BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION The enlarging work of the Missouri Baptist Foundation is reflected in the yearly increase. Total Assets have increased from $1,729,486.00 in 1964 to $4,205,214.00 in 1067. Total income has increased from $121,997.75 in 1964 to $185,425.82 in 1966.

Another church year is now history. Many opportunities that were ours in the year just past may be forever closed to us, but there will be many new doors that will open to us in the year ahead. May we each be ready and willing to enter when the door of opportunity opens to us. Now please allow me once more to express my thanks and appreciation to each associational officer, to each of the department beads and their staff of workers , for your cooperation, for your prayers and words of encouragement. Now ma;y we enter the new church year with a greater determination to seek the Divine Guidance and Power of the Holy Spirit, and to fully cooperate in all of our Associational work and our world-wide mission program. Let us pray that Barry Coun1;y Baptist will be 100% enlisted in the Crusade d the Americas, March 16/29, 1969.

The Missouri Building Fund now reports assets of well over $4,000,000.00. This figure has been reached through the cooperation of Missouri Southern Baptist people, who have invested once, twice, and many of them scores of times. The money that has been invested has made possible fifty two loans to Baptist churches and missions in Missouri and Iowa since June of 1965. The loans for this period amounted to $1,402,000.00. Our goal for 1967 are for 5,000 individuals to invest some sum of money in the Building FlU1d and for $5,000,000.00 in assets so as to make at least $100,000.00 a month available to leod to our Baptist churches. To achieve the goals we suggest that each church and association elect a Building Fund promotional chairman who will keep a file of Building Fund promotional materials and the literature be distributed periodically to all members and. friends in each church. We are suggesting that all idle church and associational flU1ds be invested in the Building Fund of the Missouri Baptist Convention.

ANNUAL REPORT MISSOURI BAPTIST FOUNDATION F or the Year Ending April 30, 1967 The Cooperative Program is the main support of all our Baptist work. It is the most efficient missions program ever devised. Additional support, of increasing importance is coming from the Missouri Baptist Foundation-rather, it is coming from Baptist people d. Missouri through the Missouri Baptist Foundation. The endowment or trust funds of most of the Missouri Baptist institutions are handled by the Missouri Baptist Foundation. The Foundation offers support to many Baptist families each year by assisting them and advising them about willS, trusts and estate analysis. Many mission causes are helped by Baptist who have set up trust funds while living, or through their willS, in behalf of definite mission causes. These trust funds are held and managed by the Missouri Baptist Foundation. -12-

HOME MISSIONS REPORT

The United States is the most influential nation in the world. It is the nation whose churches provide the major thrust for the spread of the gospel _world-wide. Amazing advances in communication provide unparalleled opportunities for sharing the Gospel, but they also channel to the world information regarding our spiritual and moral weaknesses. In such a Situation, every effort to Christianize the United States takes on global dimensions. At this point in hwnan history, home missions must be a major concern of Southern Baptists. A MISSIONARY FORCE of over 2,100 assists Southern Baptists in their ,efforts to bring men to God through Jesus Christ in a period characterized by national and international tensions, inflationary economy, growing population moral problems, and mounting social changes. This force was reinforced

On May 13, 1925, the Southern Baptist Convention created the Cooperative Prngram of Southern Baptist. It has been used since then in helping Baptists share Chrtst with the whole world. Cooperative Program receipts for Southern Baptist Convention causes during the first six months of 1967 show a 8.7 per cent increase. During the. month of June, Cooperative Program receipts totaled over $2 million.

Harry Moore FOREIGN MlSSIONS REPORT

Southern Baptist missionaries were under appoinbnent to 65 countries or political entities on May 1, 1967. At the close of 1966 the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board had an overseas missionary staff of 2,208. This included 65 missionary associates, seven special project nurses, and 92 missionary journeymen. Appointments during the year totaled 207 (131 career, 20 associates, 48 journeymen 3 special project medical persons, and 5 reappointed). Between January ~d May, 1967, 45 more were added. At the year's end there were 4,707 churches (3,076 self-supporting), 6,542 mission points, and 3,904 national pastors related to our Southern Baptist work. These reported 51,680 baptisms, 528,958 church members, and 604,487 enrolled in Sunday School. China, closed to missionaries at present, was last estimated as having 392 churches and 123,000 members related to our mission work. -14-

