11 REPORT NO. 4: REPORT OF THE PROMOTONAL DRECTOR Davd A. Josln Durng the calendar year of 1988, Arkansas Free Wll Baptsts recepted $1,189, through state and natonal agences or departments. Ths was $50, more than the amount of $1,139, recepted durng the 1987 calendar year Other areas of concern are: () Arkansas has 16 dstrct assocatons wth 221 churches afflated wth them. There are 81 cty/town churches and 140 country/rural churches. Eghty-one of the pastors are lsted as full-tme, and 140 pastors are part-tme. {Full-tme denotes that the pastor does not rely upon secular work to support hs famly.) Two small assocatons, Bg Sprngs wth two churches, and Rch Mountan wth three churches dsbanded. These fve churches ore no longer afflated wth the State Assocaton due to the fact that they de not have any dstrct assocotonol connectons. There were 213 churches who reported ther statstcs to ther respectve dstrct assocaton. These 213 churches reported 588 baptsms, 1,112 members added, and 658 members lost. Total membershp n the Arkansas State Assocaton of Free Wll Baptsts s currently 21,226. There ore 358 ordaned mnsters and 604 ordaned deacons. {2) n Aprl 1989, the State Executve Board approved a church property nsurance program wth Brotherhood Mutual nsurance Company. You are encouraged to revew a premum quotaton from Brotherhood Mutual pror to your next nsurance polcy annversary date. As of August, 1989, Brotherhood Mutual had nspected 60 of our churches, wrote 31 nsurance polces, and quoted 24 others. : {3) The underglrtng support of the state and notonal programs contnues to be the Cooperatve Plan of Support. Wthout t, we could not enjoy the servces and benefts of strong state and natonal programs. Your church s challenged to become more nvolved n the support of the total denomnatonal program. Last year, 1988, Arkansas Free Wll Baptsts gave $176, to the State and Natonal Cooperatve Plan of Support. Ths was an ncrease of $10, over the year The challenge s to work together to accomplsh our tasks and goals n a sprt of unty, brotherhood, and cooperaton. {4) Last year, the State Assocaton approved the Arkansas Mnsters Benevolent Assocaton. Through August, 1989, there have been 28 mnsters who have become members of the assocaton. t has been sad that the best complment that anyone can pay to you s to copy your actons. The states of Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Georga are consderng smlar programs coped after the one that was lmplmented n Arkansas. All ordaned mnsters/pastors wthn the State Assocaton are encouraged to become members. Churches should pay the fee for ther pastor.

40 REPORT NO. 7: MSSONS BOARD Ths has been an actve and frutful year for the State Mssons Board wth reference to the project at Wynne. The bulldlng s now complete, and the work 1s progress ng well. Dedcaton servces for the bulldlng were conducted at Wynne n conjuncton wth the annual meetng of the Socal Band Assocaton on July 8, The project at Wynne s unque n that we have been able to reach ths pont wthout makng a major fnancal push. Ths has been a delberate change n approach as the board recognzes the tremendous array of needs that come before our churches. We felt that t would be good to try to gve our churches who have been so good to help n the past, as lttle breather. We foresee that we wlll probably need to make one major appeal toward the end of the project to assst n payng off the bulldng loan. We apprecate very much those who have gven and are gvng regularly to assst n ths work. The church at Wynne s movng n the drecton of self support. n addton to ther Coop gvng, they sent $500 per month toward ther own support January through June of ths year, and began sendng $800 per month n July. We commend our mssonary couple, Rev. and Mrs. 0. D. Wnfrey, for ther leadershp and servce, and the church at Wynne for ther efforts n ths regard. Thus far, 22 salvaton decsons have been made, as well as seven rededcatons. There has been 12 baptsms, and the yearly average attendance for Sunday mornng has been 28., l t ;. At ths sesson of the State Assocaton, the State Mssons Board s requestng a consttutonal change as t relates to the actvty of the Board. Ths change, f approved would allow the Board n future years to pursue the possblty of establshng churches n neghborng states.
