(1) We must grow by sou -wnnng and baptsms. We coud DOUBLE n numbers wthout budng another church budng or cassroom. The facts are that 188 of the 229 reportng churches average beow 100 n Sunday Schoo, wth ony 41 averagng 100 or more. Amost 50% (106) of our churches reported beow 49 n attendance. Pease note the accompanyng report of Ro-Ca Sunday for more detas. (2) Target 90-Growng for Gods Gory. Arkansas Free W Baptsts have approxmatey 10% of the churches and membershp composng the Natona Assocaton of Free W Baptsts. n order to show the progress suggested by the Natona Assocaton, our 235 churches need to show a NET gan of three (3) members per church by 1986, and our State Assocaton needs to show a NET gan of one (1) church. Note the accompanyng Target 90 brochure. 10

12 (3) Adequate Compensaton for our Pastors s vtay needed. Some of our churches are to be commended for the tremendous progress whch has been made n provdng adequate fnanca support for ther pastors. Most have a ong way to go. Naturay, the pastor s often reuctant to dscuss hs own saary. t s of upmost mportance that every church do ts best to adequatey support ts pastor and hs famy. Ths woud requre prayerfu examnaton of the pastors fnanca needs n comparson wth todays economy. A. One of the greatest needs n the care of the pastora famy s to provde hosptazaton nsurance for the pastor and hs famy. Arkansas Free W Baptsts has an adequate pocy wth Bue Cross/Bue Shed that s suted to the needs of the parsonage famy. Currenty, the rates are $ per month for a famy pocy. B. Another need s the care for pastora retrement. Every church shoud take care of ths need both through Soca Securty and the retrement program of the Natona Assocaton. t s an unspeakabe tragedy for a pastor and hs wfe to reach retrement wth tte or no retrement benefts. f our churches woud set asde an amount equa to 5% to 10% of the pastors saary, t s key that the pastor coud be abe to ve comfortaby when retrement age s reached. f your church s aready enroed n the retrement program of then atona Assocaton, and f your church supports the Cooperatve Pan of Support, the amount of 5% of the amount that the church sends to the Cooperatve Pan of Support s deposted to the retrement program of the pastor each month. Ths s provng to be one of the best ways of supportng the retrement needs of our pastors. C. nstead of budng a parsonage, why not gve a housng aowance? Ths aows the pastor to gan equty n a house and through carefu management, he can own a house when he retres. t aso emnates the probem for the church to mantan a parsonage. D. Lasty, most of our pastors do not receve an ANNUAL rase or cost of vng rase. The needs of the pastora famy shoud be consdered annuay wth the cost of vng beng taken nto consderaton. The Promotona Offce of Arkansas Free W Baptsts encourages and chaenges every Free W Baptst Church to grant an ANNUAL rase to ther pastor from at east 5% to 10% ncrease.

32 TO: Arkansas State Assocaton DATE: August 14, 1985 FROM: Jm Purse, State CTS Drector n Matthew 16:24, Jesus sad "f any man w come after me, et hm deny hmsef, and take up hs cross, and foow me." The must of bearng the cross s mentoned many tmes by our Lord. However, he never says t w be easy. As Jesus spoke of hs cross (Matthew 16:21), Peters response was, "That snt necessary". Jesus remnded Peter that hs thoughts were of men, nspred by Satan. n ths and of penty wth soca opportunty abundant ts a hard task for young peope to reaze the necessty of bearng the cross for Jesus. The human opnon that "t snt necessary" s st nspred by Satan. Free W Baptsts have tradtonay hed the mante of stewardshp hgh. For ths to contnue, t must be accepted and practced by our youth whe they are young. We prase the Lord for those n evdence at our camps ths year who are acceptng that commtment. But the feds are whte wth many who need our hep. May God hep us to bud up our forces as never before n the homes, churches, and every extenson avaabe to us. May we never cease to teach our chdren that the ony acceptabe fe, s a separated, crossbearng fe. The Arkansas CTS Department s one of Gods extensons. We are a part of the body, whch s the Church. Perhaps no greater roe has been paced upon the Chrstan socety than that of the oca church. Our prayer at the CTS Department s that God w keep us attached to the body. And that we w contnue to be an asset to the chdren that he has paced wthn your care.

"..., ~-----.::::.:::::::::.::::.:::: :.:. :...:-=. f-,, ~ ~,. - REPORT NO.7: REPORT OF THE STATE MSSONS BOARD 1., " ~ ::,, ~~ ~ The State Mssons Board s happy to be abe to report that our msson work at Soam Sprngs, Arkansas, s movng on schedue towards sefsupportng status. God has bessed there wth a group of progressve, energetc peope who have reay sezed the vson of a growng Bbe-beevng church. Rev. Fred Warner and famy are to be commended for ther exceent eadershp n ths work. As you w notce n our proposed budget for 1986, the church w be provdng $20, towards ts own support. t s aso takng care of a ts oca expenses as we as contrbutng to the Cooperatve Pan of Support. At the tme of ths wrtng, the Board has pans to expore the possbtes of the ste for our next state Msson project wth hopes of beng abe to report our fndngs at the State Meetng. Whe we do not pan to actuay pace a mssonary unt the project s fnshed at Soam Sprngs, we do hope to be abe to seect the cty and perhaps purchase the and n the near future. Durng the past year, we were nformed of the cosng of the North Heghts Church n Texarkana, Arkansas, and the desre of the remanng members of congregaton for the property to be returned to Arkansas Free W Baptsts. After consutaton wth the State Executve Board, t was decded that the property woud be sod, and the proceeds paced n the APPLE fund. The property was sod for $50, whch we fnanced at 10% nterest. Payments of $ a month are now comng nto the APPLE fund. The Board fet that f the money was smpy used to start another church, t woud then be out of crcuaton, but by pacng t n the APPLE fund, t can be used contnuousy aong wth the nterest. Ths, we beeve, w assure, n the future, that we w be abe to contnue the method that we have used at Soam Sprngs n buyng property and constructng a budng at the outset of the work. The APPLE money w eventuay aow us to bud the budng and use t, nterest free, for the frst fve years. At the end of that fve-year perod, the msson church w be abe to obtan conventona fnancng (because they w then have coatera), and we w take the APPLE funds and move on to the next project. Durng the past year, we aso receved notce that the church at West Heena, Arkansas, was unabe to contnue. They too, wshed to return the property to the State Assocaton. n ths case, there was some $18, ndebtedness. Ths property has been paced n the hands of a reator for sae, but due to the economc condtons of the regon, no buyer has yet been found. You w note n our proposed budget that a fgure of $3, has been gven as an estmate of the cost of the payments on the ndebtedness and other reated expenses to the budng.
