A
SPECIAT REPORT OF THE GENERAT BOARD
STATEMENT OF PRINCIPTES ON HUMAN RETATIONS
We recognize the right and privilege of the local church to conduct its own affairs
in the area of human relations.
We further recognize our responsibility to God and to our fellow man to declare
ourselves on the question of human relations as it is related to the various agencies
of the National Association of Free Will Baptists.
In the light of the above, the National Association of Free Will Baptists believes
that all persons should equally enjoy those freedoms and privileges intended by
God from creation, taught in the Bible, and provided by the Constitution of the
United States of AmeriCa. The church of Jesus Christ must recognize the dignity
of every person as a creation of God and must actively seek ways to bring that
person into a right relationship with God, regardless of race or national origin. "And
God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the ûsh of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth" (Genesis I:26),
We recognize the fact that there is no immediate or simple solution to this problem because of the extremely diversiûed ci¡cumstances that prevail throughout our
denomination. However, we do believe that adherence to Christian principles and
Bible teaching is relevant and essential to the solution of any and all social problems,
and the establishment of proper human relations. We are convinced that the transformation of mankind through faith in Jesus Christ is the greatest instrument available
to break down prejudices and cause justice to prevail. We are opposed to violence to
secure human rights, and are equally opposed to force to prevent the achievement
of such rights.
While laws may give impetus to justiûable freedoms, it is regrettable that laws
must be enacted requiring people to adhere to common courtesies, We recogníze
that it is not the chief business of the church to lead in social reform since the Great
Commission calls for reconciliation of man to God, but a natural consequence of
regeneration is right relations of one man to another. "For ye are a1l the children
of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into
Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor
free, there is neither male or female in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:26-28).
We recognize throughout the denomination there are human relation problems,
We must learn to be tolerant, and above all must be honest as we search our hearts
from time to time for hidden motives in regards to our actions. As pastors and
17
spiritual leade¡s there are responsibilities to consider for the good of the total cause
wh_en we_ mlght ,personally mõve faster, we must be keenly alare that the forcei of
evil w-ould_deligh! in exqloiting this situation to their advântage, we therefore urge
that the National Association of Free will Baptists seek div:ine guidance throufri
prayer and counsel of wisdom that may be at our disposal,
we recommend that a rluman Relations committee
further study the problems and possibilities in the area
of flve be established to
of human ¡elations as rethe, ,agencies of the National Association of Free will Baptists. rts
purpose wo_uld be to help. us spiritually and intelligently face existing -problems
lated
to
and to explore the potential-of such projects as mission work
in
la-rgè metro-
qolitan areas among people of other racìs that are now being left to the-exploitation of the Communists- and other liberally minded forces. -

REPORT OF THE RESOTUTIONS COMMITTEE
I. Whereas,
change in theological position always begins with an attitude change
only detectable in practices, and
, Whereas, the Bible commands the believer to "earnestly contend for the faitb
which was once delivered unto the saints," and
. Whereas, many questions have arisen in this framework among Free Will Baptists concerning the alignment ir some degree to other associations, organizations,
persons or institutions by this Association ãnd some of the agencies thereof; therefore be it
a committee be chosen by this body to review the attitude
of the National Association of Evangelicalé toward the ecumenical

tion of Free Will Baptists.
(Clerk's note: the above Resolutíon

HISTORICAT COMMISSION REPORT
of the reports that are given this week will be concerning that which is
now happening or is to occur later. However, the work of the Historical Commission is unlike any of these reports in that it is concerned with what has already
transpired.
Since this Commission functions without a budgetary allocation there is a
limited amount that it can accomplish. Therefore, we are very dependent on the
cooperation of everyone in order to ãccomplish our goals.
One great area in which we have failed as a denomination has been in that
of preserving an accurate record of our history. The Historical Commission serves
as a reminding agency as well as a collecting agency for the preservation of:
Most
1. Old records
2. OId document and
3. Old minutes
For example: While in Nebraska recently a member of our Commission was
able to secure the original handwritten minutes of the Kansas, Nebraska Yearly
Meeting which dated back to the early
- 1870's. We have found that sentiment
often hinders the obtaining of many of these precious items of historical importance. Therefore, it is often most difficult to gaiher this type of information.
This Commission would like to appoint each of you as a separate committee
of one to help with this responsibilitl,. Search through all your iecords for valuable helps. Ask your friends to be on the look out for articles that would help us
keep informed in the years ahead as to what we have done over the years, Send
your materials to:
HISTORICAL COMMISSION
Box
1088
Nashville, Tennessee 37202
This material will be on public display at Free Will Baptist Bible College and
will aid,in-the writing of term papers, histories, etc. We solicit your help-as we
look to the future where today's records will pass,

