Dear Brethren:

Greetings in the name of our Savior and Lord.* All praise to Him forHis faithfulness! May we grow to he more like Him!

The neighborhood boys who came to one Saturday morning Bible Club havenot returned. In fact, I have not seen them again. I know one of themwas only visiting in this community - perhaps others were, too. I didinvite one new family on my street, and the 8-year old girl has been ^attending on Saturday morning and going with me to the Maili BibleClub on Wednesday afternoons. She attends another congregation witlher mother on Sundays.

My responsibility with the annual women's conference is finished except for an evaluation meeting. Our theme this year was "Fill My Cup,Lord." I served as secretary for the steering committee, led a workshop on forgiveness, and was in charge of the program booklets. Amydrew some "cups" for the schedule, I compiled the information and copiedit, then our ladies met to collate it and put it in the folders. Overone hundred of us were inspired by Joanie Grimm to be filled by the Lordand then to pour ourselves out in service.

About two years ago a widow lady and her two teen-age children werebaptized into the Lord at Maili. They came faithfully-were eager tolearn for a while. The mother taught a Sunday School Class. But thenthey began to attend less frequently and finally stopped. Recentlythey began to come again and realized their need for a closer walk withthe Lord. She is again teaching the children with the help of her two.She wanted to attend the women's conference but was nervous about sucha new experience. She did go and was delighted and inspired by it.Now she is eager to follow some of the speaker's ideas to reach out tothe community.

Several years ago Charles and I became concerned over the lack of fellowship among our churches. All of us were so busy in our isolatedareas that oftentimes we would not see a fellow-worker for a year orso. We invited the leaders in our churches to a pot-luck get-together,discussed the situation, and from this our fifth-Sunday rallies werereborn. The day after the women's conference was a fifth Sunday. Allour preachers planned and promoted attendance so that Joanie Grimmcould tell of F.A.M.E.'s mission work in Haiti. About 350 personswere present and were so touched by the message that over $2500 wasgiven for their work. .

Lora did not receive enough money to go to Africa this summer, butthe Lord willing, she will go to North Dakota and take the secondcourse in the Summer Institute of Linguistics.

The application for licensing the preschool at Maili Church has beensubmitted, and they will be scheduling inspections by five departments.Then we will know what additional things must be done to prepare ourbuildings and grounds. Our director, Zola Brown,and I will be taking

a first-aid course on June 3- The staff has all been fingerprinted.Now we are discovering additional red tape to unravel. Papers are inhand to apply for a Site Plan Review Permit with the State Departmentof Land Utilization.

The summer schedule is beginning to fill. Our two-week Vacation BibleSchool will be June 19-30, July 17-21 I am scheduled to be camp cook.So now I need to get to work on menus and shopping lists. It will beheld in Waianae so I won't have to drive across the island as I didlast year,

I have mentioned before how thankful I am for my good health, butthat I continue to have regular glaucoma checks on my eyes. My pressure has been abnormally high for years but I have had no visionloss. The pressure did rise rather quickly between two close checkups, so the doctor decided it was time to begin the drops four timesa day to reduce the pressure. I will have another check-up thismonth.

My mission income continues to be very erratic. In April I could nottake any salary and only $200 in housing allowance instead"of" the^usual $400, I need about $1400 month to meet expenses, but two monthsthis year received less that $900. I'm thankful for a Social Securitycheck which helps bridge the gap. With getting ready for the preschoolthere will be extra expenses there, too. Regular support would beappreciated but a one-time offering would be helpful. Please prayabout this need and respond as you are able.

Yours to spread the Word,

THIRD QUARTER, I989

Dear Citizens of the Kingdom,

Greetings from this far-away island in the Pacific; far from you. butnot far from God. He has promised to be with us "to the end of theworld". Praise His name!

How the summer has flown! There were 23 pupils enrolled in our VacationBible School with a low attendance of I3 and a high of 19. Ten of themhad perfect attendance. Ten pupils were from outside of our congregation. Three came from other churches and the other seven have been inat least one regular service since then. Two of them came severaltimes to Sunday School but have now moved out of the area.^ I waspleasantly surprised to learn that it was their mother's sister whomoved next door to me. She is quite friendly. Zola Brown, the newHawaii Calls Mission worker, was our only outside teacher. She alsohelped me in the kitchen at camp. We cooked for 6k campers and faculty.There were six first-time decisions for the Lord. Folks at home weresurprised at those who began regular Bible reading after their campweek. Of course, we didn't get in on the sessions - we were too busyin the kitchen.

I hoped to be able to report that permits were in hand to begin ourpreschool at Maili church, but we are still entangled in the milesof red tape. It seems that one department's regulations preventapproval by another. Since the lanai area we planned to use wasbuilt over a period of time without building permits, we may not beable to use it, so other buildings on the property are being considered. Good news has just been received - since we will be usingexisting buildings it is not necessary to make them wheel-chair accessible. Please pray that wise decisions will be made.

Whatever course of action is taken, large sums of money will be needed--much more than we thought--probably around $20,000. We may need toborrow the money in order to get started". The congregation is so smallthat they may not be able to get the loan, so I may need to get a homeequity loan personally. When the preschool is in operation it shouldbe able to make the payments. Of course, the most efficient way wouldbe to have funds on hand to pay^for materials as needed. If eachperson or group who received this letter would send just $35 thiscould be accomplished. Please pray about this need and how you shouldrespond. Perhaps you could ask your group or congregation for a donation. Checks should be written to Hawaii Galls Mission and designated"Preschool".

Some preliminary work has been done for the preschool. David has thefence virtually completed and has rebuilt the parsonage porch sothat it no longer exits into the playground. With the help of JerryWright, a one-week volunteer from Joplin, MO, four doors were replacedon the classroom building. I painted them with primer. The lanai

was cleaned out and the accumulated "junk" was sold at two yard saleswhich cleared $300 for the preschool. The leftovers are now storedin a room that we may use for the preschool so they will need to bedisposed of. As it is in your congregation probably - so much to doand so few to help! Praise God for His promise and the strengthHe supplies.

After my last newsletter I did receive several "extra" gifts. I hadhoped I would have $1000 or so to use for the building renovation,but then I had car trouble. The two repairs cost almost $600 and itstill has some problems.

May the Lord guide us all and make us effective citizens in His Kingdom to bring others to Him.

Yours to serve,
