Story number 3 for 17 Jan 2000

The growing number of Southern Baptist missionaries has prompted a
23-million-dollar expansion project. The International Mission Board of trustees
recently met and approved enlarging their crowed Missionary Learning Center in
Rockville, Virginia. This follows the seventh straight year of record missionary
appointments to Southern Baptists’ oversea teams. IMB says they’re well on their way
to a record of five-thousand missionaries by September 2000.
