Baptists Over
State Set New,
Broad Program
Seventy-five thousand new con-
verts, 120 new churches and a
$9 million piogram that will
carry the gospel to the ends of
•he state are the goals which
have been set for Texas Baptists
during 1956. a spokesman said
here Wednesday in a year's end
r. port of activities.
l r Forrest C. Foezoi-. execu-
tive secretary for th- Baptist
General Convention of Texas, esti-
mated that the denomination will
need a total of .'LOOC new churches
and four times its present num-
ber of ministers and other staff
workers during the next 20
years.
Texas Baptists now have 3,625
c hurches and 1,419,802 members.
They built an average of two new
churches each week during 1955,
baptized 70,110 new converts and
gave an all-time high of $65,877,-
755 to carry on their work.
Missionary Endeavors
Of that amount, $«.993,924
went for missionary endeavors
outside the churches' own local
areas. This, too, is a new record
for one year.
Dr. Feezor said that the church-
es' Sunday schools surpassed their
enrollment goal of one million by
more than 110,185 persons. Train-
ing Unions enrolled 43-1000 per-
sons for another all-time high.
Two thousand Texas Baptist
churches conducted simultaneous
evangelistic campaigns during the
spring months of 1956, with a re-
sult of 21,400 new converts.
The churches' major fall em-
phasis was week-long schools of
missions and stewardship, in
which 1.900 congregations parti-
cipated and enrolled 200,000
adults and young people Texas
