First Person: My Baptist Association Hero

A Personal Story from George Bullard that appears in The Baptist Paper

Read the article in The Baptist Paper HERE.

“One morning more than 40 years ago, I arrived at the Baltimore Baptist Association office a little later than was typical for me. I had a message to call Lawrence Childs, director of the association in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I hoped what he wanted was something good. The last 24 hours had been terrible. I had turned down an offer to become a national consultant for the Home Mission Board (now North American Mission Board).

Childs and the Mecklenburg Baptist Association had a great reputation. He was a model of leading edge associational work. I was glad to talk with him about anything. I had so much to learn.”
