"Wounded ministers" retreat set. Thirty couples who have spent their lives in ministry to others, but who now feel in need of a caring touch themselves will be the objects of ministry at the Wounded Heroes retreat at Ridgecrest (N.C.) Baptist Conference Center Feb. 8-12. The retreat is the fourth in a program begun in 1998 by evangelist Freddie Gage. Those interested in attending future retreats or in paying the expenses of others to attend may contact Wounded Heroes Inc., at P.O. Box 156, Euless 76039 or call (800) 880-0264.

___ Correction: A page 3 article in last week's Standard about Russell Dilday's predictions on future funding of Southern Baptist Convention entities contained a typographical error. According to the SBC's distribution formula last year, Texas Baptists gave $926,794 to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, not $92,434 as printed.
