MISSION REPORTS

To the Messengers of the Churches of the

CALIFORNIA CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION:

Dear Brethren:

Another year has passed and it is time to make my annual report

of the mission work that I have done. I would like to express appreciation

and heart-felt thanks for the co-operation and help that you have extended

have served the churches.

to me and my family while we have tried to show my appreciation by

working faithfully in what consider to be the duties of a State Missionary.

I served the Landmark Missionary Baptist Church of San Jose as Missionary

Pastor until Sept. 1st, at which time they called Bro. Larry Reeves. Through your

offerings to the Dollar a Month Club, two acres of land in the very best

location has been purchased. Before the year is over, the church expects to

build the first unit, which will be 50’x76’. San Jose Church has had a continual growth with 133 in Sunday School and 200 for preaching services last

Sunday. Their monthly budget now runs about $1,000.00

The The first mission that I helped organize upon arriving in the Los

AngeleAngeles area was the Skid Row Mission in downtown Los Angeles. In the past

six months over 100 men have been saved with over 15,000 ministered

and fed as a result of this work. The church at Dominguez and her pastor,

Bro. Martin Canavan, are to be commended for their sacrificial labors

for the men which most of the world have forgotten. Bro. Jim Lankford,

full time superintendent, is doing a very good job. There are many problems

in this work. In order to continue the Skid Row Mission, we need each church

to send an offering each month. The Mission at Bell Gardens was organized

into a New Testament Church after just four months of labor. Bro. Marlin

Gipson, a second year student who spent his first year in the school at Lake-

land, Fla., is my assistant. I am going to continue to work there for the next few

months and upon leaving, Bro. Gipson will continue to work, if the Lord permits.

We had 21 charter members and on March 19 there were 52 in Sunday School.

They are now meeting in a building which will seat 300 and has five

Sunday School rooms.

At the present time, I an also serving the ABA Church of Buena Park. This

church formerly met in South Whittier and is a little over one year old. I accepted

their call as Missionary Pastor on the condition that they would call an assist-

ant the time that I began working with them they only had 15 active members.

They hadn’t anyone saved in over six months and had become discouraged.

I was persuaded the church would disband if someone didn’t help them

out, so I accepted the call. We have had a few additions and Bro. Mel Long,

another second year student is helping me. I preach for this church every Sunday

morning and Tuesday night and at Bell Gardens on Sunday and Wednesday nights.

Also I helped out the South Gate Church for four months by teaching at their

Prayer Meetings on Thursday nights. This church was organized this year.

In addition to my State Mission work, I have been teaching the Evangelism

Class at CMBI. This class was not offered last year because of a shortage of teach-

ers. I would like to report that we have one of the finest groups of

young preachers at CMBI that one could find anywhere. They have witnessed

to or invited to church a total of 4,449 for the first six months of school.

The class won an average of one soul a day for a total of 180 for the past

six months through preaching or in personal work. We go right out together and

learn how to talk to people about their spiritual needs and about the church.

During the past year, I have received $4,004.35, not including

the last month which is still unpaid. All of the monies I received as State

Missionary are on file with the Secretary-Treasurer of Missions.

Again I would like to express appreciation for your good support and help this

past year. M.y family and I covet your prayers as we labor for the Lord in

this coming year.

Brotherly,

Your State Missionary,

James Wilkins

STATE MISSION REPORT

TO THE CHURCHES COMPOSING THE MISSIONARY BAPTIST COOP-

ERATIVE ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA WHEN CONVENED AT HAY-

WARD, CALIFORNIA

Dear Co-Workers in Christ:

Through your care and support of State Missions you’ve enabled us to con-

inue in a good work in the northern part of the state. I have labored at Eureka

as Missionary-pastor the whole year, except for the month of November,

which I spent with the new mission in the city of San Francisco.

However, other work has been done which I believe to have been a creditable

work, as it has, no doubt, held another small struggling church together. The work

at McKinleyville was about on the rocks because they had no pastor, and werel

talking of disbanding. For several weeks I alternated, dividing my tire between

McKinleyville and Eureka, encouraging the McKinleyville group and holding

them together

until they could call a pastor. Bro. Richard Jones, from Napa, is working with

them now and the prospects look much better for the growth of that work.

We held a church-sponsored mission service in the Blue Lake area on Sunday

afternoon for several weeks for the benefit of several Mississippi families who

profess to be Missionary Baptist, but they refused to have anvthinci to do with the

services after they learned we don’t practice “foot-washing.”

