The  1986  Annual  of  the 

Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association 

Is  Dedicated  To 


John  Terrill  Wayland  and  Mrs.  Eunice  Fowler  Wayland 

John  Terrill  Wayland  was  born  in  Moberly,  Missouri,  March  2, 1907.  He  grad- 
uated from  Moberly  High  School  a  member  of  the  honor  society,  and  was  one 
of  four  salutatorians.  Upon  completion  of  four  years  at  William  Jewell  College 
in  1928,  John  Wayland  enrolled  at  Southern  Baptist  Theological  Seminary 
from  which  he  received  the  Th.B.  degree  two  years  later.  Continuing  his  educa- 
tion, John  went  to  Yale,  where,  after  a  year,  he  received  his  B.D.  degree,  and  in 
1933  the  Doctor  of  Philosophy  degree.  In  1932  John  T.  Wayland  and  Eunice 
Fowler  were  married  in  New  Haven,  Connecticut.  They  felt  the  call  to  become 
foreign  missionaries  and  had  hoped  to  be  sent  to  Burma  where  he  would  have 
taught  in  Judson  College.  The  depression  and  lack  of  funds,  however,  made 
this  impossible. 

In  June  1933,  Dr.  Wayland  was  called  to  become  pastor  of  the  First  Baptist 
Church  in  Monroe,  North  Carolina.  The  Temple  Baptist  Church  in  Durham  was 
the  next  call  to  Dr.  Wayland  -  he  went  there  in  1937  and  remained  until  he  went 
into  the  military  service  as  a  Navy  chaplain  in  1944.  After  the  war,  Dr.  Wayland 
became  interim  pastor  at  Pimlico  Baptist  in  Baltimore.  A  year  later  he  was 
asked  by  a  committee  from  the  First  Baptist  of  North  Wilkesboro  to  consider 
the  church  here.  Dr.  Wayland  and  his  family  arrived  in  North  Wilkesboro  in 
August  1947.  Under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Wayland  at  the  North  Wilkesboro 
Church,  the  new  parsonage  was  built.  A  much-needed  educational  building 
was  constructed.  A  school  for  rural  Baptist  preachers  was  established  under 
his  leadership.  This  was  increased  in  class  load  to  accommodate  lay  people 
who  wanted  the  courses. 

Dr.  Wayland  resigned  from  the  North  Wilkesboro  First  Baptist  to  become 


in 


professor  of  Christian  education  at  the  Southeastern  Baptist  Theological 
Seminary  in  1952.  For  I8V2  years  he  taught  at  the  seminary.  On  his  retirement 
from  the  seminary,  Dr.  Wayland  returned  to  Wilkes  in  1972  and  he  is  now  serv- 
ing as  associate  pastor  of  First  Baptist  Church.  From  1972  until  1982  he  was 
Adjunct  Professor  of  Religion  at  Wilkes  Community  College.  Many  of  the  best 
things  that  have  happened  in  Wilkes  County  have  come  into  being  with  the  aid 
of  his  gentle  spirit  and  the  urging  of  his  strong  leadership.  Dr.  Wayland  has 
served  as  first  president  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  North  Carolina  Baptist 
Homes  for  the  Aging.  He  is  a  past  president  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
Baptist  Children's  Homes  of  North  Carolina.  In  1961-1962  he  served  as  visiting 
lecturer  at  Oxford  University. 

Through  all  of  Dr.  Wayland's  years  of  leadership  as  pastor,  friend  of  pastors, 
educator,  compassionate  citizen,  and  Christian  servant,  Eunice  Wayland  has 
been  the  "helpmate"  par  excellence.  In  addition  to  fulfilling  her  role  as 
minister's  wife,  as  mother,  as  community  leader,  Eunice  has  found  time  to 
develop  and  express  her  gifts  as  an  excellent  artist  in  several  media.

History  of  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church 

1967  -  1986 

In  the  year  1967,  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church  entered  upon  a  period  of  growth 
which  merits  special  attention.  A  new  parking  lot  was  completed,  the  auditori- 
um was  recarpeted,  new  Sunday  School  furniture  added  and  a  ramp  was  con- 
structed for  the  handicapped. 

The  church  organizations  for  missions  were  strengthened  by  reorganizing 
to  include  all  ages. 

The  grounds  have  been  beautified  with  plants  and  shrubbery.  A  pastorium 
was  added  to  the  church  property  in  1976.  The  church  has  open  office  hours 
during  the  week  for  one-half  day  with  a  secretary. 

Walter  Stroud  and  wife  Lula  joined  the  church  soon  after  it  was  organized. 
Both  are  still  members  at  age  95. 

In  1981,  Jack  Rose  and  wife  Dorothy,  came  to  serve  as  pastor.  He  served  for 
three  years. 

Four  young  men  from  Oakwoods  Church  have  been  called  into  full-time 
ministry:  In  1981,  Carlton  Waddell;  in  1983,  Robert  Duncan  and  J.T.  Jones. 
Both  attended  seminary  for  training.  William  Ellis  is  attending  Campbell  Uni- 
versity and  upon  graduation  will  be  a  full-time  music  director. 

In  May  1985,  Rev.  Dale  Ellenburg,  with  his  family,  became  pastor. 

In  June  1986,  Brother  Jerry  Smithey  was  ordained  as  a  deacon. 

Oakwoods  gives  nine  percent  through  the  Cooperative  Program,  three  per- 
cent to  associational  missions  and  last  year  over  $4,700.00  was  given  to 
special  missions  offerings.

History  of  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church 

1963  -  1986 

The  ground  breaking  ceremony  for  the  educational  building  was  held  March 
31,  1963,  at  twelve  o'clock  noon.  Rev.  J.C.  Pruitt,  charter  member  and  first 
pastor,  broke  the  ground  and  shoveled  the  first  shovel  of  dirt.  Construction 
began  the  next  day,  April  1,  1963,  and  the  building  was  finished  debt  free  on 
February  1,  1964,  at  the  cost  of  $112,579.00.  On  February  23,  1964,  the  first 
service  was  held  in  the  new  building.  On  October  9, 1968,  the  church  voted  to 

-19- 


sell  the  parsonage  on  C  Street  and  to  buy  the  present  parsonage  in  Sherwood 
Forest.  The  following  have  served  as  pastors:  Rev.  J.C.  Pruitt,  1927;  Rev.  LB. 
Murray,  1928;  Rev.  J.E.  Hayes,  1929;  Rev.  D.C.  Clanton,  1930;  Rev.  Hubert 
Bullis,  1933;  Rev.  W.N.  Hayes,  1934;  Rev.  Richard  Day,  1935;  Rev.  W.S.  Luck, 
1943;  Rev.  Clate  Simmons,  1948;  Rev.  Warren  Carr,  1959;  Rev.  Harold  Smith, 
1965;  Dr.  W.L  Pitts,  1968;  Rev.  Frank  Blevins,  1975;  Rev.  Robert  Wilson,  1980; 
Rev.  Curtis  White,  1982. 

Rev.  Richard  Moretz  was  called  as  pastor  December  18,  1985.  The  church 
has  experienced  growth  in  many  areas.  Fifty  new  members  have  been  added 
to  the  church  roll  and  20  persons  baptized.  Michael  Mathery  was  called  as 
music  director.  Martha  Colwell  has  served  as  minister  of  education  and  youth. 
During  this  time,  the  upper  parking  lot  was  paved  and  beautification  of  church 
grounds  was  given  priority.  The  parsonage  has  been  remodeled  with  new 
carpet  and  paneling.  The  basement  of  the  old  church  was  remodeled.  New 
cabinets  have  been  installed  in  the  kitchen.

Constitution 

PREAMBLE 

We,  the  Baptist  Churches  of  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association, 
unite  according  to  the  plan  and  for  the  purpose  and  work  of  New  Testament 
churches  in  our  world.  To  this  end  and  according  to  the  following  articles,  we 
cooperate  to  the  fullest  extent  possible  with  the  State  and  Southern  Baptist 
Convention  and  subscribe  to  the  principles  of  the  1963  Baptist  Faith  and 
Message  statement. 

ARTICLE  I  —  NAME 

This  body  shall  be  known  as  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association  of 
North  Carolina. 

ARTICLE  II  —  PURPOSE 

It  shall  be  the  purpose  of  this  Association  to  consider  and  promote 
measures  for  increasing  the  harmony,  the  knowledge  and  the  spiritual  life  of 
the  churches  and  for  developing  and  directing  their  energies  and  their  contri- 
butions in  the  advancement  of  Christ's  kingdom  throughout  the  earth,  always 
in  harmony  with  the  teachings  of  the  New  Testament.  This  Association  shall 
be  an  auxiliary  of  the  North  Carolina  Baptist  State  Convention  and  the  South- 
ern Baptist  Convention  in  all  their  missionary,  educational  and  benevolent 
work. 

It  shall  be  the  purpose  of  the  Association  (1)  to  provide  the  mutual  encour- 
agement and  fellowship  of  member  churches  through  the  definition  and  prac- 
tice of  Baptist  distinctives;  (2)  to  consistently  seek  to  confront  everyone  in  our 
area  with  the  claims  of  Christ  on  his/her  life;  (3)  to  encourage  and  facilitate 
church  growth  and  development;  (4)  to  promote  participation  in  missions  and 
ministries  on  the  foreign  field,  in  the  homeland,  in  the  state,  and  in  the  area  of 
the  Association;  (5)  to  provide  services  to  the  churches  as  needed  and  desired; 
(6)  to  provide  an  additional  channel  by  which  member  churches  may  par- 
ticipate in  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention. 

ARTICLE  III  —  MEMBERSHIP 

SECTION  1.  The  Association  shall  be  composed  of  cooperating  Baptist 
churches  desiring  to  affiliate  with  it.  Any  church  desiring  to  become  a  member 
of  the  Association  shall  present,  through  messengers  chosen  for  that  pur- 
pose, its  request  for  membership  on  APPLICATION  FOR  MEMBERSHIP  pro- 
vided in  the  minutes  along  with  a  UNIFORM  ASSOCIATIONAL  LETTER  pro- 
vided by  the  clerk  at  any  annual  session  of  the  body.  The  Moderator  shall  refer 
the  church  to  the  Committee  on  Membership  for  study  and  investigation.  The 
church  maintains  for  the  year  the  status  of  associate  membership  until  the 
committee  makes  its  recommendation.  If  favorable,  it  will  be  received  into  full 
membership  with  all  the  rights  and  privileges  at  the  next  annual  session.  If  the 
Association  then  votes  to  receive  the  church,  the  moderator  shall  extend  the 
hand  of  fellowship  to  the  messengers. 


-21- 


SECTION  2.  The  Association  shall  be  sole  judge  of  its  membership  and 
may  receive  churches,  or  reject  churches,  according  to  its  Constitution  and 
Bylaws.  Member  churches  may  withdraw  from  the  Association  as  they  desire. 
Any  church  in  the  Association  which  fails  to  cooperate  with  the  Association 
shall,  upon  the  recommendation  of  the  Coordinating  Council  of  the  Associa- 
tion, be  contacted  by  the  Membership  Committee  to  determine  the  intentions 
of  the  church  regarding  its  remaining  in  the  Association. 

A  cooperating  church  shall  be  defined  as  one  which  sends  an  annual  report 
to  the  Association  and  messengers  to  Associational  meetings,  and  con- 
tributes to  the  financial  program  of  the  Association. 

SECTION  3.  The  Association  shall  withdraw  fellowship  from  any  church  in 
its  membership  which  shall  be  found  to  be  disorderly  in  faith  and  practice,  but 
not  until  written  charges  are  brought  against  it,  which  charges  shall  have  been 
authorized  by  the  official  act  of  the  church  offering  the  same,  or  by  the  Mem- 
bership Committee  of  the  Association.  Thereafter,  any  such  charges  shall  be 
carefully  considered  by  the  Association. 

ARTICLE  IV  —  MEETINGS 

SECTION  1.  The  Association  shall  meet  quarterly  on  the  Monday  after  the 
first  Sunday  in  January,  April,  and  July.  In  October  the  Association  shall  meet

SECTION  2.  The  Moderator  shall  call  a  meeting  of  the  pastor  and  one  repre- 
sentative from  each  church  approximately  30  days  prior  to  any  quarterly  Asso- 
ciational meeting  at  which  business  is  to  be  considered  for  the  purpose  of 
publicizing  and  discussing  such  matters  as  may  be  presented  for  vote  at  the 
Associational  meeting.  Special  meetings  may  be  called  by  the  Moderator  pro- 
vided two  weeks  notice  is  given  to  the  member  churches. 

SECTION  3.  In  case  of  emergency,  the  Coordinating  Council  shall  have  the 
authority  to  change  the  time  and/or  place  of  meetings,  and  shall  be  respons- 
ible for  providing  churches  with  sufficient  notice  of  change. 

SECTION  4.  Each  church  is  entitled  to  be  represented  by  its  pastor,  other 
ordained  ministers  holding  membership  in  the  church,  and  such  additional 
messengers  as  will  permit  a  total  of  10  messengers.  Churches  with  more  than 
500  members  are  entitled  to  an  additional  messenger  for  each  100  members 
more  than  the  initial  500.  Messengers  shall  be  elected  annually  for  all  Associa- 
tional meetings.  It  is  suggested  that  at  least  five  of  the  messengers  be  leaders 
of  individual  church  organizations. 

ARTICLE  V  —  AUTHORITY 

While  independent  and  sovereign  in  its  own  sphere,  the  Association  does 
not  claim,  and  will  never  attempt  to  exercise  any  authority  over  any  other  Bap- 
tist body,  whether  church  or  auxiliary  organization.

-32- 


shaw  Street  Baptist  Church.  Scripture  was  read  from  Revelations  1:9-19.  Rev. 
Jim  Gore  led  in  prayer.  The  topic  of  the  sermon  was  "Christ  Among  His  Chur- 
ches." Pastors  have  the  responsibility  for  sharing  Christ  in  the  churches.  The 
first  critic  of  the  church  was  Jesus  Christ.  (1)  Need  to  be  concerned  about  the 
truth  of  the  Bible.  Nine  to  ten  percent  come  to  church  because' of  the  pastor, 
65  percent  come  because  of  the  members  (lay  people)  and  two-thirds  of  our 
members  are  lost.  (2)  Have  trained  pastors  and  teachers.  (3)  The  church  needs 
to  be  out  in  the  world  and  reaching  people.  (4)  Need  a  dynamic  outreach  pro- 
gram in  our  churches.  (5)  Challenge  -  become  more  committed  and  dedicated.

-33- 


67  percent  of  the  state  was  unchurched  when  Rev.  Partin  went  there  and  now 
74  percent  of  the  state  is  unchurched.  There  are  nine  churches  in  their 
association  and  10  counties.  His  church  started  with  11  persons  and  now  has 
14.  Rev.  Partin  has  been  there  for  15  months.  When  the  building  they  were  us- 
ing for  a  church  went  up  for  sale,  he  wrote  to  the  churches  asking  for  dona- 
tions and  was  able  to  purchase  7Vz  acres.  There  are  now  22  members  in  his 
church  and  they  have  started  building  the  church  building.  They  had  85 
children  in  Vacation  Bible  School  this  summer  and  had  111  children  in  V.B.S.

Carolina  had  750  hard  porno  outlets  and  as  of  tonight  there  are  only  125  left. 
Mr.  Privette  had  Mr.  Harold  Bass  and  Mr.  Craig  Little  pass  out  copies  of 
"Building  a  Better  Tomorrow  Through  Today's  Actions"  to  refer  to  a  couple  of 
articles  in  it.  The  gambling  issue  is  the  biggest  issue  North  Carolina  is  facing 
today.  Mr.  Privette  will  give  all  pastors  a  copy  of  the  book  "Gambling,  the

name  and  address  on  to  receive  "Tomorrow."

lives  but  "Air  Care"  is  continuing.  Baptist  Hospital  has  performed  two  heart 
transplants  in  the  last  two  months,  900  open  heart  surgeries,  2,000  heart 
catheterizations,  1,900  kidney  transplants  and  9,000  chemotherapy  treat- 
ments. The  hospital  not  only  ministers  to  physical  needs,  but  also  to  spiritual 
needs.  Mr.  Knight  expressed  his  gratitude  to  all  Baptists  for  their  support.

Union  Mission  totaled  $1,025.00.

Baptist  Church.

tist Church.  He  sang  "Bless  This  House"  and  "It  Is  No  Secret  What  God  Can

33.  Rev.  Al  Andrews  brought  the  message  of  the  evening  with  scripture  from 
I  Peter  1:21-22,  "We  Are  All  Christians,"  "As  God's  Children  How  Do  We  Face 
the  Outside  World?"  "Remember  Who  We  Are!"  was  the  theme  of  his 
message.  He  also  read  scripture  from  I  Peter  2:4  "Jesus  Christ  is  our  Founda- 
tion," we  are  the  building  stones  (blocks)  of  God.  Rev.  Andrews  also  read 
scripture  from  I  Peter  2:10-11  and  I  Peter  3:15,  I  Peter  4:1  and  I  Peter  4:19. 

34.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "Love  Lifted  Me"  led  by  Mr.  Craig  Lit- 
tle accompanied  by  Mrs.  Pat  Faw  at  the  piano. 

35.  Moderator  Huffman  introduced  Rev.  Jerry  Smith  as  the  new  pastor  to  the

36.  BUSINESS  SESSION:    NO  BUSINESS 

37.  Dr.  Bill  McKinney  gave  the  Director  of  Missions  Report.  He  called  atten- 
tion to  the  printed  report  in  the  Book  of  Reports.  He  stated  that  he  and  Robbie 
have  enjoyed  the  past  10  years.  He  also  called  attention  to  the  Digest  of 
Church  Letters.  Baptisms  are  down  16  percent  from  last  year.  Only  by  humbl- 
ing ourselves,  praying  and  turning  from  our  wicked  ways  will  we  be  ready  for 
revival.  He  challenged  every  church  to  make  prayer  a  priority  and  also  evange- 
lism during  the  coming  year. 

Dr.  McKinney  stressed  that  the  Bible  should  be  taken  as  the  truth,  not  used 
as  someone  else's  interpretation.  Issues  that  confront  Southern  Baptists:  (1) 
"Who  are  we?"  "What  are  we?"  (2)  "What  are  we  for?  What  is  our  reason  for 
being?"  (3)  "What  are  missions?"  (a)  Is  it  seeking  to  win  somebody  to  Christ? 
(b)  Is  it  discipling  to  believers?  (c)  Is  it  ministering  to  hurts? 

What  is  the  future  of  Southern  Baptists?  Will  they  split?  No  one  can  more 
than  guess.  Dr.  McKinney  ended  his  report  with  prayer. 

38.  Moderator  Huffman  introduced  Rev.  Charles  Edwards  to  give  the  Reso- 
lutions Report,  but  they  were  still  meeting  and  were  unable  to  give  their  report 
at  the  time. 

39.  Mr.  Jim  Triplett  gave  the  Memorials  Committee  Report.  There  were  119 
deaths  last  year.  The  report  was  adopted. 

40.  Rev.  Charles  Edwards  gave  the  Resolutions  Committee  Report  (report  is 
printed  elsewhere  in  this  book).  The  report  was  adopted. 

41.  Moderator  Huffman  presented  Dr.  and  Mrs.  McKinney  with  a  check  for 
$1,208.50  which  was  a  gift  from  the  churches  for  their  tenth  anniversary  with 
the  association.  Dr.  McKinney  expressed  his  thanks  for  the  gift. 

42.  Rev.  Jerry  Smith  gave  the  benediction  and  the  meeting  was  adjourned.

Resolutions  Committee  Report 

RESOLUTION  #1 

The  Brushy  Mountain  Association  in  its  115th  annual  meeting,  October  6-7, 
1986,  expresses  heartfelt  appreciation  to  both  Oakwoods  and  Hinshaw  Street 
Baptist  Churches  for  the  fine  expression  of  hospitality  extended  to  the  mes- 
sengers of  the  association. 

We  acknowledge  our  debt  of  gratitude  for  the  excellent  meal  that  was  pro- 
vided by  the  ladies  of  the  churches  on  Monday  evening. 

A.  We  commend  the  officers  of  the  association  for  the  excellent  work  they 
have  done  in  the  previous  year. 

B.  We  particularly  thank  Moderator  Monroe  Huffman  for  the  manner  in 
which  he  presided  over  the  meetings. 

C.  We  offer  a  special  word  of  appreciation  to  Dr.  McKinney  for  the  service 
he  has  rendered  to  the  association  during  these  past  10  years. 

D.  We  offer  profound  gratitude  to  all  of  the  messengers  and  visitors  who 
have  contributed  to  the  effective  functioning  of  this,  our  115th  annual 
session. 

RESOLUTION  #2 

Whereas,  the  availability  of  pornographic  films  are  readily  available  to 
guests  of  Holiday  Inns  through  the  satellite  channel  in  many  of  Holiday  Inn 
motels,  and 

Whereas,  films  of  this  nature  contribute  to  the  moral  decline  of  our  nation, 

Be  it  resolved  that  we,  the  messengers  to  the  115th  Annual  Session  of  the 
Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association,  find  the  distribution  of  pornographic 
films  to  be  deplorable,  and  call  upon  Mr.  Rose,  Chairman  of  Holiday  Corpora- 
tion, to  initiate  action  that  would  curtail  the  distribution  of  such  material. 

Be  it  further  resolved  that  members  of  our  churches  be  encouraged  to  re- 
frain from  using  the  facilities  of  Holiday  Inns  where  these  films  are  available, 
until  such  a  time  as  a  change  in  policy  occurs.

State  Missions  Report 

The  very  center  and  star  of  our  State  Missions  is,  of  course,  Togo  in  West 
Africa.  This  was  an  outgrowth  of  the  missions  that  was  begun  by  Baptist  Men 
in  1971-72  when  our  very  first  survey  as  to  the  very  feasibility  for  such  work 
was  made  by  a  group  of  men  in  N.C.  who  have  been  since  known  as  the  "Mis- 
sions 25  Club,"  of  which  I  became  a  member. 

The  status  at  Togo  is  that  a  training  center  has  been  completed  and  63 
wells  bored  and  cased  with  the  individual  villages  installing  their  own  "made 
in  Togo"  yellow  pumps  being  operated  and  maintained  by  the  natives  in  each 
village.  Also,  the  210  foot  bridge  is  nearly  complete  and  may  very  well  be  so  by 
the  time  you  read  this  report.  We  have  also  made  many  catchment  ponds  and 
fish  farms  and  are  starting  a  second  bridge. 

Dr.  Roy  Smith  was  in  Togo  early  this  year  and  told  a  group  of  us  of  his  pleas- 
ure and  his  impressions  of  the  missionary  efforts  going  forth  in  Togo  today. 
Jim  Lambert  is  in  Togo  now  (August)  conducting  a  Youth  Conference.  As  of 
now  the  State  Brotherhood  has  started  a  program  for  R.A.'s  and  materials  are 
already  there. 

Of  direct  interest  to  us  is  the  presence  of  Clayton  Bond,  our  senior  mis- 
sionary in  Togo  at  our  State  Convention  to  be  held  in  Greensboro  in 
November. 

I  will  not  report  on  the  missionary  effort  being  devoted  to  the  NASCAR 
races  in  North  Wilkesboro  this  year  since  they  will  be  covered  in  more  detail 
by  the  Brotherhood  Report  of  Clinton  Call.

General  Board  Report 

Already  with  less  than  a  year  in  service  as  your  representative  to  the 
General  Board,  we  have  been  involved  in  two  special  and  two  regular  meet- 
ings with  a  great  many  things  being  discussed  and  work  begun  or  ended. 

Of  course  our  very  first  meeting  was  an  indoctrination  meeting  where  our 
state  and  national  work  was  explained  to  us.  Since  we  had  some  experience 
along  these  lines  in  previous  years  and  had  a  wide  knowledge  of  both  minis- 
ters and  lay  people,  we  found  this  quite  easy  and  it  was  a  lot  like  a  reunion  in 
many  ways. 

We  first  met  at  Caraway  Conference  Center  where  we  have  been  attending 
meetings  since  it  was  constructed  and  where  we  approved  the  continuance  of 
our  graduate  program  for  women  only  at  Meredith  College.  Next,  we  were 

-46- 


assigned  to  the  Wake  Forest  University  Campus  at  Winston-Salem  where  the 
subject  of  Wake  Forest  was  discussed  at  length  especially  by  the  members  of 
the  council  on  Christian  Higher  Education  on  which  I  am  privileged  to  serve 
during  my  term  on  the  General  Board.  I  regret  that  I  am  unable  to  attend  the 
called  meeting  regarding  the  Wake  Forest  situation  on  this  September  5  since 
I  will  be  on  the  West  coast  of  the  U.S.A.  I  expect  a  very  serious  alteration  to  our 
relationship  with  Wake  Forest  with  the  possibility  of  a  "friendly  separation."  I 
will  personally  report  on  this  at  our  October  association  meeting  if  time  per- 
mits. 

There  are  a  number  of  things  that  should  concern  you  that  I  may  be  able  to 
report  at  that  time  also.  These  may  concern  our  financial  situation,  the  Camp- 
bell Study  Committee,  the  Fleet  Car  report,  the  status  of  Eutaw  Heights 
Church  at  Fayetteville  and  Fruitland. 

Respectully  submitted,

Brotherhood  Report 

Baptist  Men  continue  to  be  deeply  involved  in  North  Carolina  and  Global 
Ministries.  We  have  completed  our  five-year  partnership  with  West  Virginia 
Baptists,  however,  we  will  be  involved  by  request  only  through  homeland  pro- 
jects. 

Many  Baptist  Men  were  involved  in  42  Lay  Renewal  Weekends.  Ministries 
were  continued  in  prison  units  and  in  combatting  pornography,  alcohol,  and 
drug  use.  The  Disaster  Relief  Unit  has  been  on  display  throughout  the  western 
section  of  North  Carolina,  recruiting  volunteers  to  operate  the  unit.  Ten  men 
and  women  teams  are  needed  to  man  this  unit. 

Volunteers  from  North  Carolina  have  gone  in  steady  numbers  to  Togo,  West 
Africa,  since  July  of  1984  to  be  a  part  of  a  "Partnership  in  Wholeness"  that 
North  Carolina  and  the  Togo  mission  are  involved  in.  A  210  foot  bridge  that 
spans  across  the  Mono  River  has  now  been  completed  as  of  July  1, 1986.  Five 
hundred  yards  of  concrete  and  many  hours  of  volunteer  labor  were  used  to 
build  this  bridge  which  makes  it  possible  for  people  in  Moretan  and  other 
villages  to  take  their  crops  to  market,  get  to  medical  facilities,  and  to  other 
parts  of  the  country.  According  to  the  village  chiefs,  this  is  one  of  the  greatest 
needs. 

Also,  water  wells  have  been  drilled  in  record  numbers.  To  date,  63  good 
wells  that  produce  water  have  been  drilled;  also  to  date,  seven  supply  ponds 
have  been  built,  the  smallest  two  acres  and  the  largest  twelve  acres.  There  are 
15  churches,  17  preaching  points;  total  baptisms  as  of  August  1, 1986  totaled 
847.  Note  these  go  through  a  six  month  Bible  study  after  their  profession  of 
faith.  There  are  20  two-room  mud  huts  and  one  classroom  building  completed. 
One  hundred  volunteers  to  date  have  gone  to  Togo,  West  Africa  in  1986. 

At  the  Associational  Level: 

Several  R.A.'s  participated  in  bike-a-thons  to  help  support  the  Leukemia 
Foundation.  The  Racetrack  Ministry  was  formed  and  held  at  the  North  Wilkes-

Fruitland  Baptist  Bible  Institute  Report 

The  year  1986  may  be  a  pivotal  point  for  Fruitland  Baptist  Bible  Institute.  As 
a  result  of  drastically  reducing  the  program  during  1986,  the  ministry  ended 
that  year  with  a  surplus  of  more  than  $16,000  after  all  expenses  including 
$17,000  paid  on  the  deficit.  An  additional  allocation  of  $46,000  was  provided 
through  the  Cooperative  Program,  and  the  regular  schedule  was  resumed  as 
of  January  1986. 

The  endowment  fund  is  growing.  The  effort  on  the  part  of  the  alumni  to  raise 
two  million  dollars  has  been  put  on  hold  for  the  present  time.  The  fund  at  pres- 
ent has  exceeded  $200,000. 

The  Advanced  Diploma  program  is  developing  gradually.  Two  advanced 
diploma  courses  are  being  added  in  1986;  Missions  502  taught  by  David  Lang- 
ford,  director  of  Brotherhood  in  North  Carolina  and  Evangelism  502  taught  by 
Robert  Watson,  director  of  Church  Extension  in  North  Carolina. 

The  enrollment  remains  fairly  constant,  averaging  about  140  each  quarter. 
The  25  faculty  positions  are  filled  with  qualified  persons,  elected  by  the 
General  Board  of  the  Baptist  State  Convention. 

A  general  statement  about  conditions  at  Fruitland  during  the  year  is  that 

-48- 


there  is  a  good  spirit  and  good  expectations  among  the  staff  and  students 
with  gratitude  to  God  and  N.C.  Baptists.

Missions  Committee  Report 

At  our  1985  annual  session  messengers  approved  the  recommendation  that 
Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association  provide  partial  support  for  West  Union 
Baptist  Mission  in  West  Virginia  for  the  next  five  years.  The  approved  support 
schedule  was  $6,000.00  for  1985-86,  $4,800.00  for  1986-87,  $3,600.00  for 
1987-88,  $2,400.00  for  1988-89  and  $1,200.00  for  1989-90. 

We  are  beginning  our  second  year  of  this  commitment.  We  rejoice  in  the 
work  that  is  being  done  by  Pastor  Mark  Partin  and  his  congregation  and  we 
also  continue  to  support  them  with  much  prayer  and  rejoice  in  this  mission 
opportunity. 

Closer  home,  our  ministries  at  Wilkes  Towers  and  Foster-Richardson  Rest 
Home  have  continued  throughout  the  year  and  we  anticipate  uninterrupted 
success  during  1986-87. 

The  Missions  Committee  wants  to  encourage  pastors  and  church  leaders  to 
promote  missions  in  the  churches  through  prayer,  giving,  going  and  doing.

Church  Training  Report 

As  the  new  Associational  Church  Training  leader,  I  hope  the  coming  year

establishing  of  new  Church  Training  Programs  within  the  churches  of  the 
Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association.

School  of  Christian  Studies  Report 

Please  consult  the  Associational  Annuals  for  1981  and  1982  concerning  in- 
formation of  introduction  pertaining  to  Seminary  Extension  Programs 
throughout  the  United  States  and  North  Carolina.  North  Carolina  leads  all  our 
states  in  Seminary  Extension  Programs. 

Last  fall  we  offered  one  course  of  study  -  BB  0100  -  "How  to  Understand  the 
Bible"  a  basic  introduction  course  to  the  nature  and  purpose  of  the  Bible  and 
how  to  understand  it.  This  course  is  a  college-level  study  and  was  taught  by 
Dr.  Bill  McKinney.  We  had  only  seven  persons  enrolled  in  this  course  (see 
description  page  53  of  1985  annual). 

In  the  spring  of  this  year,  1986,  we  offered  one  course  -  EC  51  -  "Evangelism 
in  Action,"  but  we  did  not  have  enough  participants  to  proceed  with  the  study 
(see  description  page  53  of  1985  annual). 

This  fall,  we  are  offering  two  courses  of  study.  (1)  "First  Corinthians"  -  NT 
0176,  a  study  of  Paul's  letter  to  the  church  at  Corinth.  The  problems  that  Paul 
dealt  with  in  this  church  have  confronted  the  Christian  church  through  the 
ages  and  continue  to  be  the  same  today.  Some  of  these  problems  are:  unity  in 
the  church,  marriage  and  divorce,  and  Christian  gifts.  There  is  always  a  need 
to  study  this  Book  of  the  Bible!  This  is  a  college-level  course  and  the  teacher 
is  W.  Paul  Shoupe.  The  course  will  begin  October  14,  1986  and  continue  on 
Tuesday  nights  through  December  9,  1986,  from  7:00-9:00  p.m.  The  cost  of  the 
course  is  $21.00.  The  place  of  meeting  is  the  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church.  The 
text  is  "The  First  Epistle  of  Paul  to  the  Corinthians,"  by  Morris.  The  Study 
Guide  writer  is  Dr.  Billy  Simmons,  New  Orleans  Baptist  Theological  Seminary. 
(2)  "Family  Life  Today"  -  AC  76  -  a  study  of  family  life  from  a  Christian  perspec- 
tive, with  attention  to  biblical  and  contemporary  patterns  of  family  life.  Chris- 
tian teachings  are  applied  to  such  issues  as  family  communication,  conflict, 
finances,  divorce,  sexuality,  and  worship  in  the  home.  This  is  a  Basic  Curricu- 
lum course  and  no  exams  will  be  required.  The  cost  is  $15.00.  The  time  and 
place  is  the  same  as  course  number  one  above.  The  teacher  of  this  course  will 
be  Rev.  Dale  Ellenburg. 

It  is  our  hope  that  each  pastor  will  consider  participating  in  these  courses,

and  that  persistent  announcement  will  be  given  to  the  congregation  encour- 
aging participation.

Woman's  Missionary  Union  Report 

What  a  great  time  to  be  a  part  of  W.M.U.  North  Carolina  Woman's  Mis- 
sionary Union  completed  100  years  of  service  to  missions  through  our  chur- 
ches. S.B.C.  W.M.U.  will  be  celebrating  its  100  years  in  1988.  There  have  been 
many  changes.  Sunbeams  are  now  Mission  Friends  and  Y.W.A.'s  have 
become  Acteens;  Baptist  Women  meetings  are  groups  instead  of  circles.  But 
the  tasks  are  the  same!  Teach  Missions!  Engage  in  Mission  Action  and  Per- 
sonal Witnessing;  support  missions;  and  interpret  and  undergird  the  work  of 
the  church  and  the  denomination.  We  looked  back  over  a  rich  heritage  of  dedi- 
cation, faithfulness  and  hard  work  beginning  with  Fannie  E.S.  Heck  and  pass- 
ing through  many  hands,  especially  the  committed  women  of  our  local  chur- 
ches. W.M.U.  begins  a  second  100  years  with  the  Centennial  theme  of  "Multi- 
ply the  Vision."  In  cooperation  with  the  Bold  Mission  Thrust,  we  are  working 
toward  doubling  our  membership  in  all  age  levels  by  1988. 

Lewis  Fork  Baptist  Church  started  an  Acteen,  G.A.'s  and  Mission  Friends 
organization.  Beverly  Cook,  Associational  G.A.  Director,  helped  with  the  G.A. 
and  this  led  to  the  other  organizations. 

Our  year  began  on  September  12  with  an  Associational  W.M.U.  Leadership 
Conference  held  at  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church  to  train  church  leaders  in 
all  age  levels.  This  is  a  time  for  getting  to  know  the  leaders  and  sharing  with 
each  other.  Martha  Colwell,  Acteens  Director,  taught  the  mission  study  for 
foreign  missions  in  six  of  our  churches. 

On  November  14  the  W.M.U.  held  a  foreign  mission  study  for  all  age  levels, 
including  the  Brotherhood,  at  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church.  The  study  was  on 
"Models  of  Church  Planting." 

The  G.A.  leaders  from  our  churches  had  a  Christmas  Coffee  at  the  home  of 
Beverly  Cook  on  December  14.  January  8,  1986  marked  the  100th  birthday  of 
North  Carolina  W.M.U.  Many  of  our  churches  observed  the  celebration  with 
such  activities  as  church-wide  birthday  parties;  old-fashioned  night  with 
covered  dish  dinners;  history  of  W.M.U.  was  told,  histories  of  local  churches 
were  compiled;  the  life  of  Miss  Fannie  E.S.  Heck  was  presented  in  dramas. 
January  8  was  also  the  beginning  of  100  days  of  prayer  for  missions. 

The  W.M.U.  sponsored  a  mini  prayer  retreat  on  January  18  from  10:00  a.m.  to 
12:00  noon  for  all  age  levels,  including  the  Brotherhood,  at  Wilkesboro  Baptist 
Church.  The  emphasis  was  on  100  days  of  prayer  and  Good  News  America 
Revivals.  The  adults  were  led  by  Shannon  Wyrick  who  gave  a  very  inspirational 
message. 

An  Associational  G.A.  Lock-in  was  held  on  January  24  at  First  Baptist,  North 
Wilkesboro.  About  56  girls  and  their  leaders  enjoyed  a  good  spiritual  and  fun 
time.  W.M.U.  sponsored  a  Home  Mission  study  at  Liberty  Grove  Baptist 
Church  on  February  20.  The  theme  this  year  was  "Challenge  to  Servanthood." 
The  adults  were  led  by  Ellen  Keller,  retired  from  the  Home  Mission  Board.

The  Acteens  of  the  association  came  together  on  March  14  for  a  Banquet 
and  Coronation  service  at  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church.  The  guest  speaker 
was  Stella  Austin,  retired  missionary  to  Nigeria.  The  girls  enjoyed  hearing  how 
teenagers  of  another  place  lived. 

The  North  Carolina  W.M.U.  held  its  annual  meeting  in  Raleigh  on  April  17-19 
with  many  from  Brushy  Mountain  attending.  During  the  meeting  a  historical 
drama,  "And  Here  Begins  the  Day,"  written  by  Carolyn  C.  Robinson,  was 
presented.  A  Spring  Fling  was  held  at  Cub  Creek  Baptist  Church  on  May  1  to 
bring  together  our  B.Y.W.'s.  The  guest  speaker  was  Marian  Phillips,  retired 
missionary  to  Nigeria.  A  nursery  was  provided  by  Mission  Friends  Director, 
Brenda  Caudill. 

On  May  8  the  W.M.U.  Annual  Meeting  was  held  at  Pleasant  Home  Baptist 
Church.  Lillian  Foster,  Centennial  Director,  gave  a  brief  history  and  special 
"tidbits"  from  churches  in  our  association.  Robin  Joines,  a  G.A.,  sang  the 
"Sunbeam"  song  and  Carlos  Pardue  gave  a  slide  presentation  of  his  recent 
trip  to  Togo,  West  Africa.  This  is  a  part  of  North  Carolina/Togo  Partnership  in 
Missions. 

The  Associational  W.M.U.  Council  worked  hard  to  make  this  year  a  success. 
My  special  thanks  and  appreciation  goes  to  Mae  Duncan,  Assistant  W.M.U. 
Director;  Ruth  Craig,  W.M.U.  Director;  Lynda  Phillips,  B.Y.W.  Director;  Martha 
Colwell,  Acteens  Director;  Beverly  Cook,  G.A.  Director;  Brenda  Caudill,  Mis- 
sion Friends  Director;  and  Lillian  Foster,  Centennial  Director.  Also,  to  the 
church  and  leaders  of  our  association,  thank  you  for  your  prayers  and  support. 

As  another  year  comes  to  a  close  and  shadows  fall,  may  we  look  to  God  to 
light  our  path  as  church  members  in  order  that  we  might  see  the  vision  and 
commit  ourselves  to  missions  in  order  to  share  God's  love  with  everyone  with 
whom  we  come  in  contact.

Betty  Pardue 

Properties  Committee  Report 

There  has  been  no  activity  by  the  Properties  Committee  this  year  due  to  the 
lack  of  funds  in  the  associational  office.  Normally,  we  would  have  done  some 
work  on  the  associational  office  and  residence  in  our  ongoing  maintenance 
function.  The  association's  properties  are  in  relatively  good  condition  at  the 
present  time,  but  routine  maintenance  should  not  be  deferred  on  a  continuing 
basis. 

The  caretaker  position  has  not  been  occupied  at  all  this  year  as  funds  were 
not  available.  The  buildings  and  grounds  have  been  cared  for  by  the  associa- 
tional staff  on  an  after-hours  basis.  We  hope  to  be  able  to  fill  that  position  and 
to  do  deferred  maintenance  during  the  coming  year.

Evangelism  Report 

"Good  News  America  -  God  Loves  You"  consumed  the  major  interest  of 
most  of  us  in  1985-86.  Our  united  effort  to  win  our  land  for  Christ  produced 
good  results.  In  our  association  56  professions  of  faith  resulted  in  56  baptisms 
as  a  direct  result  of  Good  News  America.  Four  hundred  twenty-one  rededica- 
tions  resulted  as  well  as  35  transfers  of  membership.  Resulting  from  the 
Evangelistic  People  Search  and  Scripture  Distribution  of  4,655  New  Testa- 
ments and  the  discovery  of  1,664  prospects  -  88  of  these  were  immediately 
enrolled  in  Sunday  School. 

Final  word  is  not  yet  in  as  to  the  number  of  persons  eventually  reached  for 
Christ  through  the  simultaneous  effort.  Churches  are  encouraged  to  sustain 
the  momentum  started  in  the  campaign. 

Lay  Evangelism  School  is  still  perhaps  the  best  tool  local  churches  have  in 
training  soul  winners.  Interested  pastors  and  lay  leaders  should  contact  me  or 
the  Director  of  Missions  regarding  plans  to  conduct  a  Lay  Evangelism  School 
in  your  church. 

Survival  Kit  for  New  Christians  is  also  a  resource  that  is  virtually  untapped 
in  nurturing  disciples  and  training  them  as  soul  winners.  This  help  can  be  ac- 
quired by  ordering  from  the  undated  literature  order  form  -  Baptist  Sunday 
School  Board  or  by  calling  the  Baptist  Book  Store  toll  free  number  -

Foreign  Mission  Report 

Someone,  somewhere,  cares.  This  is  the  story  of  missions,  all  missions.  As 
Keith  Parks,  our  Foreign  Mission  Board  Secretary,  said  after  a  recent  tour  of 
mission  fields:  "People  of  all  kinds  desperately  need  the  Lord."  To  give  to  all 
these  people  the  message  of  Christ's  Salvation  is  still  Bold  Missions  goal  for 
A.D.  2000. 

How  much  we  know,  pray,  and  give  reveal  how  much  Southern  Baptists 
really  care.  Here  are  some  facts: 

•  We  have  over  3,500  missionaries  in  106  countries,  a  2.57  increase 

•  428  persons  were  baptized  each  day  last  year 

•  1,354  persons  were  engaged  in  Partnership  Missions  between  home 
and  foreign  mission  fields,  a  40  percent  increase 

•  The  Lottie  Moon  Offering  totalled  $66,862,113.65  for  1985 

What  may  be  the  first  step  in  a  new  era  of  Foreign  Missions  was  the  recent 
convening  of  the  Global  Evangelism  Strategy  Consultation,  with  leaders  of  21 
countries  participating.  This  Consultation  opened  windows  to  the  future  in  the 
way  we  will  be  doing  missions  in  the  years  and  decades  ahead.  These  Baptist 
leaders  agreed  that  there  must  be  changes  made. 