The American Bible Society shares the concern for worldwide missions which Southern Baptists are expressing in plans for the Crusade cl. the Americas and World Missions Year in 1969. The entire program of Bible Socie1y work is fotmded on these basic missionary principles: 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 language can speak. But, there is a worldwide shortage of bibles, because in most countries, people cannto afford even the cost of printing the Scriptures. Because the Bible Society serves mission work-and Southern Baptist missionaries depend on the Socie1y for Scriptures they need for their people-Southern Baptists believe in the missionary importance of giving to the American Bible Socie1y. Southern Baptist churches can lead, even in per capita gifts, if every church will give. Has your church given this year? Here are suggestions, based on what many churches are doing: Every church can give at least these amounts each year: SmaIler churches $10 to $60 -15-

These patients come to us from all walks of life, religious background, and with physical and mental ailments. Some have relatives who care and are concerned about them. Others do not have anyone who really care. Lacoba is Baptist institution dedicated to the purpose of carirl: for Senior Citizens who have reached the stage in life when they need care that cannot be given in the family home. Lacoba is a Mission of Baptist that is second only to the preaching of the Gospel. Before Jesus commissioned the church He made arrangements for John to care for his mother. Then after that great discourse on the Judgement He said, "In as much as ye have done it unto the least d. these, Ye have done it unto Me. Matt. 25: 34-46. The first disturbance in the Church was because elderly widows were being neglected. One d. the greatest ministries in our day is caring for those who cared for us. At present we have 35 patients.

When the Radio & Television Commission moved to Fort Worth twelve years ago, it came with a single weekly half-hour radio program, ("The Baptist Hour"), an irregular quarter-hour radio devotional, and big plans for a television series. The growth of its ministry since 1955 has been very rapid. "The Baptist Hour" is still an important partof the Commission's work. It's on 538 stations. Thanks to Southern Baptists and others . In addition to "The Baptist Hour", the following Radio programs are produced and distributed: "Master Control" - a 3O-minute variety inspirational program for the whole family heard on nearly 500 stations. The International Sunday School Lesson - a quarter-hour of helpful insights into the weekly lesson. -17-

meet today's varied program needs. Foreign Lanugage Broadcasts on 429 5 tations includes Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Polish, Chinese and Navajo. Television audiences run into the millions. The Commission works on

three major networks. A new series called "Jot" is one of the finest children's programs ever produced. It is a five-minute color series to be released sometime this year. "The Answer" is still the best known television production and is on 120 stations. It is entertaining and inspirational. Of all religious time available last year, Southern Baptist were given more than 20% of it. When one remembers that 97% of American homes have radios and 93% have television sets, it is a challenge before the commission and its' staff to communicate the good news to these waiting millions. Leon Erwin STATE MISSIONS

State Missions means evangelism, Educational and benevolent missions in Missouri. All types of mission work depends on churches becoming stronger in their organizations, stronger and better schools, student centers, hospitals, and any other aspect of mission life, so the home base may remain strong and reach out to the 2,100,000 list and unchurched people in Missouri. All missionary work advances with the state are underwritten by the state. Outside of Missouri, a chief interest in the state of Iowa, where 19 pastors and churches were supported. last year. In addition, state missions provided full support for the 23 phases of our program working out of the Baptist building in Jefferson City. Since this state mission program cannot fully met by the Cooperative Program, a special offering is asked for each year. There is a great need for more new churches and mission stations, more aid to mission pastors, and many other special interests under consideration, but this year special emphasis is being placed upon our colleges with 68% of the offering being given to them to help their expanding service to more students.

vidual can sing a little. Many play one or more instruments. Every church has some kind of a Music Ministry. Many experiences while visiting other churches will reveal there is at least congregational Singing. This is one aspect of a Music Ministry. To be sure, in many cases, it is not not as good as one would desire. But it can be improv~. God expects improvement. Many churches have accepted the challenge toward this advancement. The result is effective Music Ministries. It is amazing what even a little training can do for the person who has just a very limited ability in music. It reveals, sometimes for the very first time, that he can make music. It kindles the fire d desire. It leads to more training. Effective October 1, 1967, the "Church Music Ministry Achievement Guide" is to used. This guide will enable churches to have a Music Ministry that 1. Is based on teaching of the Bible. 2. Provides for worshipful music experiences of the members. 3. Contributes to the objectives of the church. 4. Seeks to meet church and community needs. 5. Provides music and musicians for church organizations. 6. Has music groups which meet regularly for rehearsal. 7. Discovers, recruits, trains, and develops its leaders and provides continued guidance for them. 8. Keeps an accurate record of its work and accomplishments. The Associational Music Ministry Program will be geared to assist churches in establishing new Music Ministries, adopt a Music Ministry Enrollment Plan, set up aMusic Ministry Council, encourage a Music Ministry Service Plan where a church with a good Music Ministry assists another church in organizing its Music Ministry. Missouri is divided into twelve areas. Our AreaDirector is Larry Bradley, minister of music with the First Baptist Church, Aurora. In 1968, dates for the two music weeks at Windermere will be July 31August 4 for Adults and August 14-18 for the Youth. In Barry County, 11 churches report having a choir. Of these, Cassville First has reported monthly to the Associational Music Director. Their director reports five graded choirs. Musically, Jay W. Borders SOUTHERN BAPTIST PROTECTION PROGRAM