REPORT OF THE STUDY COMMISSION ON
THEOTOG¡CAt LIBERA¡.ISM
Recognizing the increasing pressures from current theological trends such as the
ecumenical movement, new-evangelicalism, catholicism, and secularism, we se€
a definite need for papers to be written on these issues. In view of the time consuming task of preparing such papers, we feel that writers who are secured for
these papers should receive remuneration for their services.
__Therefore, we request that the National Association grant the Commission on
The-ological_ r iberalism $250.00 for the employment of w-riters a¡d the preparation
of these articles.
A condensed report of these- articles will be presented at the next meeting of the
A,ssociation, or the entire articles will be reád if it is so requested. Pñns will
also be submitted for a distribution of these articles among our people.

REPORT
OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
"And- all things are of God, who hath r.econciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ,
qrld hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation" (II Coriiìthians 5:18):
This year, perhaps as never b-efqre,, we have,sensed the urgency of our minístry
as we seek to be instruments of God by which He reconcilès men unto Himsef.
It. has been a privilege for me to serve this year as Executive Secretary and I
wish to expresl -my -ðincery: appreciation for the support which you haíe gr-ven
to us in the work
of the Executive Department as well as the other departments
of our work. We trust that through -o9r mutual endeavor there have been many
who have come into a right relationship to God through Jesus Christ as Savioui.
Promotion: Travel over the states and attendance at various meetings of interest
to our denomination has occupied a large portion of my time in the past year. It
is evident that more and more people are becoming aware of our dènomination
and the work which \rye ate doing for the Lord. I have found thât the area meetings
for pastors continued to be an excellent means of sharing first hand information ãs
well as problems at the grass-roots. It is my intention to have more of these meet-
ings
in the future.
In March, 1965, we held our second
Secretaries
or Moderators of ou¡
meeting
in Nashville for the Promotional
vari<¡us states. This meeting was tvell attended and
-a fitting continuation- of our first meeting the previous year. We are planning
another such meeting ta 1966,
_ Due to _other duties, we have not been able to continue the monthly news service.
It
is our intention to revive this activity, however, and we hope that we will have
sufficient resources to make it possible.
Our office has also been involved in securing a group ruling from Internal
Revenue Service in order to protect all of our member-chuiches and organizations.
As of tlis writing we have not received a reply from IRS, but we do expect to
be able to make an announcement at the annual convention.
, In addition, we havg been.seeking legal counsel in regard to the advisability of
the National Association being incorporated. This matier will come before' the
General Board at this session and no doubt will be referred to you for consideration.
, Department Ministries: In the past year our book store has ðhanged its name and
location. Our store is now Randall Book Store and is located in t-he new National
Office Building. As result of this move, we have a larger stock and selection. Cataiogs have been mailed to all churches. we hope that y-ou will give us your business
and will write to us about any book store needs that you have. we are also able to
supply you with church furniture, tables and chairs.
Through Executive Church Bonds, Inc., we have helped churches finance new
bujlding programs. We believe that we have an excellent program, competitive in
price, and would welcome the opportunity to present this program to your congregation.
Many friends have been won for Contact Magazine in the past year, however,

New Buílding.' Just at the time of the convention last year we had broken
ground for our new building. Now, one year later, we have just finished and occupied
these facilities. We started our move on May 24 and about one month later was
fairly well settled. At this writing we have not been able to close the loan on the
building, but a detailed financial report has been prepared for the General Board.
Needless to say, this project has consumed much of my time in the past year,
An undetermined number of decisions had to be made and endless details cared
for. We are happy to report that we feel we have excellent facilities for the investment made and that these lacilities are a credit to our work.
One important and imperative item yet remains, We still must raise $20,000 to
purchase the additional two acres of land which we have under option, This option
will expire on September 24, 1966, You will be hearing more about this in the
months ahead and I trust that you will determine now to help us in a tangible
way and pray with us until viclory comes in respect to this need.