As  we  look  forward  to  the  Foreign  Mission  Week  of  Prayer,  with  the  theme: 
"I  Will  Pray,"  and  our  Lottie  Moon  Offering  goal  of  $75,000,000.00,  we  are  chal- 
lenged to  personal  and  organized  commitment  to  enlarge  our  missionary 


-53- 


force  to  5,000  by  A.D.  2000,  and  to  125  countries.  We  are  happy  to  report  that 
lay  people  from  our  own  association  have  answered  the  call  to  volunteer  mis- 
sions. "Who  follows  in  their  train?"

Home  Missions  Report 

Sharing  Christ's  love  is  what  Home  Missions  is  all  about.  Home  Mission 
personnel  go  about  it  in  many  different  ways.  The  Home  Mission  Board  has 
three  objectives:   evangelism,  church  starting,  and  ministry. 

More  than  156  million  people  in  the  U.S.  do  not  know  Christ  as  Savior.  Many 
more  millions  who  claim  Him  as  Savior  do  not  let  Him  be  Lord  of  Life.  Many 
towns  and  countries  have  no  evangelical  church  or  mission.  Millions  are  func- 
tionally illiterate,  without  jobs,  without  dignity,  and  without  hope.  The  Home 
Mission  Board's  3,635  home  mission  personnel  and  49,728  volunteers  are 
committed  to  meeting  these  spiritual  and  physical  needs. 

But  they  cannot  do  it  alone.  They  need  your  help  to  reach  the  Bold  Mission 
Thrust  goal  of  sharing  the  gospel  with  every  person  in  the  U.S.  by  A.D.  2000.  So 
look  carefully  about  the  many  ways  home  missions  work.  Then  decide  where 
you  may  become  involved  in  missions  right  where  you  live. 

Evangelism  must  be  the  center  of  all  we  do.  This  is  done  by  regular  personal 
witnessing,  mass  evangelism  and  evangelism  development  as  done  through 
"Good  News  America,  God  Loves  You"  revivals.  Dwight  L  Moody  said,  "You 
may  trace  every  revival  to  a  single  kneeling  person."  The  Home  Mission  Board 
informs  us  of  specific  prayer  needs  through  Home  Mission  studies  and  Weeks 
of  Prayer  for  Home  Missions,  during  which  time  the  Annie  Armstrong  Easter 
Offering  is  given.  Be  a  strong  participant  through  Home  Mission  study,  prayer, 
and  giving.  The  greatest  hope  for  the  future  is  prayer.  Missions  is  what  the  in- 
dividual and  church  does  beyond  its  own  self  interest  in  winning  others  to 
Christ  and  helping  that  person  in  the  Christian  walk. 

There  are  13  programs  assigned  to  the  Home  Mission  Board:  (1) 
Evangelism,  (2)  Associational  ministry,  (3)  Interracial  ministries,  (4)  Christian 
Social  Ministry  -  both  physical  and  spiritual,  (5)  Chaplaincy,  (6)  Church  Exten- 
sion -  starting  new  church,  (7)  Church  loans,  (8)  Interfaith  witnessing,  (9) 
Language  missions,  (10)  Mission  Service  Corps,  (11)  Special  mission 
ministries  -  volunteers,  (12)  Bi-vocational  pastors,  (13)  Education  ministries. 

Our  great  spiritual  leader  of  the  Home  Mission  Board,  Dr.  William  G.  Tanner, 
president  of  the  Home  Mission  Board  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention 
since  1976,  resigned  recently  to  become  the  director  of  the  Baptist  General 
Convention  of  Oklahoma,  his  home  state,  where  his  mission  roots  were 
planted.  Dr.  Tanner  had  been  president  of  the  Oklahoma  Baptist  University 
before  going  to  the  Home  Mission  Board. 

During  the  period  the  Home  Mission  Board  is  without  a  president,  the  exec- 
utive vice  president,  Bob  Banks,  and  the  four  vice  presidents  and  administra- 
tive assistants  will  continue  their  duties  as  members  of  the  Home  Mission 
Board  Administrative  Council.

Following  the  Home  Mission  Board  bylaws,  elected  officers  of  the  Board  of 
Directors  are  appointing  a  search  committee  of  five  to  seven  board  members. 
This  committee  will  name  a  successor  to  Dr.  Tanner.

Director  of  Missions  Report 

This  past  year  was  the  tenth  year  of  my  ministry  as  your  Director  of  Mis- 
sions. As  we  begin  the  eleventh  year  of  working  together  in  this  section  of  the 
Father's  vineyard,  it  is  appropriate  to  have  a  look  backward  and  to  look  toward 
the  future.  I  have  deeply  appreciated  your  support  of  the  association  and  of  its 
ministry.  You  have  given  me  a  wealth  of  opportunities  to  serve  among  you,  and 
you  have  been  willing  to  support  many  avenues  of  ministry.  In  the  decade  just 
past,  our  county  has  experienced  significant  growth  in  economic  ways  and  in 
population,  but  we  have  experienced  a  period  of  declining  Christian  commit- 
ment and  an  erosion  of  Christian  values  in  society.  These  have  been  challeng- 
ing times,  and  our  response  to  change  has  not  always  matched  the  challenge. 
We  have  seen  declines  in  commitment  to  Bible  study,  discipleship  develop- 
ment, and  mission  education.  Financial  support  has  remained  stable  --  we 
have  become  a  people  who  want  to  pay  for  ministry  rather  than  be  personally 
involved  in  ministry.  This  is  the  most  distressing  fact  of  our  associational  life. 

The  1985-86  associational  year  has  some  very  positive  features.  The  Good 
News  America  revivals  were  certainly  helpful  to  our  churches.  We  have 
reached  out  and  stretched  ourselves  to  assist  in  the  establishment  of  a  new 
congregation  at  West  Union,  West  Virginia.  We  have  seen  that  work  grow  as 
the  Lord  has  blessed  our  effort  and  the  efforts  of  that  small  congregation.  We 
have  launched  a  ministry  to  racing  fans  at  North  Wilkesboro  Speedway  and 
have  provided  a  worship  opportunity  at  the  First  Union  400  race  this  spring 
and  at  the  Holly  Farms  400  this  fall.  This  year  has  been  a  "mixed  bag" 
statistically.  As  this  report  is  being  written,  it  appears  that  baptisms  and  Sun- 
day School  enrollment  are  on  the  down  side.  Church  Training,  Vacation  Bible 
School,  Brotherhood  and  W.M.U.  have  held  about  even.  Total  receipts  by  our 
churches  appears  to  be  up  rather  strongly  with  some  gain  in  Cooperative  Pro- 
gram Support  and  in  Total  Missions  Support  while  Associational  Missions 
Support  has  not  shown  a  corresponding  increase. 

What  does  the  future  hold  for  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association?  You 
are  the  ones  who  will  answer  that  question.  The  leadership  of  your  association 
is  in  process  of  dreaming  some  dreams  for  ministry.  Your  involvement  and 
your  support  will  determine  which  dreams  become  reality.  As  we  begin  the 
eleventh  year  of  my  ministry  with  you,  I  want  to  affirm  my  pledge  to  give 
myself  to  the  doing  of  what  our  Father  wants  done  to  the  full  limit  of  my 
strength  and  capability.  Will  you  join  me  in  that  pledge?

Annuity  Board  Report 

Southern  Baptists  are  launching  a  bold  Expanded  Church  Annuity  Plan.  The 
plan  is  for  churches  and  those  who  serve  them.  It  is  designed  "For  People 
With  A  Vision,"  like  yourself,  who  want  their  retirement  dreams  to  come  true. 
To  be  a  part  of  this  Plan  --  you  must  begin  your  preparation  NOW. 

For  nearly  70  years  the  Annuity  Board  has  worked  as  a  partner  with  pastors, 
church  staffs,  churches  and  state  conventions  to  provide  the  best  retirement 
and  insurance  benefits  and  services  available. 

The  Expanded  Church  Annuity  Plan  is  a  major  step  toward  making  your  re- 
tirement dreams  come  true  in  the  face  of  inflation  and  increasing  financial 
demands. 

Throughout  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention,  churches,  more  than  ever 
before,  are  establishing  and  expanding  their  retirement  programs  for  those 
who  serve  the  Lord. 

NOW  is  the  time  for  your  church  to  adopt  the  EXPANDED  PLAN.  The  Ex- 
panded Plan,  with  it  increased  benefits,  goes  into  effect  January  1,  1988.  All 
retirement  contributions  under  prior  plans  will  continue  to  accumulate  earn- 
ings as  a  part  of  the  Expanded  Church  Annuity  Plan. 

Here  is  how  the  Expanded  Church  Annuity  Plan  benefits  you.  The  key  to  this 
unique  program  is  that  contributions  to  your  retirement  income  account  come 
from  three  sources: 

1.  You  the  participant 

2.  Your  church,  and 

3.  Your  Baptist  State  Convention 

It  is  a  partnership,  a  covenant  relationship!  A  unique  commitment  to  care 
for  those  who  serve  the  Lord,  exclusive  to  Southern  Baptist  Churches. 

This  Plan  works  and  serves  Southern  Baptists  as  no  other  retirement  pro- 
gram can.  Because  of  these  elements  YOUR  retirement  program  works  harder 
for  you  today  and  will  be  worth  more  tomorrow.

Moderator's  Report 

I  assumed  the  position  of  moderator  at  the  close  of  the  1985  annual 
meeting  at  Goshen  Baptist  Church. 

On  January  6,  1986,  I  called  the  quarterly  meeting  to  order  at  Oakwoods 
Baptist  Church.  Welcome  was  extended  to  the  association  by  Pastor  Dale 
Ellenburg.  Devotion  was  by  Rev.  Bill  Nicholson.  The  business  session  was 
held  and  announcements  were  made.  Special  music  was  by  Harold  Bass  with 
Craig  Little  at  the  piano.  A  message  was  brought  by  Evangelist  Billy  Deason. 

I  called  the  April  14,  1986,  quarterly  meeting  to  order  at  Lewis  Fork  Baptist 
Church  at  7:00  p.m.  Pastor  Sherrill  Wellborn  extended  a  welcome  to  the 
association.  Rev.  Jack  Calloway  gave  devotions.  Announcements  were  made 
and  the  business  session  was  held.  The  Nominating  Committee  Report  was 
given  by  Rev.  Charles  Edwards.  Officers  of  the  association  were  elected  for 
the  coming  year.  Music  was  by  the  church  choir  and  David  Walsh.  The 

-56- 


message  was  brought  by  Rev.  George  Wallace.  Benediction  was  brought  by 
Rev.  R.A.  Call. 

On  July  7, 1986  I  called  the  quarterly  meeting  to  order  at  Wilkesboro  Baptist 
Church  at  7:00  p.m.  Welcome  was  extended  to  the  association  by  Brother  Hal 
Melton  in  the  absence  of  the  pastor,  Al  Andrews.  Congregational  singing  was 
led  by  Barry  Shepherd.  Announcements  were  made  and  no  business  was 
brought  before  the  association.  The  meeting  was  devoted  to  Key  Leadership 
Training. 

I  have  attended  the  Coordinating  Council  meetings  and  various  committee 
meetings  during  this  associational  year. 

We  are  looking  forward  to  the  annual  meeting  in  October  and  the  good 
fellowship,  preaching,  and  singing.

Ordination  Committee  Report 

The  Ordination  Committee  has  not  been  called  upon  to  examine  any  candi- 
dates for  the  ministry  in  the  past  year.  Apparently  we  need  to  "pray,  therefore, 
the  Lord  of  the  harvest  to  send  our  laborers  into  his  harvest."

Sunday  School  Report 

For  a  variety  of  reasons,  all  churches  suffer  from  having  a  large  number  of 
inactive,  uninvolved,  and  unenlisted  church  members.  Currently  there  are 
about  14  million  members  of  Southern  Baptist  churches.  Approximately  four 
million  of  the  resident  members  are  not  enrolled  in  Sunday  School.  These 
statistics  mean  that  35  out  of  every  100  resident  members  are  not  involved  in 
the  church's  major  program  and  probably  engage  in  little  or  no  Bible  study  ac- 
tivities. Over  400,000  in  North  Carolina  of  our  own  church  members  are  not  in 
Sunday  School.  This  would  also  hold  true  with  our  Baptist  churches  in  Wilkes 
County. 

A  new  emphasis  in  Sunday  School  work  began  in  1985-86  with  "Challenge 
10/90."  The  new  challenge  will  encourage  Southern  Baptist  to  enroll  10  million 
persons  in  Bible  study  by  1990.  A  great  part  of  the  emphasis  will  be  carried  to 
the  churches  through  the  associational  Sunday  School  program.  With  this  in 
mind,  we  should  look  at  what  we  have  done  in  1985-86  and  also  make  plans 
and  set  goals  for  1986-87. 

Training  Sunday  School  workers  in  evangelism  was  taught  in  many  of  our 
churches,  and  as  you  know,  last  fall  1985  was  totally  dedicated  to  the  "Good 
News  America"  revivals,  People  Search  Scripture  Distribution,  and  related 
Sunday  School  emphasis.  Then  we  promoted  January  Bible  Study  which  does 
come  under  the  Sunday  School  area  as  far  as  promotion  is  concerned. 

The  Vacation  Bible  School  Clinic  was  held  at  Wilkesboro  Baptist  Church 
again  this  year  in  April.  We  were  pleased  with  the  number  of  churches  who  at- 

-57- 


tended  and  particularly  the  interest  in  Back  Yard  Bible  Clubs  by  several  of  our 
churches.  Our  association  won  the  "Edward  L  Grice"  award  for  the  year 
because  of  the  number  of  churches  having  V.B.S. 

Among  other  training  events,  we  did  attend  Key  Leadership  at  Ridgecrest  in 
May  and  also  Mini-Sunday  School  Week  at  Caraway.  The  Pastor-Sunday 
School  Council  Planning  Workshop  was  held  at  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist 
Church  on  August  14,  1986. 

The  Associational  Training  School  this  year  was  held  at  Wilkesboro  Baptist 
Church  and  we  presented  the  "How  to  Guide  Series"  for  each  age  group  and 
did  special  training  for  general  officers.  "Basic  Sunday  School  Work,"  "In- 
troduction to  the  Bible"  and  "What  Baptists  Believe"  was  led  by  Lewis  Gentry 
who  works  with  the  State  Sunday  School  Department  as  a  part-time  consul- 
tant. 

With  the  help  of  Rev.  Dale  Ellenburg,  who  is  our  Sunday  School  Outreach 
Director,  we  planned  a  Growth  Spiral  Workshop  which  is  scheduled  for  Oc- 
tober 2-3  at  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church.  Rev.  Bob  Bodenharmer,  pastor  of  the 
fast  growing  Grace  Baptist  Church  -  Gastonia,  will  lead  this  conference. 

The  ASSISTeam  members  and  I  feel  that  we  must  plan  and  conduct  quality 
Sunday  School  training  events  using  specialists  from  the  State  Sunday 
School  Department  and  other  local  well-trained  individuals  in  order  to  help  im- 
prove our  Sunday  School  work  in  our  association.  We  pray  that  pastors  and  all 
Sunday  School  leaders  in  our  churches  will  recognize  the  importance  of  train- 
ing and  sharpening  our  skills  in  our  particular  positions  in  our  churches. 

You  will  find  the  scheduled  opportunities  for  next  year  in  the  calendar  of  the 
Book  of  Reports.  We  will  promote  these  events  in  the  associational  newslet- 
ter, etc.

The  1987  Annual  of  the 

Brushy  Mountain  Association 

is  dedicated  to 


Carlos  and  Betty  Pardue 

Carlos  and  Betty  are  Wilkes  County  natives.  They  have  been  married  for 
thirty  years  and  have  three  children;  Ricky  (deceased),  Diana  who  is  married  to 
Talmadge  Mathis,  and  Carla,  a  freshman  at  Campbell  University.  They  have 
five  granddaughters.  For  twenty-five  years  they  were  dairy  farmers.  During 
that  time  Carlos  was  chosen  Outstanding  Young  Farmer,  Soil  Conservation 
Farmer,  and  given  the  Woodmen  of  the  Year  Conservation  Award.  They  were 
chosen  North  Carolina  Grange  Young  Couple  of  the  Year  and  given  Honorable 
Mention  at  the  National  Contest  in  Portland,  Oregon.  They  are  active  in  civic 
affairs  in  their  community.  Carlos  has  been  a  coach  of  midget  basketball  and 
football,  Boy  Scout  Master  and  volunteer  fireman. 

They  are  members  of  Wilkesboro  Baptist  Church  where  they  have  served  as 
Sunday  School  teachers,  Church  Training  Leaders,  R.A.,  G.A.  and  Acteen 
leaders.  Carlos  is  active  in  Baptist  Men  and  has  served  as  a  deacon  for  twen- 
ty-five years.  Betty  is  active  in  WMU  and  has  served  as  Associational  Baptist 
Women's  Director  and  is  presently  serving  as  WMU  Director.  She  is  a 
member  of  the  Associational  Strategy  Planning  Committee,  Coordinating 
Council  and  Missions  Committee.  They  have  participated  in  three  Summer 
Youth  Missions  groups  with  their  church.  Carlos  spent  one  month  in  Togo, 
West  Africa  last  year  as  a  volunteer  member  of  the  North  Carolina-Togo  Par- 
nership  team,  helping  to  build  ponds  and  a  bridge  and  tell  the  Good  News. 
Carlos  and  Betty  have  made  a  commitment  to  serve  their  Lord  in  Tanzania, 
East  Africa  for  one  year  as  volunteers,  beginning  in  October  of  this  year.  They 
will  replace  a  missionary  couple. 

Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association  is  pleased  to  honor  Carlos  and  Betty 
for  their  contribution  to  mission  consciousness,  for  their  service  as  church 
leaders  here,  and  for  their  costly  commitment  to  Christ  as  they  live  out  the 
Great  Commission  under  the  leadership  of  His  Holy  Spirit.

A  Brief  History  of  Liberty  Grove  Baptist  Church 

1886-1987 

In  the  year  1886  on  the  third  Saturday  of  December  a  presbytery  consisting  of 
Elder  T.W.  Parish,  I.N.  Haynes  and  J.W.  Burchette,  met  in  the  school  house  of 
District  Number  36,  Wilkes  County,  North  Carolina,  for  the  purpose  of  organi- 
zing a  Missionary  Baptist  Church. 

Elder  T.W.  Parish  was  elected  moderator  and  I.N.  Haynes,  clerk.  After  a  devo- 
tional conducted  by  the  moderator,  they  proceeded  to  complete  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  church.  Seventeen  persons  presented  letters  and  became  members 
of  Liberty  Grove  Baptist  Church. 

From  the  beginning,  Liberty  Grove  gave  both  to  State  and  Foreign  Missions. 
Forty-two  members  were  enrolled  in  B.Y.P.U.  and  fourteen  in  Woman's  Mis- 
sionary Union.  Sunday  School  had  been  organized  and  attended  since  the 
church  began.

Constitution 

PREAMBLE 

We,  the  Baptist  Churches  of  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association, 
unite  according  to  the  plan  and  for  the  purpose  and  work  of  New  Testament 
churches  in  our  world.  To  this  end  and  according  to  the  following  articles,  we 
cooperate  to  the  fullest  extent  possible  with  the  State  and  Southern  Baptist 
Convention  and  subscribe  to  the  principles  of  the  1963  Baptist  Faith  and 
Message  statement. 

ARTICLE  I  —  NAME 

This  body  shall  be  known  as  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association  of 
North  Carolina. 

ARTICLE  II  —  PURPOSE 

It  shall  be  the  purpose  of  this  Association  to  consider  and  promote 
measures  for  increasing  the  harmony,  the  knowledge  and  the  spiritual  life  of 
the  churches  and  for  developing  and  directing  their  energies  and  their  contri- 
butions in  the  advancement  of  Christ's  kingdom  throughout  the  earth,  always 
in  harmony  with  the  teachings  of  the  New  Testament.  This  Association  shall 
be  an  auxiliary  of  the  North  Carolina  Baptist  State  Convention  and  the  South- 
ern Baptist  Convention  in  all  their  missionary,  educational  and  benevolent 
work. 

It  shall  be  the  purpose  of  the  Association  (1)  to  provide  the  mutual  encour- 
agement and  fellowship  of  member  churches  through  the  definition  and  prac- 
tice of  Baptist  distinctives;  (2)  to  consistently  seek  to  confront  everyone  in  our 
area  with  the  claims  of  Christ  on  his/her  life;  (3)  to  encourage  and  facilitate 
church  growth  and  development;  (4)  to  promote  participation  in  missions  and 
ministries  on  the  foreign  field,  in  the  homeland,  in  the  state,  and  in  the  area  of 
the  Association;  (5)  to  provide  services  to  the  churches  as  needed  and  desired; 
(6)  to  provide  an  additional  channel  by  which  member  churches  may  par- 
ticipate in  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention. 

ARTICLE  III  —  MEMBERSHIP 

SECTION  1.  The  Association  shall  be  composed  of  cooperating  Baptist 
churches  desiring  to  affiliate  with  it.  Any  church  desiring  to  become  a  member 
of  the  Association  shall  present,  through  messengers  chosen  for  that  pur- 
pose, its  request  for  membership  on  APPLICATION  FOR  MEMBERSHIP  pro- 
vided in  the  minutes  along  with  a  UNIFORM  ASSOCIATIONAL  LETTER  pro- 
vided by  the  clerk  at  any  annual  session  of  the  body.  The  Moderator  shall  refer 
the  church  to  the  Committee  on  Membership  for  study  and  investigation.  The 
church  maintains  for  the  year  the  status  of  associate  membership  until  the 
committee  makes  its  recommendation.  If  favorable,  it  will  be  received  into  full 
membership  with  all  the  rights  and  privileges  at  the  next  annual  session.  If  the 
Association  then  votes  to  receive  the  church,  the  moderator  shall  extend  the 
hand  of  fellowship  to  the  messengers. 


-19- 


SECTION  2.  The  Association  shall  be  sole  judge  of  its  membership  and 
may  receive  churches,  or  reject  churches,  according  to  its  Constitution  and 
Bylaws.  Member  churches  may  withdraw  from  the  Association  as  they  desire. 
Any  church  in  the  Association  which  fails  to  cooperate  with  the  Association 
shall,  upon  the  recommendation  of  the  Coordinating  Council  of  the  Associa- 
tion, be  contacted  by  the  Membership  Committee  to  determine  the  intentions 
of  the  church  regarding  its  remaining  in  the  Association. 

A  cooperating  church  shall  be  defined  as  one  which  sends  an  annual  report 
to  the  Association  and  messengers  to  Associational  meetings,  and  con- 
tributes to  the  financial  program  of  the  Association. 

SECTION  3.  The  Association  shall  withdraw  fellowship  from  any  church  in 
its  membership  which  shall  be  found  to  be  disorderly  in  faith  and  practice,  but 
not  until  written  charges  are  brought  against  it,  which  charges  shall  have  been

leading  in  church.  Voting  on  an  "intent  to  proceed  and  investigate"  -

Annuity  Board  was  founded  in  1917.  Only  58  percent  of  our  churches  are  par- 
ticipants in  the  Annuity  Plan.  The  Bible  talks  about  the  minister  being  worthy  of 
his  hire.  Seventy-five  percent  of  pastors  retire  without  a  home.  439  churches  in

He  works  at  Wingate  College.  Wingate  has  the  Directors  of  Missions  for  a  week 
every  summer.  He  referred  to  the  printed  report  in  the  Book  of  Reports.  The 
only  negative  thing  in  the  report  is  the  cost  of  going  to  a  Baptist  college.  Mr. 
Sherwood  doesn't  want  anyone  to  decide  against  Baptist  college  until  they 
talk  to  someone  about  help.  There  are  ten  scholarships;  partners  in  education 
program;  church  and  college  work  together  to  help  financially;  financial  depar- 
ment  will  work  out  a  plan  for  anyone.  There  are  two  new  programs  -  (1)  Mission- 
ary in  residence,  and  (2)  The  Great  American  Heritage  Trip  -  the  whole  sopho- 
more class  goes  to  five  different  cities.  Report  adopted.

26.  Rev  Mark  Partin,  pastor  of  the  First  Southern  Baptist  Chapel  in  West 
Virginia,  was  introduced  to  give  the  report  on  the  West  Union  Mission.  He  used 
some  pictures  to  show  the  progress  of  the  building.  The  last  year  has  been  the 
best  but  the  toughest.  People  in  West  Virginia  had  no  idea  what  Southern  Bap- 
tists were.  The  people  of  the  First  Southern  Baptist  Chapel  are  keeping  their 
eyes  on  the  Lord  to  provide  and  God  has  provided.  The  first  work  crew  came 
from  South  Carolina  and  was  very  inexperienced  in  carpentry,  but  they  got  the 
job  done.  More  teams  came  -  this  was  the  best  witness  that  Southern  Baptists 
could  have  given  the  people  of  West  Virginia.  Rev.  Partin  thanked  the 
association  for  their  support. 

27.  Rev.  Paul  Hugger  came  to  give  the  Evangelism  Report  -  he  referred  to  the 
report  in  the  Book  of  Reports.  We  have  fewer  children  in  our  churches  now  then 
in  the  past  -  the  lost  adult  population  is  getting  larger.  The  Year  of  the  Laity  is  a 
way  of  reaching  people.  The  Evangelism  Committee  recommended  amending 
the  report  as  follows:  That  the  association  take  the  initiative  in  holding  a  "Bailey 
Smith  Evangelism  Crusade"  July  10-14, 1988.  Rev.  Paul  Shoupe  moved  that  the 

-32- 


amendment  be  put  on  the  agenda  for  Tuesday  night  at  8:15  p.m.  to  discuss  it 
because  of  it  being  so  late  -9:10  p.m.  Rev.  Horace  Moree  and  several  others 
wanted  it  voted  on  right  away.  Rev.  Hugger  seconded  the  amendment  that  it  be 
voted  on  tomorrow  night  at  8:15  p.m.  Rev.  Jimmy  Hubbard  spoke  against  the 
amendment  to  wait  to  vote.  Bill  McKinney  spoke  of  the  nine  months  of 
Associational  Strategy  Planning  that  had  already  taken  place  and  the  five  year 
plan  involving  evangelism.  Everyone  at  the  meeting  received  a  copy  of  the 
A.S.P.  summary.  Mr.  McKinney  is  not  saying  that  we  can  not  do  both  but  if  we 
are  talking  about  a  five  year  plan  are  we  going  to  jump  to  a  decision  in  15 
minutes  about  a  crusade.  Rev.  Sherrill  Wellborn  and  several  others  said  they 
thought  it  should  be  voted  on  tonight.  Rev.  Horace  Moree  spoke  a  second  time 
that  we  vote  on  the  crusade  tonight.  Rev.  Jim  Rhoades  suggested  that  we  have 
prayer  right  now  -  Brother  Rhoades  came  and  had  prayer  for  and  with  everyone. 
Rev.  L.J.  Culler  suggested  that  Moderator  Huffman  state  the  amendment  for 
everyone's  understanding.  The  amendment  was  stated  as  follows:  Since  no 
time  has  been  allotted  to  deal  adequately  with  a  recommendation  of  this 
magnitude  involving  Massive  preparation,  Commitment  of  personnel  and 
resources,  that  the  recommendation  of  an  evangelistic  crusade  be  fully 
discussed  on  Tuesday  night  at  8:15  p.m.  The  amendment  passed  with  a 
majority  vote  of  the  association.  The  Evangelism  Report  was  adopted  as  written 
in  the  Book  of  Reports. 

SECOND  DAY 

28.  The  second  day  of  the  116th  annual  meeting  was  called  to  order  by

32.  Rev.  Paul  Shoupe  of  Liberty  Grove  Baptist  Church  brought  the  message  of 
the  evening,  "One  Nation  Under  God?".  Rev.  Shoupe  read  scripture  from  Psalm 
33  and  the  Revelation.  God  is  Sovereign  -  all  nations  are  in  the  hand  of  God. 
Prosperity  lies  in  the  morals  and  ethics  of  our  people.  Some  say  our  nation  is 
dying.  How  do  nations  die?  Nations  die  the  same  way  people  do  -  of  disease. 
Symptoms  of  the  cancerous  sore  are  (1)  our  nation  is  dying  of  sex  obsession, 
(2)  die  as  a  result  of  spiritual  starvation  -  we  must  feed  our  souls  everyday  from 
the  word  of  God,  and  (3)  the  elevating  crime  rate  in  our  nation.  Suggestions:  (1)  a 
change  of  doctors  -  return  to  the  great  physician,  Jesus  Christ,  (2)  we  can  pray, 
believing  and  pray  in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  (3)  need  to  have  a  blood 
transfusion  -  life  that  was  in  Jesus  Christ.  May  God  help  us. 

33.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "Nothing  But  the  Blood  of  Jesus"  led 
by  Greg  Wright  of  First  Baptist  Church  accompanied  by  Mrs.  Ramona  Curtis  of 
First  Baptist  at  the  piano.

in  March  for  the  first  time.  Dr.  Seal  called  the  name  of  each  chairperson. 
A  total  of  forty-five  people  worked  very  hard  for  nine  months.  He  asked 
each  chairperson  and  any  person  that  worked  on  a  task  group  to  stand 
and  be  recognized.  They  first  studied  the  Statement  of  Purpose  and 
formulated  a  revised  statement  of  purpose  -  Dr.  Seal  detailed  the  State- 
ment of  Purpose  for  everyone.  Dr.  Seal  highlighted  the  report  and  sum- 
marized each  objective.  He  emphasized  evangelism.  Three  things  about 
Long  Range  Planning  are,  (1)  it  is  a  three  to  five  year  plan,  each  year  we 
will  review  the  program  and  make  needed  changes,  (2)  no  one  gave  us 
this  plan  -  it  was  hammered  out  by  people  in  our  association,  and  (3)  it  is 
a  plan  that  should  be  owned  by  all  of  us.  This  is  an  open-ended  plan.  We 
will  not  vote  on  the  report  tonight  because  we  want  to  give  everyone 
ample  time  to  study  it.  We  will  vote  on  it  in  the  January  quarterly 
meeting. 

C.  The  Director  of  Missions  requested  that  he  be  able  to  wait  to  give  his 
report  until  after  the  amendment  for  the  Evangelistic  Crusade  was  voted 
on. 

D.  The  secretary  read  the  amendment  that  was  voted  on  in  Monday  night's 
meeting. 

E.  Rev.  Paul  Hugger,  Evangelism  Director,  gave  the  recommendation 
again  and  it  was  seconded:  That  there  be  a  Bailey  Smith  Crusade  in 
July,  1988.  Rev.  Al  Andrews  and  Rev.  Bob  Seatz  counted  behind  the 
Moderator  using  a  standing  vote.  The  motion  to  have  a  crusade  car- 
ried - 1 17  for  and  46  against. 

F.  The  Director  of  Missions,  Bill  McKinney,  came  to  give  his  report  and 
urged  everyone  to  read  the  written  report  and  the  Digest  of  Church  Let- 
ters in  the  Book  of  Reports.  Both  reports  were  adopted.  Rev.  McKin- 
ney pointed  out  from  the  Digest  of  Church  Letters  that  the  statistics 
for  this  year  are  and  are  not  encouraging.  We  had  a  gain  in  member- 
ship and  Sunday  School  enrollment,  however,  Sunday  School  enroll- 
ment is  only  56  percent  of  church  membership.  Out  of  56  percent  en- 
rollment only  33  percent  attend  Sunday  School.  The  Church  Training 
enrollment  is  only  8  percent  -  one  out  of  twelve  church  members.  Our 
lack  of  commitment  to  Bible  study  lies  at  the  heart  of  our  flat  statistics. 
The  lack  is  not  in  quality  of  preaching  but  in  our  commitment  to  Bible 
study  and  Discipleship  Training.  Rev.  McKinney  stated  we  can  preach 
until  we  are  blue  in  the  face,  but  until  we  make  a  commitment  to  Bible 
study  and  Discipleship  Training,  there  will  not  be  an  evangelistic

movement.  Thirteen  percent  are  enrolled  in  missions  organizations  - 
mission  giving  was  down  from  16  percent  to  13  percent  -  LACK  OF 
MISSION  EDUCATION. 

For  eleven  years  in  August,  Rev.  McKinney  has  sought  to  be  your 
servant  leader  in  the  association.  He  stated  that  he  has  tried  never  to 
be  anything  but  a  Christian  gentleman,  he  can  say  out  of  a  heart  of 
love  that  he  has  seen  here  in  this  meeting  the  manifestation  of  some- 
thing that  strikes  at  the  heart  of  our  life.  Cooperation  lies  at  the  heart 
of  everything  we  try  to  do.  Without  cooperation  we  are  not  an  associ- 
ation -  we  are  a  "Do  your  own  thing"  group.  Everything  on  the  agenda 
except  the  crusade  proposal  was  available  a  month  before  the  meeting 
in  accordance  with  the  constitution.  Winning  people  to  the  Lord  is  the 
highest  priority.  Forty-five  persons  tried  to  help  the  preachers  evan- 
gelize by  Associational  Strategy  Planning.  Rev.  McKinney  stated  that 
he  had  no  quarrel  with  any  evangelistic  effort  or  with  anyone  in  the 
room,  but  that  we  have  set  aside  the  cooperation  of  the  association. 
The  action  that  was  taken  here  was  not  one  of  cooperation.  Rev. 
McKinney  will  do  his  best  with  this  situation.  He  read  scripture  from 
James  3:17-18  and  Galations  5:22-26. 

G.  Rev.  Horace  Moree  of  Walnut  Grove  Baptist  Church  came  to  give  the 
Resolutions  Committee  Report.  Report  was  adopted.  (Report  is  printed 
elsewhere  in  this  book.) 

H.  Mr.  Jim  Triplett,  Chairman  of  the  Memorials  Committee,  was  introduced 
to  give  the  Memorials  Committee  Report.  (Printed  elsewhere  in  this 
book.)  There  was  a  total  of  100  deaths.  Report  adopted. 

END  OF  BUSINESS  SESSION 

34.  Moderator  Huffman  asked  Rev.  L.J.  Culler  of  Zion  Hill  Baptist  Church  to 
come  forward  and  thanked  the  association  for  all  the  support  given  him  and 
then  he  handed  the  gavel  to  Rev.  Culler  as  the  new  moderator.  Rev.  Culler 
thanked  the  association  for  their  confidence  in  him. 

35.  Rev.  Hunter  Church  of  New  Hope  Baptist  Church  spoke  that  he  failed  to 
see  a  lack  of  cooperation  in  the  association  about  the  evangelistic  crusade. 
He  stated  that  we  could  do  both  the  crusade  and  Associational  Strategy  Plan- 
ning. 

36.  Mr.  Curtis  Foster  of  Lewis  Fork  Baptist  Church  spoke  about  the  crusade 
and  talked  of  the  number  of  people  that  were  saved  from  Lewis  Fork  -  as  a 
result  of  the  Bailey  Smith  Crusade,  30  persons  were  saved.  This  was  what 
brought  about  the  proposal  of  a  Bailey  Smith  Crusade  in  Wilkes  County. 

37.  Rev.  Pat  Fortner  of  Goshen  Baptist  Church  thanked  the  association  for 
all  the  prayers  and  support  in  the  death  of  one  brother  and  critical  condition  of 
another  brother. 

38.  Rev.  Frank  Cooper  of  Poplar  Grove  Baptist  Church  gave  the  benediction 
and  the  meeting  was  adjourned.

We  had  a  total  of  26  honor  clerks  out  of  40  church  clerks.  These  clerks  had 
their  church  letter  in  to  the  associational  office  by  the  deadline  date  with  every 
blank  filled,  all  totals  correct,  and  all  dollar  figures  rounded  to  the  nearest 
dollar.  Each  of  these  clerks  will  be  receiving  a  Certificate  of  Recognition  and 
have  their  name  printed  in  the  associational  minutes.  Their  accurateness  and 
promptness  makes  my  job  go  so  much  smoother.  I  want  to  say  to  each  honor 
clerk  how  much  I  appreciate  the  great  job  they  did.  I  hope  that  this  list  will  grow 
longer  each  year  until  we  have  40  honor  clerks. 

Respectfully  submitted,

Ordination  Committee  Report 

In  September  1986,  Lewis  Fork  Baptist  Church  requested  that  the 
Associational  Ordination  Committee  examine  Jerry  Smith  whom  they  had 
called  to  become  pastor  of  Lewis  Fork  Mission.  The  Committee  met  with 
Brother  Jerry  Smith  and  his  wife,  Rita,  and  he  was  examined  in  accordance 
with  all  provisions  of  BYLAW  IV,  Section  5.  The  finding  of  the  Committee  was 
that  Brother  Smith  met  all  requirements  as  outlined  and  was  a  worthy  can- 
didate. The  committee's  recommendation  was  communicated  to  Lewis  Fork 
Baptist  Church  on  September  29,  1987  and  they  proceeded  to  ordain  Brother 
Smith  on  Sunday  night  October  5,  1987.  The  Committee  on  Ordinations  was 
invited  to  participate  in  the  service  of  ordination  and  assisted  in  the  service.

Director  of  Missions  Report 

The  year  just  past  has  been  an  active  and  exciting  time  in  the  life  of  Brushy 
Mountain  Baptist  Association.  It  has  been  a  busy  and  rewarding  time  for  your 
Director  of  Missions.  As  an  association  we  have  continued  our  established 
ministries.  Associational  leadership  training  activities  have  been  planned  and 
carried  out  in  each  of  our  program  areas  -  Sunday  School,  Church  Training, 
WMU,  Brotherhood,  Music  and  VBS.  We  have  continued  to  minister  to 
residents  of  Wilkes  Towers  and  Foster-Richardson  Rest  Home.  Member  chur- 
ches have  conducted  ministries  at  Carolina  Rest  Home  and  Mount  Pleasant 
Rest  Home  and  at  the  North  Wilkesboro  prison  unit.  We  have  continued  our 
ministry  to  racing  fans  at  the  NASCAR  races  here  and  preparations  have  been 
made  to  have  a  Spanish  language  ministry  for  migrant  fruit  harvesters  this  fall. 

In  addition  to  our  local  activities  we  have  continued  to  support  West  Union 
Southern  Baptist  Chapel  in  West  Virginia.  The  story  there  is  an  exciting  one.  A 
new  church  building  has  been  erected  and  the  mission  congregation  plans  to 
meet  in  their  new  facilities  on  October  4.  We  have  also  rejoiced  as  our 
Associational  WMU  Director,  Betty  Pardue,  and  her  husband,  Carlos,  have 
departed  for  one  year  of  volunteer  service  replacing  an  agricultural  missionary 
in  Tanzania.  Miss  Martha  Colwell  is  now  awaiting  appointment  as  a  career 
missionary  whenever  tensions  in  the  Middle  East  will  permit. 

One  of  the  most  exciting  events  of  the  past  year  has  been  the  Long  Range 
Strategy  Planning  activity.  About  50  leaders  have  been  involved  in  an 
examination  of  our  association's  resources  and  our  opportunities.    As  this 

-47- 


report  is  written  that  work  is  nearing  completion.  We  believe  that  you  will  be 
excited  about  the  challenges  discovered  and  the  proposals  that  will  be  made 
for  response  to  these  opportunities. 

Thank  you  for  allowing  me  to  visit  among  you  and  to  speak  to  you  from  time 
to  time.  As  I  enter  upon  my  12th  year  of  working  among  you,  I  stand  ready  to 
serve  our  Lord  among  you  in  any  way  He  may  leacKand  to  respond  to  your 
needs  in  whatever  ways  I  am  able.  May  our  gracious  Father  lead  us  in  paths  of 
service  during  this  present  year,  and  may  we  be  willing  to  respond  to  his  direc- 
tion with  firm  commitment  of  time,  talent,  and  resources. 

Yours  in  His  vineyard, 
Bill  McKinney 

Missions  Committee  Report 

This  year  has  seen  the  association  continuing  its  support  of  the  West  Union 
Baptist  Mission  in  West  Virginia  as  part  of  our  five  year  commitment  to  the 
Lord's  work  in  that  area  of  the  country.  Furthermore,  the  association  voted  in 
the  July  quarterly  meeting  to  loan  the  West  Union  Mission  $17,500.00,  interest 
free,  so  that  they  could  continue  the  building  of  their  structure. 

The  association  engaged  in  a  five  week  ministry  to  the  migrant  orchard 
workers  in  the  Wilkes/Alexander  area.  It  involved  weekly  services  with  a  meal 
afterward  at  Walnut  Grove  Baptist  Church.  We  would  like  to  thank  Walnut 
Grove  for  graciously  permitting  the  use  of  their  church  for  this  worthy  ministry. 

The  association  and/or  its  member  churches  are  involved  on  an  ongoing 
basis  in  many  ministries.  Each  rest  home  and  nursing  home,  along  with 
Wilkes  Towers,  within  the  county  has  at  least  one  service  per  week, 
sometimes  two.  The  racetrack  ministry  is  ably  handled  and  executed  by  the 
Baptist  Men  within  our  association.  We  have  an  ongoing  prison  ministry  han- 
dled by  Welcome  Home  Baptist  Church  and  Prison  Chaplain  Ken  Byrd. 

We  are  a  mission-minded  people  and  a  mission-minded  association. 

SAO  PAULO  RECOMMENDATION 

The  Missions  Committee  recommends  the  adoption  of  a  motion  of  intent  to 
participate  in  this  partnership  and  its  inherent  needs.  We  further  recommend 
that  Dale  Ellenburg  serve  as  project  co-ordinator  and  accompany  our  Director 
of  Missions  to  the  March  1988  planning  session  in  Brazil  at  associational  ex- 
pense, said  expense  to  come  out  of  the  reserve  ministry  fund.

John  T.  Vannoy,  III 

Church  Training  Report 

The  Church  Training  year  began  on  an  optimistic  note.  In  November  our 
"M"  Night  service  was  reasonably  well  attended.  We  were  blessed  to  have  our 
keynote  speaker,  Rev.  William  T.  Mills  from  Hickory,  North  Carolina.  He  cap- 
tivated and  challenged  our  hearts  to  become  more  committed  to  the  role  of 
Church  Training  in  our  churches  and  in  the  association. 