The steady rise in cost of living has caused a pressing need for broader benefits for retirement, disability and death, so much so, the Annuity Board has created a new program to improve them. The new program will be called the Southern Baptist Protection Prngram. It will be offered once all state conventions have approved it. The proposed starting date is July. 1967. The new program will offer substantial increase in retirement, disability and death benefits at no extra cost. It -19-

BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION will provide additional benefits for disability, new benefits for children, education of children and dependent parent. These extra benefits are in Plan "A". The new protection program incorporates the three plans into one certificate, which formerly required separate certificates for each plan. The three plans are: Southern Baptist Protection Plan, which is now Plap. "An Age Security Plan, now called Plan "Bu and Variable Benefit Plan, now Plan H C" . Two current benefits will be greatly improved. Disability benefits, previously set at $900 a year minimwn, will be as much as the amount a person would have received if he retired at age 65. Widow benefits will be the full 4Il% of the amount a person would have received if he had lived to retire at age 65. Previously widow benefits have been on a step-up formula taking six years to reach the 40% maximwn. Also there will be no increase in widow dues after age 60 as was required in the basic plan. In additon to the substantial increases in benefits, the new program also will simplify participation. A member will hold only one certificate for all his retirement, widow and disability benefits .. Neither will he have to receive a new certificate when he transfers from one state to another as is now required. Each individual church will be encouraged to put a minimwn of 10% of the minister's total salary into the program for both your pastor and his family. In 1966, more than $4,256.244 was paid in age retirement. Disability or widow benefits. As ci December 31, 1966, some 1,492 persons had joined Plan "A" of the program. A total of 1&,328 _churches were providing the protection program for their ministers and staff members. Of our 29 churches in Barry COWlty only about half of our churches are providing protection for their pastors through the Ministers Retirement Program j We recommend that each church see to it that your pastor has this protection at your earliest convenience.

submitted by Carl Buchanan, Director Jess Higgs SUNDAY SCHOOL REPORT

The Sunday School has certain tasks to perform for a church. These are: (1) Teach the biblical revelation (2) Lead in reaching all prospects for the church (3) Lead all church members to worship, witness, learn and. minister daily (4) Provide organization and leadership for special projects of the church (5) Provide and interpret information regarding the work of the church and. the denomination. It is to be noted thatthe first three of these tasks are given to no other organization. The tasks which a SUnday School must perform make the Sunday School foundational. The life of a church is bound up in teaching, studying and understanding the Bible, reaching out in love to all prospects, and leading its members to perform the flUlctions of a church. Without a strong Sunday School these tasks would be most difficult to achieve. A church therefore must see to it that its Sunday School is strong. State Vacation Bible School Clinico In February 784 persons were registered at First Baptist Church, Jefferson City at this annual meeting. These came from 76 of our associations plus Iowa.

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION The purpose of Woman's Missionary Union is to teach missions and help people become involved in mission actions. This purpose has been stated heretofore. It has not changed. Yet, it seems vital that in reporting we first state our purpose. Woman's Missionary Union is an educational organization. We C3lU10t get away from this statement because before we can become involved in an action, we must !mow the needs. Another way cl seeing the picture is to list the four tasks cl Woman's Missionary Union, namely: Teach missions. . Task I: Task n: Lead persons to participate in missions. Task In: Provide organizations and leadership for special mission projects of the church. Task IV: Provide and interpret information regarding the work cl the church and the denomination. The function of Missouri Woman's Missionary Union is to help the local unions fulfill their purpose for being. Every local union should seek to help its church fulfill her objectives and goals. Coming together as organizational units should strengthen local units. This is why we report the following: Annual WMU Meeting, MexiCO, registered 1,482; 3 Junior GA Queens' Days, 320; 3 YWA Conventions, 892; 24 Area Fall Clinics, 1,981; 2 Intermediate GA Queens' Courts, 668. Looking Forward to the Future Mission Action is the organized effort of a church to minister and to witness to persons of special need or circumstances. "Mission" and "Action" are the two key words that are leading to a new day in our churches, and as we, as an organization, accept the challenge to become involved, the future is bright. Woman's Missionary Societies and Yotulg Woman's Auxiliaries will form mission action groups to minister to people of special needs. Woman's Missionary Union and Baptist Men will work in a parallel missions position in. the church. Mission Action groups will enlist people in our churches to help in this work who are not presently members of our missionary organizations. This is the work of the local church. In our association we have 16 churches reporting missionary organizations with a gain over last year, bringing the enrollment just lUlder BOO. -23-