National Association of Free Will Baptists
I have examined the balance sheet of the Executive Department of The National
Association of Free lVill Baptists as of Decen-rber 31, 1964 and the related statement cf
income and firnd balance for the year then ended. M1'examination rvas made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests
of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as I considered necessary
in the circumstances, except as noted in the follorving paragraph.
Due to illness and changes ofpersonnel in your bookkeeping department the inventory

and purchases were made and since it was not deemed practicable to prepare an analysis

BOARD OF FOREIGN MISS¡ONS REPORT_I9ó4
"Ye are my witnesses."-Iesus Ch¡ist
The world is an arena. We are engaged in spiritual conflict, and no seats are provided for spectators in our foreign mission program.
In 1,964, many more Free Will Baptists joined us with prayer and financial
support. Receipts for the year reached an all-time high. We received $347,034.06, an
increase of $57,188.68 over 1963.
Twelve new missionaries arrived on their fields in 1964.
Brazil: Louis and Florine Coscia, Jim and Shirley Combs, Walter and Marcia
Ellison, Don and Carol Robirds; Ivory Coast: Archie and Sarah Mayhew; Panama:
Bill and Barbara Phipps.
Our department not only has a ministry abroad but also to our people at home
whom we serve. The Reverend Rufus Coffey, director of conference ministries,
arranged 49 missionary conferences in churches across the country, numerous
itinerary services for missionaries and appointees, and atteûded several state and
district conventions. Mr. Coffey says, "Every conference and each missions service is
a new and thritling experience, As Paul wrote to Timothy,
"I
thank Christ Jesus our
Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into this
ministry. I am fully convinced that the reason we have so many unreached souls in
the regions beyond is because we have so many unreached pâstors, churches, and
Christians here at home. The most eflective way to enlist the support of these noninvolved people is through more missionary services and a follow-up througb
literature to keep them informed."
Our Informational Services Division is under the direction of the Reverend Jerry
Ballard. Heartbeat circulation has reached the 35,000 mark giving us a projected
readership of more than 100,000. 'We believe we are reaching into 30,000 different
Free Will Baptist homes. We can easily double this without exhausting Free Will
Baptist families. Our theme materials and digest series are made available without
charge. Mr. Ballard says, "We have felt that our development of strategically applied
prayer may not have kept pace with other developments in our organizationstructural, staff and flnancial. Thus we are giving attention to undergirding our
operation with more and better informed prayer. We believe God is our only
solution to the pressing p¡oblems encountered in world evangelism. And God works
in response to effectual, fervent prayer."
Through our Audio-Visual Division several missionary films and ûlmstrips are
available. The filmstrips are our own productions, and later this year a teen evangelism film shot in Brazil will be released.
An extensive survey of literature evangelism was made by Mr. Ballard on his
tour of mission fields. He found an appalling lack of evangelistic materials. We
have personnel and financial limitations complicating the pressing problems of distributi-on procedures. Our Spanish publication Impacto, a similar production in
Portuguese, a youth magazine, Tam-Tam in French for Africa, Sunday school
curriculum materials for India and other related materials make up our foreign
literature ministry.
Political conditions throughout the world necessitate flexibility in our progtam.
These are days of many opportunities, and we must be alert to discern the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
Contrary To circulated reports from ill-advised sources, none of our Free Will
Baptist churches have been closed in Cuba. There is still a strong fellowship between
the pastors and their people. The property is still controlled by the Cuban Association
of Free Will Baptist Churches. There are restrictions on the activities of the church,
the pastors and families sufier intimidations and no Bibles or Christian literature
can be sent into Cuba, But God is still at work, and souls are being saved'
On December 27,Ierry Ballard and I left the United States for a ministry with
our missionaries.
I
feel that
in a large measure our
objectives were accomplished:
become better informed of missionary activities for administrating our total
missionary program. To have a spiritual ministry with the missionaries. To project
plans with field councils. To develop stronger indigenous churches. To counsel with
missionaries regarding personal needs. To establish contacts for opening new fields-
To
meet evangelical leaders and discuss proceclures.
3t
Free Will Baptists have not reached a saturation point with regard to missionary
personnel or giving, We have denominational membership substantial to provide
hundreds of missionaries, and we have the ability to support them.
As our foreign ministry remains the vanguard of our denominational program,
we will continue to see personnel and financial needs met. God has obligated Himself
to send forth laborers. He is, therefore, under obligation to bless our Home Mission
and Church Extension department to provide more personnel and support, He is also
under obligation to bless our Bible College as our institution for training these
missionaries. God has never failed us and we must remain faithful to His divine
purpose for our coming "to the kingdom for such a time as this."