-48- 


Numerical  growth  has  not  been  very  evident.  I  feel,  though,  that  as  the 
clerks  become  more  aware  of  properly  reporting  Church  Training  activities, 
that  we  will  see  some  growth  in  the  area  of  Church  Training  within  the 
association. 

I  do  notice  subtle  signs  of  encouragement  and  interest  as  far  as  Church 
Training  is  concerned.  Please  make  Church  Training  in  your  church  and  within 
the  association  a  matter  of  prayer  in  the  coming  year. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
JohnT.  Vannoy,  III

Evangelism  Report 

Concern  for  souls  is  perhaps  the  most  basic  duty  of  Christ's  church.  To  be 
sure,  the  love  of  God  within  us  compels  us  to  consider  ALL  of  our  neighbor's 
needs  and  then  ACT  to  meet  those  needs  with  the  resources  at  our  disposal. 

Statistics  are  a  tool  to  help  us  measure  ourselves  and  the  progress  we  have 
made.  This  past  year  40  churches  in  our  association  reported  217  baptisms  - 
a  good  indication  of  how  many  were  saved  and  sincere  in  following  our  Savior 
and  Lord.  We  praise  God  for  these  217  converts  and  those  who  led  them  to  the 
Lord. 

But  how  about  the  big  picture?    How  are  we  doing  in  reaching  our  com- 
munity for  Christ?  On  the  average,  this  past  year  it  took  56  church  members  to 
lead  one  person  to  faith  in  Christ.  Two  years  ago  (1985)  we  could  say  it  took  38 
to  lead  one  to  Christ;  seven  years  ago  (1980)  it  took  30  to  lead  one  to  Christ. 
You  decide.  Are  we  making  progress? 

Our  county  continues  to  grow.  Projected  figures  indicate  a  population  of 
64,000  plus  by  the  year  1990.  It  is  estimated  that  as  many  as  51  percent  or 
32,000  of  these  are  lost  in  their  sin!  The  largest  growing  segment  is  middle 
aged  and  senior  adults.  Figures  indicate  many  families  are  moving  into  our 
suburban  communities  from  other  areas. 

What  are  we  going  to  do  to  reach  the  growing  number  of  persons  who  are 
spiritually  lost? 

Personal,  one-on-one  concern  -  consistent,  compassionate,  concern  is  the 
model  the  New  Testament  provides.  Brushy  Mountain  churches  need  a 
renewal  of  compassionate  concern  for  the  lost. 

One  good  way  to  rekindle  concern  in  your  church  is  through  Lay  Renewal. 
The  first  phase,  "The  Journey  Inward"  will  enhance  the  life  within  your  church. 
The  second  phase,  "The  Journey  Outward"  will  direct  the  renewed  concern 
your  church  has  for  people  through  the  exercise  of  spiritual  gifts  in  ministry  - 
including  the  ministry  of  reaching  the  lost.  Lay  Evangelism  School,  Con- 
tinuing Witness  Training,  and  discipleship  training  are  all  part  of  the  process.

The  current  interest  our  Home  Mission  Board  has  in  "The  Year  of  the  Laity" 
will  encourage  you  to  do  what  is  necessary  to  reach  the  lost. 
Have  you  got  a  better  idea?  If  so,  I  would  like  to  hear  it.

Sunday  School  Report 

"Touch  Lives.. ..Change  People"  is  the  theme  for  1987-88.  It  is  not  only  a  part 
of  the  Challenge  10/90  emphasis,  but  more  importantly  it  is  the  intent  and  pur- 
pose of  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.  Hear  Jesus'  words  as  He  spoke  with  a  deep 
love  and  concern  for  people:  "They  that  are  whole  need  not  a  physician;  but 
they  that  are  sick."  (Luke  5:31) 

We  are  in  the  people  business.  We  have  no  other  business.  It  is  what  we 
are  about.  We  want  to  tell  the  gospel  to  the  people,  and  we  want  to  teach  the 
gospel  to  the  people.  That  is  why  we  have  Bold  Mission  Thrust.  That  is  why 
we  have  Challenge  10/90.  We  are  approaching  the  third  year  of  the  Challenge 
10/90  emphasis  to  enroll  ten  million  people  in  Sunday  School  by  1990. 

As  your  Sunday  School  accepts  its  own  challenge  for  the  next  several 
years,  and  joins  with  other  churches  in  similar  challenges,  Southern  Baptists 
will  move  ahead.  Let's  get  at  this  tremendous  task  of  touching  lives  and 
changing  people. 

This  past  year  was  a  very  productive  year  for  our  churches.  We  continue  to 
offer  such  training  opportunities  as  Vacation  Bible  School  Clinics  in  April,  Out- 
reach and  Evangelism  Workshops,  Age-Group  Projects,  Teaching  Improve- 
ment through  the  Associational  Training  School.  This  year's  study  is  the 
"Bible  Teaching  Series"  and  will  strengthen  and  help  in  developing  good 
teaching  skills,  methods,  etc;  Outreach  Bible  Study,  Pastor/Director/Sunday 
School  Council  Planning  Workshops,  etc. 

We  are  excited  about  what  the  Lord  has  done  in  our  association  to  en- 
courage growth  through  our  Sunday  Schools.  As  we  look  into  1988  we  would 
ask  Pastors,  Sunday  School  Directors  and  workers  to  begin  praying  now  about 
a  possible  Challenge10/90  Growth  Effort  in  our  association  next  year  by  in- 
creasing Sunday  School  Enrollment. 


-51- 


Reaching,  teaching,  winning,  and  developing  people  has  been  committed  to 
us.  The  coming  Growth  Campaign  in  1988  can  help  us  do  a  more  effective  job 
in  reaching  out  through  our  Sunday  School.  We  would  appreciate  your 
prayers  and  organizational  support  in  this  special  project.  We  hope  that  many 
of  our  churches  will  involve  themselves  in  this  cooperative  effort  to  reach  our 
county  for  Jesus  Christ.

Properties  Committee  Report 

Due  to  limited  funds  the  Properties  Committee  has  not  been  very  active  this 
year.  The  Committee  received  an  offer  to  buy  an  old  amplifier  which  the 
Association  no  longer  used.  The  amplifier  was  sold  to  a  church  for  $125.00  - 
the  appraised  value.  Floor  coverings  were  replaced  in  the  kitchen,  dinette, 
hall,  and  den  of  the  parsonage  by  the  Director  of  Missions  at  a  cost  of  $795.00. 
In  view  of  the  fact  that  this  item  has  been  budgeted  for  in  1984-85, 1985-86  and 
had  not  been  done,  the  Finance  Committee  authorized  reimbursement  of  this 
cost.  Next  year's  budget  includes  funds  for  re-roofing  the  office  building. 

The  custodian  position  has  not  yet  been  filled.  We  hope  that  it  will  be 
possible  to  do  so  next  year.  The  properties  of  the  Association  are  in 
reasonably  good  order.  Some  preventative  maintenance  needs  to  be  done  as 
funds  become  available.  Much  of  the  office  equipment  is  getting  old.  Con- 
sideration needs  to  be  given  to  moderizing  office  equipment  and  adding  new 
audio  visual  equipment.

School  of  Christian  Studies  Report 

Please  consult  the  Associational  Annuals  for  1981  and  1982  concerning  in- 
formation of  introduction  pertaining  to  Seminary  Extension  Programs  through- 
out the  United  States  and  North  Carolina.  North  Carolina  continues  to  lead  all 
our  states  in  Seminary  Extension  Programs. 

Last  fall  we  offered  two  courses  of  study:  (1)  AC  76  -  "Family  Life  Today," 
but  we  did  not  have  enough  participants  to  proceed  with  the  study  (see 
description  page  50  of  1986  annual).  It  is  possible  that  we  will  offer  this  same 
course  this  coming  spring,  depending  upon  response.  IT  IS  NEEDED 
DESPERATELY!  (2)  NT  0176  -  "First  Corinthians"  was  our  second  course  of 
study,  a  study  of  Paul's  letter  to  the  church  at  Corinth.  We  had  ten  persons 
enrolled  and  seven  persons  completing  the  study.  This  study  was  taught  by 
W.  Paul  Shoupe. 

This  fall  we  are  offering  one  course  of  study  -  OT  0141  -  "The  Post-Exilic 
Prophets"  -  a  study  of  the  prophets  after  the  period  of  Judah's  exile,  with 
major  attention  given  to  the  message  of  Malachi.  This  course  has  just  become 


-52- 


available.  The  text  is  the  Broadman  Bible  Commentary,  Volume  7  (test  also 
includes  the  other  minor  prophets).  The  cost  of  this  course  is  $33.95.  The 
place  will  be  the  Associational  Office.  The  course  will  begin  October  13  and 
continue  on  Tuesday  nights  at  7:00  p.m.  through  December  9  (two  hours  each 
night).  This  is  a  college-level  course  and  exams  will  be  required  for  college 
credit.  However,  you  do  not  have  to  take  the  exams  if  you  wish  not  to  do  so. 
A  SPECIAL  NOTE!  Malachi  is  our  January  Bible  Study  Book  and  this  course 
will  help  you  prepare  for  this  study!  It  is  the  hope  of  our  committee  that  each 
pastor  will  consider  participating  in  this  course,  and  that  persistent  announce- 
ments will  be  given  to  the  congregations  encouraging  participation.  The 
teacher  will  be  W.  Paul  Shoupe.

The  Church  Annuity  Board  Report 

Now  is  the  time  for  your  church  to  begin  providing  a  retirement  plan  or  to 
consider  upgrading  your  participation  in  retirement  planning  for  your  minister, 
staff  and  employees. 

The  less  time  you  have  before  retirement,  the  more  money  you  must  save  in 
order  to  have  adequate  retirement  income. 

Financial  planners  judge  retirement  income  as  "adequate"  if  it  allows  the 
retiree  to  maintain  pre-retirement  lifestyle.  Because  some  expenses  related  to 
working  are  eliminated  in  retirement,  a  retiree  generally  needs  income  equal 
to  70  percent  of  the  salary  he  earned  in  his  last  year  of  full-time  employment. 
However,  some  retirees  may  require  100  percent  of  their  last  working  year's 
income. 

Are  you  sure  that  contributions  to  your  minister's  retirement  fund  are 
adequate? 

Southern  Baptist  churches  don't  have  to  take  full  responsibility  for  their 
ministers'  retirement  preparation.  On  January  1,  1988,  an  innovative  approach 
to  retirement  planning  for  Southern  Baptist  ministers  and  church  staff 
becomes  effective. 

The  expanded  Church  Annuity  Plan,  when  implemented,  creates  a 
cooperative  effort  between  the  minister,  the  church  and  the  state  convention. 
The  plan  must  first  be  adopted  by  a  vote  of  the  church.  After  the  church  adopts 
the  expanded  Church  Annuity  Plan  as  retirement  policy,  a  Cooperative  Agree- 
ment must  be  signed  by  a  church  officer  and  sent  to  the  state  convention  office. 
Upon  approval,  your  church  will  receive  a  monthly  statement  reflecting  the 
amount  you  and  your  minister  have  agreed  to  contribute. 

Contributions  begin  with  the  employee  (minister  or  staff).  The  Annuity 
Board  encourages  a  monthly  contribution  of  at  least  5  percent  of  salary  (cash 
plus  housing).  Churches  are  then  encouraged  to  match  the  employee's  contri- 
bution two-for-one,  up  to  an  amount  equal  to  10  percent  of  salary. 

For  eligible  Plan  members,  state  conventions  will  contribute  one-third  of  the 
total  contributed  by  the  employee  and  church,  up  to  $35  a  month.  Each  state 


-53- 


convention  determines  eligibility  requirements.  The  first  $17.50  per  month  con- 
tributed by  the  state  convention  will  provide  a  supplemental  longterm  disability 
benefit  of  up  to  $200  per  month  and  a  survivor  benefit  of  up  to  $45,000.00. 

Any  amount  over  $17.50  will  be  credited  to  the  member's  retirement  account, 
up  to  an  additional  $17.50  per  month.  This  state  convention  contribution  alone 
could  mean  as  much  as  $5,000  in  additional  retirement  income  annually  for  a 
30-year-old  who  retires  at  age  65. 

Young  ministers,  whose  salaries  reflect  their  experience  and  whose  living 
expenses  will  most  likely  increase,  can  participate  at  a  level  in  line  with  their 
budgets  and  increase  participation  as  salary  increases.  A  five  percent  member 
contribution,  plus  the  10  percent  contribution  from  their  churches  and  maxi- 
mum state  convention  contributions  over  the  years,  should  be  adequate  to  meet 
these  young  ministers'  needs  in  retirement. 

However,  older  ministers  who  start  their  retirement  programs  at  later  ages,  or 
who  do  not  contribute  adequately  in  earlier  years,  need  some  way  to  catch  up. 
Churches  could  do  these  ministers  great  service  by  contributing  extra  money 
on  the  ministers'  behalf  to  the  expanded  Church  Annuity  Plan. 

Is  your  minister  making  adequate  preparation  for  retirement?  Why  not  ask; 
it's  not  being  nosey.  Your  church,  for  all  practical  purposes,  is  the  minister's 
employer.  There  could  be  a  need  in  the  minister's  life  that  you  and  other  church 
members  can  do  something  about.

Brotherhood  Report 

Baptist  Men  continue  to  be  deeply  involved  in  North  Carolina  and  Global 
ministries.  The  five  year  partnership  with  the  West  Virginia  Baptists  has  been 
completed,  however,  we  will  be  involved  by  request  only  through  homeland 
projects.  Baptist  Men  of  North  Carolina  are  assisting  in  erecting  a  building 
in  West  Virginia  to  hold  worship  services. 

Many  Baptist  Men  were  involved  in  20  Lay  Renewal  weekends.  Ministries 
were  continued  in  prison  units  and  in  combatting  pornography,  alcohol,  and 
drug  use.  The  disaster  unit  has  been  on  display  throughout  the  state  of  North 
Carolina  recruiting  and  training  volunteers  to  operate  the  unit.  Ten  men  and 
women  teams  are  needed  to  man  this  unit.  The  disaster  relief  van  with 
volunteers  cooked  and  served  475  meals  for  the  men  at  the  Baptist  Men's  Con- 
vention held  in  Raleigh  this  year. 

The  Togo,  West  Africa  project,  a  "Partnership  in  Wholesness"  that  North 
Carolina  and  the  Togo  mission  have  been  involved  in,  ended  June  1987.  A 
210  foot  bridge  that  spans  across  the  Mono  River  has  been  completed;  120 
good  wells  that  produce  water  and  160  supply  ponds  have  been  built.  There 
are  25  churches,  29  preaching  points,  over  1,000  baptisms  reported  to  date. 
There  are  18  two-room  huts  and  one  classroom  building  completed.  Over  300 
volunteers  to  date  have  gone  to  Togo,  West  Africa.

At  the  Associational  Level: 

Several  R.A.'s  participated  in  bike-a-thons  to  help  support  the  Leukemia 
Foundation.  There  are  20  Brotherhood  departments  at  the  associational  level, 
some  more  active  than  others.  The  racetrack  ministry  continued  and  held  at 
the  North  Wilkesboro  Speedway  for  both  the  First  Union  400  in  April  and  the 
Holly  Farms  400  in  the  fall. 

A  training  seminar  was  held  in  November  of  1986.  A  workshop  was  held  at 
the  Moravian  Falls  church  for  R.A.  and  Brotherhood  officers  and  leaders. 

Projects  for  1987-88: 

Continue  work  in  West  Virginia  at  request.  Continue  to  establish  prayer 
ministry  units  across  the  state.  Overseas  missions  teams  for  medical  min- 
istries, construction,  and  evangelism.  Continuing  activity  in  moral  issues, 
lay  Evangelism  and  Lay  Renewal  projects.  Strengthened  work  to  establish  new 
Brotherhood  and  R.A.  groups.  Continuing  mission  education  and  involvement. 
A  GOAL  to  register  at  least  5  R.A.  and  BROTHERHOOD  DEPARTMENTS  with 
THE  Baptist  State  Convention.  Evaluate  the  racetrack  ministry  for  possible 
continuation.  Have  missions  projects  coordinated  with  the  WMU.

Woman's  Missionary  Union  Report 

Our  theme  "Gifted  to  Serve,  Called  to  Act"  has  been  a  challenge  as  we  have 
strived  to  know  our  spiritual  gifts.  As  our  gifts  are  discovered,  we  need  to  re- 
member the  verse:  "Each  one  should  use  whatever  gift  he  has  received  to 
serve  others,  faithfully  administering  God's  grace  in  its  various  forms."  (Peter 
4:10  NIV) 

We  have  had  a  great  year  in  missions  in  our  churches.  Most  of  our  churches 
exceeded  their  goals  in  mission  giving.  We  are  still  without  a  Baptist  Women's 
Director  and  an  Acteen's  Director.  Please  pray  that  someone  will  feel  the  "call" 
and  "act"  by  filling  these  positions  using  their  gifts  to  serve. 

Stony  Hill  began  Baptist  Women  and  Wilkesboro  started  Young  Baptist 
Women.  We  now  have  24  churches  with  at  least  one  WMU  organization.  We  are 
thankful  but  pray  that  other  churches  will  see  the  need  for  these  mission  educa- 
tion organizations. 

We  held  a  very  successful  leaders  workshop  at  Moravian  Falls  Baptist 
Church.  Our  Foreign  Mission  Institute  was  at  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church. 
In  spite  of  being  "snowed  out"  once,  we  rejoiced  in  a  very  uplifting  Prayer  Re- 
treat led  by  Ruby  Reese  in  the  adult  group  and  Martha  Colwell  in  the  youth  at 
Wilkesboro  Baptist  Church.  The  Brotherhood  joined  us  at  this  retreat  which 
was  followed  by  a  fingerfood  lunch.  Our  Home  Mission  Study  was  at  New  Hope 
Baptist  Church  and  was  taught  by  Martha  Colwell.  Special  music  was  provided 
by  three  R.A.'s  of  New  Hope.  Several  of  our  members  attended  the  annual  state 
meeting  at  Ridgecrest.  The  BYW  held  a  Spring  Fling  at  Oakwoods  Baptist 
Church.  The  Acteens  held  a  Studiact  workshop  and  an  Acteens  Special. 
Margie  Laney,  Director  of  Missions  of  Stone  Mountain  Association,  delivered  a 
most  inspirational  message  at  our  annual  meeting  at  Lewis  Fork  Baptist

Church.  Our  mission  action  project  was  "Pennies  for  Postage."  We  collected 
stamps  for  the  Christmas  packages  for  the  North  Carolina  Correctional  Center 
for  Women.  Our  support  to  the  association  was  to  help  purchase  a  refrigerator 
for  the  office.  Our  local  churches  have  been  involved  in  many  mission  activities. 

Our  goal  is  to  work  in  our  local  churches  and  join  hands  and  hearts  in  our 
association  to  work  for  the  Lord  through  missions  wherever  He  leads.  Thank 
you,  WMU  Council  and  churches,  for  all  your  hard  work  and  support. 

There  is  something  to  be  captured  in  this  moment  that  we  can  never  give  nor 
receive  at  any  other  time  or  in  any  other  situation.  Let's  be  alive  to  what  Christ 
wants  us  to  do  here  and  now.

General  Board  Report 


The  General  Board  meets  three  times  a  year  between  our  State  Convention. 
The  first  meeting  is  in  January  at  CaRAway  Conference  Center,  the  second  is  at 
one  of  the  schools,  retirement  centers,  hospital,  orphanages,  or  other  State- 
owned  properties.  As  usual,  we  also  meet  in  September  and  May  as  well  as 
during  the  State  Convention  in  November.  The  new  Board  members  were  in- 
stalled at  our  January,  1987  meeting  at  CaRAway  Conference  Center  at  which 
time  we  welcomed  Mrs.  Nan  H.  McNeill  to  the  Board  and  to  serve  on  the  Coun- 
cil for  Higher  Education.  She  serves  on  this  prestigious  committee  along  with 
Max  Freeman  and  both  are  from  our  Brushy  Mountain  Association. 

Our  second  meeting  was  held  May  18-19  at  Gardner-Webb  College  in  Boiling 
Springs.  At  that  time  the  most  important  business  that  was  concerning  us  was 
the  distribution  of  Cooperative  Funds  to  our  five  colleges  and  one  university. 
After  considerable  debate  especially  from  the  Campbell  university  officials,  the 
plan  was  advanced  to  equally  distribute  these  funds  for  the  next  five  years  and 
that  this  procedure  be  brought  up  for  additional  study  at  that  time. 

President  Bill  Poe  gave  a  report  of  the  Peace  Committee  of  the  S.B.C.  and  an 
additional  report  will  be  given  to  the  General  Board  when  it  meets  again  on 
September  29, 1987  at  the  CaRAway  Conference  Center.

State  Missions  Report 

Our  theme  for  this  year  is  "CHANGING  LIVES  through  State  Missions."  We 
have  made  two  publications  to  publicize  this  offering  and  have  distributed  them 
to  the  various  churches  and  associations  for  their  use.  One  is  a  leaflet  and  very 
beautifully  done  in  four  colors.  It  is  an  eight-day  prayer  leaflet  with  emphasis  on 
each  day  for  a  very  particular  mission  effort  on  our  part.  The  second  is  a 
newspaper  type  layout  that  gives  much  factual  evidence  of  each  of  our  mission 
efforts  throughout  our  state.

I  have  found  that  our  North  Carolina  Missions  are  very  closely  related  to  both 
our  Foreign  and  Local  missions  in  that  it  calls  on  many  of  our  very  fine  people  to 
serve  as  missionaries  for  short  terms.  It  is  pleasing  to  note  that  a  large  number 
of  our  people  have  served  in  West  Virginia  and  other  states  since  our  last  an- 
nual meeting.  Some  have  taken  short  terms  in  Latin  America  and,  I  am  pleased 
to  report,  that  Carlos  and  Betty  Pardue  will  be  reporting  to  the  Mission  School  in 
Richmond,  Virginia  on  October  2.  By  the  time  we  are  meeting  they  will  have 
already  begun  to  be  trained  and  indoctrinated  for  duty  in  The  International  Bap- 
tist Seminary  of  East  Africa  and  then  Carlos  will  supervise  our  farming 
operations  and  Betty  will  act  as  secretary  in  the  Mission  Pilot's  Office  in  Tan- 
zania. We  are  sad  to  lose  them  for  a  year  but  realize  that  their  service  was  a 
result  of  their  direct  involvement  in  our  own  North  Carolina  State  Missions. 
Others  are  bound  to  follow.  God  will  surely  bless  us  all  for  this.

The  1988  Annual  of  the 

Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association 

Is  Dedicated  To 


W.C.  McKinney,  Jr. 

William  Charles  "Bill"  McKinney,  Jr.  was  born  September  6, 1926,  in  Spruce 
Pine,  North  Carolina.  The  product  of  a  Christian  home,  he  accepted  Jesus 
Christ  as  Lord  at  the  age  of  12  and  was  baptized  into  Grassy  Creek  Baptist 
Church.  Following  military  service  in  World  War  II,  he  married  Robbie  Shuford 
-a  schoolmate  from  childhood.  They  have  two  daughters  and  four  grand- 
children. 

Bill  received  his  education  at  Mars  Hill  College,  Wake  Forest  University 
(B.A.  in  Religion,  1963)  and  Southeastern  Baptist  Theological  Seminary  (B.D., 
1966,  D.  Min.,  1975).  He  served  English  Road  Baptist  Church  in  High  Point  as 
Associate  Pastor,  Gum  Springs  Baptist  Church  in  Pittsboro  as  pastor,  and 
New  Bethel  Baptist  Church  in  Cleveland  County  as  pastor.  When  he  became 
Director  of  Missions  for  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association  in  August  1976, 
Bill  brought  a  diverse  background  of  education  and  experience.  Having  served 
his  home  church  as  a  deacon  and  lay  leader  for  several  years,  he  brought  to 
the  ministry  a  keen  appreciation  for  the  role  of  laypersons  in  the  life  of  the 
church.  His  experience  as  a  staff  member  lent  insight  into  the  circumstances 
surrounding  work  as  a  minister  of  music,  minister  of  youth,  minister  of  educa- 
tion. His  years  as  a  churchman  and  pastor  enabled  him  to  identify  with 
pastors  of  churches  small  and  large.  His  years  in  the  business  world  gave  ex- 
perience in  administration  and  human  relations.  While  serving  among  Brushy 
Mountain  Baptist  people  he  has  been  deeply  committed  to  evangelization, 
missions,  church  development,  discipleship  training,  and  leadership  develop- 
ment. 

While  serving  among  us,  Bill  has  been  very  active  in  the  community.  He  has 
been  an  active  participant  and  leader  in  Wilkes  Ministerial  Association  where 
he  has  assisted  with  Wilkes  Cares,  nursing  home  ministries  at  Vespers  and 
Britthaven,  and  starting  the  prison  chaplaincy  program  at  the  North 
Wilkesboro  Prison  Unit.  He  has  worked  with  Wilkes  Day  Care  Center  -  a 

-iv- 


developmental  program  for  handicapped  children  -for  11  years,  serving  as  a 
director  and  as  chairman  of  the  board.  He  was  instrumental  in  starting 
Hospice  of  Wilkes,  Inc.,  and  continues  to  serve  as  a  Hospice  volunteer.  He 
was  instrumental  in  establishing  the  Catherine  H.  Barber  Homeless  Shelter, 
and  was  involved  in  founding  Wilkes  Teen  Pregnancy  Council  which  he 
continues  to  co-chair.  In  addition  to  these  activities  he  has  maintained  an  ac- 
tive counseling  ministry.  He  has  also  been  active  in  denominational  life; 
having  served  as  president  of  the  NC  Directors  of  Missions  Conference,  and 
now  serves  on  the  NC  Baptist  Convention  Long-Range  Strategy  Planning 
Committee.

History  of  Oak  Grove  Baptist  Church 

Oak  Grove  Missionary  Baptist  Church  was  organized  April  1,  1945.  Six 
charter  members  and  seven  members  in  regular  standing  joined  at  that 
meeting.  The  Reverend  Quincy  Yates  was  the  first  pastor. 

In  June  1956,  the  church  voted  to  start  a  building  fund,  and  in  1960  a  new 
church  building  was  constructed.  Until  this  time,  the  church  had  been  meeting 
in  the  old  Oak  Grove  Methodist  Church  Building. 

Over  the  years  the  church  has  bought,  traded,  and  been  given  property. 
Many  improvements  to  the  present  building  have  been  made.  In  1967  im- 
provements were  made  to  the  interior  of  the  sanctuary.  In  1971  the  church  pur- 
chased new  pews  and  pulpit  furniture.  In  1973  the  church  was  air-conditioned 
and  carpeted.  A  split  rail  fence  was  placed  around  the  cemetery  and  within  the 
next  few  years  the  pews  were  cushioned  and  a  new  piano  was  purchased.  In 
1977  two  Sunday  School  rooms,  a  choir  area,  a  vestibule  and  rest  rooms  were 
added.  New  carpet  was  put  in  the  sanctuary  and  the  parking  lots  were  paved. 
In  1983  the  basement  was  remodeled,  an  organ  purchased  and  a  new  steeple 
placed  on  the  church. 

Since  Oak  Grove  Baptist  Church  was  formed,  just  over  43  years  ago,  almost 
300  persons  have  been  baptized  into  the  fellowship  and  over  150  members 
have  joined  by  letter. 

Oak  Grove  has  had  fifteen  pastors.  The  present  pastor,  the  Reverend  Glenn 
Caudill,  has  served  for  18  years.  Three  ministers  nave  been  ordained  by  Oak 
Grove. 

From  its  beginning,  Oak  Grove  has  been  a  compassionate  church,  giving 
several  thousand  dollars  in  love  offerings  to  members  in  need,  as  well  as  to 
other  churches  and  other  people  who  needed  help. 

Oak  Grove  continues  to  grow  and  progress.  Construction  of  a  new  sanc- 
tuary is  planned.

History  of  Pleasant  Home  Baptist  Church  1973  -  1988 

Pleasant  Home  Baptist  Church  began  giving  10  percent  of  its  gross 
undesignated  receipts  to  the  Cooperative  Program  in  1975,  rather  than  taking 
special  offerings  for  the  program. 

A  new  educational  building  was  dedicated  in  1979  and  coincided  with  the 
celebration  of  the  100th  anniversary  of  the  church.  The  church  was  establish- 
ed in  1880. 

-19- 


A  modified  rotating  system  of  the  diaconate  was  adopted  in  1981. 

The  church  participated  in  the  Good  News  America  people  search  in  1985. 
1986  was  a  very  busy  year.  The  church  participated  in  the  Good  News  America 
Simultaneous  Revival.  An  irrevocable  trust  for  cemetery  maintenance  was 
established,  which  is  now  almost  self-sustaining.  A  Lay  Renewal  Weekend 
and  the  Journey  Inward  were  experienced.  The  sanctuary  and  older 
classrooms  were  renovated.  A  new  grand  piano  was  purchased.  The  land 
behind  the  church  was  cleared,  fenced,  and  equipped  for  a  playground.  At 
Christmas  1987,  members  took  gifts  to  the  residents  in  a  cottage  at  Children's 
Home,  Thomasville. 

Church  membership  and  Sunday  School  enrollment  have  grown  slowly  dur- 
ing these  past  15  years.  However,  the  church  has  Sunday  morning  and  Sunday 
night  worship  services,  a  fully  organized  Sunday  School,  mid-week  prayer 
service,  graded  choirs,  WMU  and  R.A.'s.

We,  the  Baptist  Churches  of  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association,

cooperate  to  the  fullest  extent  possible  with  the  State  and  Southern  Baptist 
Convention  and  subscribe  to  the  principles  of  the  1963  Baptist  Faith  and

measures  for  increasing  the  harmony,  the  knowledge  and  the  spiritual  life  of 
the  churches  and  for  developing  and  directing  their  energies  and  their  con- 
tributions in  the  advancement  of  Christ's  kingdom  throughout  the  earth, 
always  in  harmony  with  the  teachings  of  the  New  Testament.  This  Association 
shall  be  an  auxiliary  of  the  North  Carolina  Baptist  State  Convention  and  the 
Southern  Baptist  Convention  in  all  their  missionary,  educational  and  benevo- 
lent work. 

To  accomplish  this  purpose,  the  association  shall  seek  to:  (1)  enhance  the 
fellowship  among  member  churches;  (2)  present  the  Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  to 
everyone  in  our  area;  (3)  encourage  and  facilitate  church  growth  and  develop- 
ment and  provide  other  services  to  the  churches;  (4)  coordinate  mission 
ministries  in  our  area  and  promote  cooperation  in  state,  home  and  foreign

purpose,  its  request  for  membership  on  APPLICATION  FOR  MEMBERSHIP 
form  provided  in  the  minutes  along  with  a  UNIFORM  ASSOCIATIONAL  LET- 
TER provided  by  the  clerk,  at  any  annual  session  of  the  body.  The  moderator 
shall  refer  the  application  to  the  Committee  on  Membership  for  study  and  in- 
vestigation. The  church  shall  maintain  for  the  year  the  status  of  associate 
membership  until  the  committee  makes  its  recommendation.  If  favorable,  it 
will  be  received  into  full  membership  with  all  the  rights  and  privileges  at  the 
next  annual  session.  If  the  Association  then  votes  to  receive  the  church,  the 
moderator  shall  extend  the  hand  of  fellowship  to  the  messengers. 

SECTION  2.  The  Association  shall  be  sole  judge  of  its  membership  and 
may  receive  churches,  or  reject  churches,  according  to  its  Constitution  and 
Bylaws.  Member  churches  may  withdraw  from  the  Association  as  they  desire. 
Any  church  in  the  Association  which  fails  to  cooperate  with  the  Association 


-21- 


shall,  upon  the  recommendation  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Associa- 
tion, be  contacted  by  the  Membership  Committee  to  determine  the  intentions 
of  the  church  regarding  its  remaining  in  the  Association. 

A  cooperating  church  shall  be  defined  as  one  which  sends  an  annual  report 
to  the  Association  and  messengers  to  Associational  meetings,  and  con- 
tributes to  the  financial  program  of  the  Association. 

SECTION  3.  The  Association  shall  withdraw  fellowship  from  any  church  in 
its  membership  which  shall  be  found  to  be  disorderly  in  faith  and  practice,  but 
not  until  written  charges  are  brought  against  it,  which  charges  shall  have  been 
authorized  by  the  official  act  of  the  church  offering  the  same,  or  by  the 
Membership  Committee  of  the  Association.  Thereafter,  any  such  charges 
shall  be  carefully  considered  by  the  Association  at  its  next  annual  session.

more  than  the  initial  500.  Messengers  shall  be  elected  annually  for  all  Associa- 
tional meetings.  It  is  suggested  that  at  least  five  of  the  messengers  be  leaders

Cooperative  Missions  is  the  heartbeat  of  Southern  Baptist  Churches.  "A 
fellowship  of  a  New  Testament  church  that  doesn't  have  a  vision  for  global 
missions  is  not  a  church,  but  a  social  club".  Rev.  Gilbert  stated  that  there  are 
three  principles  important  for  Cooperative  Missions:  (1)  work  together  to  give, 
(2)  distribute  funds  more  effectively,  and  (3)  deepen  our  fellowship  with  one 
another.  Fulfill  God's  commission. 

1 1 .  Rev.  Tim  Jordan  gave  the  benediction  and  the  meeting  was  recessed  for

midst  of  the  first  year. 

23.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "I  Love  To  Tell  the  Story"  led  by 
Gregg  Wright  accompanied  by  Mary  Jane  Triplett  at  the  piano,  both  of  First 
Baptist  Church. 

24.  Mr.  Calvin  Knight  was  introduced  to  give  a  report  on  the  Baptist 
Hospital.  He  stated  that  there  were  some  new  ways  of  treating  heart  disease 
-there  is  a  new  drug  that  can  lessen  the  damage  done  by  a  heart  attack  or  stop 
the  attack  completely.  He  summarized  the  report  printed  in  the  Book  of 
Reports.  The  hospital  has  just  performed  their  first  artificial  heart  transplant. 
The  patient  didn't  survive,  but  it  was  a  step  forward.  Something  new  is  liga- 
ment transplants,  especially  for  severe  knee  injuries.  Air  Care  has  been  ex- 
panded, they  now  have  a  "fixed  wing"  aircraft  (airplane)  to  transfer  patients  a 
further  distance.  The  hospital  ministers  to  physical  needs  but  also  ministers 
to  the  spiritual  needs  of  the  patients,  families,  and  staff  members.  The 
benevolent  fund  helps  people  who  cannot  pay  their  bills. 

25.  Mr.  Ray  Jones  was  introduced  to  give  a  report  on  the  Baptist  Retirement 
Homes.  He  asked  "How  then  shall  we  care?"  -  by  caring  for  our  older  adults  by 
providing  a  Christian  Care  Home,  health  care  and  facilities.  There  is  a  need  for 
financial  support  -  our  older  adult  population  is  growing  rapidly. 

26.  Donna  Lail  was  introduced  to  give  a  report  on  the  Baptist  Children's 
Homes.  In  Caldwell  County  a  new  group  home  will  be  opened  on  November  1, 
1988  and  second  home  will  be  opened  in  March  1989.  She  summarized  the 
report  printed  in  the  Book  of  Reports.  The  Lenoir  area  covers  11  counties. 
There  are  3  needs:  (1)  emergency  care  facility,  (2)  group  home  for  teenage  girls 
(Noel  Group  Home),  and  (3)  second  home  for  teenage  mothers  who  are  keep- 
ing their  babies.  The  new  name  for  the  Hickory-Lenoir  Family  Services  Center

28.  Rev.  Mark  Partin,  pastor  of  the  First  Southern  Baptist  Chapel  in  West 
Virginia,  came  to  report  on  the  West  Virginia  mission  effort.  He  is  now  in  his 
4th  year  as  the  pastor  of  the  church.  God  has  continued  to  greatly  bless  them, 
their  church  building  is  worth  one  quarter  million  and  is  paid  for  except  for 
$17,000.  They  started  with  ten  people  and  now  have  thirty-five.  Rev.  Partin  had 

-34- 


3  requests;  (1)  prayer  for  Ray  Slaughter,  former  Director  of  Missions,  who  has 
cancer,  (2)  pray  for  their  revival  which  will  be  led  by  Rev.  Thomas  Kinchen,  and 
(3)  pray  that  they  will  be  able  to  gravel  a  bigger  parking  lot  so  people  will  have 
somewhere  to  park  without  having  to  walk  in  the  mud. 

29.  Moderator  Culler  adjourned  the  meeting  at  9:00  p.m. 

SECOND  DAY 

30.  The  second  day  of  the  117th  annual  meeting  was  called  to  order  by

Church. 

31.  Rev.  Glenn  Caudill  of  Oak  Grove  Baptist  Church  welcomed  the  205

They  sang  several  songs. 

34.  Rev.  Jim  Gore  of  Millers  Creek  Baptist  Church  brought  the  message  of 
the  evening,  "Why  Is  Prayer  So  Important?".  Rev.  Gore  stated  that  "Prayer 
releases  the  energies  of  God  in  us  and  through  us".  Prayer  will  result  in  three 
things;  (1)  presence  of  God  in  us,  (2)  filled  with  the  spirit,  and  (3)  speak  the 
word  of  God  with  boldness.  Rev.  Gore  stated  that  he  is  afraid  that  we  are 
unaware  of  God's  presence.  He  asked  "When  was  the  last  time  the  presence 
of  God  was  perceived  in  your  life?".  He  also  stated,  "When  we  perceive  the 
presence  of  God  in  our  life,  the  sandhedrin  can  take  their  best  shot,  and  we 
will  be  alright".  "When  we  learn  to  get  a  hold  of  God  and  when  we  do  it,  people 
in  this  county  are  going  to  know  there  is  God".  He  ended  his  message  with  a 
prayer. 

35.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "What  A  Friend  We  Have  In  Jesus" 
led  by  Mr.  Gregg  Wright  of  First  Baptist  Church,  North  Wilkesboro  accom- 
panied on  the  piano  by  Mrs.  Rosalee  Church  of  Oak  Grove  Baptist  Church. 

36.  Carlos  and  Betty  Pardue  were  introduced  to  give  a  report  on  their  year  in 
Tanzania,  East  Africa.  They  told  about  missionary  Boyd  Pierce  who  helped 
them  through  customs  and  stated  that  God  helped  them  because  of  all  the 
prayers  being  offered  up  for  them  on  that  day.  They  thanked  everyone  for 
everything  that  had  been  done  for  them  and  that  it  was  good  to  be  back  home 
then  they  presented  a  short  slide  presentation.  Betty  urged  us  all  to  pray  for 
our  missionaries  continuously.  "The  safest  place  in  the  world  is  when  you  are 
in  God's  will  and  you  are  where  He  wants  you  to  be." 

37.  BUSINESS  SESSION 

A.  First  item  of  business  was  the  vote  to  be  taken  on  the  proposed 
new  constitution.  Rev.  Rex  Shumate  suggested  a  minor  change  in 
Article  3,  Section  3  in  the  last  sentence  -  add  to  the  end  of  the 
sentence  "at  its  next  annual  session".  Moderator  Culler  then  ask- 
ed for  a  standing  vote  on  the  adoption  of  the  new  constitution. 
The  constitution  was  adopted  without  any  votes  against. 

B.  Rev.  Jim  Gore  came  before  the  association  to  make  a  motion  -"  In 
view  of  the  matters  brought  forth  October  3  in  the  Properties  Com- 

-35- 


mittee  Report,  I  make  a  motion  that  the  association  reconsider  the 
action  taken  to  disburse  the  Ministry  Reserve  Fund."  Motion  was 
seconded  by  Rev.  Paul  Shoupe.  Rev.  Gore  stated  that  the  Proper- 
ties Committee  listed  a  great  number  of  items  that  need  work  on 
the  associational  property  and  needs  of  the  associational  office. 
He  stated  that  these  were  urgent  needs  and  we  were  about  to 
spend  our  last  nickel.  Rev.  Gore  has  contacted  people  on  the 
Coordinating  Council  and  Finance  Committee  to  re-evaluate  the 
way  we  are  doing  the  Ministry  Reserve  Fund.  Motion  carries.  Next, 
Rev.  Gore  made  the  following  motion  -  "I  make  a  motion  to 
disburse  the  Ministry  Reserve  Fund  in  the  following  way:  (1) 
$7,000  to  Fruitland  Baptist  Bible  Institute  for  the  training  of 
ministers,  (2)  $7,000  to  the  Northeast  Baptist  Association  in  the 
state  of  Sao  Paulo,  Brazil  for  the  purchase  of  a  building  site  for  a 
church,  and  (3)  the  balance  of  approximately  $7,450  to  be  used 
based  on  the  recommendations  contained  in  the  report  of  the  Pro- 
perties Committee."  Motion  seconded  by  Rev.  Rex  Shumate. 
Change  in  motion  is  one  item,  number  3,  which  changed  V»  of  the 
money  going  to  build  a  chapel  at  the  prison  unit,  which  would 
have  been  put  in  a  building  fund  and  had  the  possibility  of 
creating  the  same  problem  we  had  with  the  past  fund.  Moderator 
Culler  called  for  a  standing  vote  -  was  adopted  without  any  votes 
against. 

C.  Director  of  Missions,  Bill  McKinney,  came  to  give  his  report.  He 
urged  everyone  to  read  the  written  report  in  the  Book  of  Reports. 
He  issued  4  challenges  to  the  association  -  (1)  to  meet  the  need 
for  a  parking  lot  for  the  First  Southern  Baptist  Chapel  in  West 
Virginia,  (2)  churches  to  make  it  possible  for  their  pastor  or  others 
to  go  on  the  Brazil  trip  on  May  3, 1989,  or  to  go  ourselves,  (3)  chur- 
ches participate  in  the  World  Missions  Revival  April  16-22,  1989, 
(cost  approximately  $300  per  church),  and  (4)  churches  get  ready 
to  participate  in  the  1990  simultaneous  revivals  "Here's  Hope,  God 
Cares  for  You." 

D.  Rev.  Hadley  Triplett  gave  the  Resolutions  Committee  Report.  He 
thanked  the  hosting  churches,  Pleasant  Home  and  Oak  Grove,  for 
everything  they  had  done  and  he  also  thanked  all  of  the  com- 
mitees. 