We have recently begun another mission effort in the Hoopa Valley (Indian

reservation) where we have some members living. There are several Missionary

Baptist families living there in the community, perhaps twenty people in all who

hold membership in some of our churches. We have been having prayer service

and and Bible study on Tuesday night, and as quickly as we can find a public building

to meet in we will begin regular Sunday services in view of working toward a

church organization. Hoops is located sixty-two miles back in mountainous country northeast of Eureka, right in the middle of the reservation for the

Hoopa Indian tribes. The Post Master says there are something over

three thousand people receive their mail there. There are several

big mills in the vicinity and near fifty percent of the population is white.

The enthusiasm of God’s people toward the mission work is great there and

prospects look good for a church in the area.

At Eureka this year we have gained twenty members, 14 of them by profes-

sion of faith and baptism; but have lost 17 of them because of the decrease in

working opportunities this winter. They have had to move elsewhere to provide

for their families. Our membership now stands at thirty-two.

I have handed in my resignation as their missionary-pastor, effective April 2.

They need the prayers of their sister churches as they look to the calling

of a pastor. It is a fine group of people in a town that offers a great opportunity

for the work of the future. All the opposition we’ve actually encountered here

has come from Southern Convention Churches, stemming from the fact that

we will not fellowship their work nor receive baptism administered by them.

One of their churches at Eureka and one at Rio Dell have worked rather hard

to discredit our work. Had we been willing to accept members from them without

baptising them we would, no doubt, have at least a hundred members today.

If the support of the month of March reaches the recommended amount of

$400.00 I shall have received a total of nearly $4400 on the field, and

a monthly average of about $365.00, as nearly as I can figure it. My figures in

my records of the month of Nov. (the time spent in the San Francisco mission)

are so jumbled I have not been able to work them out satisfactorily. But the

churches have been faithful in their support of State Missions. May God’s blessings rest upon them.

Repectfully submitted,

Allen Tabor, State Missionary

By the time this report is made I am sure that enough funds shall

have come in to make the total amount well over $1000.00 for the ten month

period, as we have until April 10th to total our March receipts.

The 10th of each month is the date set for closing the books of the previous

month, and some of the churches who have been faithful in their support have

not yet sent in their March offerings.

Truly we are thankful to God, and deep!y grateful to the churches who have

aided us, for the money that has come in to help us purchase land for the purpose

of building a house for God in Eureka. We have approximately $1000.00 toward

this project that has come through the Dollar-a-month Club, but I want to call your

attention to the fact that almost half of it was supplied by the Eureka church.

I have no bones to pick nor an axe to grind, with anyone. However, my preach-

er brethren who have known me down through the years will tell you that I usually

speak my convictions. I have some convictions about the Dollar-a-month club, and

feel it my responsibility to speak out on them.

First of all, may I say that I am constrained to believe that the postors over the

state have let us down terribly in not leading their churches to support this very im-

portant phase of the mission work. The plan was presented to the messenger body

last year, fully discussed, and approved to be recommended to the churches. Yet,

only about one tenth of the churches contributed to this great need. Why? Certainly

not because it would hove interfered with, or hindered, any other support to any

other phase of the work. For the Dollar-a-month Club plan is so laid out that it can-

not possibly hinder the support of any other phase of our work. If the other 90% of

our churches had cooperated in the Club work the $1000 now in the fund could eas-

ily read $10,000, and that would purchase a very nice piece of property. Now why

did they not cooperate? I’ll give you my opinion for what it is worth: LACK OF

LEADERSHIP! Who leads the churches? The pastors, of course. I don’t believe it

is right to recommend anything in our messenger assembly, as messengers of the

churches, that we will not stand behind in our practices through the year. Do you?

The Dollar-a-month Club is a great plan that fills a great need if only our people

can be led to cooperate in it.

I want to recommend that we go home, lay this thing before our churches in

detail, and ask them to select a good, dependable leader to head the local club and

really get down to business on it. If this plan is approved again this year and placed

in the hands of the Missionary Committee I want to pledge my support to it, and

promise to

do all that I can to solicit the support of others. I firmly believe that never at any

time in the history of our California work has there ever been a greater need for

support of any project than there now is for this phase of our mission work. Please

think on these things.

Humbly submitted,

Allen Tabor, State Missionary

MISSIONARY REPORT

To the messengers of the churches composing the Cooperative Association of

California, meeting in Hayward, California.

