In 1963 Baptist Mid Missions the name adopted by the General Council of Cooperating Baptists of North America in 1953 separated the two fields of labor, and the Association of BaptistChurches was formed. By the early 1970s, Baptistchurches in Chad numbered in the hundreds. But in 1973, these churches suffered a severe setback. The government attempted to enforce tribal initiation rites. The Baptists resisted. Churches were closed, believers were persecuted, 13 Chadian pastors were executed, and missionaries were expelled from the country. Medical personnel were allowed to stay.