E.  Mr.  Jim  Triplett  gave  the  Memorials  Committee  Report  (printed

We  had  a  total  of  24  honor  clerks  out  of  41  church  clerks.  These  clerks  had 
their  church  letter  into  the  associational  office  by  the  deadline  date  with  every 
blank  filled,  all  totals  correct,  and  all  dollar  figures  rounded  to  the  nearest 
dollar.  Each  of  these  clerks  will  be  receiving  a  Certificate  of  Recognition  and 
have  their  name  printed  in  the  associational  minutes.  There  accurateness  and 
promptness  makes  my  job  so  much  easier.  I  want  to  say  to  each  honor  clerk 
how  much  I  appreciate  the  great  job  they  did.  I  hope  that  this  list  will  grow 
longer  each  year  until  we  have  41  honor  clerks.  There  were  also  several  clerks 
who  made  only  one  or  two  mistakes  which  is  also  to  be  commended. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
Teresa  H.  Taylor,  Associational  Clerk

Missions  Committee  Report 

Over  the  past  year  our  association  continued  its  active  involvement  in 
several  areas  of  missions  ministries.  First,  we  contributed  $3,600  of  church 
pastoral  assistance  in  our  ongoing  effort  to  support  the  West  Union  Baptist 
Mission  in  West  Virginia.  Second,  we  provided  another  effective  "Ministry  to 
Racing  Fans"  this  year  through  the  efforts  of  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Men. 
Third,  we  continued  to  undergird  the  local  prison  ministry  directed  by 
Chaplain  Ken  Byrd.  Plans  are  now  being  made  for  the  construction  of  a  chapel 
at  the  prison  unit  with  the  aid  of  Brushy  Mountain  Baptists.  In  addition, 
volunteers  from  our  association  maintained  their  usual  busy  schedule  of  devo- 
tional programs  in  area  nursing  homes  and  other  residential  facilities. 

Besides  furthering  these  ministries,  we  are  currently  doing  groundwork  to 
pave  the  way  for  the  sending  of  mission  teams  to  Brazil.  Our  association  made 
a  commitment  at  the  1987  Annual  Meeting  to  participate  in  the  Sao  Paulo  Part- 
nership, a  project  of  the  Foreign  Mission  Board.  Since  that  time,  the  Rev.  Gore 
and  Dr.  Bill  McKinney  have  visited  the  mission  site,  prepared  a  slide  presenta- 
tion on  this  mission  opportunity,  and  presented  it  at  several  churches.  Our 
goal  is  to  recruit,  train,  and  send  10  volunteer  missionaries  in  the  spring  of 
1989  from  Brushy  Mountain  and  neighboring  associations. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
Welton  O.  Seal,  Jr. 


Ordination  Committee  Report 

We  regret  to  report  that  the  services  of  the  Ordination  Committee  were  not 
called  upon  during  this  associational  year.  Let  us  pray  to  "the  Lord  of  the 
Harvest  to  send  out  more  laborers  into  his  harvest."  (Matthew  9:38) 

Respectfully  submitted, 
John  T.  Wayland,  Chairman

November  5,  1987,  I  presided  in  the  Coordinating  Council  meeting.  I  have 
met  with  the  Coordinating  Council  each  time  in  the  monthly  meetings,  except 
one;  the  Vice-Moderator,  Dr.  James  Hubbard,  presided  in  that  meeting. 

In  December  1987,  I  called  a  meeting  of  Pastors  and  one  representative 
from  each  church,  as  the  Constitution  provides,  to  consider  business  coming 
up  in  January  1988  Quarterly  Meeting.  We  met  in  Wilkesboro  Baptist  Church.

January  4, 1988, 1  called  the  Quarterly  Meeting  to  order,  meeting  in  the  Zion 
Hill  Baptist  Church,  Boomer.  I  presided  in  this  meeting.  The  message  was 
given  by  Rev.  Ray  Roberts,  which  was  well  received  by  all. 

April  4,  1988,  I  presided  in  the  business  session,  meeting  in  First  Baptist 
Church,  North  Wilkesboro. 

The  July  Quarterly  Meeting  was  held  in  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church. 
There  was  no  business.  I  recognized  the  Director  of  Missions,  Rev.  Bill  McKin- 
ney,  who  presented  the  program  and  recognized  Rev.  Richard  Smith,  from  the 
Baptist  State  Convention  Office,  who  spoke  to  the  Pastors  and  Chairmen  of 
Deacons,  concerning  incorporation  of  churches.  This  message  and  informa- 
tion given  by  Brother  Smith  was  well  received. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  I  have  attended  numerous  committee  meetings 
and  other  meetings  relative  to  my  office  as  Moderator.

Evangelism  Report 

Paul  Hugger  was  called  to  a  church  in  Georgia,  and  I  was  asked  to  fill  his 
unexpired  term.  Therefore,  this  report  may  not  be  as  detailed  as  Paul  would 
have  made  it. 

The  major  emphasis  this  year  was  the  Bailey  Smith  crusade  in  which  over 
500  decisions  were  made.  I  am  convinced  the  results  of  this  crusade  was  our 
Heavenly  Father  responding  to  the  many  prayers  of  His  people.  Thank  all  who 
gave  of  their  time  and  talent  for  this  endeavor. 

Many  opportunities  remain  in  evangelism,  in  our  association.  One  that  is  far 
reaching  is  our  commitment  to  help  establish  churches  in  Brazil.  Our  Director 
of  Missions  has  been  there  and  will  return  to  Brazil  to  co-ordinate  our  efforts 
there.  Please  pray  for  the  Evangelism  Committee  that  we  will  be  sensitive  to 
the  needs  around  us,  and  that  we  will  respond  as  our  Lord  leads.

Sunday  School  Report 

People  who  need  to  have  their  lives  touched  by  the  saving  love  of  Christ  is 
what  Sunday  School  is  all  about.  Challenge  10/90  is  reaching  10  million  people 
through  Sunday  School  by  the  year  1990.  We  have  a  lot  to  do  in  our  Sunday 
Schools  in  helping  to  accomplish  these  goals.  1987-88  was  centered  on  the 
theme  "Touch  Lives,  Change  People".  That  is  what  Christ  commanded  us  to 
do,  touch  lives  and  change  people.  We  are  commanded  by  Christ  to  go  and 
make  disciples. 

"Gather  the  People"  expresses  the  urgency  to  reach  all  persons  for  Christ, 
and  continue  moving  toward  the  Bold  Mission  Thrust  goal  of  10  million  per- 
sons enrolled  in  Sunday  School  by  September  30, 1990.  The  goal  for  1988-89  is 


-49- 


to  gather  350,000  new  persons  for  Sunday  School  enrollment.  These  goals  can 
be  accomplished  through  these  levels  of  actions:  the  Basic  Sunday  School 
Program,  Priority  Projects,  and  Challenge  Projects. 

The  following  paragraphs  describe  briefly  the  major  events  of  1988.  We  at- 
tended Key  Leadership  at  Ridgecrest  and  Vacation  Bible  School  Clinic  at 
Viewmont  Baptist  Church,  Hickory.  Our  VBS  Clinic  was  held  at  Hinshaw 
Street  this  year.  We  appreciate  Wilkesboro  Baptist  Church  for  hosting  the 
Regional  State  Sunday  School  Conference  this  spring.  This  special  training 
was  well  attended  by  our  local  churches.  It  was  a  very  informative  training 
event.  We  look  forward  to  having  our  Associational  Training  School  this  fall. 
We  will  study  the  series  entitled  "The  People  Challenge:  Sunday  School 
Outreach"  by  Spooner  and  Piland.  Also  we  will  try  to  interpret  "Get  in  Touch 
-Keep  in  Touch:  A  Sunday  School  Outreach  Communication  Plan"  by  Floyd  A. 
Craig.  This  plan  will  work  if  developed  properly. 

Through  Bible  study  and  outreach  we  bring  people  who  need  to  know  Christ 
into  a  support  system  designed  to  instruct  them  into  a  relationship  with  the 
Jesus  Christ.  Every  Sunday  School  worker  needs  to  be  visiting  and  cultivating 
prospects. 

We  need  to  thank  God  for  Dedicated  workers  who  are  committed  in  His  ser- 
vice. May  each  Sunday  School  set  goals  and  work  hard  to  meet  those  goals. 
The  ASSIST  Team  is  certainly  willing  to  help  in  every  way  possible  in  the  new 
year.

Richard  Moretz,  Sunday  School  Director 


Woman's  Missionary  Union  Report 

What  a  great  year  to  be  in  Woman's  Missionary  Union.  We  have  had  a  great 
year  as  we  celebrated  WMU's  100th  birthday  in  a  grand  and  glorious  way.  Bir- 
thday parties,  old  fashion  days  with  covered  dish  dinners  and  centennial 
dramas  were  held  in  many  of  our  churches. 

We  began  our  year  on  September  15,  with  an  Associational  WMU  Leader- 
ship Conference  at  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church  for  training  leaders  in  all 
age  levels.  We  participated  in  the  Migrant  Workers  Ministry  and  prepared  a 
fellowship  meal  after  each  service  in  September  and  October. 

On  November  17,  our  Foreign  Mission  Study  was  held  at  Moravian  Falls 
Baptist  Church,  the  best  ever  with  over  150  present.  Mrs.  Gail  Calloway  told  of 
the  work  in  South  Korea.  A  Korean  meal  was  enjoyed  by  all.  Our  National  Mis- 
sion Prayer  plan  was  initiated  during  the  Week  of  Prayer  for  Foreign  Missions. 
Each  person  was  asked  to  sign  a  commitment  card  committing  themselves  to 
pray  daily  for  missions. 

On  January  23,  Miss  Martha  Franks,  retired  missionary  to  China  for  over  30 
years,  led  us  in  our  Prayer  Retreat  at  Wilkesboro  Baptist  Church.  Over  100  men 
and  women  were  given  a  challenge  to  wake  up  and  pray  for  a  spiritual  revival 
in  America.

On  March  10,  our  Home  Mission  Study  for  all  age  levels  was  held  at  Roaring 
River  Baptist  Church.  The  Rev.  Neal  Hatfield  and  Mr.  Don  Davis  spoke  to  us  on 
the  theme  "Planting  Churches".  To  highlight  the  Week  of  Prayer  for  Home 
Missions,  on  March  13,  Mr.  C.H.  and  Patricia  Frazier  from  Greensboro,  NC 
presented  a  monologue  on  Pioneer  Missionary  Miss  Annie  Armstrong  at 
Oakwoods  Baptist  Church.  In  her  monologue  Mrs.  Frazier 
seemed  to  actually  become  the  person  she  portrayed.  A  full  house  was  pre- 
sent to  see  and  here  this  heart  moving  message. 

The  NC  WML)  held  its  annual  meeting  in  Greensboro  March  18  and  19. 
Twelve  from  the  Brushy  Mountain  Association  attended. 

Around  65  from  our  association  had  an  opportunity  of  a  lifetime  when  they 
attended  the  Foreign  Mission  Board  Appointment  Service  in  the  Greensboro 
Coliseum  on  April  12.  Baptist  from  all  over  NC  filled  the  coliseum  to  capacity, 
16,500,  to  experience  the  heart  warming  and  unique  missionary  appointment 
service,  where  38  missionaries  were  appointed  to  twenty  different  countries. 
Weeks  prior  to  the  service  many  signed  a  prayer  commitment  scroll  commit- 
ting themselves  to  pray  for  this  service  with  other  prayers  of  our  state. 

The  WMU  annual  meeting  was  held  at  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church  on  May  3. 
The  women  of  Oakwoods  presented  the  centennial  drama  "Let  Me  Count  the 
Ways".  A  certificate  from  the  State  Office  was  presented  to  the  WMU  of 
Brushy  Mountain  Association  by  Dr.  Bill  McKinney  in  recognition  of  the 
achievements  made  in  1986-87.  Following  the  meeting  a  birthday  party 
celebrating  100  years  of  Woman's  Missionary  Union  was  enjoyed  by  all. 

The  Centennial  Celebration  in  Richmond,  Virginia  on  May  13  and  14  was 
one  of  the  most  moving  and  memorable  experiences  of  a  lifetime  and  the  42 
men  and  women  from  our  association  were  thrilled  to  be  a  part  of  this  celebra- 
tion. People  from  all  over  the  world  enjoyed  the  full  two  day  events  of  picnics 
in  the  park,  parades,  assemblies,  banquet,  tours  of  the  Foreign  Mission  Board 
and  the  Missionary  Learning  Center  in  Rockville,  VA.  It  was  a  great  honor  to 
represent  the  Brushy  Mountain  Associational  WMU  in  the  parade  of  all  WMU 
Associations  in  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention. 

An  Associational  G.A.  Sleepover  was  held  on  May  20  at  Hinshaw  Street 
Baptist  Church.  About  60  girls  and  their  leaders  enjoyed  a  good  spiritual  and 
fun  time.  The  BYW  Spring  Fling  was  held  at  Mt.  Pleasant  Baptist  Church.  The 
guest  speaker  was  Brenda  Harris,  Journeyman  to  Korea. 

Our  Mission  Action  project  was  "Pennies  for  Postage".  We  collected  48 
books  of  stamps  for  the  Christmas  package  for  the  NC  Correctional  Center  for 
Women.  Our  spring  mission  project  was  to  help  the  Rainbow  Center  of  Wilkes, 
Inc.  Bedspreads,  sheets,  towels,  bath  sets,  blankets  and  $393.00  in  cash  was 
given.  We  also  participated  in  the  "Karts  for  Kids"  sponsored  by  Food  Lion 
where  they  gave  5  percent  of  all  groceries  bought  on  April  18,  19  and  20.  Over 
$70,000  was  given  to  Baptist  Children's  Homes  for  the  Cameron  Boys  Camp 
by  Food  Lion  in  this  venture.  Many  who  could  not  go  to  a  Food  Lion  store 
bought  their  groceries  locally  and  sent  5  percent  of  their  receipt  to  the  Baptist 
Children's   Home. 

This  year  has  been  busy  and  exciting;  many  things  have  been  accomplish- 
ed; things  have  been  felt  and  received  that  we  can  never  recapture.  Our  first 
century  is  over  and  our  second  century  has  begun.  We  are  writing  our  second 


-51- 


century  history  as  we  go.  We  will  surely  have  to  plan  wisely  and  work  hard  to 
come  up  to  the  foremothers  of  our  organization.  As  we  labor  together  we  will 
provide  the  best  channels  for  Southern  Baptist  women  and  girls  to  grow  in 
missions,  leadership  and  service.  My  special  thanks  to  all  of  you  for  your  love, 
prayers  and  support.

Church  Training  Report 

We  rejoice  over  the  many  souls  won  to  the  Lord  during  the  crusade  effort  in 
Wilkes  County  this  summer.  These  babes  in  Christ  need  to  be  discipled  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  commands  of  our  Lord.  The  Church  Training  Department 
has  made  available  a  great  deal  of  discipleship  material.  I  hope  each  church 
will  take  advantage  of  these  in  the  coming  year.  This  coming  year  can  be  a 
great  year  for  Church  Training  in  our  association.

Associational  Music  Report 

The  past  several  months  have  been  spent  in  organization  for  the  coming 
year.  Zone  Directors  have  been  appointed  to  help  keep  in  touch  with  all  of  our 
churches.  These  Zone  Directors  are:  Ms.  Glenda  Barker  (Liberty  Grove),  Mrs. 
Martha  Childs  (Little  Rock),  Mr.  Vernon  Mitchell  (Millers  Creek),  Mrs.  Galyn 
Page  (New  Hope),  and  Mr.  Emmett  Elledge  (Oakwoods).  Music  surveys  were 
mailed  to  each  church  in  the  association  asking  for  input  into  musical  events 
for  the  future.  One  event  has  already  been  planned  for  early  spring.  March  13, 
1989  is  the  date  for  a  big  Region  VII  Choral  Festival  at  Wilkesboro  Baptist 
Church.

Director  of  Missions  Report 

This  year  in  the  life  of  our  Association  has  been  a  very  interesting  one.  It  has 
appeared  at  times  that  little  was  being  accomplished,  but  that  was  hardly  the 
case.  Much  time  was  spent  in  attending  almost  weekly  meetings  of  the 
Evangelism  Committee  and  the  special  committee  on  Lay  Renewal.  The  latter 
activity  failed  to  materialize  due  to  a  lack  of  participation  from  the  churches. 
That  was  also  the  case  with  our  planned  Sunday  School  Growth  Campaign. 
However,  many  good  things  did  happen. 

Our  support  of  First  Southern  Baptist  Chapel  in  West  Union,  West  Virginia 
was  continued  at  the  levels  to  which  we  were  previously  committed.  A  plann- 
ed VBS  at  that  church  could  not  be  held  due  to  hazardous  conditions  related 

-52- 


to  the  completion  of  their  construction.  The  work  has  gone  well  in  this  mis- 
sion. 

We  have  continued  to  provide  excellent  local  ministries  in  several  ways.  The 
racing  fan  ministries  in  October  and  April  were  well  received.  Our  Baptist  Men 
and  our  youth  have  worked  well  in  assisting  with  services  of  worship  at  the 
NASCAR  races.  Our  ministries  to  rest  homes  (Mt.  Pleasant,  Wilkes  Towers) 
have  had  excellent  participation.  The  Bible  Study  at  North  Wilkesboro  Correc- 
tional unit  has  continued  and  the  part-time  prison  chaplain  is  having  an  effec- 
tive ministry  on  a  daily  basis. 

Pastor  Jim  Gore  and  I  were  privileged  to  travel  to  Brazil  on  your  behalf.  We 
examined  the  mission  opportunities  available  in  Nordeste  Do  Estado  Associa- 
tion of  the  state  of  Sao  Paulo.  The  nine-day  trip  was  filled  with  preaching, 
witnessing,  and  other  speaking  opportunities.  We  are  urging  that  Brushy 
Mountain  Baptist  Association  seek  to  send  at  least  one  ten-person 
evangelism  team  to  that  association  during  each  of  the  next  four  years.  The 
Elkin  Baptist  Association  will  be  supplying  the  only  other  team  to  go  in  1988 
and  we  hope  to  enlist  a  team  for  March  or  April  of  1989.  Pastor  Gore  and  I  have 
had  eight  invitations  to  share  our  slide  presentations  with  churches. 

We  rejoice  on  behalf  of  every  person  who  experienced  a  saving  encounter 
with  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  during  the  Bailey  Smith  Evangelism  Crusade.  Many 
of  our  churches  have  been  blessed  by  the  harvest.  Other  persons  made  signifi- 
cant renewals  of  commitment.  We  must  now  nurture  and  disciple  those  who 
have  made  commitments  "...Till  we  all  come  in  the  unity  of  the  faith,  and  of  the 
knowledge  of  the  Son  of  God,  unto  a  perfect  man,  unto  the  measure  of  the 
stature  of  the  fulness  of  Christ... Ephes.  4:13." 

During  the  past  year  noteworthy  achievements  have  been  made  in  Bible 
Skills.  We  had  a  very  good  number  of  children  and  or  youth  who  were  suc- 
cessful at  the  associational,  the  regional,  and  the  state  levels.  WMU 
achievements  were  also  noteworthy.  Forty-nine  persons  attended  the  WMU 
Centennial  celebration  in  Richmond,  Virginia.  WMU  has  been  especially  ac- 
tive in  prayer  support  of  Carlos  and  Betty  Pardue  as  they  served  in  Tanzania 
this  past  year. 

It  has  been  my  privilege  to  work  with  an  unusually  large  number  of  pastor 
search  committees  during  this  year.  Other  counselling  opportunities  have 
been  plentiful  and  those  who  have  been  served  are  most  appreciative  of  the 
Association  for  making  it  possible  to  offer  personal  counselling  at  the 
associational  office.  I  have  served  on  the  Baptist  State  Convention  Long- 
Range  Strategy  and  Planning  Committee  during  this  year  and  have  been  able 
to  attend  all  meetings  of  that  group  which  is  reporting  to  the  Convention  in 
November  the  proposed  priorities  of  ministry  for  the  period  1989-1995.  Much 
time  has  also  been  spent  in  such  local  helping  ministries  as  Wilkes  Day  Care 
Center  (of  which  I  am  president),  Wilkes  Teen  Pregnancy  Council  (which  I  co- 
chair),  United  Way,  and  Catherine  Barber  Shelter  For  The  Homeless. 

These  are  only  the  most  public  of  my  functions  as  your  Director  of  Missions. 
I  do  trust  and  pray  that  all  of  us  -  as  churches  and  as  individuals  -  will  be  deep- 
ly involved  in  carrying  out  whatever  ministry  and  service  opportunities  which 
our  Lord  makes  available  to  us  during  the  year  just  ahead.

Properties  Committee  Report 

The  major  project  involving  Associational  properties  during  this  year  was 
the  re-roofing  of  our  office  building.  Dennis  Glasco,  roofing  contractor  from 
Zion  Hill  Baptist  Church  arranged  a  special  price  on  materials.  He,  along  with 
other  men  from  Zion  Hill  Church  and  Tom  Vannoy  of  Purlear  Baptist  Church 
donated  two  Saturdays  to  put  the  roof  on.  The  project  was  completed  with  a 
very  significant  saving. 

The  present  condition  of  Associational  properties  is  as  follows: 

1.  The  Associational  parsonage  is  in  good  shape  except  for  the  need  of 
exterior  painting  which  should  be  scheduled  within  the  next  2  years. 
Portions  of  the  interior  need  repainting  and  the  bathrooms  need  new 
fixtures  as  these  are  worn  and  parts  are  difficult  to  obtain. 

2.  The  Association's  lawn  mowing  equipment  is  quite  old  and  difficult  to 
keep  in  running  condition. 

3.  Our  office  equipment  needs  to  be  upgraded.  We  have  received  as  a 
donation  from  Millers  Creek  Baptist  Church  a  more  satisfactory 
mimeograph  machine.  The  typewriter  is  badly  worn  and  should  be 
replaced.  Associational  functions  could  be  facilitated  by  securing  a 
small  computer  with  word-processing  capability. 

4.  There  is  a  drainage  problem  at  the  entrance  of  the  office.  When  rains 
occur  water  ponds  in  the  carport.  The  parking  lot  is  in  need  of  surface 
treatment.

School  of  Christian  Studies  Report 

Please  consult  the  Associational  Annuals  for  1981  and  1982  concerning  in- 
formation of  introduction  pertaining  to  Seminary  Extension  Programs 
throughout  the  United  States  and  North  Carolina.  North  Carolina  continues  to 
lead  all  our  states  in  Seminary  Extension  Programs. 

Last  Fall  we  offered  one  course  of  study  -  OT  0141  -  "The  Post-Exilic  Pro- 
phets" -  a  study  of  the  prophets  after  the  period  of  Judah's  exile,  with  major  at- 
tention given  to  the  message  of  Malachi.  We  had  ten  persons  enrolled,  with 
four  taking  the  examinations  and  receiving  college-level  credit.  Rev.  W.  Paul 
Shoupe  was  the  teacher.  We  did  not  have  a  course  of  study  this  past  Spring. 

-54- 


This  fall  we  are  offering  one  course  of  study  in  the  THEOLOGICAL- 
HISTORICAL  AREA  -  CH  0210  -  "Life  and  Faith  of  Baptists".  This  course  in- 
troduces the  student  to  some  phases  of  Baptist  history  so  that  he/she  will 
have  a  better  understanding  and  appreciation  of  our  Baptist  heritage.  Section  I 
deals  with  Baptist  history  from  the  17th  century  in  Europe,  featuring  the 
history  of  Southern  Baptists  since  1845.  Section  II  concentrates  on  a  survey  of 
important  Baptist  doctrines.  The  course  writer  is  Dr.  James  E.  Tull,  professor 
emeritus,  Southeastern  Baptist  Theological  Seminary.  The  texts  are:  Our  Bap- 
tist Story,  Duncan  (1972  edition)  and  What  Baptists  Stand  For,  Cook  (1961  edi- 
tion). The  course  will  begin  October  11  and  continue  on  Tuesday  nights 
through  November  29  at  7:00  p.m.  at  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church  (two  hours 
each  night).  This  is  a  college-level  course  and  examinations  will  be  required 
for  college  credit.  However,  you  do  not  have  to  take  the  examinations  if  you 
wish  not  to  do  so.  The  cost  of  the  course  is  $25.00.  The  teacher  will  be  Dr.  John 
T.  Wayland.  It  is  the  hope  of  our  committee  that  each  pastor  will  consider  par- 
ticipating in  this  course,  and  that  persistent  promotion  and  announcements 
will  be  given  to  the  congregations  encouraging  participation. 

This  coming  year  (Winter-Spring)  we  are  offering  a  new  college-level  course 
in  the  PRACTICAL  AREA  -  PB  0300  -  "Clinical  Pastoral  Training".  This  course 
is  designed  to  provide  the  skills  necessary  for  effective  hospital  ministry.  Us- 
ing V2  inch  VHS  video-taped  presentations,  pastors  and  lay  ministers  analyze 
their  own  approaches  to  those  who  are  hospitalized.  Clinical  exercises  are  in- 
cluded in  the  30-hour  schedule.  The  course  writer  is  G.  Wade  Rowatt: 
Diplomate,  American  Association  of  Pastoral  Counseling;  Supervisor  Associa- 
tion of  Clinical  Pastoral  Education;  Associate  Dean  of  School  of  Theology  and 
Professor  of  Psychology  of  Religion,  Southern  Baptist  Theological  Seminary. 
The  textbook  is  The  Hospital  Handbook  by  Lawrence  Reimer  and  James 
Wagner.  The  course  will  begin  January  10  and  extend  through  March  14  (3 
hours  each  night).  We  will  have  a  certified  teacher  from  our  North  Carolina 
Baptist  Hospital  School  of  Pastoral  Care.  We  are  endeavoring  to  hold  the  cost 
to  $25.00.  The  course  will  be  taught  at  Wilkes  General  Hospital.

Associational  Long  Range  Strategy  Planning  Committee  Report 

The  Long  Range  Strategy  Planning  Committee  proposed  a  five-year  plan  for 
the  work  of  the  Association  at  the  1987  Annual  Meeting.  In  the  January  1988, 
Quarterly  Meeting,  the  plan  was  approved.  These  six  goals  were  adopted:  (1) 
enhance  the  fellowship  among  member  churches;  (2)  present  the  Gospel  to 
everyone  with  a  view  toward  a  25  percent  increase  in  baptisms  per  year;  (3)  en- 
courage and  facilitate  church  growth  and  development;  (4)  coordinate  mission 
ministries  in  our  area  and  promote  cooperation  in  state,  home  and  foreign 
missions;  (5)  provide  an  additional  channel  by  which  member  churches  may 
interact  with  Southern  Baptist  Convention  agencies  and  institutions;  (6) 
strengthen  the  organization  of  our  association. 

During  the  course  of  this  year,  the  following  actions  have  been  taken  toward 
meeting  the  above  objectives: 

-55- 


1.  To  involve  member  churches  in  associational  missions,  Dr.  McKin- 
ney  and  Rev.  Gore  have  given  a  slide  presentation  at  several  chur- 
ches promoting  the  Brazil  project. 

2.  In  observance  of  the  Year  of  the  Laity,  several  churches  have  con- 
ducted a  doctrinal  study  on  "The  Priesthood  of  the  Believer." 

3.  Many  member  churches  worked  together  to  spread  the  gospel 
through  support  of  the  Bailey  Smith  Evangelistic  Crusade. 

4.  Other  mission  outreach  efforts,  such  as  the  Youth  Mission  Projects 
of  Wilkesboro  and  North  Wilkesboro  First,  have  been  carried  out  by 
individual  member  churches. 

5.  The  pastors  active  in  the  Wilkes  Ministerial  Association   have  been 
designated  to  serve  as  an  informal  "committee"  to  promote 
cooperative  efforts  between  Brushy  Mountain  Baptists  and  other  area 
churches. 

6.  To  encourage  church  development,  the  associational  office  has  sup- 
plied to  each  church  a  study  of  local  population  trends. 

7.  To  enhance  continuing  education  for  pastors,  a  course  in  pastoral 
counseling  is  being  organized  for  implementation. 

8.  To  further  the  training  of  lay  leaders,  a  telephone  campaign  has 
been  conducted  to  invite  all  of  them  to  Key  Leader  training. 

9.  To  improve  the  coordination  of  mission  efforts,  a  study  committee 
has  been  formed  to  consider  the  creation  of  an  Associational  Mis- 
sions Development  Council.  Their  recommendation  is  forthcoming. 

10.  In  support  of  local  efforts  to  provide  institutional  chaplains,  funds 
have  been  requested  and  received  from  the  state  convention. 

11.  Work  has  begun  to  recruit  churches  for  participation  in  a  World  Mis- 
sions Conference  set  for  April  16-23,  1989.  Also,  missionary  person- 
nel have  been  invited,  and  accomodations  for  them  are  being  ar- 
ranged. 

12.  Involvement  in  state  missions  has  been  promoted  through  the 
September  weekend  with  state  personnel,  an  event  supported  and 
enjoyed  by  many  member  churches. 

13.  To  strengthen  the  organization  of  the  association  a  study  group  has 
been  appointed.  Their  recommendation  is  forthcoming. 

Regretably,  many  goals  for  the  current  year  have  not  yet  been  met.  But  the 
preceding  list  of  actions  taken  represents  a  fine  effort  among  many  Brushy 
Mountain  Baptists  to  work  together  to  further  the  cause  of  Christ  in  our  com- 
munity and  to  fulfill  God's  purposes  for  our  association  of  churches.

Brotherhood  Report 

During  March  1988,  E.  Clinton  Call  was  succeeded  as  Associational 
Brotherhood  Director  by  John  T.  German.  Mr.  Call  had  served  in  this  position 
for  seven  successful  years.  During  his  service  the  number  of  Brotherhood 
organizations  was  increased  and  the  programs  were  strengthened.  Mr.  Call 


-56- 


directed  the  Brotherhood  members  to  become  more  involved  in  church, 
associational,  and  state  activities.  A  significant  contribution  was  the  race 
track  ministry,  at  the  North  Wilkesboro  Speedway,  which  was  established  for 
NASCAR  race  fans.  Only  one  other  church  association  provides  this  service  in 
the  Baptist  State  Convention  of  North  Carolina.  The  services  to  the  First  Union 
400,  in  April,  and  the  Holly  Farms  400,  in  October,  have  been  attended  by  hun- 
dreds of  race  fans  who  expressed  sincere  gratitude  for  this  opportunity  to  wor- 
ship away  from  home.  Clinton  Call  is  noted  with  special  recognition  to  these 
years  of  successful  service. 

For  1988-89,  John  German  plans  to  continue  in  the  same  spirit  of  Christian 
service  as  demonstrated  by  Clinton  Call.  The  objectives  for  1988-89  are;  to 
become  acquainted  with  and  to  provide  organizational  support  for  the  leaders 
of  each  Brotherhood  group  in  the  association,  to  become  involved  with  ac- 
tivities of  the  North  Carolina  State  Brotherhood  Department,  to  provide  leader- 
ship workshops  for  Brotherhood  leaders  and  members,  and  to  serve  the 
association  by  keeping  the  different  Brotherhood  groups  informed  of  ac- 
tivities on  the  state  level.

Baptist  Hospital  Report 

Perhaps  the  word  which  best  sums  up  the  past  year  at  Baptist  Hospital  is 
expansion  -  expansion  of  facilities  and  services. 

The  hospital,  together  with  the  Bowman  Gray  School  of  Medicine,  is  still  in 
the  midst  of  the  largest  health  related  expansion  program  ever  in  North 
Carolina. 

New  programs  in  health  care,  initiated  in  recent  months,  include  the  Bren- 
ner Childern's  Hospital,  the  Sticht  Center  on  Aging,  a  new  hand  center,  liga- 
ment transplants,  new  methods  of  treating  certain  types  of  cancer,  new  pro- 
cedures for  helping  patients  with  heart  problems,  and  the  beginning  of  Air 
Care  International. 

During  the  past  fiscal  year,  the  total  hospital  revenue  budget  has  been  $181 
million.  Total  personnel  is  over  3,800.  There  were  22,085  patient  admissions  for 
a  total  of  196,554  patient  care  days.  Some  13,680  surgical  procedures  were 
performed  including  1,022  open  heart  operations  and  32  kidney  transplants. 
There  were  282,907  radiological  procedures,  4,401,552  clinical  laboratory 
tests, 14, 500  chemotherapy  treatments,  833  lithotripsy  treatments,  and  480  Air 
Care  missions. 

The  Department  of  Pastoral  Care  continues  its  ministries  to:  the  patient  in 
the  hospital;  the  family  and  friends  of  patients;  the  medical  staff  who  minister 
to  the  patient;  the  person  requesting  counseling  in  our  centers  in  Winston- 
Salem,  Fayetteville,  Morganton,  Charlotte,  Rockingham,  North  Wilkesboro; 
the  ministers  who  seek  our  courses  in  clinical  instruction,  equipping  them  for 
specialized  and  pastoral  ministries. 

Added  to  these  are  our  "Pastors'  Sabbath"  and  "Interim  Church" 
programs. ..as  we  work  closely  with  the  North  Carolina  Baptist  State  Conven- 
tion in  addressing  the  needs  of  pastors  and  churches. 

-57- 


The  faithful  delivery  of  pastoral  care,  beginning  within  our  Medical  Center 
and  reaching  around  the  world,  is  the  ministry  to  which  we  make  renewed 
commitment. 

In  January  Dr.  John  Lynch,  who  had  been  president  of  the  hospital  for  more 
than  seventeen  years,  submitted  his  resignation.  The  trustees  have  appointed 
a  Search  Committee  which  is  seeking  his  successor.  Mr.  Len  B.  Preslar,  Jr., 
who  for  many  years  has  been  vice-president  for  Financial  Management,  has 
been  named  chief  executive  officer. 

During  the  past  fiscal  year,  Baptist  Hospital  received  $659,062  through  the 
Cooperative  Program  and  $290,585  through  the  Homes  and  Hospital  Offering. 
The  trustees,  staff  and  patients  are  all  extremely  grateful  for  this  financial  sup- 
port.

The  Church  Annuity  Board  Report 

The  Annuity  Board  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  is  charged  by  the 
denomination  with  the  responsibility  of  administering  retirement  and  in- 
surance programs  to  meet  the  needs  of  ministers,  church  employees, 
denominational  employees,  and  seminary  students.  A  relief  and  assistance 
program  assists  needy,  disabled  and  retired  ministers  and  widows  of 
ministers.  This  program  is  funded  by  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention 
Cooperative  Program  and  by  private  donations  to  the  Annuity  Board's  Endow- 
ment Department. 

The  Southern  Baptist  Convention  gave  approval  this  year  in  San  Antonio  to 
the  Annuity  Board's  proposal  to  begin  offering  property  and  casualty  in- 
surance to  churches  and  associations.  These  services  include  church-owned 
property  coverage  (fire  and  theft),  general  liability,  worker's  compensation, 
bus  liability,  day-care  liability,  and  minister's  mal-practice  insurance 
coverages.  Let  us  be  thankful  our  convention  sees  our  needs  as  churches  and 
takes  steps  to  help  us. 

The  recent  Expanded  Annuity  Plan  is  an  effort  to  upgrade  the  retirement 
programs  of  ministers.  The  plan  stresses  the  cooperative  effort  of  the  local 
church,  the  individual  minister,  and  in  North  Carolina,  our  state  convention,  in 
supplying  an  adequate  retirement  plan  for  ministers.  Our  churches  need  to 
consider  the  needs  of  their  ministers  in  the  area  of  retirement  and  take  respon- 
sible steps  toward  I  Corinthians  9:11,  New  King  James  Version,  "If  we  have 
sown  spiritual  things  for  you,  is  it  a  great  thing  if  we  reap  your  material 
things."

American  Bible  Society  Report 

If  one  were  to  generate  a  list  of  all  the  languages  spoken  in  the  world  today, 
one  per  line,  60  lines  per  page,  how  many  pages  would  it  take?  It  would  take 
100  pages  to  list  all  the  spoken  languages-almost  6,000.  English  would  be  on- 
ly one  of  those  (Northern  and  Southern  are  not  considered  separate 
languages  here). 

At  last  count  1 ,884  of  these  languages  have  at  least  one  book  of  the  Bible 
translated-that  is  90  percent  of  the  world's  population  (303  have  the  whole  Bi- 
ble, 670  have  the  New  Testament  only,  and  91 1  have  one  or  more  books  of  the 
Bible  translated).  With  these,  of  course,  the  problems  are  that  many  have  no 
copy  of  the  scriptures,  and  even  if  they  did  illiteracy  would  keep  them  from 
reading  the  Bible. 

One  other  group,  the  people  who  have  no  translation  of  the  Word  at  all-over 
300  million  people-also  remains  a  large  prayer  need. 

The  American  Bible  Society  is  a  three  ring  circus  of  activity  with  Scripture 
translation  projects,  overseas  Bible  distribution,  and  United  States  ministries 
with  God's  Word.  Around  555  Scripture  translantion  projects  receive 
assistance  from  the  A.B.S.  In  Foreign  lands,  the  A.B.S.  works  with  other  Bible 
societies  in  distributing  millions  of  Bibles  every  year.  At  home  the  A.B.S. 
shares  over  100  million  copies  of  God's  Word  in  over  80  languages  annually. 

Special  emphases  include  "Act  Now-Go  With  the  Word!"  (for  young  people 
in  the  13-18  age  group);  Scriptures  for  Evangelism  (customized  editions  for 
soul  winning);  Scriptures  for  the  Military  (customized  editions  for  each  branch 
of  service);  Scriptures  in  Languages  Other  Than  English  (notably  Chinese  and 
Spanish);  and  Church  Representative  Programs  (volunteers  who  serve  as  liai- 
sions  between  the  A.B.S.  and  their  congregations-over  15,000). 

The  only  sad  note  is  that  every  year  decisions  must  be  made  about  who  will 
not  receive  translations  of  the  Word.  In  spite  of  the  growth  in  the  distribution 
of  the  Scriptures,  there  is  more  demand  than  there  is  supply. 

Bible  translation  and  distribution  is  one  of  our  better  investments  as  an 
association  toward  building  up  the  body  of  Christ.

Tarn  S.  Hutchinson,  Jr. 


Fruitland  Baptist  Bible  Institute  Report 

Fruitland  Baptist  Bible  Institute  provides  training  for  adults  called  to  church 
related  vocations.  At  present  there  are  approximately  130  students  enrolled. 
The  average  age  of  students  is  about  37. 

In  an  effort  to  reach  the  people  who  need  Fruitland  most,  the  school  now  of- 
fers a  full  first  quarter  scholarship  to  pastors  of  small  Baptist  churches  in 
North  Carolina  who  apply  for  the  winter,  spring,  and  summer  quarters.  This 
scholarship  covers  tuition,  room  and  board. 

Full  information  on  Fruitland  has  been  provided  for  every  pastor  in  the  Bap- 
tist State  Convention.  Each  Baptist  Association  in  North  Carolina  has  a  video 
tape  on  the  school. 

-59- 


Fruitland  is  in  the  best  financial  condition  in  its  history.  School  facilities  are 
modern  and  well  equipped  with  a  value  of  more  than  four  million  dollars. 

There  are  twenty-five  faculty  members  at  present.  Each  member  teaches 
four  hours  per  week  in  one  subject.  Remuneration  for  teachers  is  an 
honorarium  without  benefits. 

The  president  of  Fruitland  Baptist  Bible  Institute  has  announced  retirement 
early  as  of  October  24, 1989.  It  is  hoped  a  new  president  will  be  elected  and  on 
campus  by  July  1,  1989.

General  Board  Report 

The  NC  State  Baptist  Convention  General  Board  has  met  this  year  at  the 
Caraway  Conference  Center  and  Mars  Hill  College  and  will  meet  once  again  at 
Caraway  in  September.  Of  course  our  State  Convention  will  be  held  at  Fayette- 
ville  and  many  of  us  have  already  made  our  hotel  reservations  for  that  event. 

The  primary  subjects  under  discussion  were  as  to  the  distribution  of  funds 
to  our  Colleges  and  University  and  also  as  to  the  options  available  for  our 
churches  for  the  distribution  of  Cooperative  Program  funds.  We  have  also 
heard  a  financial  report  and  noted  that  our  Cooperative  Program  is  slightly 
below  what  it  was  at  this  time  last  year.  We  have  retained  Mrs.  Velma  Ferrell 
as  Director  of  the  Youth  and  Campus  Ministries  and  we  have  invited  Scott 
David  Freese  to  be  the  intern  as  Intern  at  Charlotte  Mission  Ministry.  We  had 
previously  talked  about  a  consultant  in  Chaplaincy  and  Military  ministries  and 
some  literature  was  disseminated  at  last  year's  annual  State  Convention.  We 
are  recommending  that  Rev.  Gerald  Richards  take  this  post.  Some  changes 
were  made  in  office  personnel  and  we  also  began  to  note  the  fast  approach  of 
the  retirement  of  Rev.  Bill  Jackson  for  Caraway.

North  Carolina  Missions  Report 

Last  year  NC  Baptists  agreed  to  join  with  Sao  Paulo,  Brazil  and  their  State 
Baptist  Convention  in  a  partnership.  We  would  like  to  start  1,000  churches. 
O.D.  Martin  has  been  down  there  and  he  reported  that  our  very  first  group  of 
volunteers  went  to  Sao  Paulo  last  November  to  do  mostly  planning  and  we 
sent  our  second  group  in  March  of  this  year.  It  is  pleasing  to  report  that  we 
now  have  52  associations  in  NC  paired  with  27  associations  in  Sao  Paulo.  We 
still  need  to  pair  three  more  associations.  Mr.  Martin  told  us  that  a  group  of 
Baptist  Men  from  the  Mitchell  Association  at  Spruce  Pine  put  up  a  pre-fab 
building  in  three  days  and  that  they  did  this  at  their  own  expense.  We  also 
learned  that  a  Brazilian  family  with  a  child  in  need  of  special  medical  help  was 
brought  to  Duke  Hospital  where  not  only  physical  and  medical  help  was  ob- 


-60- 


tained  but  also  spiritual  help.  Many  of  those  who  became  so  involved  have 
been  so  impressed  with  the  Baptist  work  and  presence  that  they  have  chosen 
to  become  further  involved.

The  Biblical  Recorder  Report 

There  is  an  old  saying,  "When  Baptists  know,  Baptists  will  do."  There  is 
also  an  old  saying,  "Tell  the  truth  and  trust  the  people."  The  Biblical  Recorder 
believes  and  tries  to  practice  both! 

