Keith Parks: Breaking Barriers & Opening Frontiers

by Gary Baldridge

Overview

Great movements in the history of Christian missions often have started with few people perceiving their eventual importance. Such was the case when Dr. R. Keith Parks led Baptists to unprecedented engagement of the least-evangelized peoples of Asia and North Africa in the mid-1980s.

This biography of Keith Parks introduces one of the premier mission leaders of the twentieth century. Parks has served in Baptist global missions for 45 years, first as missionary, administrator, and president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Foreign Mission Board, and then as Global Missions Coordinator for the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
