Dallas Baptist University marked a milestone in missions education Feb. 17, when it inaugurated the Piper Chair of Missions—the first endowed professorship in the school’s history.

Bob Garrett, a former missionary to Argentina and longtime missions professor, holds the chair, DBU President Gary Cook told an audience composed of missions students, DBU faculty and staff, friends of the university and missions advocates.

The Piper Chair of Missions is supported by a $1 million endowment, Cook said. Paul and Shirley Piper of Wilson, Wyo., donated half that amount as a challenge to other donors to contribute the balance. Through its foundations, Christ Is Our Salvation and Christian Mission Concerns, the Piper Family has supported numerous missions and ministry causes across Texas and beyond.