In  a  rapidly  changing  world,  it  is  more  important  then  ever  before  that  Bap- 
tists be  well  informed  which  is  not  easy  in  an  age  that  is  complex,  busy  and 
competitive.  But  we  must  never  forsake  the  ideal, 

Baptists,  like  the  population  in  general,  are  watching  more  television  and 
listening  to  more  radio  than  they  are  reading.  Somehow  it  just  seems  easier  to 
watch  and  listen  than  read  and  think,  but  we  must  be  informed  and  involved  in 
the  work  of  the  Lord  as  Baptists  do  it. ...if  we  are  to  make  progress. 

For  155  years,  the  Baptist  paper  in  North  Carolina  has  issued  a  call  to 
greater  missions  and  greater  commitment  to  the  Commission  of  our  Lord  to 
win,  teach  and  baptize  persons. 

As  theftecorc/er  informs  it  also  gives  opportunity  for  Baptists  to  freely  ex- 
change points  of  view.  Baptists  do  not  have  a  hierarchial  form  of  church 
government  and  operation.  Every  person  is  important  and  opinions  are  valid  in 
direct  proportion  to  the  accuracy  of  information  upon  which  they  are  based. 
Democracies  do  not  survive  without  an  informed  people! 

With  all  the  upheaval  in  the  world,  the  nation,  and  even  in  Baptist  ranks, 
stability  can  be  maintained  only  when  good  and  sincere  people  know  the  truth 
and  take  their  stand  upon  it. 

To  make  it  possible  for  as  many  people  as  possible  to  read  the  paper  each 
week  at  the  lowest  possible  cost,  there  will  be  no  increase  in  subscription 
rates  for  1988.  If  your  church  does  not  have  the  Every  Family  Plan,  please  con- 
sider it  for  1989;  the  cost  is  only  $5.00  per  subscription  for  the  year.  Special  in- 
troductory offers  are  available.  Please  contact:

Baptist  Children's  Homes  Report 

You  took  the  time,  you  cared.  You  gave  much  when  you  didn't  have  to.  In 
behalf  of  Dr.  Blackwell,  the  children  in  care,  our  staff  and  trustees,  thank  you 
for  your  prayers,  your  caring  and  financial  support.  You  are  special  to  this 
child  care  ministry. 

A  major  thurst  beyond  our  quality  child  care  this  year  was  the  completion  of 
our  Long-Range  Plans.  To  continue  being  bold  in  child  care,  several 
challenges  were  accepted  by  our  staff  and  trustees  from  the  results  of  our 
five-year  LRP.  We  plan  to  add  two  emergency  care  homes  -  another  one  on  the 
Kennedy  Home  campus  and  one  where  the  need  is  greatest.  The  Cameron 
Boys  Camp  will  be  expanded  to  care  for  50  boys.  Two  specialized  small  group 
homes  will  be  opened  by  early  1989  -  a  teenage  mother-baby  home  and  a 
behavior  change  program  for  teenage  girls  in  Lenoir. 

Fifty  percent  of  our  children  have  had  little  or  no  spiritual  training  priorto 
their  being  in  our  care.  We  rejoice  that  79  were  baptized  into  the  family  of  God. 
Our  ministry  is  "Mission  in  Miniature." 

To  meet  these  challenges  and  continue  the  current  ministry  to  children,  our 
budget  must  move  from  7  million  dollars  (which  it  has  been  for  5  years)  to  11 
million  dollars  by  1992-93.  We  hope  that  by  1993,  the  Baptists  of  North 
Carolina  will  be  giving  50  percent  of  our  daily  operating  budget.  Currently  we 
receive  34  percent.  This  can  be  achieved  by  increasing  church  receipts 
through  the  Cooperative  Program,  the  Homes  &  Hospital  Offering  and 
designated  gifts  from  churches  and  individuals.  The  future  of  child  care  in 
North  Carolina  is  in  the  hands  of  the  Baptists  of  our  great  state.  We  believe 
they  will  meet  the  challenge. 

UPDATE  FROM  THE  LENOIR  FAMILY  SERVICES  CENTER: 

This  has  been  an  exciting  year.  A  partnership  between  the  Caldwell  Depart- 
ment of  Social  Services  and  the  Baptist  Children's  Homes  of  NC  is  imminent. 
A  gift  from  Mrs.  Marguerite  Noel  of  Kannapolis  will  facilitate  the  purchase  of  a 
house  for  the  behavior  change  program  in  Lenoir.  A  gift  from  the  Broyhill 
Foundation  will  enable  us  to  purchase  a  house  for  the  teenage-mother-baby 
program  also  in  Lenoir.  The  partnership  calls  for  equal  financial  responsibility 
with  the  Baptist  Chirldren's  Homes  also  providing  the  program  and  staff.  The 
Lenoir  office  will  be  moved  to  the  Noel  Home  in  Caldwell  County. 

Katrina  Shields  joined  the  Lenoir  staff  as  a  social  worker  in  August  pro- 
viding much-needed  assistance  with  the  increasing  number  of  applications 
for  all  BCH  ministries. 

Group  meetings  for  parents  of  boys  at  Cameron  Boys  Home  has  proven 
helpful  to  staff,  boys  and  parents. 

We  are  a  service  institution  ready  to  meet  the  needs  of  hurting  children  and 
their  families,  in  partnership  with  you  to  serve  the  children  of  North  Carolina.

Baptist  Foundation  Report 

For  several  years,  Montagress  Mercer  has  provided  an  example  of  estate 
stewardship  which  members  of  the  Foundation  staff  have  often  related,  but 
always  without  revealing  her  identity.  It  was  her  wish  that  "nobody  know". 
Mrs.  Mercer  died  this  spring.  We  can  now  share  her  name  as  well  as  her 
testimony.  It  was  her  wish  that  "Lottie"  should  have  her  farm.  To  accomplish 
that,  the  farm  was  deeded  to  the  Foundation  but  she  retained  all  benefit  from 
it  for  as  long  as  she  lived.  As  the  plan  for  doing  this  was  explained  to  her  and 
the  possibilities  unfolded,  she  clasped  her  hands  together  and  exclaimed, 
"I'm  so  happy!"  Now  her  happiness  has  been  justified.  That  which  she  desired 
is  now  a  reality:  the  income  from  her  trust  will  be  paid  forever  to  the  Lottie 
Moon  Offering.  It  is  incidents  like  this  which  tell  the  story  of  Baptist  Founda- 
tion. Facts,  figures  and  statistics  have  their  place,  but  the  people  behind  them 
are  the  real  story. 

Another  unique  expertise  provided  by  the  Foundation  is  in  helping  to 
analyze  a  person's  total  estate  picture  and  assisting  them  in  their  complete 
plan  of  estate  stewardship.  One  couple,  utilizing  the  Foundation's  expertise

quests here  and  there,  took  full  advantage  of  the  tax  laws  available  for  them 
and  provided  fully  for  their  son  and  the  Baptist  causes  which  they  desired  to 
support.  Their  satisfaciton  now  comes  from  a  coordinated  estate  plan.  It  is  in 
total  estate  stewardship  planning,  not  in  "getting  a  gift",  that  the  Foundation 
renders  the  greatest  service. 

The  "unfunded"  trust  simplified  planning  for  many  persons  in  the  past  year 
and  continues  to  provide  a  way  to  help  meet  the  objectives  of  many  stewards. 
The  trust  document  is  prepared  to  incorporate  the  provisions  of  the  trustors 
wishes.  It  will  not  take  effect,  however,  until  the  individual  is  deceased.  Then 
theirWill  provides  the  funding,  most  often  the  residual  estate  being  assigned 
to  the  trust,  hence  the  term  "unfunded".  The  individual  has  the  joy  of  having  a 
plan  in  place,  all  signed  and  legal. 

The  Baptist  Foundation  added  62  new  trust  funds  to  its  numbers  in  1987. 
Gifts  to  trust  increased  its  holdings  to  a  record  $14,452,258.  Trusts  already  in 
place  provided  $578,697  in  support  of  Baptist  causes.  As  important  as  these 
statistics  are,  a  significant  aspect  of  The  Baptist  Foundation  program  is  that  it 
provides  individuals,  such  as  Mrs.  Mercer,  with  an  avenue  for  continuing  their 
support  of  Christian  causes  beyond  their  lifetime. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
L.J.  Culler

HISTORY  OF  EDGEWOOD  BAPTIST  CHURCH 

1979  -  1989 

Edgewood  Baptist  Church  was  organized  on  September  23,  1893  under  the 
name  "Lovely  Baptist  Church."  The  church  was  renamed  "Edgewood  Missionary 
Baptist  Church"  on  October  7  of  that  same  year. 

A  wood  building  was  constructed  and  the  first  service  held  on  November  11, 
1893.  In  February  1894,  the  church  voted  to  join  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist 
Association. 

The  growth  of  the  church  made  it  necessary  to  construct  a  new  building.  A  brick 
structure  was  completed  in  1959. 

The  Sunday  School  has  shown  a  steady  growth.  In  1959  the  average  attendance 
was  55;  in  1 979  it  was  1 00,  and  in  1 986  was  1 30.  Church  membership  has  grown 
from  the  original  16  members  to  325  as  of  June  1987. 

A  beautiful  new  educational  building  was  dedicated  on  May  23,  1 982,  providing 
additional  classrooms  and  much  needed  space.  The  church  has  also  added  a  new 


-23- 


steeple,  a  front  porch,  and  an  additional  parking  lot.  A  new  multi-purpose  building 
was  completed  in  1988,  including  a  fellowship  hall  and  gymnasium. 
The  Reverend  Rex  Shumate  has  served  as  pastor  of  Edgewood  since  1977.

HISTORY  OF  ROARING  RIVER  BAPTIST  CHURCH 

1981  -  1989 

This  nine  year  period  of  history  has  been  an  active  and  beneficial  one  for  the 
church.  From  eighteen  charter  members  in  1908  the  membership  has  grown  to 
141 .  The  Sunday  School  is  graded  with  an  average  attendance  of  65  and  has  1 1 
regular  teachers.  The  church  has  an  active  missions  program  including  Brother- 
hood and  WMU  with  all  age  level  organizations.  It  has  experienced  a  steady  in- 
crease to  the  Cooperative  Program  (8%),  Association  (4%),  Lottie  Moon,  Annie 
Armstrong  and  State  Missions  in  giving. 

Pastors  serving  during  this  time  period  are  Rev.  William  Pardue,  1 978-1 983  and 
Rev.  Ronald  Gilbert  now  serving. 

The  Baptist  Foundation  of  NC  has  been  appointed  as  a  permanent  Trustee  for 
the  Church's  Trust  with  the  interest  from  it  being  distributed  semi-annually  to  six 
worthy  mission  causes.  This  leaves  the  church  self-supporting.  A  note  burning 
ceremony  was  celebrated  in  March  of  1988,  thus  leaving  the  church  free  of 
indebtedness. 

Improvements  experienced  are  renovation  of  the  parsonage,  purchase  of  a 
utility  building,  repaving  the  parking  lot,  recarpeting  the  outside  steps,  porches 
and  handicap  ramp,  providing  marked  parking  spaces  for  the  handicapped,  pur- 
chase of  copy  machine,  vinyl  covering  for  the  wooden  parts  of  the  church  including 
steeple,  insurance  increased  for  adequate  coverage  of  all  church  property  and 
cemetery  improvement:  gravestones  cleaned  and  aligned. 

The  value  of  church  property  has  increased  from  $5,000.00  in  1925  to 
$380,000.00  at  the  present  time.

Constitution 

PREAMBLE 

We,  the  Baptist  Churches  of  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association,  unite  ac- 
cording to  the  plan  and  for  the  purpose  and  work  of  New  Testament  churches 
in  our  world.  To  this  end  and  according  to  the  following  articles,  we  cooperate 
to  the  fullest  extent  possible  with  the  State  and  Southern  Baptist  Convention  and 
subscribe  to  the  principles  of  the  1963  Baptist  Faith  and  Message  statement. 

ARTICLE  I  —  NAME 

This  body  shall  be  known  as  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association  of  North 
Carolina. 

ARTICLE  II  —  PURPOSE 

It  shall  be  the  purpose  of  this  Association  to  consider  and  promote  measures 
for  increasing  the  harmony,  the  knowledge  and  the  spiritual  life  of  the  churches 
and  for  developing  and  directing  their  energies  and  their  contributions  in  the  ad- 
vancement of  Christ's  kingdom  throughout  the  earth,  always  in  harmony  with  the 
teachings  of  the  New  Testament.  This  Association  shall  be  an  auxiliary  of  the  North 
Carolina  Baptist  State  Convention  and  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  in  all  their 
missionary,  educational  and  benevolent  work. 

To  accomplish  this  purpose,  the  association  shall  seek  to:  (1)  enhance  the 
fellowship  among  member  churches;  (2)  present  the  Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  to 
everyone  in  our  area;  (3)  encourage  and  facilitate  church  growth  and  development 
and  provide  other  services  to  the  churches;  (4)  coordinate  mission  ministries  in 
our  area  and  promote  cooperation  in  state,  home  and  foreign  missions;  and,  (5) 
provide  an  additional  channel  by  which  member  churches  may  interact  with 
Southern  Baptist  agencies  and  institutions. 

ARTICLE  III  —  MEMBERSHIP 

SECTION  1.  The  Association  shall  be  composed  of  cooperating  Baptist  chur- 
ches desiring  to  affiliate  with  it.  Any  church  desiring  to  become  a  member  of  the 
Association  shall  present,  through  messengers  chosen  for  that  purpose,  its  re- 
quest for  membership  on  APPLICATION  FOR  MEMBERSHIP  form  provided  in 
the  minutes  along  with  a  UNIFORM  ASSOCIATIONAL  LETTER  provided  by  the 
clerk,  at  any  annual  session  of  the  body.  The  moderator  shall  refer  the  applica- 
tion to  the  Committee  on  Membership  for  study  and  investigation.  The  church  shall 
maintain  for  the  year  the  status  of  associate  membership  until  the  committee  makes 
its  recommendation.  If  favorable,  it  will  be  received  into  full  membership  with  all 
the  rights  and  privileges  at  the  next  annual  session.  If  the  Association  then  votes 
to  receive  the  church,  the  moderator  shall  extend  the  hand  of  fellowship  to  the 
messengers. 

SECTION  2.  The  Association  shall  be  sole  judge  of  its  membership  and  may 
receive  churches,  or  reject  churches,  according  to  its  Constitution  and  Bylaws. 
Member  churches  may  withdraw  from  the  Association  as  they  desire.  Any  church 
in  the  Association  which  fails  to  cooperate  with  the  Association  shall,  upon  the 
recommendation  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Association,  be  contacted  by 
the  Membership  Committee  to  determine  the  intentions  of  the  church  regarding 
its  remaining  in  the  Association. 

-25- 


A  cooperating  church  shall  be  defined  as  one  which  sends  an  annual  report 
to  the  Association  and  messengers  to  Associational  meetings,  and  contributes 
to  the  financial  program  of  the  Association. 

SECTION  3.  The  Association  shall  withdraw  fellowship  from  any  church  in  its 
membership  which  shall  be  found  to  be  disorderly  in  faith  and  practice,  but  not 
until  written  charges  are  brought  against  it,  which  charges  shall  have  been  author- 
ized by  the  official  act  of  the  church  offering  the  same,  or  by  the  Membership  Com- 
mittee of  the  Association.  Thereafter,  any  such  charges  shall  be  carefully  consid- 
ered by  the  Association  at  its  next  annual  session.

500  members  are  entitled  to  an  additional  messenger  for  each  1 00  members  more 
than  the  initial  500.  Messengers  shall  be  elected  annually  for  all  Associational 
meetings.  It  is  suggested  that  at  least  five  of  the  messengers  be  leaders  of  in-

END  OF  BUSINESS  SESSION 

7.  Moderator  Culler  recognized  Mr.  Harry  Sherwood  from  Wingate  College  as 
one  of  our  out  of  town  visitors. 

8.  Bill  asked  to  hear  from  the  churches  about  any  storm  damage  they  might 
have  incurred  from  Hugo  and  there  were  no  reports  of  damage.  He  extended  a 

-36- 


special  thanks  to  First  Baptist,  North  Wilkesboro  for  making  their  equipment 
available  to  us  while  our  electricity  was  out  for  the  printing  of  our  Book  of  Reports. 
9.  Ms.  Donna  Lail  of  the  Baptist  Children's  Homes  was  introduced  to  speak 
to  the  association.  She  stated  that  they  were  in  partnership  with  Caldwell  Social 
Services  with  two  new  homes  opened  -  Noel  House  and  Care  House.  These  homes 
are  not  only  for  Caldwell  County  but  they  do  have  first  choice.  She  stated  that 
their  Therapeutic  Camping  Program  for  troubled  boys  was  always  full.  All  Homes 
work  on  a  Peer  Group  Program.  Teenagers  help  each  other  with  guidance  from 
Christian  leaders.  The  Homes  work  hard  to  lead  the  child  to  Christ  because  they 
have  not  been  reared  in  Christian  homes.  She  asked  that  we  come  to  visit  and 
that  we  continue  to  give  financial  support. 

10.  Mr.  Harry  Sherwood  from  Wingate  College  was  introduced  to  give  a  report. 
Wingate  did  have  storm  damage  and  they  are  cleaning  up  and  had  no  injuries. 
Wingate  is  a  Baptist  College.  They  have  asked  for  a  name  change,  to  Cannon- 
Wingate  University.  Wingate  began  as  an  academy  then  became  a  two-year  col- 
lege, then  in  1977  became  a  four-year  college.  Mr.  Sherwood  stated  that  they  are 
located  in  the  fastest  growing  metropolitan  area  and  want  to  be  the  largest  Bap- 
tist College  in  the  area.  Why  Cannon-Wingate?  In  1953  Bud  Smith  came  and  it 
was  a  good  college  then  but  they  needed  more  money  to  operate  and  grow.  Dr. 
Smith  went  to  see  Mr.  Cannon  about  support.  Mr.  Cannon  gave  $100,000  with 
one  string  attached  -  that  Wingate  must  raise  $100,000  from  other  sources.  Mr. 
Cannon  gave  $12  million  in  his  life  time.  The  campus  has  a  $48.2  million  value. 
At  the  November  meeting  of  the  Baptist  State  Convention,  Wingate  is  going  to 
ask  that  the  name  be  changed  to  Cannon-Wingate  University. 

1 1 .  Moderator  Culler  called  attention  to  the  N.C.  Baptist  Foundation  Report  on 
page  36  of  the  Book  of  Reports  and  asked  that  everyone  take  time  to  read  it.  He 
summarized  the  report  and  urged  everyone  to  consider  leaving  something  in  their 
will  for  the  Foundation. 

12.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "Saviour  Like  a  Shepherd  Lead  Us"  led

companied by  Cindy  Deacon  at  the  piano. 

14.  Rev.  Bob  Seatz  of  Beaver  Creek  Baptist  Church  brought  the  message  of 
the  afternoon.  He  read  scripture  from  II  Corinthians  12:1-11.  The  theme  of  his  mes- 
sage was  "What  Kind  of  People  Are  We?"  Are  we  the  born-again  children  of  God? 
We  are  a  peculiar  people.  We  are  the  chosen  people.  We  are  chosen  individually 
to  do  an  individual  task  for  the  Lord.  He  stated  that  we  should  do  our  Father's 
Will  and  that  we  can  become  the  type  of  people  that  God  wants  us  to  be.  He 
ended  his  message  with  the  question,  "Can  we  find  ourselves  doing  God's  Will 
in  God's  Time?" 

15.  Rev.  Rex  Shumate  gave  instructions  for  the  evening  meal.

dar. The  Outreach  Workshop  has  been  rescheduled  for  Thursday,  October  26  at 
7:00  p.m.  at  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church.  He  urged  all  churches  to  use  all  of 
the  "Here's  Hope"  materials  and  to  participate  in  the  People  Search/Scripture 
Distribution.  (1)  identify  persons  not  in  Sunday  School,  (2)  Gather  information  about 
them,  and  (3)  Invite  them  to  church. 

23.  Director  of  Missions,  Bill  McKinney,  presented  the  associational  ASSIST 
Team  with  certificates  for  their  years  of  service. 

24.  The  Church  Training  Report  was  given  by  Glen  Efird.  He  stated  that  there 
was  not  a  lot  going  on  in  Church  Training  -  only  16  churches  in  the  association 
reported  any  Church  Training  on  the  Digest  of  Church  Letters.  He  stated  that 
Church  Training  trains  leaders  to  be  qualified  leaders  in  the  church.  He  suggested 
that  all  churches  have  a  training  class  for  all  new  Sunday  School  teachers,  deacons, 
and  church  workers. 

25.  The  WMU  Report  was  given  by  Mae  Duncan.  She  summarized  the  report 
on  page  23  and  made  a  correction  to  the  report  in  the  amount  sent  to  Mark  Partin 
and  also  that  Stony  Hill  started  a  BYW.  The  theme  for  the  coming  year  is  "In  His 
Name,  Reach,  Teach,  Touch".  On  October  8  from  3:00-5:00  p.m.  there  will  be 
a  Wilkes  Cares  truck  in  the  Oakwoods  parking  lot  for  everyone  to  bring  non- 
perishable  foods  t<f 'feed  the  hungry  of  the  world.  On  October  16  there  will  be  a 
"Lifestyle  Witnessing  Seminar"  at  Boiling  Springs  Baptist  Church  led  by  Betty 
Pardue.  November  8  will  be  Baptist  Women  Day  of  Prayer  at  12:00  p.m.  at  Hin- 
shaw Street  Baptist  Church.  Mae  thanked  all  who  helped  her  this  year  and  the 
pastors  of  the  association  for  their  support.  The  Associational  WMU  honored  Rev. 
Ron  Gilbert  as  "Pastor  of  the  Year".  This  was  the  first  year  for  this  award  and 
they  hope  to  continue  it  each  year. 

26.  The  Brotherhood  Report  was  given  by  John  German  on  page  25  of  the  Book 
of  Reports.  This  year  has  been  an  active  year  and  he  met  with  five  churches  this 
year. 

27.  The  Music  Report  was  given  by  Gregg  Wright.  He  stated  that  they  had  had 
a  good  Music  Workshop  and  that  they  would  be  forming  an  associational  choir 
this  year  to  do  a  concert  in  March. 

28.  Bill  presented  Gregg  with  a  Certificate  of  Achievement  from  the  Baptist  State 
Convention. 

29.  The  Associational  Strategy  Planning  Report  was  given  by  Bill  in  the  absence 
of  Welton  Seal.  He  stated  that  we  have  done  well  in  many  respects  but  not  in  others. 
He  also  went  over  the  Digest  of  Church  Letters.  Overall  the  figures  were  flat  -  we 
did  a  lot  of  stuff  but  did  not  gain  a  lot  of  people. 

30.  Rev.  Ken  Jones  announced  the  Evangelism  Conference  on  October  23  and 
24  at  Millers  Creek  Baptist  Church.  The  four  speakers  will  be  Vick  Cole,  Wesley 
Grant,  Ron  Barker  and  Raymond  Williams.

31 .  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "I  Am  Thine,  O  Lord"  led  by  Gregg  Wright 
accompanied  by  Cindy  Deacon  at  the  piano  and  Sue  Shumate  at  the  organ. 

32.  Special  music  was  presented  by  the  Hawkins  Family  Quartet  (Sam,  Angela, 
Rebecca  and  Daniel)  who  sang  "He  Is  Risen". 

33.  R.  G.  Puckett,  editor  of  the  Biblical  Recorder,  gave  the  Biblical  Recorder 
Report.  He  read  scripture  from  Acts  2  and  quoted  Bill's  statement  from  his  Direc- 
tor of  Missions  Report,  "Far-reaching  changes  are  taking  place  in  our  society  at 
large  and  these  present  great  challenges  to  all  of  us  as  individuals  and  as  chur- 
ches. We  shall  not  be  able  to  respond  adequately  to  these  changes  and  challenges 
with  a  'business  as  usual'  philosophy."  The  Biblical  Recorder  began  in  1835  and 
is  the  fourth  oldest  Baptist  paper  in  the  state.  "The  Front  line  of  the  Baptist  work 
is  in  the  local  church." 

34.  In  the  absence  of  Alex  Booth,  Jim  Gore  gave  the  Fruitland  Baptist  Bible 
Institute  Report  and  reported  that  Thursday,  October  5  is  Alumni  Day  and  also 
that  the  new  President  of  Fruitland  is  Mack  Roberts. 

35.  The  Christian  Action  League  Report  was  given  by  Joe  S.  Lennon.  He  stressed 
that  the  lottery  needs  to  be  kept  out  of  North  Carolina.  "Lottery  is  sin".  A  Bill  stating 
"The  people  should  have  a  right  to  vote  whether  they  want  a  lottery"  has  passed 
the  Senate.  House  Bill  1231  "Abortion  Control  Act"  has  been  introduced  into  the 
House.  House  Bill  93  "Consent  for  a  minor's  abortion"  has  also  been  introduced. 
House  Bill  964  "Schools  teach  abstinence"  has  passed  the  House  and  is  before 
the  Senate.  Alcohol  is  the  number  one  drug  problem  in  America.  One  out  of  every 
ten  who  drink  will  become  addicted. 

36.  The  congregation  stood  and  greeted  each  other  while  the  Hawkins  Family 
got  ready  to  sing.  They  sang  "Son,  Go  Bring  My  Children  Home". 

37.  Rev.  Rex  Foster  of  Fishing  Creek  Baptist  Church  brought  the  evening 
message.  He  read  scripture  from  Revelations  1:9,  10,  11,  17  and  18  and  stated 
that  we  cannot  witness  to  or  in  Wilkes  County  or  anywhere  else  if  we  are  not  in 
the  spirit.  The  theme  of  his  message  was  "Being  in  the  Spirit".  "How  do  you  know 
you  are  in  the  Spirit?"  "When  you  are  in  the  Spirit,  you  will  see  and  hear  Jesus." 

38.  The  benediction  was  given  by  Rev.  Wayne  Osborne  of  Boiling  Springs  Bap- 
tist Church. 

39.  Moderator  Culler  adjourned  the  meeting  at  9:15  p.m. 

SECOND  DAY 

40.  The  second  day  of  the  118th  Annual  Meeting  was  called  to  order  by 
Moderator  L.  J.  Culler  at  7:00  p.m.  on  October  3,  1989  at  Roaring  River  Baptist 
Church. 

41.  Rev.  Ron  Gilbert  of  Roaring  River  Baptist  Church  welcomed  the  138 
messengers  and  visitors  representing  30  churches.

North  Wilkesboro. 

44.  Special  music  was  presented  by  Mrs.  D.  R.  Goodnow  accompanied  by  Gregg 
Wright  at  the  organ. 


-39- 


45.  Rev.  J.  W.  Hutchens  of  the  Baptist  State  Convention  brought  the  message 
of  the  evening.  He  introduced  a  guest  that  was  with  him,  John  Herrington,  Direc- 
tor of  Missions  and  Director  of  Evangelism  in  Wyoming.  Rev.  Hutchens'  message 
was  based  on  "Here's  Hope.  Jesus  Cares  For  You".  He  read  scripture  from  1 
Peter  3:15  and  led  in  prayer.  He  brought  out  seven  points: 

(1)  God's  definition  -  you  have  a  call,  place  and  purpose 

(2)  How  we  feel  about  people  -  we  have  to  have  a  feeling  for  lost  people 

(3)  We  have  to  recognize  that  we  need  to  be  team  members,  not  lone  rangers 

(4)  We  need  to  be  church  centered  and  community  committed 

(5)  We  need  to  be  evangelistic  in  purpose  and  compassionate  in  commitment 

(6)  We  need  to  be  biblically  informative  and  spiritually  energized 

(7)  Inspire  longevity  and  know  how  to  dream  the  dream 
Rev.  Hutchens  closed  his  message  with  a  prayer. 

46.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "Open  My  Eyes  That  I  May  See"  led 
by  Mrs.  D.  R.  Goodnow  accompanied  by  Gregg  Wright  at  the  organ. 

47.  Moderator  Culler  welcomed  the  new  pastor  of  Mt.  Pleasant  Baptist  Church, 
Rev.  Ricky  Dale  Speas,  and  gave  him  the  right  hand  of  full  fellowship.  Moderator 
Culler  also  recognized  Rev.  R.A.  Call  who  is  recovering  from  heart  surgery. 

BUSINESS  SESSION 

A.  Rev.  Horace  Moree  read  the  constitutional  changes  on  page  22  of  the  Book 
of  Reports,  Article  X,  Bylaw  III,  Section  17  and  Section  18.  Rev.  Moree 
moved  the  adoption  of  this  report,  seconded,  voted  on  (approx.  90%)  and 
adopted. 

B.  Director  of  Missions,  Bill  McKinney,  gave  his  report  on  the  previous  night 
and  used  this  time  to  bring  a  brief  message.  He  read  scripture  from  Gala- 
tians  1:6-12  and  the  theme  of  his  message  was  "Why  we  need  'Here's  Hope' 
revival"  and  the  title  of  his  message  was  "This  Is  The  Lord  That  The  Day 
Hath  Made".  There  has  been  a  major  change  in  the  way  people  conceive 
of  God  -  gross  misconception  prevails. 

(1)  7  out  of  10  believe  Jesus  is  God/Son  of  God 

(2)  6  out  of  10  attended  church  as  a  child,  8  out  of  ten  cite  some  church 
preference 

(3)  6  out  of  10  believe  the  Bible  to  be  inspired  by  God 

(4)  8  out  of  10  say  they  sometimes  pray  to  God 

(5)  79%  of  the  churched  say  religion  is  at  least  fairly  important  in  their  lives 

(6)  Only  30%  of  unchurched  say  religion  is  unimportant 

The  Lord  this  day  has  made: 

(1)  Is  uninvolved  in  the  operation  of  the  universe.  While  we  are  dependent  in 
many  areas,  we  are  not  aware  of  being  dependent  upon  God ...  we  are 
a  "I'd  rather  do  it  for  myself"  generation. 

(2)  Winks  at  sin;  ignores  immoral  conduct,  just  "recommends"  purity  (author 
of  the  "Ten  Suggestions"). 

(3)  Makes  no  demands,  requires  no  commitments,  asks  no  sacrifices,  ex- 
acts no  penalties. 

(4)  Can  be  regarded  as  "buddy"  -  just  a  larger-than-life  brother/sister/friend 
-  no  AWE. 

(5)  Acts  like  some  sort  of  cosmic  Santa  Claus  -  responsible  for  seeing  to  our 
wants,  providing  pleasures,  enjoyments. 

-40- 


(6)  Forgives  without  repentance  -  unconcerned  for  moral  purity;  condones 
greed,  prejudice,  materialism,  sloth .  .  .  has  forgotten  the  "seven  deadly 
sins". 

(7)  Can  be  manipulated  like  a  puppet  -  is  stupid  enough  not  to  see  through 
our  schemes  and  games. 

We  don't  know  the  difference  between  spiritual  and  emotional  stimula- 
tion .  .  .  crave  excitement.  Nine  out  of  ten  unchurched  believe  a  person  can 
be  a  good  Christian  without  attending  church.  Two  out  of  three  churched 
persons  feel  the  same  way.  We  are  not  going  to  make  much  impact  upon 
our  communities  until  we  rediscover  the  God  of  the  Bible,  .the 
CREATOR/REDEEMER  God. 

C.  Rev.  Al  Andrews  announced  that  due  to  Hugo  Wilkes  County  has  been 
declared  a  disaster  area  and  there  will  be  a  disaster  relief  center  set  up 
at  the  Woodlawn  Community  Center  on  October  5,  6  and  7  from  9:00  a.m. 
to  7:00  p.m.  each  day.  They  need  help  staffing  the  center  and  would  like 
to  have  two  laypersons  and  one  clergyman  on  duty  at  all  times.  Training 
will  be  on  Wednesday,  October  4  at  the  United  Methodist  Church  in 
Wilkesboro.  If  you  have  any  questions,  you  can  call  Olin  Eisenhour  at 
667-5401 . 

D.  Rev.  Al  Andrews  gave  the  Resolutions  Committee  Report  as  follows: 

Whereas,  Edgewood  Baptist  Church  and  the  Roaring  River  Baptist  Church 
so  graciously  and  bountifully  shared  their  facilities  and  food  with  those 
gathered  for  the  118th  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Associational  Annual 
Meeting,  Be  it  resolved  that  the  association  express  our  grateful  apprecia- 
tion to  the  families  of  these  two  churches. 

E.  The  Memorials  Committee  Report  was  given  by  Mr.  D.  F.  Beshears.  There 
was  a  total  of  113  deaths. 

END  OF  BUSINESS  SESSION 

48.  Moderator  Culler  thanked  everyone  and  stated  that  Rev.  Jimmy  Hubbard 
is  away  in  revival  and  cannot  receive  the  gavel  from  Moderator  Culler,  so  he  left 
the  gavel  with  Bill. 

49.  Rev.  Horace  Moree  stated  that  he  has  known  L.  J.  Culler  for  35  years  and 
that  Rev.  Culler  has  served  very  well  as  Moderator  and  is  now  retired  from  the 
pastorate  and  that  we  may  not  be  seeing  a  lot  of  him  and  suggested  that  we  give 
Rev.  Culler  a  round  of  applause  and  so  we  did.  Rev.  Culler  once  again  thanked 
everyone. 

50.  Rev.  Ken  Jones  of  Welcome  Home  Baptist  Church  gave  the  benediction 
and  the  meeting  was  adjourned  at  8:30  p.m.

We  had  a  total  of  twenty-eight  honor  clerks  out  of  forty-one  church  clerks.  These 
clerks  had  their  church  letter  into  the  associational  office  by  the  deadline  date  with 
every  blank  filled,  all  totals  correct,  and  all  dollar  figures  rounded  to  the  nearest 
dollar.  Each  of  these  clerks  will  be  receiving  a  Certificate  of  Recognition  and  have 
their  name  printed  in  the  associational  minutes.  Their  accuracy  and  promptness 
makes  my  job  so  much  easier.  I  want  to  say  to  each  honor  clerk  how  much  I  ap- 
preciate the  great  job  they  did.  I  hope  that  this  list  will  grow  longer  each  year  until 
we  have  forty-one  honor  clerks. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Teresa  H.  Taylor 

Associational  Clerk

DIRECTOR  OF  MISSIONS  REPORT 

Our  programs  of  activity  as  an  association  during  the  year  1988-89  have  been 
those  which  emerged  as  priorities  in  our  Associational  Strategy  Planning  report 
which  was  adopted  in  the  January  1988  quarterly  meeting.  Some  of  the  highlights 
of  our  1988-89  year  were: 

1 .  We  held  the  first  semi-annual  pastor/deacon/spouse  fellowship.  This  activi- 
ty was  effective  and  enjoyable.  The  second  such  fellowship  is  being  plan- 
ned for  a  date  later  this  year. 

2.  Plans  for  evangelistic  outreach  are  underway  and  we  pray  that  much  will 
be  accomplished  to  the  glory  of  God.  People  Search/Scripture  Distribution 
is  being  prepared  by  several  of  our  churches.  An  associational  evangelism 

-53- 


conference  is  planned  for  October  23-24.  Simultaneous  Revivals  in  April  1990 
will  be  encouraged  and  promoted  by  our  excellent  Evangelism  Committee. 
What  remains  to  be  done  is  spiritual  preparation  in  all  of  our  churches  through 
fervent  prayer  and  active  prospect  identification/cultivation. 

3.  Interest  in  mission  outreach  has  been  encouraged.  Several  of  our  churches 
have  participated  in  mission  projects  in  this  state  and  in  other  states. 

4.  Stewardship  will  be  emphasized  during  1990  with  a  workshop  featuring  The 
Witnessing-Giving  Life. 

5.  Mission  project  work  in  association  with  state  convention  commitments 
resulted  in  an  8-person  evangelism  team  ministering  in  Brazil.  The  result  of 
that  two-week  effort  was  around  200  firm  decisions  for  salvation  in  Barretos 
and  Franca.  Our  commitments  to  mission  efforts  in  West  Virginia  have  been 
maintained.  We  have  assisted  Mark  Partin  in  his  new  work  at  St.  Albans  as 
well  as  continuing  to  undergird  the  West  Union  Southern  Baptist  Chapel 
ministry.  That  church  has  just  received  a  new  pastor  and  appears  to  be  do- 
ing well.  The  1989-90  year  will  fulfill  our  five-year  financial  commitment  to 
that  work. 

6.  The  distribution  of  our  Ministry  Reserve  Account  was  completed.  The  Foreign 
Missions  portion  of  that  distribution  made  possible  the  purchase  of  one  church 
site  in  Franca  and  one  church  site  near  Barretos.  Congregations  are  being 
developed  on  those  sites  and  many  are  being  saved. 

7.  A  very  successful  World  Missions  Revival  was  held  with  twenty  churches 
participating. 

8.  Office  and  properties  upgrading  were  made  possible  by  funds  set  aside  in 
the  Ministry  Reserve  Fund  distribution.  The  associational  parsonage  received 
a  new  roof  and  interior  renovations.  A  small  computer  has  been  installed 
in  the  associational  office.  This  equipment  is  of  significant  help  to  associa- 
tional staff.  The  Associational  parking  lot  received  a  new  surface  and  the 
drainage  problem  was  addressed. 

There  is  much  to  be  done  in  Brushy  Mountain  Association.  Far-reaching  changes 
are  taking  place  in  our  society  at  large  and  these  present  great  challenges  to  all 
of  us  as  individuals  and  as  churches.  We  shall  not  be  able  to  respond  adequately 
to  these  changes  and  challenges  with  a  "business  as  usual"  philosophy.  Indeed, 
extraordinary  efforts  on  our  part  will  be  necessary  just  to  "stay  even"  with  where 
we  have  been.  We  are  even  now  experiencing  a  major  restructuring  of  religious 
life  in  our  nation  and  here  in  our  communities.  Extraordinary  challenges  must  be 
met  with  extraordinary  prayers  and  extraordinary  commitment  to  the  doing  of  God's 
will.  It  will  not  be  easy  but,  if  we  respond  appropriately,  the  Lord's  blessing  and 
resources  will  enable  us  together  to  glorify  the  matchless  Name  of  our  Lord  even 
in  this  day.  As  I  enter  upon  the  fourteenth  year  of  my  service  among  you,  I  pledge 
you  my  best  efforts  and  my  continual  prayers.

DEDICATION  OF  ANNUALS  COMMITTEE  REPORT 

On  May  5,  1989  a  meeting  was  held  at  Gordon  Baptist  Church  to  discuss  and 
decide  who  would  be  recommended  to  the  association  to  be  honored  in  the  1989 
annual  of  the  Brushy  Mountain  Association. 

-54- 


After  much  discussion  the  committee  unanimously  decided  that  two  (2)  people 
should  be  recommended  and  that  the  committee  would  also  recommend  that  future 
committees  consider  honoring  two  (2)  people  each  year.  After  discussion  of  ap- 
proximately twenty  (20)  to  twenty-five  (25)  names  which  were  presented  by  various 
members  of  the  committee,  a  motion  was  made  and  seconded  that  the  Reverend 
Mr.  Earl  Adams  be  one  of  those  recommended.  This  was  passed  unanimously. 
Rena  Spicer  made  a  motion,  seconded  by  James  Weaver,  that  the  Reverend  Mr. 
Robert  Andrew  Call  be  the  other  person  honored  in  the  1989  annual  and  this  mo- 
tion carried.  Conley  Call  abstained  from  voting  since  he  was  the  nephew  of  Mr.  Call. 

Rena  Spicer  then  made  a  motion  that  Conley  Call  be  appointed  to  gather  some 
preliminary  information  on  the  Reverend  Mr.  Earl  Adams  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Robert 
Andrew  Call  to  present  to  the  association  by  around  August  1 ,  1989  or  when  Mr. 
Weaver  was  called  on  to  furnish  this  information. 

It  was  agreed  upon  by  the  committee  that  the  above  notes  would  be  made  without 
asking  Mr.  Adams  or  Mr.  Call  for  any  information  and  that  after  it  has  become 
public  that  they  are  to  be  honored  in  the  1989  annual  that  they  can  submit  a  pic- 
ture and  make  any  changes  in  the  write-up  that  they  wish. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Rev.  James  Weaver,  Chairman

BRAZIL  PARTNERSHIP  REPORT 

1 989  has  proved  a  very  productive  year  in  the  North  Carolina-Sao  Paulo,  Brazil 
Partnerships.  Our  association  is  very  much  involved  with  the  cities  of  Barretos 
and  Franca.  A  team  of  seven  people  (Buddy  Moore,  Jack  and  Gail  Calloway,  Ken 
Jones  and  Alicia,  Jim  and  Becky  Gore)  went  to  Brazil  on  May  4  and  returned  May 
17.  All  of  the  team  members,  except  the  Gores,  worked  in  the  City  of  Franca. 
Conservative  estimate  of  salvation  decisions  is  175.  Other  decisions  were  made 
in  our  churches  during  this  evangelistic  crusade. 

The  Brushy  Mountain  Association  had  provided  the  Sao  Paulo  Convention  with 
$5,690  to  purchase  a  lot  in  Barretos  for  a  mission.  The  approximately  one-half 
acre  lot  was  purchased  and  a  small  building  was  completed  the  latter  part  of  April, 
of  this  year.  Upon  arrival  in  early  May,  we  discovered  much  growth  in  that  mis- 
sion from  a  year  earlier.  The  building  is  already  full  and  the  First  Baptist  Church 
of  Barretos,  the  sponsoring  church,  is  working  diligently  in  the  area  of  evangelism 
and  discipleship  in  this  mission.  The  prospects  for  this  mission,  named  Villa 
America,  is  that  the  growth  will  exceed  that  of  the  mother  church  within  several 
years. 

Money  was  also  provided  to  the  Second  Baptist  Church  in  the  City  of  Franca 
for  a  complete  PA  system  on  the  pastor's  car  for  evangelistic  purposes  and  also, 
some  $1 ,310  was  provided  to  the  association  for  a  down  payment  on  a  lot  for  a 
mission  in  the  city,  in  the  general  area  of  Franca. 

This  was  my  second  trip  to  Brazil.  In  addition  to  those  who  were  saved  this  year, 
the  most  encouraging  thing  that  I  witnessed  was  the  tremendous  personal  involve- 
ment of  people  who  made  Professions  of  Faith  in  1988.  The  Brazilian  churches 
do  a  marvelous  job  in  new  member  training  and  discipleship,  and  getting  their 
people  involved  at  some  level  of  service. 

