They share a common fate as well,
for the rural lifestyle they have known
for generations has entered a time that
some sociologists and economists have
labeled a crisis.
Frgm the furrow to the factory,
farming and agri-business are going
through their most difficult days since
the Great Depression.
The documentary, "Come Before
Winter: Missouri Baptist Relate to the
Farm Crisis," is a 30-minute video
produced by the Missouri Baptist
Convention. It examines the role of the
church in the current situation. The
documentary is scheduled to be shown
Nov. 3 over KQTV, St. Joseph at 1
p.m., and KTVO, Channel 3, Kirksville
at 5 p.m.
Missouri Baptists are predominantly
a rural denomination and a lot of their
members are involved in this hurting,
according to Don Evans, an associate
in the Missouri Baptist Convention,
missions department.
Evans, who is in charge of the
project for Missouri Baptists explained
that "we got involved because there is
a need out there."
The need "out there" has been to
bridge the gap between the facts about
the crisis and some relief for the
victims. One farmer described the
farming situation by comparing it to
an injured hand, "you go to bed with it
hurting, and you wake up with it
hurting."
The need to bridge this gap was also
the major reason KOMU-TV in
Columbia offered their services in the
production of the video. Tom Gray,
KOMU station manager shared that
although the station had done a
number of series on farm problems,
the Missouri Baptist video not only
addresses major concerns, it discusses
how to cope with them. "This is a facet

They share a common fate as well,
for the rural lifestyle they have known
for generations has entered a time that
some sociologists and economists have
labeled a crisis.
Frgm the furrow to the factory,
farming and agri-business are going
through their most difficult days since
the Great Depression.
The documentary, "Come Before
Winter: Missouri Baptist Relate to the
Farm Crisis," is a 30-minute video
produced by the Missouri Baptist
Convention. It examines the role of the
church in the current situation. The
documentary is scheduled to be shown
Nov. 3 over KQTV, St. Joseph at 1
p.m., and KTVO, Channel 3, Kirksville
at 5 p.m.
Missouri Baptists are predominantly
a rural denomination and a lot of their
members are involved in this hurting,
according to Don Evans, an associate
in the Missouri Baptist Convention,
missions department.
Evans, who is in charge of the
project for Missouri Baptists explained
that "we got involved because there is
a need out there."
The need "out there" has been to
bridge the gap between the facts about
the crisis and some relief for the
victims. One farmer described the
farming situation by comparing it to
an injured hand, "you go to bed with it
hurting, and you wake up with it
hurting."
The need to bridge this gap was also
the major reason KOMU-TV in
Columbia offered their services in the
production of the video. Tom Gray,
KOMU station manager shared that
although the station had done a
number of series on farm problems,
the Missouri Baptist video not only
addresses major concerns, it discusses
how to cope with them. "This is a facet
