To increase the number of interviews with renewalists, pentecostals and charismatics were oversampled. The numbers reported in the “Pentecostals” and “Charismatics” columns reflect the total number of interviews completed in each country among these groups after combining pentecostals and charismatics from the general public surveys and the oversamples. Those pentecostals and charismatics interviewed via oversampling are not included in the “General public” column above or in the tables that follow. Please note that, due to rounding, in some instances the figures reported in this topline do not sum to 100. Data are based on national samples except in Brazil, South Africa, South Korea and India. In Brazil, South Africa and South Korea samples are disproportionately urban.

    A STRATEGY FOR ADVANCING THE SPIRIT-FILLED RENEWAL MOVEMENT AMONG AMERICAN BAPTIST PASTORS A MINISTRY FOCUS PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF MINISTRY BY GARY KENNETH CLARK JULY 2000 Abstract A Strategy for Advancing The Spirit-filled Renewal Movement among American Baptist Pastors through the Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries Gary Kenneth Clark Doctor of Ministry School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary This Ministry Focus Paper presents a strategy for advancing a Spirit-filled renewal movement among American Baptist pastors serving local churches through a volunteer movement, the Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries. The American Baptist Denomination has experienced a serious decline in members and overall effectiveness during the past forty years. At the same time, a number of American Baptist pastors and congregations have entered into a Spirit-filled, empowered ministry with significant evangelistic conversion growth and multi-gifted charismatic breakthroughs. With the evidence that traditional Baptist Churches can be transformed through a spiritual renewal into dynamic, growing congregations which are serving their communities with the power of God, the Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries seeks to assist pastors into a renewal through the programs, influence, and goals of the Holy Spirit Renewal Ministries in American Baptist Churches, Incorporated. The paper will analyze spiritual needs in the denomination, and review the contribution that has, is, and may be made toward true spiritual renewal of pastoral leaders. The paper is presented in three sections. The first part presents the biblical and theological foundation for a Spirit-empowered ministry and a model of a contemporary American Baptist church which experienced the empowered ministry for thirty years.

  • 2020 Yearbook
    2020 YEARBOOK STANDING TOGETHER BY STAYING CONNECTED DIRECTORY GENERAL COUNCIL MINUTES STATISTICS NETWORKING THE BAPTIST FAMILY TO IMPACT THE WORLD FOR CHRIST Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Baptist World Alliance mission statement is “Networking the Baptist family to impact the world for Christ.” Core to this endeavor are ongoing efforts to strengthen relationships and ministry partnerships within the BWA family. Annually, since the late 1920s, the BWA has produced a Yearbook that is today shared with the conventions, unions, associations, and Baptist leaders actively involved in the BWA’s multifaceted ministry “to impact the world for Christ.” Across four sections, the Yearbook details the BWA organizational leadership and member bodies, provides the official account of the proceedings of BWA General Council meetings and the annual statistics of Baptists around the world, publishes financial statements and contribution reports as part of a commitment to financial integrity and transparency, and concludes with a directory of BWA Baptist leaders currently serving on BWA committees and commissions. The Yearbook is provided with the conviction that we are biblically called to encounter one another in loving fellowship and joyful collaboration. While asking for the responsible utilization of included information, it is expected that the Yearbook will enhance ministry partnerships. It is also hoped that the Yearbook will challenge us to pray more concretely for one another and to make direct contact that expresses solidarity with any BWA Baptist experiencing sorrow, hardship, or joy of any kind. May the Lord continue to richly bless you and BWA Baptists around the world. Thank you for your partnership in the mission of God.

  • OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2015.Qxd
    October-November 2015 Cowen Celebrates a “Rock Solid” Summer and Announces New Campaign for the Sunny Day Leadership Center The West Virginia Baptist Camp at Cowen had a “Rock Solid” summer! With 1,896 campers, along with 264 volunteer counselors and 80 staff, God was glorified. The Spirit of the Lord was present as 65 campers gave their lives to Christ as Lord and Savior. Please continue to pray for those campers as they get involved in a local church and continue to build on the foundation 24 established as they studied Matthew 7: “ Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.” Another group we are excited about helping with their foundation are the 15 students who have committed to serve God in full-time Christian service. We pray this will impact the West Virginia Baptist Convention for many years as our own students answer the call to serve God. Ministry is continuing to grow and expand at Cowen to reach as many campers as possible. The West Virginia Baptist Camp at Cowen Board of Directors continues to plan for the Sunny Day Leadership Center. Prayerfully, as of this publication, there are bulldozers making the ground level for the building. Our hope is by August 2016 we can begin construction. Preliminary numbers of the project cost will be $1.5 million.

Jones has commended Southern Baptists for their plan to establish a television network. Jones told more than 300 participants in a national conference on broadcast ministries that she and other commissioners originally had reservations about the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission's plan for a satellite-fed network. The low-power stations were intended to increase local involvement in broadcasting. But she said the American Christian Television System plan would apparently provide enough local programming to serve that purpose. In her address at the conference sponsored Jointly by the Radio and Television Commission and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Jones was less enthusiastic about processing the more than 5, 000 low-power applLcations fUed before the AprU 9 applLcatLon freeze.

  • The American Baptist Christians in North-East India
    Facets of the North-east The American Baptist Christians in North-east India Amrit Kr Goldsmith* The Britishers entered Assam and established their rule in the early years of the 19th century. Soon after, the different Christian denominations also gradually established their outposts and started their work. Their main objective, no doubt, was to spread their religion. But they also undertook to spread literacy, render medical aid, open schools and other educational institutions, etc. Out of all denominations which worked in the North- eastern region, the American Baptists were able to spread out in many parts. Even today the followers of the American Baptist denomination form the majority of Christians in the region. The author of this article, Shri Amrit Kumar Goldsmith is the regional head of CASA (Church’s Auxiliary for Social Action). In answer to our request, he undertook to study old records and has come out with the present article. Besides describing the life and services of some of the highly dedicated missionaries, he also narrates about the work that began in the past and which is continuing till date. It may be noted that out of the seven states of the North-eastern region, three states namely, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Mizoram are predominantly Christian. There is the presence of Christian mission work in all the other states including Assam. We have four major religions in the North-east, namely Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Buddhism. Any student of the affairs of the region cannot afford to miss studying the impact of these religions and the influence they have in the region.