-55- 


I  do  hope  you  will  continue  to  pray  and  to  provide  the  resources  for  those  team 
members  from  the  Brushy  Mountain  Association  who  will  be  going  to  Brazil  in  1990. 
There  is  a  great  work  going  on  there  and  I  truly  hope  that  every  church  in  our 
association  will  have  a  part  in  this  partnership  before  it  ends  in  1992.  The  expense 
involved  is  nothing  compared  to  the  souls  that  are  saved  and  the  enthusiasm  that 
is  received  for  those  who  go.  If  someone  goes  from  your  church,  they  will  come 
back  and  be  a  blessing  to  you.  God  bless  you  as  you  pray  about  giving  and  going. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
Jim  Gore,  Brazil  Partnership  Chairman 


EVANGELISM  REPORT 

HERE'S  HOPE,  JESUS  CARES  FOR  YOU!  The  preceding  is  a  great  message 
and  the  theme  for  our  Convention's  1990  Simultaneous  Revivals  that  will  happen 
this  spring  in  our  association  and  all  across  America.  I  trust  that  each  church  will 
have  a  part  in  this  great  event.  Soul-winning  is  the  very  thing  the  church  exists 
for  and  when  we  are  too  busy  to  be  involved  in  evangelism  and  missions  we  are 
too  busy! 

I  trust  that  every  church  is  involved  in  the  People  Search/Scripture  Distribution 
this  fall.  We  can't  win  them  if  we  don't  know  who  and  where  they  are.  In  two  Sun- 
day afternoons  most  churches  can  complete  this  important  part  of  "Here's  Hope, 
Jesus  Cares  For  You." 

October  23  and  24  are  two  important  days  for  our  association.  We  will  be  hav- 
ing our  first  Associational  Evangelism  Conference.  It  will  be  held  at  Millers  Creek 
Baptist  Church  on  those  dates  beginning  at  7:00  p.m.  We  have  four  great  speakers 
and  choirs  and  are  expecting  a  great  time  in  the  Lord. 

Pastors  will  be  trained  in  Here's  Hope  in  the  fall  Regional  Evangelism  Conference 
which  is  in  Boone  on  October  4  for  our  association.  Be  sure  to  mark  this  on  your 
calendar  and  be  there.  Many  of  our  pastors  miss  a  great  opportunity  when  they 
fail  to  schedule  this  on  their  calendars. 

The  Statewide  Youth  Evangelism  Conference  was  held  at  Carowinds  this  year 
on  July  28  with  over  18,000  enrolled  who  bought  tickets  for  this  "Super  Summer" 
event.  At  this  writing  this  event  has  not  taken  place  yet,  but  we  are  praying  for 
a  great  harvest  of  young  souls  in  the  two  worship  services  that  are  scheduled. 

I  just  want  to  encourage  each  church  to  elect  an  Evangelism  Committee  and 
Chairman  so  that  we  might  plan  an  ongoing  evangelism  program  in  our  churches 
and  association. 

Let  me  ask  each  of  you  for  prayer  for  our  Evangelism  Committee  and  our  work. 
We  are  here  to  serve  you  and  assist  you  in  your  evangelism  efforts.

Ron  Gilbert,  Evangelism  Director

SCHOOL  OF  CHRISTIAN  STUDIES  REPORT 

Please  consult  the  Associational  Annuals  for  1981  and  1982  concerning  infor- 
mation of  introduction  pertaining  to  Seminary  Extension  Programs  throughout  the 
United  States  and  North  Carolina.  North  Carolina  continues  to  lead  all  our  states 
in  Seminary  Extension  Programs. 

Last  fall  we  offered  one  course  of  study  in  the  THEOLOGICAL-HISTORICAL 
AREA  -  CH  0210  -  "Life  and  Faith  of  Baptists."  This  course  introduces  the  stu- 
dent to  some  phases  of  Baptist  history  so  that  he/she  will  have  a  better  understand- 
ing of  our  Baptist  heritage.  (Consult  the  1988  Annual  for  further  information,  p. 
55).  This  course  was  taught  by  Dr.  John  T.  Wayland.  Nine  persons  were  enrolled 
in  this  study. 

This  past  Winter-Spring  we  offered  a  new  college-level  course  of  study  in  the 
PRACTICAL  AREA  -  PB  0300  -  "Clinical  Pastoral  Training."  This  course  is  de- 
signed to  provide  the  skills  necessary  for  effective  hospital  ministry.  Clinical  exer- 
cises were  included  in  this  30-hour  schedule.  (Consult  the  1988  Annual  for  fur- 
ther information,  p.  55).  This  course  was  taught  by  Steve  Duncan.  Ten  persons 
were  enrolled  in  this  course. 

We  will  not  be  offering  a  course  of  study  this  fall  due  to  our  churches  making 
preparation  for  the  "Here's  Hope"  Revivals  coming  next  spring. 

This  coming  year  (January  9  -  March  6)  we  are  offering  a  course  in  the  BIBLICAL 
AREA  -  NT  0185  -  "Hebrews."  This  is  a  college-level  course  which  will  accom- 
modate those  in  the  Diploma  Curriculum.  However,  you  may  still  enrol  in  the  study 
even  if  you  will  not  be  taking  it  for  credit.  The  textbooks  for  this  study  are:  Hebrews 
by  Dr.  Herschell  H.  Hobbs  and  No  Easy  Salvation  by  R.E.  Glaze.  The  cost  is  $25.95 
($8.95  for  the  textbooks  and  $17.00  for  tuition). 

Our  place  of  meeting  will  be  at  our  Association  Office.  We  will  begin  Tuesday 
evening  January  9  and  meet  nine  consecutive  Tuesdays  concluding  March  6,  1990. 
We  will  begin  our  meeting  at  7:00  p.m.  and  conclude  at  9:00  p.m.  each  evening. 
The  course  will  be  taught  by  W.  Paul  Shoupe.

GENERAL  BOARD  REPORT 

I  will  finish  my  four  year  term  and  a  new  member  will  be  elected  at  our  State 
Convention  in  November  of  this  year.  This  has  been  both  educational  and  enjoyable 
to  me  and  I  am  glad  I  was  given  the  opportunity  to  serve  you.  I  have  been  a  member 
of  the  Council  on  Christian  Higher  Education  and  served  this  year  as  the  vice- 

-57- 


president  of  that  committee.  We  have  four  meetings  a  year  with  two  of  them  at 
CaRAway  and  two  at  Baptist  Institutions.  This  year  we  met  at  Meredith  College 
and  at  Caswell  Baptist  Assembly.  We  have  had  several  things  of  a  sensitive  nature 
to  deal  with  and  they  were  and  are  the  name  change  to  Wingate  College  which 
I  have  opposed  and  to  the  set  up  of  a  divinity  school  on  the  Wake  Forest  Universi- 
ty Campus.  I  have  not  endorsed  that  project  either  nor  do  I  support  it  as  yet.  The 
other  thing  that  is  taking  a  lot  of  time  is  the  proposal  by  Campbell  University  that 
it  be  given  half  of  outstanding  funds  given  to  our  Colleges  and  Universities  and 
that  the  remaining  half  be  given  to  the  remaining  five  schools.  When  this  was  first 
brought  up,  we  rejected  it  but  now  we  are  faced  with  a  professional  organization 
from  Florida  making  a  new  recommendation  and  I  must  attend  a  special  interview 
and  meeting  with  their  people  on  Wednesday  October  4th  next.  It  will  not  be  an 
easy  meeting  nor  will  the  answer  be  given  until  our  annual  convention  in  Greens- 
boro. I  hope  to  be  there  as  a  messenger  and  exit  as  a  board  member  then.

FRUITLAND  BAPTIST  BIBLE  INSTITUTE  REPORT 

Fruitland  Baptist  Bible  Institute,  an  agency  of  the  General  Board  of  the  Baptist 
State  Convention,  provides  training  for  adults  called  to  church  related  vocations. 
There  are  approximately  130  students  enrolled.  The  average  age  of  students  is 
about  thirty-seven. 

In  an  effort  to  reach  the  people  who  need  Fruitland  most,  the  school  now  offers 
a  full  first  quarter  scholarship  to  pastors  of  small  Baptist  churches  in  North  Carolina 
who  apply  for  the  winter,  spring,  or  summer  quarters.  The  scholarship  covers  the 
cost  of  tuition,  room  and  board  for  the  initial  quarter. 

For  counseling  prospective  students,  full  information  on  the  school  has  been 
provided  for  every  pastor  in  the  Baptist  State  Convention.  Each  Baptist  Associa- 
tion in  North  Carolina  has  a  video  tape  which  is  available  to  churches  and  interested 
groups. 

With  support  through  the  Cooperative  Program  and  generous  giving  by  Friends 
of  Fruitland,  the  school  is  in  the  best  financial  condition  in  its  history.  School 
facilities  are  modern  and  well  equipped  with  a  value  of  more  than  four  million 
dollars.  Each  of  the  twenty-five  faculty  members  teaches  four  hours  per  week  of 
school  in  one  field.  The  president  of  Fruitland  has  announced  retirement  at  the 
age  of  sixty-five  (October  24,  1989).

WOMAN'S  MISSIONARY  UNION  REPORT 

"A  Future  to  Fulfill,  Launching  Century  2"  began  September  19,  1988  with  an 
Associational  W.M.U.  Leadership  Conference  at  Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church 
for  training  leaders  in  all  age  levels. 

October  28-30, 1988  several  attended  the  Mission  Education  Weekend  at  Ridge- 
crest  Conference  Center. 

Our  Foreign  Mission  Study  was  held  on  December  1 ,  1988  at  Millers  Creek  Bap- 
tist Church.  Around  100  people  were  present.  John  and  Doris  McGee,  retired  mis- 
sionaries from  Nigeria,  now  living  in  Hendersonville,  NC  led  in  this  study.  They 
showed  slides  and  gave  an  excellent  report  on  their  work  in  Nigeria.

31  and  April  1,  1989  with  twelve  from  Brushy  Mountain  Association  attending. 

The  Brushy  Mountain  W.M.U.  Annual  Meeting  was  held  at  Hinshaw  Street  Bap- 
tist Church  on  May  2,  1989.  Dr.  William  McKinney  installed  the  new  officers  for 
1989-1990  with  an  impressive  service.  Recognition  for  outstanding  accomplish- 
ments were  given  to  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church,  Moravian  Falls  Baptist  Church, 
Hinshaw  Street  Baptist  Church  and  Mt.  Pleasant  Baptist  Church.  A  play  written 
by  Martha  Colwell  "20/20  Vision"  was  given  by  several  of  our  Acteens. 

An  Associational  G.A.  Fun  Time  was  held  on  June  2,  1989  at  Moravian  Falls 
Baptist  Church.  Hotdogs  and  hamburgers  with  all  the  trimmings  was  enjoyed  by 
all.  The  New  Life  Ministries  gave  a  spiritual  program  in  song. 

The  Acteens  Summer  Serendipity  with  a  Spaghetti  Supper  was  held  at  Mora-

on  May  23,  1989.  Max  and  Joan  Furr,  missionaries  from  Peru  gave  an  interesting 
program  on  their  work  in  Peru.  Refreshments  from  Peru  were  enjoyed  by  all. 

The  Baptist  Women  Retreat  was  really  a  fun  time  as  we  learned.  Martha  Col- 
well led  in  a  "Wheel  of  Fortune"  game  with  questions  concerning  Woman's  Mis- 
sionary Union. 

On  August  27,  1 989  at  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church,  C.H.  and  Patricia  Frazier  from 
Greensboro,  NC  presented  a  monologue  on  Miss  Fannie  Exile  Scudder  Heck. 
Everyone  caught  a  glimpse  of  the  vision  which  Miss  Heck  had  of  and  for  missions. 

For  our  Mission  Action  Projects  we  filled  Wilkes  Cares  Truck  with  all  kinds  of 
nonperishable  goods  for  the  hungry  people  of  the  world.  We  sent  84  books  of 
stamps  for  the  Christmas  package  for  the  NC  Correctional  Center  for  Women. 
We  participated  again  in  the  "Karts  for  Kids"  sponsored  by  Food  Lion  where  they

We  sent  $493.25  to  Mark  Partin  of  West  Virginia  to  purchase  Soul  Winning 
Testaments.  We  were  happy  to  be  a  part  of  the  World  Missions  Revival.  We 
prepared  a  meal  each  night  for  the  mission  team  and  visiting  speakers.

Zion  Hill  Baptist  Church  started  Woman's  Missionary  Union  with  Baptist  Women, 
Acteens,  G.A.'s  and  Mission  Friends  Organizations. 

We  have  been  busy  this  year  and  feel  Century  2  has  gotten  off  to  a  great  start 
in  our  association.  My  special  thanks  to  all  of  you  for  your  love,  prayers  and  sup-

FOREIGN  MISSION  REPORT 

As  we  end  the  1980's,  we  begin  the  last  ten  years  of  our  BOLD  MISSIONS 
THRUST. 

The  Brushy  Mountain  Association  has  come  to  life  in  Foreign  Missions'  work 
during  the  past  year.  We  have  had  a  team  of  volunteers  from  Welcome  Home 
to  go  to  Jamaica  to  help  with  construction  work  and  witnessing  after  the  destruc- 
tive Hurricane  last  fall.  Our  many  thanks  and  our  appreciation  goes  to  this  team. 

Our  Partnership  with  Brazil  is  off  to  a  great  start.  In  May  we  had  a  team  of  seven 
volunteers  from  our  association  to  go  to  Sao  Paulo  for  two  weeks  to  do  evangelistic 
work. 

We  now  have  3,850  missionaries  assigned  to  1 16  countries,  which  is  still  some 
1,150  short  of  our  Bold  Mission  Goal.  The  volunteers  goal  of  10,000  has  been 
met  and  has  now  been  increased  to  20,000.  So,  there  is  still  lots  of  time  before 
the  year  2,000,  but  there  are  many  countries  to  serve  and  spread  the  "Good  News" 
of  Jesus.  The  hardest  part  of  any  missions'  trip  is  to  say  YES.  Let  us  hear  from 
you  or  your  church. 

Asante  sana, 
Carlos  Pardue 

BROTHERHOOD  REPORT 

The  Brotherhood  had  a  very  active  year  during  1988-89.  Representatives  from 
Wilkesboro,  Baptist  Home,  Moravian  Falls,  Gordon,  and  Zion  Hill  participated  in 
the  Racetrack  Ministries  Program  either  at  the  September  or  at  the  April  races. 
In  October,  twenty-three  men  from  local  church  Brotherhood  groups  met  with 
Brotherhood  groups  from  the  Stony  Fork  Baptist  Association  for  a  leadership  train- 
ing program,  which  was  sponsored  by  the  State  Convention.  Men's  groups  from 
four  churches  met  with  the  Associational  Brotherhood  Director  to  organize  a 
Brotherhood,  these  churches  were  Hinshaw  Street,  Oakwoods,  Stony  Hill, 
Welcome  Home  and  Zion  Hill. 

Several  activities  were  conducted  by  the  Brotherhood  which  included:  providing 
wood  or  fuel  for  the  needy;  completing  minor  construction  projects  for  church 
members;  and  providing  leadership  for  youth  activities.  The  most  notable  activity 
of  any  Brotherhood  was  the  missions  activity  to  a  small  town  in  Jamaica  by  the 
Welcome  Home  Brotherhood.  This  trip  of  twelve  Brotherhood  members  was  for 
the  reconstruction  of  a  church  and  related  buildings  after  tropical  storm  damage. 
These  men  participated  in  carpentry  work,  Bible  studies,  and  personal  witness- 
ing. The  Lord's  work  was  tremendously  enhanced  by  the  efforts  of  these  men.

PROPERTIES  COMMITTEE  REPORT 

The  special  allocation  of  funds  for  capital  improvements  provided  at  our  1988 
Annual  Meeting  enabled  this  committee  to  make  significant  improvements  this 
year.  The  associational  parsonage  was  found  to  need  substantial  work  due  to  water 
damage  to  the  sub-roof  and  subsequently  to  the  interior  ceiling.  The  parsonage 
roof  was  replaced,  repairs  made,  and  the  dormer  treated  with  vinyl  siding.  The 
cost  for  this  job  was  $2,404.55.  All  downstairs  ceilings  were  repainted,  damaged 
sections  replaced,  all  downstairs  woodwork  was  repainted  and  the  living  room 
received  new  wallpaper.  The  cost  of  interior  repairs  was  $2,145.46.  A  computer 
system  was  installed  in  the  associational  office  at  a  cost  of  $2,799.75.  The  park- 
ing lot  was  found  to  need  resurfacing  as  well  as  a  means  of  diverting  water  from 
the  carport  of  the  office  building.  The  cost  of  this  work  was  $1,478.00. 

The  above  capital  improvements  have  brought  all  of  the  associational  proper- 
ties into  a  satisfactory  condition.  Routine  maintenance  will  require  the  painting 
of  exterior  trim  on  the  associational  parsonage  in  the  1989-90  associational  year 
and  the  exterior  trim  on  the  office  building  should  be  painted  as  soon  thereafter 
as  funds  are  available.

SUNDAY  SCHOOL  REPORT 

The  decade  of  the  80's  should  come  to  a  close  with  a  celebration  of  victory  in 
reaching  persons  with  the  redeeming  gospel  of  Jesus  Christ.  This  victory  will  come 
when  all  the  programs  in  the  churches  and  all  the  denominational  efforts  are  com- 
bined and  found  to  call  our  members  to  one  supreme  purpose:  to  share  with  all 
persons  the  good  news  that  Jesus  Christ  is  their  hope  for  meaning  and  peace 
in  this  life  and  for  eternal  salvation.  "HERE'S  HOPE,  JESUS  CARES  FOR  YOU" 
is  suggested  as  the  theme  in  the  1989-90  church  year.  The  Sunday  School  pro- 
gram suggestions  and  field  service  promotion  will  focus  on  the  theme:  Share 
Hope. .  .Reach  10.  Following  simultaneous  revivals,  churches  will  continue  to 
communicate  through  all  the  available  media  that  the  hope  in  Christ  about  which 
they  are  hearing  is  being  shared  through  the  churches  where  they  see  the  sign 
"Hope  Shared  Here". 

Sunday  Schools  will  provide  the  primary  support  for  this  emphasis  as  they  lead 
in  efforts  to  discover,  lovingly  cultivate,  and  witness  to  the  hope  that  is  in  Jesus 
Christ,  as  well  as  involve  in  Bible  study  and  encourage  church  membership  for 
those  persons  --  the  millions  --  who  do  not  have  the  hope  that  is  in  Jesus  Christ. 
A  massive  effort  to  discover  and  cultivate  prospects  will  be  made  through  a  new 
Sunday  School  Outreach  Communication  plan,  for  example,  beginning  in  1988-89. 

The  following  events  were  held  this  past  year:  Sunday  School  Preparation  Week 
Promotion,  Associational  Training  School,  Vacation  Bible  School  Clinic  in  April, 
Key  Leadership:  Instruction  on  the  "Here's  Hope  Revival"  and  People  Search/ 
Scripture  Distribution,  promotion  of  area  and  state-wide  Sunday  School  Training 
events. 

Because  our  own  personal  hope  is  in  Jesus  Christ,  and  because  we  believe 
that  God  is  going  to  bless  an  effort  based  entirely  on  providing  hope  to  the 

-62- 


multitude,  we  call  all  programs  to  join  in  an  effort  that  looks  forward  to  a  victorious 
celebration  of  hope  shared  and  hope  received  as  we  move  into  the  90's  with  all 
the  programs  of  the  churches  strengthened  to  join  in  the  final  decade  of  Bold  Mis- 
sion Thrust.

ORDINATION  COMMITTEE  REPORT 

The  Ordination  Committee  was  not  called  upon  this  last  year  to  render  their  serv- 
ices in  helping  churches  ordaining  candidates  to  the  ministry.  This  indicates  a  need 
for  prayer  on  our  part  that  God  would  lead  His  people  into  the  ministry  and  also 
that  some,  who  should,  may  surrender  to  His  call.

MODERATOR'S  REPORT 

Having  moved  from  the  association  territory,  I  have  attended  less  meetings, 
(committees,  planning,  etc.),  the  vice-moderator,  Dr.  James  A.  Hubbard  agreeing 
to  take  these  for  me  to  relieve  me  of  long-distance  driving. 

I  presided  at  the  Annual  Meeting  in  October,  1988  meeting  with  the  Pleasant 
Home  and  Oak  Grove  Baptist  Churches. 

The  January  Executive  Meeting  was  held  at  the  Wilkesboro  Baptist  Church  - 
I  presided  at  this  meeting. 

The  semi-annual  meeting  was  held  April  3,  1989,  at  the  Zion  Hill  Baptist  Church 
-  I  presided  at  this  meeting. 

In  each  of  these  meetings  reports  were  heard  from  the  organizations  of  the 
association,  plus  the  Brazil  Project,  Treasurer's  Report,  Director  of  Missions,  etc. 

The  July  1 989  Executive  Committee  was  held  in  the  Wilkesboro  Baptist  Church; 
reports  from  the  various  associational  organizations  were  heard,  and  a  report  from 
the  Brazil  Project.  I  presided. 

I  wish  to  thank  the  association  for  permitting  me  to  serve  these  past  two  years 
as  Moderator.  I  pray  the  Lord  to  bless  you  as  you  continue  His  work  here  in  Wilkes 
County  and  beyond.

BAPTIST  HOSPITAL  REPORT 

The  past  year  at  Baptist  Hospital  has  been  characterized  by  growth  in  facilities 
and  personnel,  advancement  in  medical  technology  and  continuation  of  the  spirit 
of  personal  concern  which  springs  from  the  hospital's  Christian  heritage  and  its 
denominational  tie. 

Occupation  of  the  new  North  Tower  is  almost  complete,  increasing  the  hospital's 
bed  capacity  to  806.  Construction  of  the  Clinical  Sciences  Building  is  expected 

-63- 


to  be  completed  by  1990.  The  Medical  Center  Boulevard  is  currently  being 
moved  to  make  ready  for  expansion  of  the  Patient/Visitor  Parking  Deck.  Two  new 
helicopter  pads,  one  for  the  AirCare  helicopter  and  a  second  for  helicopters  from 
other  medical  centers,  will  be  located  on  top  of  the  parking  deck.  The  J.  Paul  Sticht 
Center  on  Aging  will  be  built  on  the  approximate  site  of  the  current  helicopter  pad. 
These  new  facilities  will  make  it  possible  not  only  for  our  hospital  to  serve  more 
people  but  to  serve  them  better. 

In  recent  months  the  hospital's  Level  One  Trauma  Center  has  seen  further  de- 
velopment of  its  critical  care  transportation  system  by  adding  to  the  helicopter  am- 
bulance service  its  own  neonatal  ambulance  for  critically  ill  infants.  The  CommView 
Computer  System,  developed  jointly  by  the  Department  of  Radiology  and  A  T  & 
T,  digitizes  images,  stores  large  volumes  of  data  and  transmits  the  images  via 
fiberoptic  cable  throughout  the  Medical  Center  and  via  satellite  to  other  hospitals 
without  any  x-ray  film.  Some  brain  tumors  can  now  be  successfully  treated  by  im- 
planting a  tiny  radioactive  pellet  directly  into  tumor.  Other  types  of  cancer  can 
be  treated  by  hyperthermia  which  carefully  focuses  microwaves  to  raise 
temperatures  inside  a  tumor  to  102  degrees  to  105  degrees  Fahrenheit  to  kill  or 
injure  cancer  cells.  A  technique  called  Mohs  Micrographic  Surgery  allows  the 
removal  of  skin  cancer  with  minimal  damage  to  normal  skin. 

These  and  other  advances  in  patient  care  attract  patients  from  across  the  country 
and  around  the  world.  Last  year  the  22,100  persons  admitted  to  Baptist  Hospital 
came  from  almost  every  county  in  North  Carolina,  from  thirty-five  states,  and  from 
eight  foreign  countries. 

The  Department  of  Pastoral  Care  continues  its  ministries  to:  the  patient  in  the 
hospital;  the  family  and  friends  of  patients;  the  medical  staff  who  minister  to  the 
patient;  the  person  requesting  counseling  in  our  centers  in  Winston-Salem,  Fayet- 
teville,  Morganton,  Charlotte,  Rockingham,  North  Wilkesboro;  the  ministers  who 
seek  our  courses  in  clinical  instruction,  equipping  them  for  specialized  and  pastoral 
ministries. 

Added  to  these  are  our  "Pastors'  Sabbath"  and  "Interim  Church"  programs, 
as  we  work  closely  with  the  North  Carolina  Baptist  State  Convention  in  address- 
ing the  needs  of  pastors  and  churches. 

We  renew  our  commitment  to  the  faithful  delivery  of  pastoral  care,  beginning 
in  our  Medical  Center  and  reaching  around  the  world. 

Baptist  Hospital  continues  to  feel  the  effect  of  the  health  care  personnel  short- 
age, especially  as  it  attempts  to  open  new  facilities.  However,  we  do  not  have 
any  beds  closed  due  to  shortages.  The  Code  Blue  Program  in  high  schools  of 
northwestern  North  Carolina  and  the  appeal  to  Baptist  youth  through  Acteens  is 
also  creating  interest  in  health  care  careers. 

During  the  past  fiscal  year  Baptist  Hospital  received  $668,937.39  through  the 
Cooperative  Program  and  $303,133.07  through  the  Homes  and  Hospital  Offer- 
ing, including  church  gifts  directly  to  the  hospital.  The  hospital  staff  and  patients 
are  grateful  for  the  services  made  possible  by  these  gifts.

Baptists  and  their  colleges  have  been  doing  Christian  education  together  for 
a  long,  long  time.  Look  at  those  dates  listed  with  each  college  above.  When  they 
are  totaled,  the  cumulative  number  of  service  years  for  our  seven  colleges  is  807\ 
North  Carolina  Baptists  have  grown  up  with  their  colleges,  so  much  so  that  it  is 
difficult  to  imagine  our  total  mission  program  without  them.  During  the  1988-89 
school  year  there  were  18,534  students  and  2,249  faculty  and  staff  engaged  in 
the  programs  of  Baptist  colleges. 

If  you  should  ask  our  college  leaders  what  is  uppermost  on  their  minds  these 
days,  you  would  get  an  answer  such  as  this:  "Christian  education,  Baptist  students 
and  Cooperative  Program  support."  A  sentence  or  two  about  each  of  these  will 
complete  this  report. 

Christian  Education.  There  are  large  and  important  differences  that  belong  to 
Baptist  colleges.  They  are  smaller,  friendlier  campuses  where  Christian  community 
is  present  and  encouraged  and  where  education  and  the  Christian  faith  are 
compatible. 

Baptist  Students.  Young  people  from  our  churches  are  encouraged  to  apply 
to  Baptist  colleges.  Pastors  and  parents  can  help  students  with  their  life  plans 
when  they  guide  them  toward  Baptist  schools.  Generous  student  aid  and  work 
study  programs  make  it  possible  for  any  qualified  student  to  attend  a  Baptist 
college. 

Cooperative  Program.  Your  North  Carolina  Baptist  colleges  say  "Thank  you" 
for  the  generous  dollar  support  through  the  Cooperative  Program.  Baptist  dollars 
buy  quality  Christian  education  and  make  healthy  institutions  possible.

ANNUITY  BOARD  REPORT 

The  Annuity  Board's  annual  report  states  that  it  "is  charged  by  the  denomina- 
tion with  the  responsibility  of  administering  retirement  and  insurance  programs 
to  meet  the  needs  of  ministers,  church  employees,  denominational  and  institu- 
tional employees,  and  seminary  students.  Money  contributed  by  churches,  agen- 
cies, and  individuals  is  held  in  trust  by  the  Annuity  Board  to  provide  these  benefits. 
A  relief  and  supplemental  assistance  program  assists  needy,  disabled  and  retired 
ministers  and  widows  of  ministers.  This  program  is  funded  by  the  S.B.C.  Cooper- 
ative Program  and  by  private  donations  to  the  Annuity  Board's  Endowment 
Department". 

-65- 


Retirement  benefits  paid  for  1988  were  $71,349,334  with  the  total  number  of 
annuitants  being  18,873  for  the  entire  Southern  Baptist  Convention. 

In  North  Carolina  there  are  3,406  members  making  contributions  to  the  Annuity 
Board's  retirement  plans,  and  1 ,764  annuitants  receiving  benefits  each  month  total- 
ing $440,929.89.  Only  64%  of  North  Carolina  Southern  Baptist  Churches  are  par- 
ticipating in  our  retirement  plans. 

Churches  need  to  consider  their  responsibility  in  this  area  and  do  as  the  Lord 
would  have  them.  Faith  does  not  exclude  adequate  preparations  in  the  will  of  God.

NORTH  CAROLINA  MISSIONS  REPORT 

Our  100  counties  comprise  a  true  mission  challenge  to  our  churches,  associa- 
tions, state  convention  and  its  institutions  and  agencies.  No  longer  can  we  take 
for  granted  our  "Baptist  heartland".  No  longer  can  we  assume  that  we  have  enough 
churches,  enough  ministries,  enough  missionaries,  enough  money.  More  than 
three  million  of  our  state's  six  million  residents  claim  no  membership  in  a  church, 
anybody's  church.  The  numbers  aren't  much  better  within  our  own  denomination. 
Of  our  1.1  million  members  on  the  roll,  less  than  one-third  of  that  number  attend 
worship  services  and  Bible  study  on  a  "good"  Sunday.  Enrollment  in  our  church 
program  organizations  declines  more  years  than  it  grows.  There  were  100,000 
more  people  enrolled  in  Sunday  School  twenty  years  ago  than  today.  We're  not 
keeping  up  and  we're  certainly  not  growing  as  we  should. 

There  is  also  a  growing  challenge  in  our  direct  mission  ministries  programs. 
Foreign  nations  have  literally  come  to  live  on  our  doorstep  with  hundreds  and 
thousands  of  people  of  different  lands  now  calling  North  Carolina  home.  Migrant 
and  seasonal  farm  workers  can  now  be  found  in  virtually  every  section  of  our  state. 
There  are  greater  challenges  from  people  with  special  handicaps  like  the  deaf, 
the  blind,  the  mentally  retarded.  And  there  are  new  groups  in  need  of  our  ministry 
-  like  those  who  abuse  drugs  and  alcohol,  those  who  are  homeless,  those  who 
live  without  much  hope. 

But  there  is  hope.  Our  churches,  associations,  state  convention,  institutions  and 
agencies  still  stand  ready  to  minister  in  Christ's  name  to  all  people.  Unfavorable 
odds  have  never  deterred  our  energies.  We  must  reach  out,  minister,  touch  peo- 
ple wherever  and  by  whatever  means  necessary. 

This  is  State  Missions.  Our  churches,  associations,  state  convention  coming 
together  to  reach  these  seemingly  unreachables.  State  Missions  is  Walter  Jones 
teaching  a  Seminary  Extension  course  in  a  correctional  institution.  State  Missions 
is  Alma  Helton  going  on  volunteer  mission  projects  from  Alaska  to  Uruguay,  State

AMERICAN  BIBLE  SOCIETY  REPORT 

The  American  Bible  Society  (ABS)  is  a  group  to  which  many  of  our  churches 
and  members  give.  These  gifts  assist  in  Scripture  translation  and  distribution.  In 
cooperation  with  the  United  Bible  Societies  (UBS)  around  the  globe,  the  ABS  can 
touch  lives  in  the  various  language  groups  here  and  abroad.  The  ABS  thanks 
Southern  Baptist  Churches  for  contributions  amounting  to  $251,951.11  in  1988. 

There  are  several  interesting  trends  coming  to  light  in  the  Bible  Society  realm. 
One  area  is  sources  of  income.  In  the  1 940's  American  churches  of  all  denomina- 
tions provided  30%  of  the  Society's  annual  income.  In  1 988  they  gave  an  all  time 
low  of  3%.  ABS  appeals  to  all  churches  to  respond  to  the  growing  world  hunger 
for  God's  Word  (the  requests  for  copies  of  the  Scriptures  increased  11%  from 
1987  to  1988). 

Another  trend  is  a  renewed  interest  in  Bible  translation,  revision  of  outdated 
translations,  and  simplified  translations  for  new  readers.  During  1988  the  UBS 
fellowship  published  new  Scriptures  (New  Testaments  and  complete  Bibles)  in 
23  languages.  There  are  now  1,907  languages  which  have  at  least  one  book  of 
the  Bible  printed.  Society  workers  and  volunteers  have  been  sponsoring  Bible  trans- 
lation workshops  and  literacy  centers.  What  good  is  a  copy  of  the  Scripture  if  one 
cannot  read? 

A  final  trend  is  the  shift  in  Christianity's  center  of  gravity.  From  an  ABS  chart 
it  appears  that  in  1900  there  were  approximately  450  million  Christians  in  the  North- 
ern Hemisphere  and  100  million  in  the  Southern  Hemisphere.  In  1988  there  were 
700  million  Christians  in  the  Northern  Hemisphere  and  800  million  in  the  Southern 
Hemisphere.  Thus,  while  we  have  not  yet  doubled  our  numbers,  the  church  below 
the  equator  has  doubled  in  size  three  times  since  1900. 

-67- 


The  People's  Republic  of  China  and  the  Soviet  Union  have  opened  doors  to 
Scripture  distribution  that,  until  recently,  were  somewhat  closed.  The  Amity  Print- 
ing Company  (founded  by  Chinese  church  leaders  and  the  UBS)  was  established 
in  December  1987  for  the  primary  purpose  of  printing  Bibles  and  other  Christian 
publications  for  the  Chinese  church.  By  the  end  of  1988,  Amity  had  produced  ap- 
proximately 700,000  Bibles  and  New  Testaments. 

The  UBS  shipped  twice  as  many  Scripture  portions  to  the  Soviet  Union  in  1988 
(570,000)  as  it  had  the  entire  period  from  1946-the  year  it  began--to  1987.  The 
Chairman  on  Religious  Affairs  in  the  USSR,  Konstantin  Kharchev,  has  invited  ABS 
and  Southern  Baptist  Convention  supporters  to  provide  ONE  MILLION  BIBLES 
AND  NEW  TESTAMENTS  to  the  USSR  and  Eastern  Europe.  At  $3  per  Bible,  the 
ABS  needs  $3  million  above  the  regular  budget  to  "fill  the  order."  Since  less  than 
one  Christian  in  20  even  has  a  Bible  in  the  USSR,  we  should  give  prayerful  con- 
sideration to  this  special  invitation. 

The  1989  ABS  budget  is  a  whopping  $49,600,000,  the  largest  in  its  history.  It 
is  wonderful  that  we  can  have  a  part  in  placing  God's  word  in  the  hands  of  those 
who  not  only  don't  know  us,  but  also  would  probably  have  a  difficult  time  under- 
standing us  if  they  did  know  us.  The  ABS  address  is  1865  Broadway,  New  York, 
NY  10023.

BAPTIST  CHILDREN'S  HOMES  REPORT 

Like  salmon,  Baptist  Children's  Homes  this  year  struggled  upstream  to  get  ahead 
of  the  problems  that  plague  America's  children  and  families. 

While  maintaining  group  care  services  in  place  since  1885,  BCH  also  inaugurated 
two  innovative  services  in  Care  House;  the  first  home  for  teen-age  mothers  and 
their  babies  we  know  of  anywhere,  and  the  Philpott  Parent  Aide  Program. 

Care  House,  where  five  teen-age  mothers  will  learn  to  parent  their  babies,  was 
dedicated  June  4  during  services  at  Lenoir's  Lower  Creek  Baptist  Church.  Also 
dedicated  then  was  the  Marguerite  Noel  Home  for  Girls,  our  second  behavior 
change  home. 

Until  Care  House,  a  young  girl  who  had  a  child  often  could  not  return  home. 
If  she  wanted  to  bear  her  child  and  keep  it,  the  child  had  to  go  to  one  foster  care 
home  and  the  young  mother  to  another  until  she  was  of  age. 

The  Noel  Home,  like  Moody  Home  in  Franklin,  cares  for  girls  whose  difficult 
behavior  prohibits  them  from  living  at  home  or  in  traditional  group  care  settings. 

On  June  21  BCH  dedicated  the  Philpott  Parent  Aide  Program  in  Davidson  Coun- 
ty. Trained  volunteers  will  establish  relationships  with  homes  labeled  "at  risk"  for 
child  abuse.  The  volunteer  will  be  counselor  and  friend,  critic  and  confidant  to 
help  families  spot  and  correct  areas  that  lead  to  child  abuse  or  neglect. 

With  renewed  emphasis  on  church  communication,  BCH  named  two  men  to 
act  as  directors  of  church  relations  and  planned  giving.  Charles  Tanner  and  Bill 
Morrow  will  arrange  BCH  speakers  for  your  church  and  help  your  members  with 
estate  planning. 

BCH  continues  to  implement  "intentionalized  services"  according  to  the  long- 
range  plan  it  adopted  in  April  1 988.  Peer  culture  therapy  is  being  utilized  on  children 

-68- 


at  Odum  Home  and  Noel  Home  and  is  being  phased  in  at  Mills  Home.  This  pro- 
gram makes  the  children  more  responsible,  both  for  themselves  and  others  in  their 
cottage. 

BCH  continues  to  garner  popular  support  with  North  Carolina  Baptists  who  con- 
tributed $1.52  million  through  the  Cooperative  Program  last  year.  In  the  1988-89 
fiscal  year,  more  than  $1  million  has  been  received  in  bequests. 

The  executive  committee  of  the  General  Board  of  the  Baptist  State  Convention 
of  North  Carolina  this  year  declined  to  adopt  a  report  of  a  special  study  commit- 
tee that  would  have  drastically  reduced  BCH's  share  of  the  Cooperative  Program. 
The  committee  recommended,  and  the  General  Board  supported,  a  return  of  indi- 
vidual special  offerings  to  Baptist  Children's  Homes,  Baptist  Retirement  Homes 
and  Baptist  Hospital.  All  three  social  services  agencies  support  such  a  move,  which 
would  eliminate  the  Homes  and  Hospital  Offering  they  share.  The  state  conven- 
tion will  vote  on  that  proposal  in  November. 

BCH,  which  began  as  an  orphanage  in  Thomasville  in  1 885,  operates  four  group 
care  campuses,  eight  emergency  care  homes,  a  home  for  unwed  mothers,  a  teen 
mother/baby  home,  two  behavior  change  homes  for  girls,  therapeutic  camping 
and  a  model  child  development  center.  It  has  work  in  17  locations  across  the  state, 
serving  more  than  1,000  children  and  families  each  year. 

All  campuses  and  facilities  welcome  involvement  by  local  churches,  RAs,  GAs, 
WMUs  and  Sunday  school  departments.  Baptist  support  is  strong  for  children  and 
families  and  we  pray  it  will  continue  to  strengthen  as  needs  grow  every  day.

THE  BIBLICAL  RECORDER  REPORT 

After  more  than  150  years  as  the  Baptist  paper  serving  North  Carolina  Baptists 
in  particular  and  Southern  Baptists  in  general,  the  Biblical  Recorder  is  launching 
a  new  era  of  service  and  ministry  for  the  decade  of  the  '90s  and  the  21  st  Century. 

We  have  just  completed  a  year-long  readership  survey  at  substantial  cost  and 
investment  of  time  and  energy,  but  we  believe  it  is  going  to  be  helpful  in  charting 
the  course  for  future  service  to  our  family  of  faith. 

Baptists  must  have  a  single  source  of  news  and  information  upon  which  to  make 
decisions  and  evaluate  ministries.  The  Recorder  is  that  source;  nothing  else  mat- 
ches the  paper  as  a  single  resource  of  news,  information,  inspiration  and  challenge 
in  our  mission  efforts  together. 

Competition  for  reading  time  is  keen.  Baptists  are  facing  more  and  more 
demands  upon  their  time  and  resources.  The  Recorder  is  never  a  luxury;  it  is  a 
necessity  if  we  are  to  work  together  in  this  complex  and  demanding  age. 

We  have  exciting  plans  for  the  future.  More  feature  articles  about  North  Caro- 
linians, more  articles  geared  to  youth,  family  and  women.  An  even  greater  focus 
on  laypersons  will  continue  after  the  beginning  we  made  in  1988. 

And  we  are  trying  to  work  out  the  mechanics  of  church  pages  whereby  we  can 
save  churches  time,  money  and  staff  work  by  offering  them  a  page  in  the  Recorder 
in  lieu  of  their  weekly  newsletter.  Watch  for  more  details  in  the  Recorder  in  the 
near  future  concerning  this  time  and  money-saving  device  for  the  churches  (and 
associations). 

-69- 


We  have  a  large  readership  now  but  we  want  more-that  is  the  purpose  of  the 
paper.  We  serve  hundreds  of  thousands  of  Baptists  but  we  want  to  serve  even 
more.  More  than  60  percent  of  our  news  is  from  North  Carolina  now,  but  we  want 
a  higher  percentage  soon! 

The  most  important  thing  facing  us  at  this  point  is  to  get  the  paper  into  more 
Baptist  homes  than  ever  before.  Will  you  help  us?  Not  only  subscribe  to  and  read 
the  Recorder  yourself  but  please  speak  a  good  word  for  the  paper  and  urge  others 
to  subscribe  and  read  it  also.  For  more  information  on  rates  and  special  plans

BAPTIST  FOUNDATION  REPORT 

"Strengthening  for  Greater  Service"  had  special  meaning  for  the  trust  agency 
of  the  Convention  during  the  past  year.  Noting  the  progress  made  during  its  69-year 
history  in  undergirding  the  financial  support  for  the  Convention,  its  churches,  in- 
stitutions, and  mission  causes,  the  Foundation  recommitted  itself  to  greater  serv- 
ice to  these  causes. 

With  concern  that  it  performs  its  mission  efficiently  and  that  it  involves  more 
Baptists  effectively  in  supporting  the  cause  of  Christ,  the  Foundation  carefully  em- 
barked upon  a  capital  campaign  to  secure  funds  for  the  construction  of  its  own 
building  to  house  its  development  and  administrative  offices. 

Since  its  staffing  in  the  early  1950's,  space  for  the  Foundation  has  been  pro- 
vided in  the  Baptist  Building.  With  the  consistent  rapid  growth  in  assets  managed 
and  services  provided  by  the  Foundation,  the  current  space  has  become  inade- 
quate to  properly  perform  the  on-going  work  of  the  agency.  We  are  pleased  to 
report  that  the  majority  of  the  funds  necessary  to  construct  the  new  building  has 
been  secured.  The  new  building  will  be  erected  beside  the  Baptist  Building  in  Cary 
and  we  are  hopeful  that  it  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  by  the  end  of  this  year. 

