LOI 1972-1: F.W. Bovey: Eighteen Baptized In Missouri:
"In August we had an evening V.B.S. at Hazelwood Bible Chapel, Hazelwood, Mo., running for one week. Total attendance was just over 1,000, including almost 300 children and parents on the final night. As far as we can tell, almost all of these were unsaved. Follow-up is still under way. This summer we began our AWANA program for the first full year and have experienced numbers that our staff never expected.
Last week (Nov. 17) we had 125 boys and girls between ages 8 and 13. Again, the majority of these are unsaved. But even then, the children eagerly study the Word of God and commit it to memory. We have also started a number (6) of home Bible classes in the neighborhoods as a means of trying to reach those outside the body of Christ. We have had 18 baptized over the last years. Many of them came to know Christ this year."
