BWA World Congress Resolution 1955.4

As members of the Golden Jubilee World Congress we cordially endorse the following resolution passed by the Conference of Ministers and Laymen held on Tuesday, July 19th, and request the Executive of the Alliance to take steps to give effect to it:

“Whereas we have been lifted to mountain-top experiences through the exaltation of our wonderful Saviour, the King of Kings, Who commanded Ye shall be witnesses unto Me, be it hereby resolved that we urge every Baptist within the constituency of the Baptist World Alliance to make an honest effort to win at least one soul during the coming year for Jesus Christ.”