In  engaging  in  this  project,  it  has  been  of  utmost  importance  to  our  Board  of 
Directors  and  Staff  that  the  on-going  responsibilities  of  the  Foundation  not  be 
neglected  during  the  campaign.  Indeed,  the  need  for  increased  financial  support 
for  Baptist  institutions,  missions,  and  other  ministries  has  not  diminished,  and  has 
remained  our  first  priority.  It  is  essential  that  more  individual  Baptists  become  aware 
of  the  possibility  of  sharing  the  message  of  Christ  beyond  their  lifetime.  Seeking 
to  fill  this  role,  the  Baptist  Foundation  is  the  only  entity  which  receives  endow- 
ment gifts  for  any  and  every  Baptist  cause.  Through  trust  and  endowment  funds 
established  by  individuals,  churches,  and  associations,  the  principal  is  invested 
and  income  is  paid  regularly  and  perpetually  to  the  cause  or  causes  named  by 
the  donor. 

Total  assets  of  the  Foundation  is  now  approaching  $17  million,  of  which  $3.8 
million  was  added  in  1988  alone,  making  this  the  greatest  year  of  growth  in  the 
Foundation's  history.  Last  year,  $1,258,775  was  paid  to  Baptist  work  and  to  in- 

-70- 


dividuals  designated  in  charitable  remainder-type  trusts.  This  latter  agreement  pro- 
vides for  income  to  be  paid  to  the  donor  (or  other  individuals)  for  a  specific  period 
of  time  and  then  to  charitable  causes  thereafter.  Through  this  method  of  making 
gifts  to  Christian  causes,  the  donor  is  assured  that  heirs  are  not  neglected  and 
that  Christian  causes  will  eventually  benefit  from  the  estate. 

We  are  continually  grateful  for  the  support  of  Baptists  across  the  state  who  sup- 
port the  mission  and  ministry  of  the  Foundation.  We  welcome  the  opportunity  to 
serve.

The  1990  Annual  of  the 

Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association 

Is  Dedicated  To 

REV.  W.  PAUL  SHOUPE 


W.  Paul  Shoupe  has  humbly  and  compassionately  served  the  Brushy  Mountain 
Baptist  Association  as  a  man  of  God  for  nearly  25  years.  Born  in  the  hills  of  east- 
ern Kentucky  he  began  his  post-secondary  education  at  Cumberland  Junior  Col- 
lege in  Williamsburg,  KY  and  then  at  Carson  Newman  College  in  Jefferson  City, 
TN.  It  was  at  this  time  that  he  left  the  mountains  to  continue  his  education  at 
Southeastern  Baptist  Theological  Seminary  in  Wake  Forest,  NC  where  he  holds 
the  Bachelor  of  Divinity,  Master  of  Divinity,  and  Master  of  Theology  degrees. 

The  Rev.  Shoupe  was  ordained  in  1951  by  the  First  Baptist  Church  of  Jefferson 
City,  TN  at  which  time  he  became  minister  of  their  Eastside  Baptist  Mission.  In 
1953  he  moved  to  Hillsboro,  NC  to  pastor  Cross  Roads  Baptist  Church.  It  was  in 
1960  that  Rev.  Shoupe  and  his  family  were  called  to  the  Wilkes  area  where  he 
became  pastor  of  Liberty  Grove  Baptist  Church  until  1965  when  he  was  called  to 
leave  Wilkes  and  pastor  Ridgecrest  Baptist  Church  in  Durham,  NC  and  subsequent- 
ly Falls  Baptist  Church  in  Wake  Forest,  NC.  In  1971  Liberty  Grove  Baptist  Church 
recalled  Rev.  Shoupe  to  be  their  pastor  where  he  faithfully  served  until  his  retire- 
ment in  1989.  Since  that  time,  he  has  been  actively  involved  as  a  supply  and  in- 
terim pastor  at  several  area  churches. 

In  addition  to  fulfilling  his  pastoral  duties,  the  Rev.  Shoupe  served  twice  as  Mod- 
erator of  our  Association  and  headed  the  Seminary  Extension  Program  for  over 
20  years.  He  also  taught  Seminary  Extension  courses  in  neighboring  associations. 
On  the  facuity  of  Gardner-Webb  College,  Rev.  Shoupe  served  as  an  adjunct  pro- 
fessor of  the  Old  Testament. 

The  Rev.  Shoupe  is  married  to  Laurell  Hendee  Shoupe,  and  they  have  five 
children:  Betsy  of  Durham;  Peggie  of  Efland;  Marc  of  Cincinnati,  OH;  Eddie  and 
Tony,  both  of  North  Wilkesboro. 

Paul  Shoupe's  sincere  devotion  to  living  out  the  gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  is  an 
example  to  be  revered  and  emulated  by  all.  The  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Associa- 
tion would  like  to  thank  the  Rev.  Shoupe  for  sharing  his  life  and  ministry  with  the 
people  of  our  area.

HISTORY  OF  BEAVER  CREEK  BAPTIST  CHURCH 

1979  -  1990 

The  early  history  of  Beaver  Creek  Baptist  Church  is  recorded  in  the  1979  An- 
nual of  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association.  This  brief  report  is  for  the  eleven 
years  since  that  time. 

Paul  Kendall  Hatton  was  called  as  pastor  June  3,  1979  and  served  until  March 
1 983.  Rev.  Ralph  Culler  served  as  interim  from  May  1 983  until  October  20,  1 983, 
at  which  time  the  present  pastor,  Rev.  Robert  Seatz,  was  called. 

At  the  request  of  Rock  Springs  Baptist  Church,  Stony  Fork  Association,  Burl 
Jones  was  ordained  to  the  ministry  by  Beaver  Creek  Baptist  Church,  October  21 , 
1979. 

Beaver  Creek  has  always  been  a  mission-minded  church  with  a  commitment 
to  support  associational  and  Southern  Baptist  programs.  Their  interest  is  in 
teaching  their  own  and  sharing  with  others  the  gospel  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

Beaver  Creek  is  a  rural  church  in  a  stable  community  which  results  in  a  slow 
membership  growth.  32  new  members  have  been  added  since  1983.  Attendance 
has  grown  from  an  average  of  32  in  1983  to  an  average  of  48  this  year. 

In  October  1984,  the  church  adopted  a  constitution  and  by-laws,  along  with 
guidelines  for  the  cemetery  use.  Several  additions  and  maintenance  procedures 
have  been  completed. 

Total  receipts  in  1 979  amounted  to  $1 8,339.00  and  in  1 989  grew  to  $48,727.00. 
In  1 983  the  building  fund  had  over  $1 ,700.00  which  has  grown  to  over  $35,000.00. 
Plans  are  underway  for  the  construction  of  a  fellowship  hall  and  additional  educa- 
tional facilities.

HISTORY  OF  MILLERS  CREEK  BAPTIST  CHURCH 

1959  -  1990 

Millers  Creek  Baptist  Church  was  organized  December  6,  1959  with  26  charter 
members.  The  first  services  were  held  in  the  Millers  Creek  Fire  Station. 

The  first  sanctuary  was  constructed  in  1962.  Six  classrooms,  an  office  and 
restrooms  were  added  in  1972. 


-22- 


In  March  1 981 ,  the  old  Millers  Creek  Elementary  School  property  was  purchased. 
The  gymnasium  was  used  for  youth  activities.  In  1983  the  church  voted  to  renovate 
the  old  school  building  and  utilize  those  facilities  for  the  church's  membership 
and  ministries. 

Millers  Creek  Baptist  Church  has  from  the  beginning  been  mission-minded  in 
its  support  of  the  associational  program  and  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  and 
its  causes. 

The  following  list  of  ministers  have  served  as  pastors:  Dean  Dillard,  1 960-1 963; 
Earl  Webb,  1964-1966;  David  Osborne,  1966-1967;  Ralph  Stanley,  1968-1975;  I.V. 
Couch,  1975-1981;  and  Jim  Gore,  1982  to  present. 

Sunday  School  Directors  have  been:  Wrenn  Minton,  Jim  Spicer,  Clate 
Bumgarner,  Joe  Parsons,  Tommy  Walsh,  Douglas  Taylor,  Jack  Reid,  Cecil  Greene, 
Bob  Duncan,  Max  Colwell  and  Bill  Faw. 

The  church  uses  a  rotation  system  for  the  election  of  deacons  each  year. 

The  church  entered  a  building  program  in  1984.  Construction  on  the  new  church 
was  started  in  October  1987.  The  first  phase  included  a  sanctuary  and  educa- 
tional space.  The  first  service  in  the  new  sanctuary  was  held  September  18,  1988. 
The  dedication  service  was  observed  October  9,  1988. 

In  early  1989  a  baptistry  was  installed  and  the  parking  lot  paved.  Later  in  1989 
a  fellowship  hall  was  constructed  and  furnished. 

The  congregation  has  experienced  a  steady  growth  in  the  two  years  since 
occupying  the  new  building.

vancement of  Christ's  kingdom  throughout  the  earth,  always  in  harmony  with  the

everyone  in  our  area;  (3)  encourage  and  facilitate  church  growth  and  develop- 
ment and  provide  other  services  to  the  churches;  (4)  coordinate  mission  ministries 
in  our  area  and  promote  cooperation  in  state,  home  and  foreign  missions;  and,

Southern  Baptist  agencies  and  institutions.

tion to  the  Committee  on  Membership  for  study  and  investigation.  The  church  shall

its  recommendation.  If  favorable,  it  will  be  received  into  full  membership  with  all 
the  rights  and  privileges  at  the  next  annual  session.  If  the  Association  then  votes 
to  receive  the  church,  the  moderator  shall  extend  the  hand  of  fellowship  to  the

in  the  Association  which  fails  to  cooperate  with  the  Association  shall,  upon  the 
recommendation  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Association,  be  contacted  by 


-24-

A  cooperating  church  shall  be  defined  as  one  which  sends  an  annual  report 
to  the  Association  and  messengers  to  Associational  meetings,  and  contributes

ized by  the  official  act  of  the  church  offering  the  same,  or  by  the  Membership  Com-

Our  born  again  experience  -  created  in  Christ  Jesus  to  do  the  things  God  would 
have  us  do.  We  must  be  zealous  for  good  works.  Al  asked  us  to  give  ourselves

of  the  Book  of  Reports.  He  also  referred  everyone  to  Digest  of  Church  Let- 
ters on  page  41.  Baptisms  are  up  from  1989  but  down  from  1988.  We  are 
to  measure  our  effectiveness  in  evangelism  by  how  we  do  what  we  are  called 
by  God  to  do.  Rev.  Jones  announced  that  there  will  be  an  Evangelism  Con- 
ference on  October  22  &  23,  1990  at  Millers  Creek  Baptist  Church.  The  serv- 
ice will  start  at  7:00  p.m.  each  day.  The  guest  speakers  on  Monday  night

Fuller,  Pastor  at  the  First  Baptist  Church  in  Roanoke,  Virginia.  Singers  for

the  Brazil  Partnership  Report  which  was  found  on  page  15  of  the  Book  of

pect of  entering  the  partnership,  two  evangelism  teams  have  gone  to  Brazil 
from  our  association.  For  every  person  that  went,  there  were  at  least  30  con- 

-34- 


verts.  The  last  team  that  went  had  a  wonderful  experience  where  there  was 
no  church,  a  church  has  now  been  founded  there.  Our  next  Brazil  team  is 
planning  to  leave  May  2,  1991.  We  are  now  in  the  process  of  recruiting  ten 
pairs  of  persons.  If  you  cannot  go,  help  someone  else  to  go. 

C.  The  Membership  Committee  Report  was  given  by  Rev.  Bob  Seatz,  page  29

of  Northside  Baptist  Church  were  asked  to  stand.

Andrews  asked  for  clarification  -  Are  we  voting  on  the  Finance  Committee

McKinney,  asked  Rev.  Seatz  to  read  the  letter  that  went  out  to  all  the  chur- 
ches along  with  the  Properties  Committee  Report,  which  he  did.  The  recom- 
mendation of  the  Finance  Committee  is  as  follows:  The  Finance  Commit- 
tee recommends  that  the  renovations  and  additions  to  associational  proper- 
ty as  proposed  by  the  Properties  Committee  be  funded  by: 

(1)  $10,000.00  from  existing  funds  now  available  in  the  association's  treasury. 

(2)  By  asking  the  churches  to  receive  a  special  offering  or  to  make  a  special 
budget  allocation  to  cover  their  proportional  share  of  the  remaining  funds 
needed  amounting  to  $7,946.75  (approximately  $1.00  per  resident  church 
member  is  suggested). 

(3)  Authorizing  the  trustees  of  the  association  to  borrow  such  funds  as  may 
be  lacking  at  completion  of  the  work. 

The  motion  was  adopted. 

H.  Director  of  Missions,  Bill  McKinney,  moved  the  adoption  of  the  Calendar  as

N.  The  Treasurer's  Report  was  given  by  Mrs.  Teresa  H.  Taylor. 

0.  Mr.  Pete  Lovette  gave  the  General  Board  Report,  which  was  printed  on  page 
19  in  the  Book  of  Reports.  He  made  several  comments  on  the  Cooperative 
Program  giving  in  our  state.  Churches  have  given  $20.6  million,  slightly  less 
than  1989.  Churches  have  given  $5.7  million  to  Foreign  Missions,  $4.0  million 
to  Home  Missions  -  8.1%  greater  than  1989.  Offerings  for  North  Carolina 
Ministries  were  up  by  6.8%  with  $1.7  million  being  given.  The  new  proposal 
in  the  Baptist  State  Conventions  is: 

(1)  A  commitment  to  world  wide  missions 

(2)  A  commitment  to  voluntary  cooperation  in  honoring  the  autonomy  of  each 
church 

(3)  A  commitment  of  Southern  Baptist  Missions 

(4)  A  commitment  to  increased  number  of  options  to  the  church 

What  the  new  proposaljs  not: 

(1)  Not  an  alternative  funding  plan 

(2)  Not  an  effort  of  exert  authority  from  the  Baptist  State  Convention  Board 

(3)  Not  an  attempt  to  move  away  from  Foreign  Missions 

(4)  Will  not  effect  messenger  qualifications 

(5)  Magnifies  missions,  voluntary  cooperation  and  church  autonomy 

P.  Mr.  Roy  Holder,  Church  Growth  Consultant  for  the  Baptist  State  Convention 
spoke  of  Opportunity  2000.  Fifty-one  percent  of  people  are  unchurched.  New 
churches  grow  faster.  He  stated  that  the  Church  Extension  Department  stands 
ready  to  help.  He  spoke  of  a  new  program,  PACT,  which  is  Program  Assistance 
for  Churches  in  Transition.  If  the  church  is  ten  years  old  or  older  it  is  in  tran- 
sition. Sixty-seven  percent  of  churches  in  North  Carolina  are  either  plateaued, 
declining,  or  somewhere  in  the  middle.  Another  program  is  "Church  Care'1 
-  a  consultant  will  sit  down  with  you  and  discuss  possibilities  for  growth.  Con- 
tact the  Director  of  Missions  or  the  Baptist  State  Convention  to  find  out  how 
you  can  receive  assistance  without  any  cost  to  the  church. 

Q.  Moderator  Hubbard  recognized  our  visitors  which  were  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Roy 
Holder  and  Rev.  I.V.  and  Mabel  Couch. 

R.  Mrs.  Mabel  Couch  was  asked  if  she  would  like  to  speak.  She  spoke  on  be- 
ing a  Church  Growth  Multiplier  for  the  Baptist  State  Convention  which  focuses 
on  Sunday  School,  Discipleship  Training  and  WMU.  Church  Growth 
Multipliers  are  available  to  encourage  the  leaders  and  start  new  work.  She 
has  spoken  with  pastors  and  members,  Director  of  Missions'  and  associa- 
tional officers.  The  emphasis  in  Sunday  School  is  "Breakthrough", 
Discipleship  Training  is  "DiscipleAH"  and  in  WMU  is  "Empowered". 

S.  Moderator  Hubbard  moved  that  all  of  the  reports  be  adopted.  Seconded  and 
adopted.

Childs  of  Liberty  Grove  Baptist  Church  accompanied  by  Mrs.  Judy  Eller  of  Little 
Rock  Baptist  Church  at  the  piano  and  Mr.  Steve  Anglin  of  Liberty  Grove  Baptist

9.  Rev.  Rex  Shumate,  pastor  of  Edgewood  Baptist  Church,  brought  the  after- 
noon message.  He  read  scripture  from  Galatians  2:20  and  5:24.  He  stated  that 
any  preaching  that  excludes  the  cross  is  lacking.  His  sermon  title  was  "The  Fourth 
Cross"  (our  old  nature).  He  stated  that  we  need  to  take  up  our  cross  -  get  rid  of 
our  old  nature.  If  the  Word  is  implanted  in  us,  James  said  three  things  will  happen: 

(1)  Help  us  control  our  tongue  -  we  should  listen  twice  as  much  as  we  speak

during  the  dinner. 

11 .  Dr.  John  Wayland  stated  that  he  is  really  thrilled  with  Northside  Baptist  Church

make  them  special  guests  for  the  evening. 

12.  Rev.  Robert  Duncan,  pastor  of  Oakwoods  Baptist  Church,  gave  the  benedic- 
tion and  the  meeting  was  recessed  for  the  evening  meal.

16.  The  second  part  of  the  theme  interpretation  was  given  by  Rev.  Al  Andrews 
".  .  .created  in  Christ  Jesus  unto  good  works.  .  ."  Ephesians  2:10  (b).  Why  were 
we  created  in  Christ  Jesus?  For  good  works!  Works  do  not  earn  salvation.  Works 
do  express  our  salvation.  Good  works  proclaim  what  a  difference  Jesus  makes 
in  our  lives.  Good  works  demonstrate  our  gratitude  for  God's  love,  advertize  our 
allegiance  to  God,  exemplify  the  work  of  God  in  us,  prove  our  faith  in  God,  reveal 
the  sincerity  of  our  commitment  to  use,  provide  us  a  way  to  use  the  opportunity 
to  glorify  His  name.  Is  your  witness  reflected  in  your  gifts  to  God? 

17  Rev.  Jerry  Wayne  Fuller,  pastor  of  Little  Rock  Baptist  Church,  led  in  prayer.

Our  job  is  to  make  disciples. 

21.  Mrs.  Betty  Pardue'  gave  the  WMU  Report  which  was  printed  on  page  27  of

the  Lord.  REACH  -  TEACH  -  TOUCH  was  the  theme  for  this  past  year.  She  read 
a  letter  from  a  female  prison  inmate  thanking  everyone  for  their  Christmas  gifts.

22.  In  John  German's  absence,  Moderator  Hubbard  gave  the  Brotherhood  Report

Moderator  Hubbard  also  announced  that  Mr.  German  is  resigning  as  Brotherhood 
Director. 

23.  The  Music  Report  was  given  by  Mrs.  Martha  Childs.  The  report  is  located 
on  page  29  in  the  Book  of  Reports.  She  stated  that  on  September  18,  1990  the 
Associational  Choir  performed.  They  will  also  perform  at  the  Evangelism  Con- 
ference on  October  23,  1990.  She  made  one  change  to  her  printed  report  which

24.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "Brethren,  We  Have  Met  to  Worship"

at  the  organ. 

25.  Mr.  Edwin  Coates,  Executive  Director  of  the  Baptist  Foundation,  spoke  of 
how  God  has  really  blessed  the  ministry  of  the  Foundation  and  that  1989  has  been 
their  best  year.  He  stated  that  there  are  other  ways  of  stewardship  than  tithes  and 
offerings.  There  are  two  things  in  individuals  lives  -  the  Christian  cannot  do  enough 
for  the  Savior  and  most  people  want  to  save  everything  they  can  from  taxes  for 
their  heirs.  There  are  creative  ways  you  can  do  the  Lord's  work.  Have  a  good  will. 
You  can  continue  to  give  even  after  you  die.  He  brought  our  attention  to  the  report 
printed  on  page  34  of  the  Book  of  Reports.  They  received  two  of  their  largest  gifts 
this  year  -one  through  a  will,  the  other  through  a  trust  agreement. 

26.  William  B.  Stillerman,  President  of  the  Baptist  Retirement  Homes  was  intro- 
duced to  speak.  He  thanked  North  Carolina  Baptists  for  their  support  of  the  Retire- 
ment Homes  and  also  the  churches  in  our  association  for  helping  start  the  Retire- 
ment Home  in  the  1950s.  Their  institution  is  based  in  Jesus  Christ.  Through  the 
power  of  the  gospel  many  older  adults  have  security.  The  news  of  Jesus  Christ 
pleasures  older  adults  as  well  as  children.  Mr.  Stillerman  stated  that  we  support 
an  institution  that  takes  care  of  older  adults.  One  of  our  richest  resources  is  in 
older  adults.  The  North  Carolina  Offering  for  Older  Adults  will  be  February,  1991 
(Baptist  Retirement  Homes"  Offering). 

27  In  the  absence  of  Robert  Parsons,  Mr."Larry  Sale  with  the  Development  Of- 
fice of  Gardner-Webb  College,  was  introduced  to  speak.  He  thanked  everyone  for 

-38- 


their  support  of  Baptist  Colleges  and  Universities.  He  stated  that  our  individual 
contribution  to  the  colleges  do  make  a  difference.  "Greater  Opportunity  of  Adult 
Learners"  is  a  program  of  Gardner-Webb  offered  through  Wilkes  Community  Col- 
lege. Mr.  Sale  invited  everyone  to  attend  Gardner-Webb's  Homecoming  '90  on  Oc- 
tober 27,  1990. 

28.  Special  music  was  presented  by  the  Pastor's  Choir  who  sang  "i  Am  Resolv- 
ed" and  "A  Medley  of  the  Cross"  with  Bill  McKinney  playing  the  piano  and  Steve 
Anglin  at  the  organ.  A  quartet  made  up  cf  Bill  McKinney,  Sam  Childs,  Ben  Eller 
and  Hadley  Triplett  sang  "When  the  Roll  Is  Called  up  Yonder"  accompanied  by 
Martha  Childs  at  the  piano. 

29.  The  Moderator's  Message  was  brought  by  Jimmy  Hubbard.  He  thanked  the 
association  for  letting  him  serve  as  moderator.  Moderator  Hubbard  shared  his  vi- 
sion for  Southern  Baptists.  He  asked  the  question,  "Have  Southern  Baptists  lost 
their  vision?"  He  read  scripture  from  Proverbs  29:18.  We  need  to  turn  from  con- 
flict to  cooperation,  from  mistrust  to  trust  and  recommit  ourselves  to  the  Great  Com- 
mission of  the  Lord.  Vision  can  become  reality  if  Southern  Baptists  call  themselves 
into  solemn  assembly  for  confession  and  prayer.  Moderator  Hubbard  stated  that 
he  believes  the  Cooperative  Program  was  given  to  men  by  God.  He  called  upon 
everyone  to  reject  an  alternate  funding  program.  Need  to  recognize  the  autonomy 
of  the  church  and  individuals.  The  spirit  of  cooperation,  trust,  missions,  evangelism 
and  discipleship  has  led  our  association  to  one  of  the  best  years  ever.  Evangelism 
resulted  in  417  baptisms.  Brazil  Mission  Teams  resulted  in  over  300  new  Chris- 
tians. If  his  vision  becomes  reality,  the  best  is  yet  to  come  for  Southern  Baptists. 

30.  The  benediction  was  given  by  Director  of  Missions,  Bill  McKinney,  and  the 
meeting  adjourned  at  8:45  p.m. 

SECOND  DAY 

31.  The  second  day  of  the  119th  Annual  Meeting  was  called  to  order  by  Moderator 
Jimmy  Hubbard  at  7:00  p.m.  on  October  9,  1990  at  Beaver  Creek  Baptist  Church. 
Moderator  Hubbard  asked  prayer  for  Judy  Eller's  brother  who  has  cancer. 

32.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "Stir  Thy  Church,  Oh  God  Our  Father" 
led  by  Charles  Billings  of  Zion  Hill  Baptist  Church  accompanied  by  Martha  Childs, 
Liberty  Grove  Baptist  Church,  at  the  piano. 

33.  Rev.  Bob  Seatz,  pastor  of  Beaver  Creek  Baptist  Church,  welcomed  the  161 
messengers  and  visitors  representing  33  churches. 

34.  Rev.  Al  Andrews  gave  the  third  theme  interpretation  -".  .  .Created  in  Christ 
Jesus  unto  good  works.  .  .".  The  results  of  being  created  in  Christ  Jesus  for  good 
works  is  that  we  are  his  workmanship.  Workmanship  -  from  which  we  get  our  English 
word  "poem".  Thus,  the  life  of  God's  people  is  His  work  of  art.  As  God's  workman- 
ship, His  poem,  we  (through  "good  works")  express,  convey,  create  an  image  and 
stir  the  senses  of  those  who  are  the  recipients  of  the  good  works  as  well  as  those 
who  witness  the  good  works.  A  Christian  follower  is  incomplete,  unfinished,  when 
not  doing  good  works.  Is  your  zealous  witness  for  Jesus  the  Christ  through  good 
works  balanced  by  your  zealous  monetary  gifts  to  the  Lord? 

35.  Rev.  Edgar  Whitlock,  pastor  of  New  Hope  Baptist  Church,  led  in  prayer. 

36.  Special  music  was  presented  by  the  Pastors'  Choir  who  sang  "Jesus  Paid 
It  AH"  and  "Are  You  Washed  In  The  Blood"  led  by  Mrs.  Martha  Childs,  Liberty 
Grove  Baptist  Church,  accompanied  by  Bill  McKinney  at  the  piano.  A  quartet  made 


-39- 


up  of  Sam  Childs,  Bill  McKinney,  Hadley  Triplett  and  Jim  Gore  sang  "Revive  Us 
Again"  accompanied  by  Martha  Childs  at  the  piano. 

37.  Rev.  Sam  Childs,  pastor  of  Liberty  Grove  Baptist  Church,  brought  the  message 
of  the  evening.  He  read  scripture  from  Isaiah  54:1.  We  need  to  apply  scripture  to 
ourselves,  our  association  and  our  convention.  "All  of  God's  Word  is  profitable  to 
us  today".  The  title  of  Rev.  Childs'  sermon  was  "God's  encouragement  to  us". 
As  God's  servants  - 

(1)  We  need  to  be  excited  about  God's  work. 

(2)  We  need  to  go  forward  -  advance,  witness  to  people.  Be  open  to  new  ideas. 

(3)  Don't  be  afraid  -  to  step  out  and  do  what  God  has  called  you  to  do.  God 
is  with  you. 

God's  encouragements  to  us: 

(1)  God  tells  us  that  He  has  called  us. 

(2)  God  will  not  ultimately  forsake  us.  God  will  keep  us. 

(3)  Remember  that  God  at  certain  times  gives  us  special  blessings. 

God  promises  His  providence  and  protection  to  us.  God  is  always  with  us. 

38.  The  congregation  joined  in  singing  "Rise  Up  O  Men  of  God"  led  by  Charles 
Billings  accompanied  by  Martha  Childs  at  the  piano. 

BUSINESS  SESSION 

A.  Moderator  Hubbard  stated  that  it  was  time  for  the  signing  of  the  Witness- 
ing/Giving Life  Commitment  Declaration.  Moderator  Hubbard  stated  that  he 
is  sold  on  the  Witnessing/Giving  Revivals  and  all  that  is  entailed  in  this  pro- 
gram. We  can  reach  our  county  for  the  Lord.  Director  of  Mission,  Bill  McKin- 
ney, stated  that  the  Witnessing/Giving  Declaration  of  Commitment  was  signed 
in  front  of  messengers  this  past  year  in  New  Orleans.  This  world  will  not  be 
won  with  "business  as  usual"  It  is  imperative  that  leaders  and  laypersons 
commit  to  grow  by  some  degree  in  personal  witnessing  and  giving.  The 
Declaration  of  Commitment  for  the  association  was  signed  in  front  of  the 
messengers  by  Bill  McKinney  (Director  of  Missions),  Jimmy  Hubbard  (Mod- 
erator), Ken  Jones  (Evangelism  Director)  and  Al  Andrews  (Stewardship 
Director). 

B.  Bill  McKinney  gave  the  Director  of  Mission  Report.  He  called  attention  to 
the  fact  that  Martha  Colwell's  commissioning  service  was  taking  place  at 
the  same  time  as  the  associational  meeting.  Bill  stated  that  a  civil  war  is 
going  on  the  Rwanda,  which  is  where  Martha  is  going,  and  hopes  that  it 
will  be  over  before  Martha  goes  to  Rwanda.  Bill  led  in  a  special  prayer  for 
Martha. 

Due  to  the  absence  of  Robert  Duncan,  Bill  did  not  distribute  the  ASSIST 
Team  Certificates.  Bill  asked  that  all  of  Lewis  Fork's  messengers  come  for- 
ward to  receive  a  Certificate  of  Appreciation  for  outstanding  baptisms  in  youth 
evangelism.  Irene  McNeil  and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Vernon  Dyer  came  forward  to 
accept  the  certificate.  Bill  presented  it  to  Mr.  Vernon  Dyer,  chairman  of 
deacons  at  Lewis  Fork  Baptist  Church.  Bill  named  several  churches  in  the 
association  that  had  a  significant  increase  in  baptisms. 

Bill  expressed  his  appreciation  for  the  privilege  of  carrying  out  God's  mis- 
sion here  for  14  years  and  how  grateful  he  is  for  all  of  the  great  leaders  in 
the  association.  He  stated  that  the  Cooperative  Program  of  mission  support 
was  born  in  1925  and  that  he  was  born  in  1926.  He  grew  up  with  the 

-40- 


Cooperative  Program.  When  he  was  growing  up,  there  would  be  representa- 
tives from  the  seven  Baptist  colleges  and  an  orphan  from  the  orphanage 
to  push  support  for  the  Cooperative  Program.  Later  came  the  Retirement 
Homes  and  hospital.  The  Cooperative  Program  of  mission  support  became 
the  way  we  could  share  Christ's  love. 

Bill  stated  that  some  people  have  never  been  able  to  trust  and  that  he 
wished  everyone  could  be  united.  There  is  now  a  disconnected  group  -  about 
30  of  50  top  giving  churches.  The  Cooperative  Program  may  dissolve  if  we 
don't  give  them  an  option.  He  trusts  that  all  of  our  churches  will  do  what 
God  leads  them  to  do. 

Bill  read  scripture  from  Ephesians  3:16,8-11,14  and  from  chapter  4:1,11. 
Christianity  must  not  be  separated  from  its  historical  roots.  Lessons  we  fine 
in  these  scriptures: 

(1)  Lesson  of  humility  -  we  are  not  the  head  of  anything  -  God  is  the  head. 
We  are  only  one  part  of  the  body.  We  are  servants,  not  superintendents. 

(2)  Our  service  is  a  ministry  of  proclaiming  God's  love.  We  are  not  to  judge 
or  convict.  Our  job  is  not  defending  God's  power,  as  if  we  could.  We  are 
not  in  the  business  of  purging  God's  society.  Our  assignment  is  to  live 
the  Christ  life. 

We  have  one  spirit  -  peace  and  love.  We  have  one  calling  -to  be  His.  We 
have  one  aim  -  to  grow  up  into  Christ.  We  have  one  commitment  -  to  build 
up  the  body  in  love. 

C.  In  the  absence  of  Rev.  Larry  Broome,  Rev.  Ken  Jones  gave  the  Resolutions 
Committee  Report  as  follows: 

Whereas,  Millers  Creek  Baptist  Church  and  Beaver  Creek  Baptist  Church 
so  graciously  and  bountifully  shared  their  facilities  and  food  with  those 
gathered  for  the  119th  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Associational  Annual  Meeting, 
be  it  resolved  that  the  association  express  our  grateful  appreciation  to  the 
families  of  these  two  churches. 

D.  Rev.  Hadley  Triplett  read  the  Memorials  Committee  Report.  There  were  a 
total  of  100  deaths.  Moderator  Hubbard  led  in  a  prayer  for  the  deceased  and 
their  loved  ones.

Mrs.  Patsy  Clanton 

We  had  a  total  of  thirty  honor  clerks  out  of  forty-two  church  clerks  (the  most 
we  have  ever  had!).  These  clerks  had  their  church  letter  into  the  associational 
office  by  the  deadline  date  with  every  blank  filled,  all  totals  correct,  and  all  dollar 
figures  rounded  to  the  nearest  dollar.  Each  of  these  clerks  will  be  receiving  a  Certi- 
ficate of  Recognition  and  have  their  name  printed  in  the  associational  minutes. 
Their  accuracy  and  promptness  makes  my  job  so  much  easier.  I  want  to  say  to 


-50- 


each  honor  clerk  how  much  I  appreciate  the  great  job  they  did.  I  hope  that  this 
list  will  grow  longer  each  year  until  we  have  forty-two  honor  clerks. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
Teresa  H.  Taylor,  Associational  Clerk

DIRECTOR  OF  MISSIONS  REPORT 

This  associational  year  has  been  packed  with  much  activity.  I  am  grateful  for 
the  privilege  of  serving  our  wonderful  Lord  among  you.  Several  factors  have 
prevented  me  from  making  a  complete  round  of  the  churches  this  year,  but  I  have 
been  able  to  visit  more  than  three-fourths  of  our  congregations.  There  have  been 
many  meetings  of  program  groups  -  Sunday  School,  Discipleship  Training,  WMU, 
Brotherhood,  and  Evangelism.  Many  activities  related  to  Here's  Hope  revivals  were 
engaged  in,  and  planning  meetings  have  been  many.  I  have  been  privileged  to 
work  with  eight  pastor  search  committees  this  year  and  with  several  pastors  in 
ministry  crisis.  Some  special  activities  which  provided  blessings  were: 

Teaching  three  study  courses 

Teaching  a  One-Day  Soul  Winning  Workshop 

Participation  in  the  constituting  of  Northside  Baptist  Church,  the  dedication 

of  Cub  Creek's  new  fellowship  hall,  the  commissioning  service  for 

Brazil  evangelism  team. 

We  have  continued  our  ministries  at  NASCAR  races  at  North  Wilkesboro  Speed- 
way and  I  have  conducted  services  six  times  in  nursing  homes.  Your  support  has 
enabled  me  to  carry  on  an  active  counselling  ministry  (more  than  1 00  hours)  which 
has  included  ministerial  crises,  personal  problems,  emotional  dysfunction,  marital 
problems,  post  trauma  stress  syndrome,  and  spiritual  development  crises. 

Beyond  my  specifically  associational  functions  I  have  been  actively  involved  in 
the  prison  chaplaincy  ministry  jointly  sponsored  by  this  association,  Wilkes  Minis- 
terial Association,  and  Baptist  State  Convention  of  North  Carolina.  I  have  been 
privileged  to  serve  at  the  state  level  on  the  Long  Range  Strategy  and  Planning 
group  and  on  the  Committee  on  Committees.  Within  the  local  community  I  have 
been  involved  as  a  board  member  of  Wilkes  Developmental  Day  School  (for  chil- 
dren with  handicapping  conditions),  Katherine  H.  Barber  homeless  Shelter,  and 
"I  Care  About  Teens"  (hotline  for  teenagers). 

The  year  1990-91  (my  fifteenth  year  as  your  Director  of  Missions)  holds  its  own 
special  challenges  and  opportunities.  I  look  forward  to  working  with  all  of  you  as 
we  seek  to  respond  in  Jesus'  name  to  the  tasks  and  opportunities  which  will  con- 
stitute our  ministry  together  in  this  portion  of  His  vineyard.  All  praise  to  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ!

BRAZIL  PARTNERSHIP  REPORT 

1990  was  an  outstanding  year  in  the  partnership  between  our  association  and 
the  Northeastern  Association  in  the  state  of  Sao  Paulo,  Brazil. 

We  had  nine  team  members  leave  for  Brazil  in  early  May.  They  were  Mark  Boone, 
Mike  Bowers,  Rick  Felts,  Ken  Jones  (Team  Leader),  Jenny  Nelson,  Doug  Rollins, 
Ann  Smith  and  Rick  and  Leslie  Speas. 

Although  they  encountered  some  difficult  times  of  sickness  during  the  two  week 
trip,  more  than  300  first  time  conversion  decisions  were  made  along  with  other 
decisions  of  lifetime  commitment  to  the  gospel  ministry. 

We  continue  to  praise  the  Lord  that  He  is  using  us  in  a  great  way  and  we  offer 
our  gratitude  to  you,  the  people  of  Brushy  Mountain  Association,  for  allowing  us 
to  go  as  your  representatives  and  as  ambassadors  for  Christ. 

The  planning  stages  for  our  next  trip  in  1991  have  begun.  We  think  there  is 
potential  for  a  maximum  of  20  team  members.  The  opportunity  is  growing  because 
we  have  helped  the  Brazilian  churches  to  establish  several  missions  and  several 
preaching  points  that  hopefully  will  result  in  additional  missions  and  churches. 

There  is  one  major  question  that  must  be  asked  and  answered.  IF  YOU  CAN- 
NOT GO,  IS  THERE  ANYWAY  YOU  CAN  HELP  SOMEONE  ELSE  GO?  The  an- 
swer is  a  resounding  YES!  You  and  your  church  can  do  several  things:  (1)  You 
can  pray  constantly  that  God  will  touch  the  hearts  of  those  who  should  go;  (2) 
You  can  keep  this  mission  opportunity  before  the  people  of  your  church;  (3)  You 
and  your  people  can  receive  love  offerings  at  regular  intervals  to  help  offset  the 
cost  of  those  who  volunteer.  You  can  also  receive  offerings  so  the  team  can  pur- 
chase New  Testaments,  tracts,  materials  that  share  the  gospel,  and  even  some 
gifts  and  attention  getters  for  the  kids. 

What  a  privilege  we  have  in  this  Brazil  partnership.  Please  increase  your  sup- 
port in  all  areas  for  the  glory  of  our  great  God. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
Jim  Gore,  Brazil  Partnership  Chairman 

MODERATOR'S  REPORT 

"Thank  you"  is  an  expression  of  gratitude  from  one's  heart,  a  grateful  acknowl- 
edgement of  something  received  by  or  done  for  one.  As  moderator  of  the  Brushy 
Mountain  Baptist  Association,  my  heart  is  filled  with  thankfulness.  I  wish  to  thank 
Dr.  Bill  McKinney,  our  Director  of  Missions,  for  his  help  in  the  work.  I  thank  Teresa 
Taylor,  our  secretary  for  her  assistance  in  the  work.  Thank  you  to  all  the  dedicated 
leaders  in  our  associational  work  for  capable,  efficient,  effective,  and  spiritual  lead- 
ership. Thank  you  for  your  prayers,  giving,  and  service  through  the  association. 
The  churches  of  the  Brushy  Mountain  Association  are  made  up  of  a  family  of 
believers  in  fellowship  on  mission  for  God.  We  are  family  and  I  thank  God  for  the 
Brushy  Mountain  Association  family. 

My  parting  message  to  you  as  moderator  of  the  Brushy  Mountain  Association 
is  to  GO  with  the  GOSPEL  to  all  people.  Let  us  be  BOLD  MISSIONARIES.  As 
we  work  in  the  part  of  God's  great  vineyard  He  has  assigned  to  us,  and  feel  His 
abiding  presence  in  our  work,  we  occupy,  "achri  hou  elthei"  (till  He  comes).  As 


-54- 


we  ponder  the  promise  of  His  coming,  we  say,  "Marnatha"  (Lord,  Come!). 

I  thank  all  of  you  for  your  friendship  and  for  your  faithfulness  to  the  Lord,  His 
Word,  and  His  work.

SUNDAY  SCHOOL  REPORT 

Many  Sunday  School  events  are  in  the  planning  stages  for  our  association.  At 
the  present  a  new  associational  Sunday  School  ASSIST  team  is  being  formed. 
As  soon  as  this  team  is  together,  Phil  Stone  from  the  Sunday  School  Department 
of  the  State  Convention  will  be  coming  up  to  help  train  these  workers.  The  ASSIST 
team  will  consist  of  workers  in  Preschool,  Children,  Youth,  Adults,  and  Outreach. 
After  this  team  is  well  prepared,  they  will  be  conducting  Sunday  School  workshops 
in  our  association.  Our  goal  is  for  the  first  workshop  to  be  in  the  Spring.  This  ASSIST 
team,  as  well  as  myself,  will  be  available  to  help  individual  churches  in  any  way 
in  their  Sunday  Schools. 

This  fall  there  will  be  an  associational  workshop  for  all  Pastors  and  Sunday 
School  Directors.  The  workshop  will  be  on  outreach  through  the  Sunday  School. 
This  workshop  is  scheduled  for  October  25  at  7:00  p.m.  at  Oakwoods  Baptist 
Church.  Bob  Wise  of  Lincolnton  will  be  the  guest  speaker. 

We  want  to  help  individual  churches  schedule  Sunday  School  growth  campaigns 
and  in  a  couple  of  years  we  may  have  an  Associational  Sunday  School  Growth 
Campaign.  Please  pray  as  we  plan  and  work  to  have  many  association  events 
to  help  our  Sunday  School.

SCHOOL  OF  CHRISTIAN  STUDIES  REPORT 

I  would  like  to  begin  my  report  by  paying  tribute  to  my  predecessor,  Rev.  Paul 
Shoupe,  who  has  done  an  admirable  job  as  our  School  of  Christian  Studies  Direc- 
tor. His  commitment  to  learning  is  exceeded  only  by  his  commitment  to  his  Lord. 
I  hope  to  continue  the  high  quality  educational  opportunities  that  have  been  a  trade- 
mark of  Paul  Shoupe. 

In  an  attempt  to  generate  more  interest  in  the  course  offerings,  I  have  chosen 
to  offer  something  a  little  different  this  coming  associational  year.  We  feel  more 
participation  on  the  part  of  the  laity  in  the  churches  would  be  to  everyone's  ad- 
vantage. We  will  offer  this  year  a  basic  course  from  the  Ecclesiology  area  -  EC-53 
-  "How  Southern  Baptists  Work  Together".  This  is  not  a  college  level  course  and 
the  only  textbook  is  the  study  guide.  There  will  be  no  test  or  other  graded  re- 
quirements. Hopefully,  this  will  help,  dispel  the  misconceptions  that  exist  about 
the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  and  member  churches'  relationship  to  it.  This 
course  will  be  offered  Thursday,  October  1 1  and  each  succeeding  Thursday  night 
through  December  13.  Our  place  of  meeting  will  be  Welcome  Home  Baptist  Church 
beginning  at  7:00  p.m.  each  Thursday  evening.  The  teacher  will  be  Rev.  Rick  Felts. 

