I think we've had some mixed signals....in response to your query:
Faith, denomination and/or sect are not important.....Look forward to
your response...docp-ga

Hi Docp!

I found four more missions, two in Indiana and two in Illinois. Would
these four missions plus BAPTIST MID MISSIONS that I mentioned
previously be an adequate answer to your question?

I can also point you to similar orgainzations based in other States.

Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks,

Bobbie7

That should say "organizations" not orgainzations.
