- Description:
- The service begins with an announcement and prayer (00:00-01:44). An update from the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board) concerning mission needs is given (01:45-03:35). An introduction is given firstly for Jose F. Rodriguez, a Brazilian missionary (03:36-04:33). Mr. Rodriguez begins by reading Luke 10:2 (04:34-05:00). He expresses his thanks for being able to speak (05:01-05:42) and gives an update on the gospel’s spread in Brazil. He expresses that although Brazilians are predominantly “Christian,” they are majority Catholic who do not know the truth of the gospel message (05:43-15:38). An introduction is given secondly for Otis W. Brady, who was a missionary to Latin America (15:39-16:12). He begins by thinking about the “why” and the “where” concerning the strategic approach to missions (16:13-18:54). Three particulars he mentions are: first, the individual (18:55-25:08); second, the family (25:09-29:39); and third, the church (29:40-34:49). The service closes with the mention of the singing of “Something For Thee,” hymn #400, along with a call to publicly profess a missional call (34:50-35:21), a poem (35:22-35:35), and choral singing (35:36-35:50).

- Description:
- The service begins with the reading of 1 Peter 2:9-10 (00:00-00:38) and prayer reflected in the writings of John Greenleaf Whittier (00:39-04:49). There was no introduction for the speaker, Edwin Luther Copeland, but he was Professor of Missions at SEBTS. He begins by mentioning the subject of the message, “The Ethic of the Christian Mission,” describing the mission as always being done according to the ethic, and the ethic being measured according to the method (04:50-06:15). First, the ethic is one of servantile radical obedience, not a means of selfish gain (06:16-11:56). Second, the ethic is one of thorough-going honesty concerning the gospel message (11:57-20:17). Third, the ethic is one of identification or self-giving love (20:18-22:39). He ends in prayer (22:40-23:17), and the service ends in singing (23:18-24:25).

- Description:
- The service begins with an introduction for the speaker, William M. Dyal, who was a missionary in Latin America for nine years and was then Missionary Personnel Associate for the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board) of the Southern Baptist Convention (00:00-01:11). A singing of the parable of the pharisee and the publican precedes the speaker’s message (01:12-05:17). He begins by speaking about the reason why he went (and why he did not go) to be a foreign missionary, as one beggar showing others where to find Bread (05:18-10:29). Between the sharer and the seeker, there must occur a dialogue, or a conversation (10:30-17:21). Dialogue also always leads into engagement and involvement, sometimes called “personal mobilization” (17:22-23:38). He ends in prayer (23:39-24:36).

- Description:
- The service begins with a brief word (00:00-00:56) and prayer (00:57-02:12). A brief highlight is placed on missions as the core focus of the seminary (02:13-03:42). An introduction is given for the speaker, Dr. Henry E. Turlington, pastor of University Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, NC, and former missionary in China (03:43-06:43). He begins with cordial greetings and the importance of the Scriptures in Baptist life (06:44-10:00). The Bible is relevant from Paul’s time until now, even as it still is changing; Turlington illustrates this from 1 Corinthians 9:19-22 (10:01-12:30). After giving a brief history about the British East India Company, he speaks of how much circumstances for missions in China and the world have changed (12:31-25:45). The question arises: “Is there need for any particular religion?” (25:46-27:44). He then draws out three of Paul’s teachings about himself from 1 Corinthians 9:19-22. First, he adapted himself to the environment in which he lived without denying the nature of the Christian life (27:45-31:01). Second, Paul taught the gospel absolutely cannot be determined by the environment; it already is (31:02-35:38). He then speaks briefly of this concerning Hinduism (35:39-36:53). Third, Paul was not afraid to trust God with young Christian churches (36:54-41:21). He ends his time in prayer (41:22-42:34).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-02:39) and the reading of Luke 24:44-49 (02:40-04:06). There was no introduction for the speaker, Dr. John Watson Shepard, but he was Professor of Christian Ethics at Seinan Gakuin University in Fukuoka, Japan. In his message, he intends to go over the “why, what, and how” of our global mission task (04:07-07:07:22). The “why” of missions is simple from Scripture: the Lord has commanded and sent us, and the burden in us to share the good news of what has happened to us in Christ with the unbelieving is heavy (07:23-10:57). The “what” of missions, on one hand, is simply the gopsel; however, on the other hand, “how” we communicate that gospel across cultures can be difficult (10:58-17:45). Remarking further on the “how” of missions, we are witnesses and testify to that experience; we need to know the culture and language of the people we are among, but ultimately salvation belongs to the Lord (17:46-22:28). He ends in prayer (22:29-23:17).

- Description:
- The opening prayer emphasizes a plea for God's forgiveness for our lack of obedience to Him and for our disobedience against Him (00:06-02:22). An introduction was given of Elmer West as the pastor of a church in Washington D.C., having formerly served for ten years as personnel secretary of the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board). Also stated, he received degrees from the University of Richmond, Colgate-Rochester Crozer Divinity School, and the University of Chicago. He completed his education from the North Carolina Baptist State Hospital, but his ultimate education came from marrying a missionary, the daughter of Dr. Watts who taught in Palestine (04:09-05:47). The title of this address is "Missionary as Servant" (09:02-10:13). Words such as pastor, teacher, administrator, organizer, popular speaker, etc. often characterize those who lead in the church, but "servant" is hardly ever one of them; yet, this is the description of Jesus Christ Himself, who came not to serve but to be served and to give His life as a ransom for many (10:14-10:45). Without a servanthood in missions, our churches will grow larger in size while shrinking in membership (17:00-17:27). West urges the denominations of Protestantism to come together in Christ for the propagation of the Gospel to those who have never heard it (17:28-28:24). He also strongly exhorts Americans to humility in hearing from our brothers and sisters overseas, valuing and benefiting from their input instead of just sending more American missionaries and funds their way (28:25-30:50). West calls for a reassertion of the high qualifications of missionaries, opposed to the growing "eases" of missions and saving the lost for some (30:51-41:43). [A brief loss of volume occurs between 35:35-35:43.] We have to give up our comfort and sacrifice much for Christ's name, but everything we gain will be more than worth the cost of what we gave up (41:44-43:47). The closing prayer ended with this emphasis as well, asking God to do this great work in and through His Church (44:01-45:04).