outpatient services. There were 16,827 emergency patients. Medicare-covered patients have increased. In April 1967, 1,082 adult patients were discharged from the hospital. Patients over 65 accounted for 210 dismissals during the month, one out of five. Health care for the older citizen makes us aware of the acute need for facilities to accommodate them more efficently and to meet their needs for a longer hospital stay. Two

substantial steps forward have been made in the Department of Clinical Pastoral Education during this year. The second step forward is plans to receive two students in the fall in the one-year internship program which can then be followed the second year in a full-time residency program. 'This has been a year with 365 action packed days . We are grateful to serve in a field where there are so many opportunities and are proud to do so in the name of Mi.ssouri Baptists. HOME FOR THE AG~D

50 persons were received into the Home during the year. There are 161 residents at this time whose ages average approximately 84 years. A staff ct 64 dedicated men and women carryon the work. The waiting list continues to be one of our most pressing problems. There are at this 78 people on this list. Death claimed 43 of our members during the year. Costs were higher this past year and are expected to continue to rise. The Lord continues to bless the work financially. We recovered $97,593.50 through the Cooperative Program. Any funds available after paying operating costs will continue to be placed in the building fund. John H. Burney, Super intendent

BARRY COUNTY SOUTHERN MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION W.est . Plains, Missouri challenged us in our Associational Evangelim Clinic. Hlghllght of. the year for our Director of Evangelism, Brother Luther Dyer, ~as the tr~p to Berlin for the World Congress on Evangelism. This signifIcant meeting was sponsored by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association ·and . Christianity Today. Twelve hWldred delegates from 103 '.!ountries gave testimony to GOO's world-wide blessings. Practically every voice sOWlded an optimistic note expecting revival. The 1967 Evangelism Conference ~eld . with the. First Baptist Church in Raytown, was the bes t attended meet~ 109 lfl the hIstory of Missouri Baptists, with the climax of the meeting on Tuesday evening with nearly six thousand present at Youth Night. Over 241 decisions were registered that evening after the testimony of James Jeffrey and the message of Dr. Kenneth Chafin. Looking to 1967 -68, we see several opportunities to educate toward a more fruitful ministry. At the reading of this report plans are being made for the C.rusade of the, Americas. During September 8-17. the Billy Graham Kansas Clty ~rusade w.lll be held. Our Regional Clinic will be held September 26 at the FIrst Baptist Church, Springfield. The State Evangelistic Conference for 1968 will also be held with the First Church at Springfield This wi~l . be January 15-17. On January 31, 1968, our Associational R~iOnal Chmc will be held too. Looking to 1969, the dates March 15-29 are to be spotlighted. This is the date for the Crusade of the Americas. 1 recommend to this association that we, as an association, enter into the Crusade of the Americas on this date. Then as individual churches we can do three things: 1. Vote to participate. 2. Secure our evangelistic help. 3. Begin praying for a revival in North, South. and Central America. In the year 1967-68, we are praying for a marked increase in baptisms as well as a revival of God's people.

Submitted by Otis Ennis (read by Mrs. Gladys Stockton) REPORT ON EVANGELISM

A new hope has been born in the hearts of Southern Baptist leadership. This is as a result of the emphasis and impact of planning toward the Crusade of the Americas in 1969. Looking back at 1966-67, we see many victories won in His name. Our number of baptisms was down from 15,865 to 15,530. This slightdecreas~ is an indication that we mast be about the business of bringing men to Jesus Christ. In our own association, our churches baptized 118 persons. This represented a ratio .of one baptism for every 39.3 members. The 118 baptisms plus 128 additions by letter make a total of 246 re~eived into our churches this past ass')-::iational year. Thus, it is obvious that our task in the coming year is twofold: (1) publicly proclaiming the Gospel, and (2) personally wiruling others to Jesus Christ. The Regional Clinics scheduled in seven cities of Missouri were highly successful and very well attended. On February 2, 1967, Brother Jim Hylton, pastor of the First Baptist Church of -26-