AUDITOR'S STATEMENT
March 5, 19ó5
The Board of Foreign Missions of
The National Associaticn of Free Will Baptists
Nashville. Tennessee
I have examined the balance sheet of the Board of Fcreign Missions of The National
.A.ssociation of Free \\¡ill Baptists as of December 31, 7964 and the related statement
of cash receipts and disbursements for the year then ended.
It was not practicable to confirm the amount of contributions received from various
donors; consequently, my examination of receipts rvas limited to the books and records
of the Board. With this exception my examination was made in accordance rvith generally
accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting
records and such other auditing procedures as I considered necessary in the circumstances.
In my opinion the accompanying balance sheet and statement of cash receipts and
disbursements present fairl1' 1¡s financial position of the Board of Foreign Missions of

its recorded cash transactions for the year then ended, in conformity with generally

BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS_CHURCH EXTENSION
Report
for
1.964
Since our last report of the National Association, the following men a¡d women
have been appointed to serve in the home missionary and church èxtension ministry:
Rev. Lonnie Rolen, New Mexico
Rev. Richard Shade, Kansas
Mrs. Richard Shade, Kansas
Mrs. June Rolen, New Mexico
Rev. Lloyd Plunkett, Washington
Rev. Roger Harwell, Colorado
Mrs. Betty Plunkett, Washington
Mrs. Barbara Harwell, Colorado
Income for the yea¡ 1964 was $120,054.69, an increase of 514,198.77 over the
prevrous year,
Several men have been approved for church extension work and tleir names will
be released when all details are worked out. "Project 30" is working well in Idaho,
Kansas, and in some other areas.
Our board has been able to launch into a "loan program" for new churches in
a very limited way. This is a much needed ministry and we hope to advance in this
field of endeavor this year.
Thousands of pieces, of missionary literature have been mailed from the office,
and approximately 34,000 qopies, of Missíon-Grams go out at each printing.
Our churches were faithful to observe November as National Home Missions month
and to again give Vacation Bible School offerings for this cause.
Four of our men were able to go into self-maintaining ministries the past year
from their mission churches.
36
Canada continues to present a real opportunity as does Mexico. The work in
Mexico has especially been blessed of the Lord in recent years,
Receipts have been good from the WNAC, and a word of praise is in order for
Mrs. Paul Purcell in her great eftorts for making November so successful as National Home Missions month. The receipts for the Co-operative Plan have also increased
during the past year. Seven states exceeded their suggested quotas for 1964:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
We have moved into offices in the new headquarters building and have been able
to get settled after the move, It is good to have sufficient space after operating
this department for so many years from one room, The promise in Psalm 121:4,
"He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep", has been very real in this
past year.
Twenty-two new churches were reported the first five months of this year, organized
in several states.
We have worked with some states and local boards in joint efforts and find this
method most satisfactory.
Three of our former board members went to be with the Lord this past year;
namely, Mrs. Lizzie McAdams, Brother George Mcl.ain, and Brother James F, Miller.
These were pioneer soldiers of the home mission cause, and we thank the Lord for
having had their leadership.
We ask you to take notice of our new address which is P. O. Box 1088, Nashville,
Tennessee 37202, and the new telephone number which is 244-3470, area code 615.
I wish to point out that the state of California has exceeded her quota for this
department of work already in 1965. It is most necessary that our state quotas be
reached this year. We did not reach the suggested goal in 1964.
Recommendation-'îhe Board of Home Missions and Church Extension recommends the adoption
state quotas,
of the proposed $160,000 budget for 1965 and the suggested
Sincerely in Christ,
H. E. Wrlrrs
General Director-Treasurer
AUDITOR'S STATEMENT
March 9, 19ó5
The Board of Home Missions of
I have examined the balance sheet of The Board of Home Missions of The National
Association of Free Will Baptists as of December 31,1964 and the related statement of
cash receipts and disbursements for the year then ended.
It was not practicable to confirm the amount of contributions received from various
donors; consequently, my examination of receipts r¡as limited to the books and records
of the Board. With this exception my examination was made in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, ancl accordingly included such tests of the acccunting
records and such other auditing procedures as I considered necessary in the circumstances,
In my opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and statement of cash receipts and
disbursements present fairly the financial position of The Board of Home Missions of
The National Association of Free lVill Baptists at December 31,1964, and the results
of its recorded cash transactions for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding
year, except that disbursements for missionary maintenance were changed from the
beginning of the month to the end of the previous month, resulting in 13 months disbursements during the year ended December 31,1964,

