Biographical / Historical
In 1889, the Bible School Board and the Board of Home and Foreign Missions were separately appointed. The work of the latter included the missions in Mexico as well as funding freedmen's schools. In 1929, the Board of Home and Foreign Missions became the Board of Missions, as a result of a growing desire not to differentiate between mission work at home and abroad. This Board changed its name to Wider Ministries in 1971.
