Leeland Crotts, Mrs. Mildred Leech, Miss Carol Mciver 4205 Chester Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44103 On Our Front Cover Baptist Mid-Missions held its 21st Candidate Seminar on rthe campus of Cedarville College this past s11mmer. The 46 missionary candidates present represented an interest in five continents. Over half of ,these were volunteers for general missionary work, specializing in soulwinning and oburch planting. The others, in addition to the work of evangelism, will be printing, teaching missionary children in elementary and high schools, teaching in seminaries and Bible schools, filling and extracting teeth, performing surgery in mission hos– pitals, translating Scriptures, and flying mission planes. The Seminar is designed to better prepare these young people for the mission field by acquainting them with some of the problems and privileges they will be experiencing. Some of the subjects covered were anthropology, linguistics, cultural shock, prayer letters, housekeeping on the mission field, missionary health, photography, and Christian psychology. Considerable time was given to the structure and policies of Baptist Mid-Missions and methods by which the missionary, local church, and mission can work together effectively in fulfilling the great commission. These young people are now engaged in deputation work and will be leaving for their fields just as soon as they have the minimum support. Baptist Mid– Missions now has over 800 missionaries working in 28 different countries.
