Interesting Figures On Domestic Missions
The Classis of Pella heard a report from agent Reverend R A De Jong detailing Board aid to 125 churches this year up from 109 previously. The Board supports 6,925 families, 11,979 members, and 14,678 Sun school members with 1,230 accessions, 674 by confession of faith. The balance seeks self support while maintaining pastor salaries amid pastorate aid reductions. In old Mexico, missionaries report spiritual reception evolving despite government opposition. The Spirit is moving among converts, though some see faith as allegiance shift rather than rebirth. The President tolerates church reopening but avoids responsibility, per the report.