REPORT OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOT BOARD
The Sunday School Department has enjoyed a highly successful year. Sales for
the year zoomed to the excess of $175,000.00. Due tõ increases both in the cost of
production and our ministries we operated with a deficit for 1964. This does not
mean that we are operating in the rerl for our excess of 1963 was more than enough
to cover the deficit. We are showin.q a margin of profit in 1965 thus far. This has
been accomplished withont curtailing our present ministries.
LITERATURE
In
1964 we introduced our Teen Quarterly and the Teen Teacher. We began
publishing our own workbooks. We alsò introãuced Teach N Train Magazine. Õur
new curriculum will begin on three levels-Preschool, Primary and Junior in the
first quarter of 1966. The list of our own products will grow longer.
TEACHER TRAINING

we- traveled over 60,000 miles in Sunday School Prómotion. The Institutes- were
held in fifteen states. A total of 937 eirrolled and 540 certificates were issued.
We now offer a Teacher Training Program by correspondence. We have continued

AUDITOR'S STATEMENT
Sunday School Board of the
National Association of Free Will Baptists:
\ÃIe have examined the balance sheet of the Sunday School Board of the National
Association of Free Will Baptists as of December 31, 1964 and the related statements
of operating fund income and expenditures and of changes in fund balances for the year
then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the afo¡ementioned related
statements present fairly the ñnancial position of the Sunday School Board of the
National A.ssociation of Free Will Baptists at December 31, 196+ and the results of its
operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year,

I have examined the balance sheet of the Board of Church Training Service (formerly
League Board) of rhe National Âssociation of Free vr'ill Baptists as of December 3i,
7964 and the related statement of income and fund balance for the year then ended.
My examination was made in accordance with generally accepted
standards,

REPORT OF SUPERANNUATION BOARD
We the members of the Board of Superannuation feel our grave responsibility
for the welfare and support of our own ministers and missioûaries after they have
become old or otherwise disabled. Therefore, we offer the following report and
recommendations for your consideration.
During the past year we have sought to present the cause of retirement to our
people on the field. We have done this through a limited amount of promotional
work by members of the board, through Contact, our natioûal magazine, aûd
through our state papers.
We have also conducted a training program for state and national workers who
were interested in learning more about the program aûd plans for retirement.
We are praying, and are hopeful, that our people will realize the
personal
responsibility every Free Will Baptist has to those who have forsaken all to serve
Christ at home and on the foreign field. Because we have ministers aûd missionaries insured under our board, we feel that when you contribute to superannua-
tion, you are giving to the world-wide ministry of our denomination.
We have three policies to offer: (1) Endowment at age 65: (2) Endowment at
age 70, which also provides a monthly income for disability. The insured pays
5OVo of the premium and the board pays SOVo. Available from one thousand up
to five thousand, (3) An annuity, to provide a very attractive plan of retirement,
We ofier the following recommendations: (1) That each department of ou¡
National Association give their interest and support to this part of our denominational program since it affects all of us. (2) That we urge each church to
receive at least one offering annually for National Superannuation, since our
support through the Cooperative plan is not sufficient. (3) That our ministers
and missionaries inquire about the life insurance and retirement available to them
through our board before purchasing from other insurance companies.