Dear Brethren:

My fields of labor have been varied the past year, having spent the first few

months in an unsuccessful attempt to establish a work in Marysville. This was

unsuccessful mainly because of the lack of interest of the majority of those who

claimed to be Baptist. The next day after closing the mission effort there I received

a call to preach for the Eureka Church during Bro. Tabor’s absence. When I arrived

home from there I found a letter asking me to come help the Cloverdale Church

as they were without a pastor and on the verge of disbanding. I preached for them

about two months, at which time they called Bro. Bob Roderick as pastor and he

accepted the work. The next day after I arrived home from Cloverdale I received a

call from the church in Chico asking me to help them as they were without a pastor

and had been unable to get any one. I preached for them six weeks during which

time we held a ten night revival meeting during which the church had several addi-

tions. I recommended that they call a pastor which they did.

I was again called to Eureka to help out there while Bro. Tabor was preaching

for the mission in San Francisco. After Bro. Tabor returned to Eureka, the Mission

in San Francisco asked me to lead in the work there. I moved on the field in Jan.

1961 and have been working with them since that time. The Lord is blessing the

work in San Francisco. We have a strong mission point sponsored by the Unity

Church of Richmond. We are looking forward to having a good strong church here

in the near future.

Though the visible results of this year seem small I do not feel that the time has

been wasted. Each church that I have worked with has had souls saved and addi-

tions to the church.

I also preached a revival meeting for the Sheridan church. And preached one

Sunday for a community church in Cohassett which resulted in several additions

to the Chico church.

I cannot give a detailed report as to how much each church has sent to me direct

this year in financial support due to the fact that in moving to Son Francisco some

of my records were lost. But will give a monthly breakdown of the totals sent in.

if the messengers of the churches consider me worthy of recommendation, I will,

with the Lord’s help, serve to the best of my ability.

nudism in every form.

Be it further resolved that we believe the scriptures teach that people are to use

every facility to stamp out the moral derelicts that carry out the practices of nudism.

REPORT TO THE

COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCHES

OF CALIFORNIA

Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I am deeply grateful to you for this privilege you have granted me, to speak

about the work that I have done for our Lord, among our Filipino people. I am

happy to say that I have represented you, in this work for Him, among this people,

with oil I can and I thank the Lord for you hove sent me, and supplied the means

by which I could reach them.

I had the privilege of teaching four labor camps around Delano, Earlimart,

and Richgrove. At most times I had about 20 in a class, and sometimes I had only

ten. A labor camp is usually a group of a few cottages and a big dining hall at the

middle. Our classes have always been conducted in their dining hall, after working

hours. It is joyous that nowadays they love to study the Bible. They study it with

great interest. There have been days when many of them did not know the differ-

ence between a Catechism and a Bible. They regarded

the Bible as just another book in the book store, written by some authors for com-

mercial purposes. Now they know that it is a precious book, the WORD OF GOD.

About 90% of our Filipino people call themselves Catholics because they have

been baptized by Catholic priests, in the Philippines, when they were babies. Let

us understand this people. They are very timid when it comes to being with the

American people in the American Churches; they like to study and stay with their

own kind of people. For the post three years there have been more than twenty who

joined our Sister Churches in Manteca, Porterville, and McFarland, and more than

this number have been saved in their camps. They were either too far from any of

our Sister Churches, or that they moved to another district or city to work before

they had a chance to declare their profession of faith, be saved in a church, and fol-

low the Lord in baptism. These people are mostly laborers in farms, and they move

from one city to another where they find work. So it has always been practical to

teach them of our precious Gospel of the Lord in their labor camps. using their

dining halls as our classroom. We find that they study the Bible nowadays with

great interest. The quarterlies supplied by our church in McFarland have been great

blessings to them. We have given some of our students in these camps Filipino

Bibles. They like to discuss their lesson among themselves in a language that they

can understand, and speak. Most of them ask for bibles written in Ilocano, Visayan,

and Tagalog.

Speaking of sins committed in these camps, it is pitiful. The overage Filipino

idolizes a fighting rooster, it is his instrument for gambling, and his wife can not

do anything about it. He bets and loses his savings for several months, in just a few

minutes of rooster fighting game. They are so lost and on their way to Hell.

Thank you all for your prayers remembering us in this work, and thank you

for the material support you sent for it. I thank the Lord specially for our church

in McFarland, as she has supported this work with about $20.00 a month for about

4 years now without missing a month. Bro. Lee Collum has for a number of times

come to preach to these people in these camps. Other preachers who came to teach

and preach to these people are Eld. George Wahor, Eld. Monroe Patterson, and Eld.

