“During his nearly 30 years with River Ministry, Baptists started 670 churches along the Rio Grande, formed two associations of churches, launched six children’s homes and began 67 healthcare clinics in Mexico. Howell coordinated the work of more than 10,000 volunteers a year and developed a field staff of 45 consultants. He worked with about 900 summer missionaries, many of whom went on to serve as international missionaries or denominational leaders.” – Baptist Standard, August 29, 2022