AUDITOR'S STATEMENT
We have examined the records of the Board of Superannuation of the National
Association of Free Will Baptists, for the year ended December 31, 1964, and have
prepared therefrom the accompanying statement of cash receipts and disbursements.
Our examination rvas made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Your attention is called to the
decrease
in the
cash position of your organizatíon
since 19ó1, as reflected in the following tabulation:

This decrease in the cash position should be seriously considered and plans adopted to

fairly the recorded cash transactions of the Board of Superannuation of the National
Association of Free Will Baptists, for the year ended December 31, 1964, on a basis
consistent with that of the preceding year.

AUDITOR'S STATEMENT
Richmond, Virginia, NIay 21, 1965
We have examined the statement of cash receipts and disbursements of The Laymen's
Board, National Association of Free Will Baptist Churches, for the period January 1 to
December 31, 1964.
It was not practical for us to verify tlie receipts fron the various chapters. Also, there
was a change frotn a Commission to a Board, rvith the records being transferred to an
Executive Secretary and Treasurer. This change limited our tests of the transactions
for the period under review and placed a limitation on the scope of the examination.
The cash balance rvas reconciled to the amount reported directly to us b1, the
cle-
pository.
Because of the limitation of the scope of the engagement, u'e do not express an opinion
on the statement of cash receipts and disbursements.

AÐDITIONAT REPORT OF THE NATIONAT IAYMEN's BOARD
The Lord hath done great things for us; \ryhereof we are glad.
year ago I stood before this Association and gave a report on the
-Master's
-Just one
Free Will Baptist
_Men _Organization v/hich should have made eveiy
I-ayman hang þis head in shame. I praise the Lord today -that the picture -has
crhanged,_for where there was shame there is now something to rejoice*about, All
that we had a year ago were a few chapters scattered heré and there about the
various States, a bankrupt bank account, án indebtedness of over $700.00 witii still
a half year of printing and other essentials to be paid for, and two issues of
the_ Attack Magazine still to be published and distributed tó the membership.
I am happy_-to report to you toìay we have paid oft our $700.00 indebtediess,
we owe no bills, we have. money_in the bank, God has given us new Chapteró
-new
i¡_ every State,
membership has practically doubled,-and request for
cur _ Exécutive Secretary. This past year
has been the most sucéessful year éince the founding of Master's Mên in"the
year 1957.
Why has- tlis _been sugh _a good y€ar, not because I or any one of the other
members of the Laymen's Congress have had the leadership, but back in Kansas
City one year -ago .we- !5 qçn were challenged to take thè task of reorganizing
the work of iVfaster's
Men._The-re in_the quietness of that Hotel room we got oñ
o¡r knees ald we begged God Tor wisdom, and for leadership that we mighï walk
the best paths, and lead , our T,aymen in the right direction. God has iewarded
his servants accordingly; but think of the resultf that could have been if instead
of 25 men we would have -h_a_d 50,000 men all dedicated Free Will Baptist Laymen working for the cause of Master's Men.

Let me share with you a little of the plans for this coming year. God willing,
are going tg present a cash gift of $5,000.00 to the National Foreign anã
!v_e
Home Missions Boards on January
l,
1966,
_January 2,,1966 will be.an.important date for all Free Will Baptist Laymen.
This day will be our National Day of Prayer for our Denominaiion and our
Nalgn as well. (Don't you think we need it) Laymen from the sunny coast of
California to the Atlantic Ocean here in North Carolina, and flom New
Hampshire to the Gulf .o.f-Mexico will all be praying at the same hour according
to the time zones in which they are locåted. We-hope to have 75,000 people in
prayer at. the same time on this date. Please mark your calenders and cbmè join
with us in Prayer on this our ûrst National Laymen's Day of Prayer.
We are .asking- God -to- supply us with a_ full time paid Executiúe Secretary
to_ go on the feld, and_ help._us to promote the cause of Master's Men. Will yoü
join us in praying that God will supply this need?
We are now exploring the possibilities, and beginning to lay some plans that
eventually could_lead_ to the establishment of our first Free Will Baptisi Hospital
or Clinic in the United States. This also is an object of Prayer.
We are going to put into effect at once a Crash Program for Master's Men
in certain areas of some states where we have several Churches close together
but do not have Chapters in any of the Churches.
These are some of our plans fol this_ coming Yea¡. You say they sound big,
they are big, but \ile are serving a Big God and He has told us in the Word wê
have not because we ask not. We are asking God to supply for us these and