-55- 


In  an  attempt  to  combat  what  seems  to  be  a  common  and  serious  problem  among 
our  churches,  trained  Sunday  School  teachers,  we  will  be  offering  a  course  from 
the  college  level  curriculum.  You  may  take  this  course  for  credit  or  without  credit. 
It  is  from  the  practical  area  and  is  entitled  RE-0304  -  "Teaching  the  Bible  to  Adults". 
This  course  will  be  offered  this  winter  beginning  Tuesday,  January  8  through  Tues- 
day, March  5,  1991 . 1  hope  each  church  will  encourage  their  adult  Sunday  School 
teachers  to  participate  in  this  training  tool.  This  course  will  also  begin  at  7:00  p.m. 
each  evening  and  will  conclude  at  9:00  p.m.  Place  and  teacher  to  be  announced 
later.

PROPERTIES  COMMITTEE  REPORT 

The  heating  system  at  the  Associational  residence  gave  significant  problems 
during  the  past  year  and  it  was  necessary  to  over-spend  the  budgeted  amounts 
in  order  to  correct  these  problems.  For  that  reason,  no  improvements  were  made 
to  associational  property  this  year.  We  did  discover  that  unforeseen  deterioration 
of  the  exterior  trim  has  taken  place  and  will  require  correction  during  the  coming 
year.  The  committee  also  was  made  aware  of  the  need  for  conferencing  space 
in  the  office  building.  The  office  is  quite  crowded  and  needs  a  meeting  room. 
Various  alternatives  were  explored  and  the  committee  recommends  the  following: 

1.  That  the  parsonage  appearance  be  upgraded  by  ceiling  the  back  porch 
and  replacing  a  section  of  wall  plate  which  is  decayed,  that  the  exterior 
trim  be  covered  with  vinyl  and  one  section  of  decayed  facing  board  on 
the  front  be  replaced,  and  that  rusted  guttering  be  replaced.  The  cost  of 
this  work  will  be  $2,569.00. 

2.  (a)  That  the  present  carport  on  the  office  building  be  enclosed  so  as  to  make 

a  20'  x  24'  conference  room.  This  would  necessitate  removal  of  the  pres- 
ent floor  and  repouring  it  so  as  to  provide  proper  alignment  with  the  re- 
mainder of  the  building.  Present  heating-cooling  equipment  is  adequate 
for  the  addition.  The  cost  of  this  work  will  be  $11,299.00. 
(b)  That  the  exterior  trim  on  the  office  building  be  vinyl  covered  and  rusted 
guttering  replaced.  The  cost  of  this  work  will  be  $2,092.00  (estimated). 


-56- 


3.  That  a  two-car  pre-fabricated  metal  carport  be  placed  on  the  southeast 
corner  of  the  parking  lot  adjacent  to  the  associational  residence.  The  cost 
will  be  $1,989.75. 

4.  That  the  churches  of  the  Association  be  asked  to  receive  a  special  offer- 
ing or  to  make  a  special  budget  allotment  to  provide  funds  for  the  cost 
of  these  improvements  (total  $17,946.75).  The  committee  recommends 
that  the  trustees  be  authorized  to  borrow  such  funds  as  may  be  necessary 
to  complete  the  project  after  utilizing  such  moneys  from  the  general  fund 
as  may  be  available  without  jeopardizing  the  on-going  ministries  of  the 
Association.  It  is  the  committee's  hope  that  response  from  the  churches 
will  be  such  that  borrowing  will  be  minimal  if  it  is  necessary  at  all. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
Clyde  Bumgarner,  Chairman 
Carlos  Pardue,  Don  Johnson 

This  proposal  has  been  examined  by  the  Associational  Missions  Development 
Council.  The  Council  joins  in  recommending  the  improvements  proposed  in  this 
report. 

GENERAL  BOARD  REPORT 

In  January  1990,  I  began  a  four  year  term  as  a  General  Board  member  and 
have  attended  two  meetings  of  the  board,  one  in  January  and  again  in  May.  My 
responsibilities  include  serving  as  a  member  of  the  Business  Management  Com- 
mittee which  is  chaired  by  Mr.  Gene  Floyd  of  Wrightsville  Beach,  North  Carolina. 
The  next  General  Board  meeting  is  scheduled  for  September  of  this  year.  There 
are  ten  committees  that  handle  various  areas  of  responsibility  of  the  General  Board. 

In  North  Carolina,  overall  giving  to  the  Cooperative  Program  is  lagging  behind 
this  year  versus  1989.  Part  of  the  reason  for  this  may  be  the  turmoil  between  fac- 
tions within  our  Southern  Baptist  Convention.  At  our  May  meeting,  we  learned 
that  some  of  our  churches  in  North  Carolina  are  contributing  to  the  Cooperative 
Program  and  restricting  to  various  degrees  the  amount  that  they  give  to  the  South- 
ern Baptist  Convention.  Others  give  to  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  and  restrict 
the  amount  of  the  gift  to  be  used  by  the  N.C.  Baptist  State  Convention.  In  this 
state  our  Cooperative  Program  policy  statement  allows  a  church  to  restrict  up  to 
three  items  and  still  count  the  total  contribution  as  going  to  the  Cooperative  Pro- 
gram. One  of  those  three  items  can  be  to  restrict  the  entire  Southern  Baptist  Con- 
vention. There  are  churches  that  do  not  want  to  restrict  everything  in  the  Southern 
Baptist  Convention,  but  they  want  to  change  the  percentage  of  their  money  that 
goes  to  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention.  There  are  churches  on  both  ends  of 
the  spectrum  and  churches  that  vary  all  the  way  in  between. 

As  follows  is  a  brief  summary  of  selected  items  from  the  financial  statements 
of  the  Baptist  State  Convention  that  shows  the  trend  of  giving  by  our  North  Carolina 
churches  through  June  30,  1990.

I  am  told  that  the  national  average  for  Southern  Baptist  Convention  churches 
is  to  give  approximately  8.5%  of  total  receipts  to  the  Cooperative  Program.  The 
Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association  churches  in  total  gave  5.4%  to  the 
Cooperative  Program  in  1989. 

We  know  that  the  Cooperative  Program  is  a  powerful  force  for  sharing  the  gospel 
with  unsaved  people.  Let  us  all  continue  to  pray  that  we  daily  seek  God's  will  for 
our  Southern  Baptist  Convention  and  its  Cooperative  Program.  We  need  to  always 
remember  Jesus'  teaching  as  to  the  second  most  important  commandment,  "that 
we  love  one  another,  as  Jesus  has  loved  us."  If  we  could  just  obey  that  command- 
ment a  little  better  each  day,  we  will  make  greater  progress  for  our  Lord.

BROTHERHOOD  REPORT 

The  Brushy  Mountain  men's  groups  have  completed  a  very  active  year.  Twenty- 
two  groups  participated  in  projects  relating  to  Brotherhood  projects.  The  churches 
involved  were:  Cub  Creek,  Sharon  Walker,  Zion  Hill,  Pleasant  Home,  North 
Wilkesboro,  First,  Boiling  Springs,  Millers  Creek,  Mt.  Pleasant,  Stony  Hill,  Gor- 
don, Hinshaw  Street,  Wilkesboro,  Oakwoods,  Lewis  Fork,  Purlear,  Moravian  Falls, 
Roaring  River,  Beaver  Creek,  Liberty  Grove  and  Welcome  Home. 

Most  all  of  the  groups  sponsored  boys'  R.A.  Five  of  the  men's  groups  took  the 
R.A.'s  camping  and  fishing.  Approximately  one-half  of  the  groups  were  involved 
in  Hugo  clean-up.  Six  groups  provided  firewood  to  the  elderly.  Six  groups  spon- 
sored a  men's  softball  team  in  the  County  Church  League.  Three  groups  selected, 
and  cared  for,  needy  families  at  Christmas.  Gordon's  Brotherhood  raised  funds 
and  purchased  a  van  for  church  use.  Wilkesboro's  Brotherhood  spent  a  weekend 
at  Mills  Home  and  painted  a  cottage.  Doug  Rollins  represented  the  Wilkesboro 
Men  in  a  missionary  trip  to  Brazil.  Eight  Brotherhood  groups  sponsored  youth  trips 
to  Carowinds.  Oakwoods  men's  group  raised  funds  by  washing  155  cars  to  send 
20  youth  to  the  Bailey  Smith  Camp.  Beaver  Creek's  men  replaced  carpet  and  clean- 
ed carpet  in  the  church.  Five  church  men's  groups  participated  in  the  Adopt  a 
Highway  Program.  Three  Brotherhood  groups  took  their  youth  to  college  athletic 
events.  Mt.  Pleasant  Brotherhood  remodeled  an  elderly  couple's  home.  Boiling 
Springs  men  took  the  WMU  ladies  out  to  eat  at  Shatley  Springs. 

These  examples  represent  a  few  of  the  many  hours  spent  by  Brushy  Mountain 
Baptist  Men.

AMERICAN  BIBLE  SOCIETY  REPORT 

In  this  ABS  report  last  year,  there  were  two  particular  challenges  that  have  since 
been  met  with  good  response.  One  was  that  the  level  of  participation  by  churches 
was  declining,  and  the  other  was  the  opportunity  to  send  one  million  Bibles  into 
the  Soviet  Union.  According  to  the  American  Bible  Society  Report  to  the  Denomina- 
tions 1989,  from  which  the  following  information  is  taken,  the  1989  contributions 
from  churches  were  up  32%  to  $2,263,534.  Southern  Baptists,  numbering 
14,722,617  gave  $299,232,  an  average  of  about  two  cents  per  member. 

As  of  the  end  of  1989,  the  "Gifts  of  Love"  program  of  sending  Bibles  and  New 
Testaments  to  the  USSR  and  Eastern  Europe  had  shipped  over  850,000  Scrip- 
ture portions.  The  program  continues  as  they  seek  to  complete  the  commitment 
of  the  $3  million  to  provide  one  million  Bibles. 

As  was  true  last  year,  at  the  end  of  1989  the  ABS  was  faced  with  having  more 
requests  —  $50  million  —  than  pledges  —  $34  million  —  from  member  Bible  Soci- 
eties. They  predict  that  over  the  next  three  years  the  demand  will  exceed  the  supply 
of  funds  by  $60  million.  The  ABS  is  asking  churches  to  consider  it  in  a  "full  and 
conscious  partnership"  by  sharing  in  the  Scripture  needs  of  the  world's  peoples. 
Presently,  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  participates  in  the  ABS  Partners-in- 
Mission  program  in  the  following  selected  countries:  India,  Tanzania,  Brazil, 
Nigeria,  Mexico,  Zambia,  Ghana,  Thailand,  Ecuador,  Peru,  Angola,  Venezuela, 
Chile,  Philippines,  Haiti,  and  Panama. 

Last  year  Bible  Societies  throughout  the  world  distributed  666,734,464  items 
of  Scripture.  Included  in  last  year's  accomplishments  is  that  twenty-one  languages 
received  at  least  one  book  of  the  Bible  for  the  first  time.  Now  1,928  languages 
have  at  least  one  book  of  the  Bible.  There  are  currently  605  additional  languages 
(424  for  the  first  time)  in  which  United  Bible  Society  translation  projects  proceed. 

Of  the  estimated  3,000  to  6,000  spoken  languages  in  the  world,  only  78  have 
developed  literature.  That  means  the  opportunity  of  literacy  training,  and,  hence, 
sharing  the  gospel,  is  enhanced.  Last  year,  60,118,481  copies  of  these  special- 
ized New  Reader  Scriptures  were  distributed  worldwide.  Several  governments  are 
cooperating  with  Bible  Societies  in  these  literacy  programs. 

Changes  of  direction  for  the  ABS  include  an  attempt  to  recruit  above  the  cur- 
rent 5%  level  of  denominational  leadership  representation  on  the  ABS  Board  of 
Managers.  There  is  also  a  plan  to  develop  a  mailing  list  of  600  future  church  leaders 
in  seminaries  (Seminary  Promotion  program),  and  increase  it  by  approximately 
1000.  The  intent  is  to  mail  the  ABS  newsletter,  The  Bible  Cause,  to  seminarians 
who  will  eventually  help  educate  local  churches  on  the  effectiveness  of  Bible  trans- 
lation, distribution,  and  literacy  training.  Finally,  the  new  Bible-a-Month  club  of- 
fers individuals  or  churches  the  opportunity  to  contribute  a  relatively  small  amount 
monthly  and  receive  the  ABS  newsletter  and  discounts  on  Bibles.

FRUITLAND  BAPTIST  BIBLE  INSTITUTE  REPORT 

W.  Mack  Roberts  was  elected  President  of  Fruitland  Baptist  Bible  Institute  by 
the  General  Board,  September  27,  1989.  The  transition  began  October  1,  1989. 
He  succeeded  Alex  Booth  who  faithfully  served  Fruitland  for  twenty-five  years  as 
Dean,  Director,  and  President. 

Work  will  soon  begin  on  additional  housing  for  married  students.  This  continues 
to  be  a  pressing  need  with  several  families  on  the  waiting  list  for  an  apartment 
at  any  given  time.  It  is  believed  that  this  project  can  be  completed  with  funds  on 
hand  and  current  gifts. 

There  has  been  a  12%  increase  in  enrollment  over  last  year  with  one  of  the 
largest  July  classes  ever  enrolled.  The  October  potential  looks  good  at  the  time 
of  this  report.  Plans  are  also  underway  for  evening  classes  to  begin  with  the  Fall 
Quarter.  It  is  hoped  that  many  additional  students  will  be  able  to  enroll  who  other- 
wise would  find  it  difficult  to  attend. 

Three  additional  courses  are  now  available  to  our  students.  These  are  Clinical 
Pastoral  Education,  Youth  Education,  and  Spiritual  Formation.  In  addition,  the 
school  now  has  an  "In-service  Ministry"  which  provides  an  opportunity  for  the 
students  to  work  for  twenty  weeks  with  a  pastor  in  a  church  setting. 

The  President  and  Fruitland  Board  wish  to  re-emphasize  their  intention  to  re- 
main true  to  the  original  purpose  of  the  school  which  was  to  provide  Christian  train- 
ing for  everyone  who  is  serious  about  preparing  for  Christian  service  regardless 
of  educational  background;  and  further,  to  remain  a  Bible-centered  institution  while 
remaining  true  to  her  purpose.

HOME  MISSIONS  REPORT 

The  Home  Mission  Board  is  committed  as  ever  to  reaching  the  goals  of  Bold 
Missions  Thrust,  namely  that  there  will  be  50,000  congregations  winning  and  bap- 
tizing at  least  500,000  people  per  year  and  that  there  will  be  at  least  5,000  home 
missionaries  by  the  year  2000  A.D.  This  past  year  was  filled  with  many  victories 
and  challenges  as  work  occurred  to  make  these  goals  a  reality.  All  the  praise  and 
glory  go  to  God. 

Gifts  totalling  $32,993,023  were  received  through  the  Annie  Armstrong  Easter 
Offering,  which  is  a  9.93%  increase  over  1988.  The  missions  personnel  force  of 
3,808  helped  start  1 ,467  churches  and  795  missions,  and,  along  with  the  chaplains 
and  Atlanta  staff,  recorded  81,869  professions  of  faith  and  7,832  decisions  for 
special  service.  The  number  of  volunteers  on  mission  reached  an  all  time  high 
with  56,972  and  there  are  now  2,132  endorsed  chaplains.

Let  us  pray  for  Larry  Lewis,  President  of  the  Home  Mission  Board,  the  staff  of 
the  Board,  our  Home  Missionaries  and  our  volunteers  in  Home  Mission  work  as 
we  enter  a  new  year  of  reaching  our  beloved  land  for  Christ.

FOREIGN  MISSIONS  REPORT 

As  we  end  the  1980's  and  begin  the  last  decade  of  this  century,  let  us  glance 
back  for  a  moment  to  see  our  accomplishments. 

In  1980,  we  had  2800  missionaries  in  85  countries.  We  had  about  1000  volun- 
teers. As  we  begin  the  1 990's,  we  have  3780  missionaries  in  1 20  countries.  Volun- 
teers have  grown  by  leaps  and  bounds  with  some  10,287  working  hand  in  hand 
with  the  missionaries  on  foreign  ground.  There  have  been  some  20,000  new  chur- 
ches or  chapels  started  with  around  227,564  new  Baptisms  each  year. 

During  the  80's,  the  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Association  has  sent  some  45 
volunteers  to  10  different  countries  and  all  have  returned  excited  about  mission 
work. 

Let  us  not  dwell  too  long  in  the  past.  The  future  is  here  and  we  have  many  goals 
to  reach  during  the  time  ahead.  With  all  the  changes  taking  place  in  Europe,  pos- 
sibilities of  mission  work  should  improve  in  the  Communist  Countries  and  should 
make  our  Bold  Missions  Goals  reachable.  Let  us  continue  to  give  to  our  Lottie 
Moon  Christmas  Offering  so  the  money  will  be  available  when  needed  to  reach 
the  lost.

STEWARDSHIP  REPORT 

Witnessing-Giving  Life  is  a  joint  emphasis  for  1990-95  by  the  evangelism  sec- 
tion of  the  Home  Mission  Board  and  the  Stewardship  Commission.  Its  primary  ob- 
jective is  to  challenge  Southern  Baptists  to  grow  in  their  commitment  to  these  two 
vital  aspects  of  the  Christian  life,  witnessing  and  giving. 

A  Witness-Giving  seminar  was  held  on  May  29,  1990.  J.  W.  Hutchens  and  O.D. 
Martin,  Jr.  of  the  Evangelism  and  Stewardship  divisions  of  the  N.C.  Baptist  State 
Convention  led  the  seminar.  The  seminar  was  attended  by  thirty-one  people  from 
twelve  churches. 

In  1990-91  the  emphasis  is  for  Church  Witnessing-Giving  Life  Commitment  Re- 
vivals which  will  include  Bible  Study  on  the  witnessing-giving  life  and  a  series  of 
revival  services.

WOMAN'S  MISSIONARY  UNION  REPORT 

First  of  all  I  would  like  to  say  thank  you  to  the  Associational  WMU  Council  and 
each  leader  in  our  individual  churches  for  your  prayers,  help  and  support;  to  Mae 
Duncan  for  the  good  job  she  did  in  leading  us;  and  to  Dr.  W.  C.  McKinney  and 
Teresa  Taylor  for  their  help  and  support.  Because  of  all  of  you  we  were  recog- 
nized as  a  Distinguished  Associational  WMU  at  the  N.C.  Annual  Meeting. 

REACH!  TEACH!  TOUCH! 

REACH  -  Our  WMU  this  year  has  REACHED  out  to  the  hungry  by  giving  $61 .00, 
which  was  collected  on  Baptist  Women's  World  Day  of  Prayer,  to  World  Hunger 
and  by  collecting  non-perishable  goods  for  Wilkes  Cares.  We  also  collected  $275.00 
for  the  North  Carolina  Correctional  Center  for  Women  to  be  used  in  preparing  a 
Christmas  Box  for  each  inmate. 

TEACH  -  Our  WMU  TAUGHT  the  age  level  leaders  in  our  churches  at  a  workshop 
held  in  the  fall.  We  taught  a  Lifestyle  Witnessing  Seminar  in  the  winter  in  prepara- 
tion for  our  Here's  Hope  Revivals.  We  joined  with  the  Brotherhood  in  teaching 
the  Foreign  Mission  Study  on  Japan.  We  enjoyed  samples  of  Japanese  food  and 
a  great  study  taught  by  Margie  Laney,  Director  of  Missions  of  the  Stone  Mountain 
Baptist  Association.  In  the  Spring,  we  again  joined  with  the  Brotherhood  to  hear 
our  Home  Mission  Study  taught  by  Judy  Branch  of  Boone. 

We  held  a  prayer  luncheon  for  Baptist  Women's  World  Day  of  Prayer  and  a 
Prayer  Retreat  in  the  Spring  for  preparation  for  our  Here's  Hope  Revivals. 

TOUCH  -  Our  WMU  touched  many  lives  by  being  volunteers  on  the  mission 
field  at  the  hospitals,  rest  homes,  nursing  homes,  Wilkes  Cares,  many  communi- 
ty activities  and  in  our  individual  churches.  By  having  an  Associational  Apprecia- 
tion Day,  we  gave  each  of  you  the  opportunity  to  express  your  appreciation  to 
Dr.  and  Mrs.  W.  C.  McKinney  and  Teresa  Taylor  for  the  GREAT  JOB  they  do. 
The  following  is  a  letter  received  of  lives  being  TOUCHED: 

"I  received  your  gift  today.  And  I  want  you  to  know  that  I  thank 
you  with  all  my  heart.  I  am  an  inmate  here  in  Raleigh  at  the  North 
Carolina  Correctional  Center  for  Women  serving  time.  I  really  en- 
joyed my  gift  from  you  all.  And  may  God  bless  each  and  every 
one  of  you  with  Peace,  Joy,  and  Goodwill.  You  just  don't  know 
what  you  have  done  for  all  of  us  here  and  I  speak  for  all." 

"And  the  King  shall  answer  and  say  unto  them,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Inasmuch 

as  ye  have  done  it  unto  one  of  the  least  of  these  my  brethren,  ye  have  done  it 

unto  me."  (Matthew  25:40)

BAPTIST  HOSPITAL  REPORT 

"The  largest  health-science  building  program  ever  in  North  Carolina  has  changed 
the  landscape  on  Hawthorne  Hill,  and  the  changes  continue  in  rapid  succession .  .  . 
One  thing  that  hasn't  changed  is  the  institution's  tradition  for  delivery  of  compas- 
sionate health  care.  That  will  never  change."  This  statement,  from  Dr.  Charles 
P.  Nicholson,  Jr.,  Baptist  Hospital  Trustee  and  Chairman  of  the  Medical  Center 
Board  of  Directors,  is  both  a  report  and  a  commitment. 

Another  building  in  this  $190  million  expansion  program  has  recently  been  com- 
pleted and  occupied.  The  Clinical  Sciences  Building  will  house  most  of  the  Medical 
Center's  ambulatory  services,  and  has  been  termed  a  "medical  supermarket," 
where  patients  may  do  "one-stop  shopping."  The  building  will  also  accommodate 
an  Ambulatory  Surgery  Unit,  Medical  Center  Administrative  Offices,  and  other  func- 
tions. Nearing  completion,  is  the  Day  Care  Center  for  children  of  medical  center 
employees.  Under  construction,  is  an  addition  to  the  MRI  (Magnetic  Resonance 
Imaging)  Building,  and  a  significant  addition  to  the  Patient/Visitor  Parking  Deck. 
Construction  on  the  Center  on  Aging  Building  is  scheduled  to  begin  in  early  1991 
with  the  completion  date  set  for  the  spring  of  1993. 

The  purpose  of  all  these  new  facilities,  according  to  hospital  president,  Len  B. 
Preslar,  Jr.,  is  to  "enable  us  to  respond  to  patient  needs  better  than  ever  before." 
In  addition  to  continuation  and  improvement  of  many  established  procedures,  sev- 
eral new  diagnostic  and  treatment  programs  have  been  started  recently.  The  Organ 
Transplant  Program  added  a  new  dimension  when  it  performed  the  first  single- 
lung  transplant  in  North  Carolina.  Bone  marrow  transplants  are  also  being  per- 
formed now  in  our  Baptist  Hospital.  A  Cranio-facial  Clinic,  to  correct  major  defor- 
mities of  the  skull  and  upper  face  during  the  first  year  of  life,  opened  recently. 
New  laser  technology  provides  an  improved  method  for  clearing  out  atherosclerotic 
deposits  in  the  carotid  arteries  of  the  neck.  New  surgical  techniques  make  possi- 
ble better  treatment  of  complicated  retinal  detachment.  Orthopedic  Surgeons 
began  use  of  the  llizarov  Technique  for  the  repair  and  lengthening  of  broken  bones. 
New  approaches  are  being  used  effectively  in  the  treatment  of  children  with 
Cerebral  Palsy.  Bowman  Gray/Baptist  Hospital  is  the  only  medical  center  in  the 
nation  using  and  evaluating  Clinodean,  a  non-narcotic  pain  killer  which  has  pro- 
ven effective  in  controlling  pain  following  surgery  and  for  cancer  patients. 

Through  these  various  services  we  provided  210,456  days  of  care  for  22,607 
patient  admissions  last  year.  In  addition  to  these,  there  were  approximately  388,000 
ambulatory  patient  visits  in  the  various  clinics,  the  Emergency  Department,  the 
Day  Hospital,  and  in  Ambulatory  Surgery.  These  patients  came  from  all  across 
North  Carolina  and  from  thirty-four  other  states.  Also  the  number  of  patients  be- 
ing referred  to  us  from  foreign  countries  is  increasing  as  the  reputation  of  the 
Medical  Center  spreads  throughout  the  world. 

The  Department  of  Pastoral  Care  continues  to  strengthen  its  reputation  both 
as  a  service  agency  and  as  a  teaching  facility.  Last  year,  the  department  provided 
more  than  29,000  ministries  to  hospital  patients,  almost  19,000  services  to  families, 
and  more  than  14,000  services  for  hospital  and  church  staff  members  and  their 
families.  The  Minister's  Care  Plan,  a  joint  program  with  the  Baptist  State  Conven- 
tion, had  1,446  sessions  with  more  than  200  different  clergy  families  last  year. 
The  new  Missionary  Counseling  and  Support  Services  Program  saw  48  individuals 


-63- 


in  its  first  six  months.  The  Division  of  Clinical  Pastoral  Education/Chaplaincy  had 
53  students  enrolled. 

During  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1990,  the  hospital  received  $692,946.24 
through  the  Cooperative  Program  and  $271 ,361 .24  through  the  Homes  and  Hospi- 
tal Offering  and  direct  gifts.  Cooperative  Program  Funds  are  used  for  the  Depart- 
ment of  Pastoral  Care,  and  other  church  gifts  help  to  provide  Benevolent  Care 
for  financially  needy  patients.  The  hospital  staff  and  patients  are  most  grateful 
for  this  continuing  financial  support.

ANNUITY  BOARD  REPORT 

The  Annuity  Board  of  our  Southern  Baptist  Convention  is  a  useful  service  to 
the  churches.  Seventeen  hundred  thirty-four  new  annuitants  were  added  to  the 
roll,  and  retirement  and  relief  benefits  of  $83,835,300  were  paid  to  20,130  per- 
sons, according  to  the  Seventy-Second  Annual  Report  of  the  Annuity  Board.  In 
July  1989,  trustees  of  the  Board  unanimously  elected  Paul  W.  Powell  president, 
effective  March  1,  1990. 

Video  presentations  available  at  the  associational  office  are: 

1.  "How  to  Determine  Financial  Support  for  Ministers  and  Church  Staff 
Members". 

2.  "How  to  Build  an  Adequate  Retirement  Income". 

3.  "Helping  Our  Family,  An  Annuitant  Story". 

4.  "Choices:  Benefits  that  Work  for  You". 

Churches  need  to  consider  their  responsibility  in  this  area  of  stewardship  and 
do  as  the  Lord  would  lead  them.

were  introduced  to  the  125  in  attendance.  Each  was  challenged  to  become  in- 
volved in  this  new  avenue  of  ministry.  These  health  care  organizations  have  three 
purposes:  Christian  Fellowship,  growth,  and  mission  service  from  community  serv- 
ice to  worldwide  involvement  we  seek  to  use  our  skills  in  sharing  Christ's  love. 
We  welcome  all  health  care  professionals  in  North  Carolina  Baptist  Churches  to 
join  our  organizations.  We  want  to  be  involved  in  your  community  in  ways  that 
your  ministry  may  be  increased  through  this  service.  If  you  are  interested  in  the 
Medical-Dental  Bus  outreach,  call  Baptist  Men's  Director,  David  Langford  at

On  Saturday,  April  28,  1990  a  one  day  training  session  was  conducted  for  Dis- 
aster Relief  Team  Members  at  the  Baptist  Building  in  Cary.  The  following  ses- 
sions were  offered: 

I.  Crisis  Counseling  -  Caring  people  who  are  good  listeners  and  have  had 

some  counseling  experience. 
II.  Recovery  Services  -  Construction  skills  would  be  helpful,  but  not  required; 

clean  up  is  much  of  what  this  involves. 

III.  Radio  Operations  -  Need  licensed  ham  radio  operators. 

IV.  Feeding  Unit  Crew  -  no  skills  necessary. 

V.  Truck  Drivers  -  must  be  licensed. 

VI.  Developing  Associational  Disaster  Response  -  This  is  especially  for  Direc- 
tor's of  Missions  and  Associational  Brotherhood  Directors. 

Your  ideas  and  interest  in  Disaster  Relief  are  welcomed.  If  you  are  interested, 
call  919/756-4332  or  919/355-2127  or  write  Mr.  Richard  Crapps,  State  Disaster 
Relief  Coordinator,  2401  Memorial  Drive,  Greenville,  NC  27834. 

OVERSEAS  MISSIONS 

The  year  1990  holds  great  expectations  for  NC  Baptist  Men.  Many  have  com- 
mitted to  be  used  in  service.  This  year  High  School  Baptist  Young  Men  are  in- 
volved in  a  mission  trip  to  Peru.  We  are  being  challenged  as  never  before  to  use 
our  gifts  as  servants  around  the  world.  We  are  given  talents  to  be  used,  not  to 
hide  under  a  "bushel".  Whatever  our  talent  or  gift  is,  God  has  a  special  place 
to  use  it,  and  the  way  is  already  being  prepared.  What  you  and  I  must  do  is  be 
willing  to  listen  and  answer  that  "still  small  voice". 

A  request  for  a  team  to  go  to  Budapest,  Hungary  to  work  at  the  seminary  there 
has  been  received.  This  is  a  new  opportunity  to  share  with  the  Baptist  of  Europe. 
1990  will  be  and  has  been  for  NC  Baptist  as  we  plunge  full  force  into  a  new  part- 
nership with  Poland.  Almost  every  time  slot  has  been  filled  for  1990.  There  are 
many  people  across  our  state  who  are  excited  about  the  prospects  of  this  part- 
nership. This  will  be  challenging  from  the  standpoint  that  we  do  not  have  career 
missionaries  there.  Please  be  prayerful  about  God's  work  around  the  world  and 
where  you  and  I  are  called  to  be  involved.  Please  be  in  prayer  for  those  from  North 
Carolina  that  are  in  other  countries  in  the  service  of  your  land.  We  have  people 
in  Togo,  Ivory  Coast,  Botswana,  Brazil,  Ethiopia,  Mexico,  and  the  list  goes  on 
around  the  globe.  FIND  YOUR  PLACE.  If  you  have  questions  about  overseas  mis- 
sions, write  Mr.  Skip  Greene,  State  Overseas  Missions  Projects  Coordinator,  102 
Appalachian  Drive,  Boone,  NC  28607.

ASSOCIATIONS  MUSIC  REPORT 

On  September  18,  1990  members  of  several  church  choirs  plan  to  participate 
together  in  a  joint  choir.  This  choir  will  be  in  conjunction  with  a  Discipleship  Train- 
ing Rally.  I  have  contacted  our  State  Music  Director  and  plans  are  being  made 
to  have  a  Music  Leadership  Conference  later  this  year  when  the  State  Music  De- 
partment can  help  out.  The  Zone  Directors  for  this  year  are:  Galyn  Page,  Charles 
Billings,  Kay  Stillman  and  Gregg  Wright.

MEMBERSHIP  COMMITTEE  REPORT 

Northside  Baptist  Church  (formerly  Northside  Chapel  -  mission  of  First  Baptist 
Church,  North  Wilkesboro)  was  formally  constituted  as  a  Southern  Baptist  Church 
on  May  20,  1990.  The  charter  membership  roll  included  forty-two  persons.  The 
first  formal  action  after  its  formation  was  to  call  the  Reverend  Hobert  Key  as  pastor; 
the  second  action  was  to  request  membership  in  Brushy  Mountain  Baptist  Associa- 
tion. Since  that  time  the  congregation  has  been  in  fraternal  relationship  and  in 
financial  support  of  the  Association. 

-66- 


Since  Northside  Baptist  Church  has  met  the  membership  requirements  of  the 
Association,  the  Membership  Committee  recommends  that  the  congregation  be 
received  under  the  watchcare  of  the  Association.

EVANGELISM  REPORT 

"HERE'S  HOPE.  JESUS  CARES  FOR  YOU."  That  was  the  theme  for  the  year 
just  ended  in  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention.  That  was  the  theme  for  the  North 
Carolina  Baptist  State  Convention.  That  was  the  theme  for  the  Brushy  Mountain 
Baptist  Association.  That  was  the  theme  for  the  vast  majority  of  the  churches  in 
our  association.  In  reviewing  the  year  we  are  encouraged  at  the  good  participa- 
tion in  evangelism  this  past  year.  There  were  certainly  two  highlights  in  my  mind: 
The  first  Annual  Evangelism  Conference  that  was  held  at  Millers  Creek  Baptist 
Church  in  October  of  1989.  This  was  the  official  "kick  off"  for  "Here's  Hope". 
This  was  a  two  day  event  that  featured  outstanding  speakers  and  music.  Our  guests 
were  Dr.  Victor  Cole  of  the  Evangelism  Department  of  our  State  Convention;  Rev. 
Wesley  Grant,  a  pastor  from  the  Asheville  area;  Mr.  Bo  Mitchell,  with  the  Home 
Mission  Board,  and  Rev.  Raymond  Williams,  pastor  of  Southside  Baptist  Church 
in  Crestview,  Florida. 

Many  of  our  churches  took  advantage  of  the  many  materials  that  were  available 
to  them  to  help  in  the  planning  and  the  carrying  out  of  the  simultaneous  revival 
emphasis.  Many  churches  participated  in  Scripture  distribution,  people  searches, 
soul  winners  commitment  day,  personal  evangelism  training,  special  prayer 
meetings  and  other  evangelistic  activities.  When  the  revival  time  came  many  chur- 
ches really  did  experience  revival.  We  praise  God  and  give  Him  the  honor  and  glory. 

In  addition  to  the  simultaneous  revival  emphasis  some  of  our  churches  worked 
in  many  other  areas  to  make  this  a  good  year  for  evangelism.  Much  of  the  work 
in  evangelism  was  done  among  the  children  and  the  youth.  Vacation  Bible  Schools 
were  especially  evangelistic  this  year.  Many  churches  reported  good  results  in 
their  Bible  Schools.  Several  churches  sponsored  various  youth  rallies  and  other 
activities  that  had  evangelism  as  their  goal. 

All  the  reports  are  not  in  and  we  do  not  know  exactly  how  the  association  as 
a  whole  fared  but  in  talking  to  individual  churches  it  appears  that  the  number  of 
baptisms  will  be  up  considerably  this  year. 

Evangelism  was  the  emphasis  of  the  Brazilian  mission  trip.  Nine  people  were 
involved  in  this  year's  trip.  There  were  over  three  hundred  professions  of  faith 
reported  and  those  that  went  came  back  with  a  renewed  zeal  for  doing  evangelism 
here  in  our  own  "Jerusalem". 

The  Apostle  Paul  said  that  we  cannot  rest  upon  the  laurels  of  our  past  perform- 
ances but  we  are  to  forget  those  things  and  press  forward  toward  the  mark  for 
the  prize  of  the  high  calling  of  God  in  Christ  Jesus. 

In  light  of  that  thought  be  reminded  of  the  need  to  continue  to  think,  pray,  plan, 
and  implement  ways  of  reaching  Jerusalem,  Judea,  Samaria,  and  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  earth. 


-67- 


The  convention  emphasis  for  1990-91  is  "WITNESSING/GIVING  LIFE".  This 
is  a  five  year  emphasis  calling  for  commitments  by  Southern  Baptists  to  grow  in 
Christian  witnessing  and  giving.  This  involves  a  lifestyle  response  that  makes  it 
possible  for  the  believer  to  most  effectively  present  Christ  to  a  lost  world  and  to 
make  a  Bold  Mission  Thrust  to  witness  to  that  world. 

"WITNESSING/GIVING  LIFE"  will  be  the  theme  of  the  second  annual  Evange- 
lism Conference  to  be  held  again  at  Millers  Creek  Baptist  Church  on  October  22 
and  23.  Guest  speakers  on  Monday  night  will  be  Dr.  Bobby  Sunderland  of  the 
Home  Mission  Board  and  Dr.  Charles  Fuller,  Pastor  at  the  First  Baptist  Church 
in  Roanoke,  Virginia.  Singers  for  Monday  night  will  be  the  Wilkesboro  Baptist 
Church  Choir  and  Mrs.  Anna  Marie  Benge  of  Welcome  Home  Baptist  Church. 
Guest  speakers  on  Tuesday  night  will  be  Dr.  J.  W.  Hutchens,  Director  of  our  State 
Convention  Evangelism  Department  and  Dr.  Mark  Corts,  Pastor  of  Calvary  Bap- 
tist Church  in  Winston-Salem.  Singers  for  Tuesday  night  will  be  Mrs.  Leslie  Speas 
of  Mt.  Pleasant  Baptist  Church  and  a  choir  composed  of  several  churches  of  our 
association.  We  trust  that  this  will  be  just  what  our  churches  will  need  to  help  to 
keep  us  all  motivated  to  be  about  our  Father's  business.

BAPTIST  CHILDREN'S  HOMES  REPORT 

For  105  years  Baptist  Children's  Homes  of  NC  has  been  giving  children  a  chance 
at  life.  This  year  we  formalized  that  phrase  into  our  first  state-wide  fund-raising 
campaign. 

The  "Give  a  child  a  chance!"  Campaign  seeks  to  raise  $1 1  million  over  three 
years  to  expand  Cameron  Boys  Camp,  boost  general  operating  income  and  in- 
crease endowment. 

We  will  also  be  able  to  begin  a  before  and  after  school  care  program  in  David- 
son County,  to  give  security  to  children  of  working  couples,  who  won't  have  to 
go  home  to  empty  houses  anymore. 

Some  of  the  new  endowment  earnings  will  increase  training  to  help  staff  deal 
with  ever  changing  needs  among  the  1 ,000  children  and  families  they  serve  each 
year. 

Baptist  Men  of  North  Carolina  have  agreed  to  build  the  new  Tommy  and  Jeanie 
Eller  Chuckwagon  at  Cameron,  saving  approximately  $75,000  in  construction  costs. 

Children's  hopes  also  were  bolstered  by  the  return  of  the  Thanksgiving  Offer- 
ing voted  by  messengers  to  the  1989  State  Convention.  While  suffering  through 
its  12-year  absence,  BCH  lost  more  than  $1  million  in  revenue. 

In  the  change  from  a  Homes  and  Hospital  Offering  to  the  Thanksgiving  Offer- 
ing, BCH  will  go  1 8  months  without  a  special  collection,  a  period  that  encompasses 
more  than  an  entire  fiscal  year.  For  the  past  five  years  that  special  collection  has 
meant  $400,000  to  the  ministry,  a  sum  that  will  be  difficult  to  make  up  in  the  1 990-91 
budget.  Some  churches,  aware  of  the  difficulty,  have  promised  to  begin  receiving 
the  Thanksgiving  Offering  in  1990. 

The  Cooperative  Program  continues  to  anchor  our  budget  planning  from  the 
churches.  We  urge  renewed  commitment  to  cooperative  giving  among  our  North 
Carolina  churches.  It  is  essential,  not  only  for  us,  but  for  the  entire  missions  enter- 

-68- 


prise  built  painstakingly  for  a  century  and  a  half.  Baptist  Children's  Homes  receives 
$1.5  million  from  Cooperative  Program  receipts  each  year.  That  is  the  stackpole 
around  which  we  build  our  other  income  planning.  A  decrease  in  Cooperative  Pro- 
gram dollars  to  Baptist  Children's  Homes  would  seriously  jeopardize  our  ability 
to  care  for  children. 

!n  August,  BCH  signed  an  agreement  with  Gaston  County  Department  of  Social 
Services  to  operate  two  emergency  care  homes  owned  by  the  county.  That  raises 
to  1 1  the  number  of  emergency  care  homes  BCH  operates.  That  service,  in  which 
a  child  at  risk  of  abuse  or  neglect  can  receive  shelter  right  away,  is  the  service 
most  in  demand  throughout  the  state.  Children  stay  a  maximum  of  60  days  while 
BCH  works  with  the  custodian  to  determine  a  long-term  plan  of  care. 

In  1 991  BCH  will  celebrate  the  20th  anniversary  of  the  founding  of  Broyhill  Home, 
our  westernmost  campus,  in  Waynesville/Clyde.  With  the  help  of  J.E.  Broyhill  and 
his  family,  the  home  was  opened  in  1971  on  91  hilly  acres.  It  has  capacity  for  48 
children  in  group  care  and  for  eight  girls  in  emergency  care. 

Baptist  Children's  Homes  has  a  105-year  history.  But  its  history  is  just  the  knot 
that  ties  it  to  a  boundless,  unbroken  ribbon  of  promise  that  stretches  beyond  the 
future  to  wrap  children  and  families  with  eternal  blessings.

WHAT  IS  THE  QUESTION? 

A  preacher  once  entitled  his  sermon,  "If  Christ  Is  the  Answer,  What  Is  the  Ques- 
tion?" The  sermon  had  three  points.  "How  can  I  live  with  myself?"  "How  can 
I  live  with  others?"  "How  can  I  live  with  God?" 

Your  Baptist  colleges  attempt  to  confront  students  with  life's  most  important 
questions: 

What  is  the  purpose  and  meaning  of  the  created  order? 

How  will  I  spend  my  one  life? 

How  should  I  measure  success? 

How  much  is  enough? 

How  can  I  best  serve  God  and  my  fellow  human  beings? 

The  best  gift  churches  and  parents  can  give  to  their  youth  is  a  college  educa- 
tion where  Christian  people  are  seeking  answers  to  truly  important  questions.  The 
Baptist  college  experience  provides  challenges  and  opportunities,  in  and  out  of 
classes,  for  young  people  to  become  whole,  healthy  persons  both  intellectually 
and  spiritually.  People  who  can  think  clearly  about  life,  including  faith  and  voca- 
tion, are  the  kind  of  persons  needed  to  establish  homes,  grow  churches  and  build 
a  better  world. 


-69- 


Colleges  educate.  Churches  call  persons  to  faith  and  encourage  spiritual  growth. 
Colleges  and  churches,  then,  have  distinct  roles.  Baptist  colleges  lead  students 
to  link  learning  with  faith  to  produce  whole,  mature  men  and  women  equipped 
for  a  lifetime  of  learning  and  service. 

No  question  about  it,  Baptist  students  and  Baptist  colleges  belong  together!
