1. SEBTS Missionary Day Address - Les and Hazel Watson November 22, 1988

Description:
Les and Hazel Watson were that year’s Fletcher Visiting Professors of Missions and Emeritus Missionaries to Japan. Les and Hazel Watson are announced as Chapel speakers (0:00-0:16). A hymn is played (0:17-2:31). It is announced as the second missionary address day of the semester, and a word of prayer is given (2:32-5:09). Another hymn is played (cut) (5:10-5:13). Scripture reading for the day comes from Acts 16:8-10 (5:14-5:52). The Watsons are introduced (7:31-11:35). The choir sings an anthem (11:36-17:28). Hazel Watson speaks of the missionary opportunities, especially for women, as well as commitment and prayer (17:29-27:08). She ends with a word on how discipleship, discipline, and obedience bring us closer to God and how women are needed over seas (27:09-27:55). Les Watson begins with rereading some of the Scripture reading from Acts 16, focusing on how God can change our plans to fit His plans (27:56-29:30). He strongly emphasizes the answering of God’s call to missions and highlights the many priority requests of the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board for 1989 (34:12-35:22). He then discusses when he answered the call and how God provided for him and his family (35:23-37:39). Dr. Watson reassures that God will supply for the needs of His followers (37:40-39:56). He reads the Great Commission and invites people to come forward in answer to God’s call as a hymn is sung (cut) (39:57-43:07). A word of prayer closes the service (43:08-43:42).
