Baptist Mission in India Faces Staffing and Funding Strain
The Baptist Missionary Society reports serious declines in Indian mission staff due to death disease and funding shortfalls. Six members are temporarily away in England for health reasons and more may return. Despite higher prices, expenditures rise, and the committee asks churches to fund at least five new missionaries to occupy key vacant posts. The Santhal mission shows notable progress with 220 baptized last year and a large number of inquirers across the district.
