- Dr. Stealey begins with a brief word (00:00-00:50) and a prayer (00:51-04:22). An introduction is given for Keith Edwards, who was a missionary to Nigeria as well as a physician and a surgeon (04:23-06:02). Colossians 3:11 is read aloud before Dr. Edwards gives the message (06:03-06:35). Dr. Edwards begins by suggesting that our concept of missions and missionaries is inaccurate. He proceeds to describe personal experiences of his missionary work in Nigeria (06:36-15:23). He emphasizes that there is no difference in death for people regarding different skin color or attire, and he reflects on the understanding Christ has for our sorrows (15:24-17:18:05). He ends in prayer (18:06-19:22).

- Description:
- An unnamed female speaker begins the address entitled “Faith Dispersed” by telling a story about two creatures and taming. She transitions into how Jesus has tamed human hearts and how our evangelistic process must be a sort of taming (waiting some time while patiently pursuing someone’s trust) as we build bridges in love and understand their struggles in empathy (00:00-11:00). Next, James Y. Green follows up the initial address with an extension of the same title, “Faith Dispersed,” in which he calls his listeners to “jump in” to the world of God’s global mission (11:01-17:34). He mentions pre-requisites, essential presuppositions, and an understanding of suffering that we must have before we can “go out” on mission (17:35-19:13). We must understand not only who we are as Christians but also the social structures we are going into; we must know the presupposition that God is working actively in the world outside of the walls of a church building (19:14-24:59). Also, we must know the value of what we are sharing, not only in personal morality but also in concern for the world (25:00-35:21). We must go out in dispersion in response to the powerful sending God, even the Lord Jesus Christ; our dispersion must be done in relationship with the living God and in relationship with the community of the saints (35:22-40:46). Two reasons for dispersal are an assurance of the significance of being sons of God along with the concern for the world having been (and being) the objects of God’s concern (40:47-44:50). He ends his time in prayer (44:51-45:38), and the service ends with music (45:39-48:38).

- 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 an introduction on missions with the reading of Matthew 28:18-20 and John 1:1-14 (00:00-03:10) before praying (03:11-06:25). There was no introduction for the speaker, Dr. Emily Kilpatrick Lansdell, but she was Professor of Missions at SEBTS. She gives information from Dr. Fisher for a love offering (06:26-07:46). She begins by speaking about updates concerning the mission efforts then in New Delhi along with their words toward American Christians (07:47-14:03). The patterns of Christian missionary work will continue to change as time goes on (14:04-16:47). She then speaks about the union of the International Missions Council and the World Council of Churches, (16:48-21:07) speaking of three emphases from the conference: witness, service, and unity (21:08-21:22). She focuses the closing of her sermon on needing a renewed sense of mission, moving away from Westernization and White Supremacy in global missions (21:23-24:49). She ends her time in prayer (24:50-25:10).

- Description:
- The service begins with prayer (00:00-03:49). A welcome and recognition of certain people from the Women’s Missionary Union (WMU) are given (03:50-05:39), and the speaker, Dr. Baker James Cauthen, is welcomed and introduced (05:40-08:06). He was the Executive Director of the Foreign Mission Board (now the International Mission Board). The service continues with choral singing (08:07-09:56). He begins by reminding the congregation of the seminary’s missional purpose from its inception and its level place among the other five seminaries (09:57-13:35). He stresses that the central theme of missions is seeking God in prayer (13:36-19:06). The Scripture text for the sermon is 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, entitled “the Ministry of Reconciliation” (19:07-20:55). Man’s basic need is to be reconciled to God, and we ought to leverage our means which we spend on buildings and programs to advance the gospel to the nations (20:56-34:57). He asks those in the congregation to consider their service to God as extending far instead of staying near, affirming God does call His people to both realms (34:58-53:18). He ends his message by talking about the seriousness of viewing oneself as a missionary, both near and far away (53:19-1:03:11).
