptists in the missionary task of sharing Christ with the whole world, a task which calls for the widest possible distribution of the Scriptures. People must have the Bible because it presents Jesus Christ, the one hope of men and nations . Each person must have the Bible in his own language because it speaks to his heart as no other I anguage can speak. In most countries people cannot afford even the cost of printing the Scriptures. The Bible is the essential tool of missions and evangelism . The missionary uses it in all his work. The Bible itself is a missionary. It can go where the human missionary cannot go. It can stay on after he must leave and keep on speaking to a persons heart. The American Bible Society helps missionaries to translate the Bible, publishes without note or comment and distributes without profit, usually below cost. For the blind it supplies scriptures in Braille and other raised letter systems and on talking book records. During 1962 the American Bible Society rejoiced that some part of the Bible has been publ
The "Word and Way" is owned and published by the Missouri Baptist Convention. It serves the 1,802 churches and the 470,000 members thereof throughout the state of Missouri . It is printed each week by the Missouri Baptist Press, so the entire production and mailing is under the control of the editor and the staff. The paper was started in 1895 by Dr. S. M. Brown, who served as its editor until his death. Later, members of his family published the paper until January 1, 1946, when Missouri Baptists purchased it for their own official journal. At the time, the circulation was 17,000. Today the paper goes into more than 65,000 homes. It is estimated that at least 150,000 people read some part of its contents each week. The paper publ ishes news about the work of Missouri Baptists at home and around the world. In addition, it carries news releases about Southern Baptist Convention activities and religious life throughout the world. There are also discussions on timely subjects, articles of a devotional nature, and doctrinal treatises which are deSigned to instruct the readers in the fundamental tenets of Southern Baptists. There are three subscription rates. Single subscriptions are $2 per year, payable in advance; clubs of five or more sent together at the same time are $1.75 each, payable in advance. Churches which send the paper to the famil ies in the church pay 12 cents per month for each subscription, payable monthly. The Church Families Plan is the best of the three. Inthis arrangement, the church sends the paper to the families in its membership and pays the nominal cost out of the church budget or by some other means which may be
27
28
BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION provided. The "Word and Way" ,ends the church a statement the first of each month showing the number of subscriptions on the roll and the cost for that month at 12 cents each. Advantages of this plan are that names can be dropped or added at all times and therefore the roll is kept up to date. To introduce the paper to the churches whose families have not been receiving the paper, the "Word and Way" makes two special offers: (1) The paper will be sent to all the families in any Missouri Baptist church, which requests it, two months without cost or obligation. It is assumed that sometime during the two months, or at the end of the period, the church will vote on continuing these subscriptions, the church making provision for the cost, which is only 12 cents per month each. (2) If the church prefers, and will make provision for sending the p~per to families in the membership for at least one year, the "Word and Way" will be sent free of charge the first three months. This means that the families receive the papers 12 months for the cost of nine. This applies only to the first year. In either proposition all that is needed is that the church send a list of the names and addresses of the famil ies to the "Word and Way", Missouri Baptist.Building, Jefferson City, Missouri.

MINISTERS RETIREMENT REPORT In the Southern Baptist Convention, 4870 of the churches are in the Plan. In Missouri, 5870 of the churches are in. You will see from the list of churches in your association that 4370 are in. You may be able to influence some of the others to participate. We are promoting the idea of getting all of the churches to pay the full 1070. Of the churches in Missouri that are in the Plan, 7070 are paying the whole amount. This is a real benefit to the pastor. For churches that pay over $4,000 annual salary, we suggest that they pay on the whole salary and put the amount above $4,000 in either Variable Annuity or Age Security. This will then assure a man a retirement income on a proportionate basts to the salary he receives instead of being based on a ceiling of $4,000. There are 14 churches in the protective plan. Some are in the Social Security plan.

BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION rooms. These expansions will cost about $300,000. 11,300 patients were admitted to the hospital, 1,900 babies born, and 14,000 out-patients received treatment. Chaplain John Galloway reports that about 25'7', of the patients are Baptist, 14'7', Catholic, 10'7', Christian Church, 13'7', Methodist; 19'7', other Protestant faith, 8'7', Presbyterian; 5'7', Lutheran; 2'7', Episcopal ian; 2'7', Jewish; 1'7', no church preference. Churches are notified when their members are admitted to the Hospital. MISSOURI BAPTIST CHILDREN'S HOME Each cottage of the home has been made a complete home unit, and the central dining room has been closed, thus giving the home a more hamel ike atmosphere. In answer to request from members of Southern Baptist Churches in Iowa, the home will place a child for adoption with these families of that State. A Senior girl of the home was voted the most talented one in her class of 164, and a junior boy made the highest grade in his classon the national Merit test. 4 Seniors graduated, and we have 6 students in College. The past year 432 children have been in our total program-. In this number 174 are in foster homes, 59 in pre-adoption homes, and 57 adoptions were completed. Thanksgiving offering was good, this offering is very necessary to the home. Cooperative program receipts are the largest source of income and amounts to about 24'7', of the total. Birthday offerings are the 3rd largest item of operational funds, and our churches should make it an important part of their program. Wills were made to the home in the total amount of $12,963.88. If not de?ignated these funds are divided between our Endowment program and operational budget. The health of the children has been good, and your prayers and support has made our care of many children possible.
Since the last meeting of the State Convention the 4 top floors of the Hospital have been completed giving us 150 new beds, bringing our total beds to 300. We have added a" Self Care" nursing unit, and intensive care unit, thus furnishing facilities accordin~ to the seriousness of the patients illness. A thirty-five bed children's floor offers better care for the child, the convenience of the child's parents . This unit has been greatly improved this year. Our Women's Auxiliary has 800 members, and raised $25,000 to furnish and equip the children's floor. Over 400 volunteers from this group provided 33,000 hours of service helping the Hospital. The Honorary Board of Governors (men's group) has 350 members, and raised over $10,000 to buy technical equipment for the Hospital. Our first X-Ray Technology student graduated this year. Affiliation with the K. C. School System Vocational Training Program, we have aprogram to train Licensed Practical Nurses. Twenty-three are enrolled . We plan to expand the Laboratory Dept., X-Ray Dept . , and operating
71 aged Baptist were added to the home this year. The largest of any year in our 50 year history. All our folks are Baptist. There are 146 of them, and their average ages are more than 83 years. Ours is the oldest, and the 2nd largest of the 14 homes in the Southern

THE HOME FOR AGED BAPTIST
BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN t1!1ISSIONARYBAPTIST ASSOCIATION Baptist Convention . Through the years the capacity of the home to serve has been increased and extended. A new building has been completed, and the entire debt is a little over $50,000. The most able have been given rooms in the new building . Our staff has 50 full time employees. 30 in the nursing department, 9 in food service, 11 do the office work, public relations, beauty parlor, farm, and maintenance. The spiritual life of our folk are nurtured by regular preaching, prayer meetings, Sunday School, and other types of services. God has blessed our work financially . We received $75,050.79 from the cooperative program. This is slightly more than last year. Endowments, receipts from applicants entering the home, wills, and special gifts account for the balance necessary to carryon our work. Operating cost for the year was $172, 90 . 73 . Major repairs and improvements were $1,773.12, making a total of $173,863.85. This places the cost of caring for our folk per month $120.75. In view of the large number requiring constant nursing care, we feel this is a very conservative figure. It is well below the ·cost in most homes giving a comparable service. Any extra funds were added to the Building Fund.

Submitted by J. O. Adams REPORT OF RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE We, the resolutions committee, respectfully submit the following items for immediate consideration and throughout the associational year: (1) We express our most hearty thanks and appreciation to the Wheaton First Baptist Church for their thoughtful and commodious entertainment of the Barry County Associational Meeting, the 1963 session . (2) In view of Hie Wide spread rumor that we are lOSing our Baptist membership to other churches we do most Sincerely urge a more thorough understanding of our Baptist doctrines and teachings through our pulpits, study courses on our doctrines and our homes. (3) In as much as such a large number of our Baptist young people are going to state colleges and universities, let us arouse ourselves as Baptists to the point where we admonish our young people of the importance and benefits of attending our own Baptist schools of higher learning. Bro. Hugh Higgs, Chairman Alva Davis, Member

BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
REPORT ON EVANGELISM Reaching people for Christ should be our objective, our aim, and our greatest desire. We cannot overlook the mission of the Church as being that of soul winning . Temperature of Evangel ism is cl imbing throughout our Convention as we make plans for the Jubilee Year of 1964. The Convention Wide Evangelistic Conference in Dallas, Texas was well attended with approximately 10,000 people registered. This was the· first meeting of this type to be held on a Convention Wide basis. The year of 1964 promises to be a great year for Revivals and for the promotion of Evangelism resulting in the greatest harvest of souls in the history of our denomination. We are praying that every church in our association will have a "burning zeal" to participate in our Jubilee Revivals scheduled for the period of March 29 - April 12, 1964. This is our opportunity. Will we make the most of it? However, we are not without great concern. A report from the office of Evangelism reveals: "Last year's record reveals atotal of 18,033 (1962) new converts bapti zed compared to 18,603 for the year before (1961) or a decrease of 570 baptisms. The total net membership gain in Missouri for the year was 9,859." A closer look at our association will brighten our hopes as we report an increase of 42 baptisms. Baptisms for 1962 were 118 and as reported this year baptisms were 160. Four churches reported no baptisms. May the Holy Spirit set our hearts aflame and reveal to Pastor and Church the tremendous responsibility that is ours to present the message of our Lord to our community. Robert E. Vaughn Chairman of Evangel ism
