RICHMOND, Va. — Forty-six Southern Baptist representatives, including three Alabamians, were appointed by trustees of the International Mission Board (IMB) in two services May 5 at Broadview Missionary Baptist Church, Broadview, Ill., and May 6 at First Baptist Church, Jackson, Miss. The appointment services were the last for IMB President Jerry Rankin before his retirement July 31.
“I want to thank you, Southern Baptists, because of your faithfulness in praying, for your heart for a lost world, for your faithful giving [through] the Cooperative Program [that] has enabled them to go in obedience to God’s call,” Rankin said.
The Alabamians appointed cannot be identified because they will serve in high-security areas.