Claud Crawford. Let us thank the Lord also for all of you who have prayed for us,

and for the following churches who sent their support to this work, this year:

The Unity Missionary Baptist Church, Richmond, California

The East Date Missionary Baptist Church, Parterville, California

The Manteca Missionary Baptist Church, Manteca, California

First Missionary Baptist Church, Ceres, California

First Missionary Baptist Church, Chico, California

The Missionary Baptist Church, Antioch, California

Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, Bakersfield, California

All the churches represented by the District Ladies’ Auxiliary in the

Central Valley, California

The Ladies’ Auxiliary in Manteca, California

Landmark Missionary Baptist Church Ladies’ Auxiliary, Sacramento

A few churches in Texas and Arkansas, also Florida

And designated support sent through Bro. A. L. Patterson.

All of these small offerings came to an average of about $46.00 (forty-six

dollars) each month for the past 10 months.

It is my prayer, please pray with me, that some day one or more of our preacher

brethren will spend a few years of their ministry working among this people. We

don’t need to go to the Philippines to teach the Filipinos, there are thousands of

them who live in California, and most of them now make the United States their

home. May we continue to pray and to support this work for our Lord, among the

Filipino people.

CHRISTIAN LITERATURE

We, your committee on Christian literature, submit the following report:

Realizing the command of our Lord in His commission to His churches includes

“teaching them to observe all things whatsoever have commanded you” and real-

izing it is therefore the duty and the God given privilege of all Missionary Baptist

Churches to teach His word we therefore recommend:

1. That each pastor and church member daily and prayerfully

study the Bible.

2. That each family subscribe to the Baptist Sentinel and that

the Churches send in regular offerings for its support.

3. That all our churches use our own Sunday School and Training

Course literature published by the Baptist Sunday School Committee

in Texarkana.

4. That all churches be encouraged to give our graded Sunday School

record system a fair trial. We believe it will enable any church to

reach more people for her teaching ministry if properly used.

5. That our churches use the Vacation Bible school materials supplied

by our Baptist Sunday School Committee, Texarkana.

6. That our ministers and churches remember our Baptist Book Store

in Texarkana and the C.M.B.I. book store in Bellflower when they

have need of Bibles, or any materials supplied by our stores.

In Matt. 28:18-20 our Lord gave to His Church the Great Commission, which

includes making disciples of oil Nations, Baptizing them and teaching them to

observe all things that He has commanded. This includes teaching and practicing

Missions: In Luke 12:48, Jesus said. “Unto whomsoever much is given, of him

shall be much required.”

Since this is true, the Lord’s churches will be held responsible for carrying out

the Great Commission. We believe it would be of great value if each church would

select one person to correspond with Missionaries to gain information as to what is

most needful in that particular field.

We know by experience that the better informed the churches are the greater

will be their interest in Missions.

We further recommend that the messengers ask their churches to participate in

the special offering for Interstate and Foreign Missions, which is being conducted

on April 2, 1961.

Respectfully submitted by your committee on foreign missions.

HOME MISSION REPORT

We your committee on Home Missions wish to submit the following: Due to

the fact that there are so many mission projects that are in urgent need of financial

support, due to growth and progressive work of the churches in mission endeavors,

we feel that definite recommendations should be made as to what mission projects

should be supported during the ensuing year.

1. We recommend that each church put forth a greater effort through her

educational and training services, to encourage every member to be a mis-

sionary in deed and in truth.

2. We recommend that the Missionaries endorsed for cooperative support of

the churches, by the messengers, receive our full cooperation and support

for the ensuing year.

3. We recommend the support of the Skid-row Mission in Los Angeles

endorsed by the Dominguez Church.

4. We recommend that the churches and pastors give prayerful consider-

ation to Localization of the Associational Work in California, to salve many

problems arising from the vast scope of the State Work. By the next mes-

sengers’ meeting of the State Association, we consider one State Mission-

ary for the promotion of Missions, and each local association consider the

full support of a local missionary. We further recommend that the ability

and financial strength of the churches of a given area determine the action,

instead of geographical area.

Respectfully submitted,

L. M. Branch

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

As the above title definitely sets forth, this deals with all phases of Scriptural

education. First, the great need above all else is for the children from the cradle to

be brought up in_the “Nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Second our churches

are commanded to “teach all things what-so-ever I have taught” and in order to

even start on this we need well organized educational programs in our churches.

This would include Sunday School, B.T.C., and other phases of church work.

In order to accomplish the first two it is necessary to have a trained ministry.

This brings is to the most important recommendation of this committee; that of our

Bible Schools. Of the many fine schools in Missionary Baptist ranks, one stands

out above all others in the interest of California Churches and that one is C.M.B.I.

In order for this great

school to accomplish its purpose it needs the support of all the churches. This

must be done in these two ways:

1. By encouraging the purchase of Building bonds to enable the building

program to proceed without delay.

2. Regular monthly offerings to help defray the heavy operating expenses of

such an educational institution.
