Dear Brethreni

m-£, 1966

We have already served on the Mission field in South Africa# In i960 weestablished the Wynberg Church of Christ in Cape Town» consisting largelyof brethren from the Polo Road Church, In 1962 we moved to Pretoria wherewe conducted calling campaigns and personal evangelism.

In 1965 we returned from South Africa when Nancy had back trouble, and ourbaby daughter Sandra was ill v/ith asthma, pneamonia, and T.B. almost tothe point of death. Praise the Lord they were both cured. And I tookadvantage of being here to take some graduate studies at Lincoln ChristianSeminary. In addition I have served as full-time minister at the TinleyPark Church of Christ for the last two and one-half years.

Once again we feel that the time is right for us to return to South Africa,and the Lord is opening the doors for us to do just that. After a carefulstudy of a map of South Africa, and the location of missionaries already onthe field, we havo concluded tliat a strategic spot for our new ministrywould be the city of Port Slizabeth about 5^0 miles due east of Cape Town*

Brethren, we need your help. Launching out on a new missionary campaignis not easy. Funds will be needed for travel and support. Even now weare in theprocess of traveling to present the South African work to thechurches. Will you please join with others in praying for us as we enterthis new venture of service for Christ. We have already stepped out 01faith, and have made our reservations on Icelandic and Trek Airwaysfor January 1967* The fare will be -i?1527*00 which we need toraise by then. V/e encourage you to help by contributing to

our Travel Fund for the next few months, or even betterby a regular monthly gift.

Yours in the I^iaster's name, ( D0R8/^H

My dear brethren,

BellvillGj OhioSept. 30, 1966

I am very conscious, as I write this letter to you, of the needtha.t we have for your prayers and the guidance of God in this newventure for Christ and His kingdom.

As I havo been and am visiting in your churches and your homesI appreciate more than I can say the care and the concern which youhave expressed to me for our v/crk. . . ^

The time is fleeing by so i^apidly, and, Lord .willing, we s'fiallbe leaving for Port Eli^^abeth, South Afri.ca on January 4,have already reserved our accomoda.'f'-ions. Our .travel^ fa.re is 41527and needs to be completed by the first T7cck of December. Your support in the next tvro months could help so much in this. ^All contributions should be sent to our Forwarding Agent.

Nancy and the children have been in Eau Claire, Wisconsin thispast month, and both our daughters are now in school. I in turn having been putting thousands of miles under the weals of Chevelle invisiting the churches and telling of our v;ork.

^'/hat are our plans as we look toward Port Elisabeth, SouthAfrica? We have a threefold aim:

1. REACH these people by visiting them in their homes, bynewspaper advertising and by Radio Broadcasting.

TEACH them Gad*_s ^^ord by Bible ^studies ,in our home, cottagemeetings, and regular Bible classes with a view to the establishingof a Bible College.

3, PREACH the Gospel'by regular services in otir home, thenrenting or bu'̂ '̂ing a building, and developing a completely indigenousself-supporting church which v;ill carry on by itself as v/e move to

another part of town.

Brethren, please pray for us. No one realizes the difficulties of this task as well as our own shortcomings said inadequaciesmore thcan I. Yet'the Lord has called us. He has opened the way almost miraculously, and through you and others like you He is providing the means for us to go. Fith Him we can not fail. Please remember us daily before His throne of mercy.

And may the God of all grace and peace guide your footstepsever onward as you labor always for Him.

Church of Christ
