Wedid some figuring and find that forevery dollar we pay in the immediatefuture, we will save over one dollar ininterest over the 15-year period. Inother words, a $1,000 contribution today for the building would actuallyamount to a $2,350 gift, counting theinterest that would be paid on that
k$l,000 over the 15-year period. Here isa great way of "stretching" a dollar.If you can make further contributionson the building, it will be a very special blessing.

Shopping
Plaza
minwrtalp Churc_which has been meeting in a nurseryschool since the congregation began,is now meeting in an auditorium inFAIRVIEW MALL, a new shoppingpiaza in the northeastern section ofToronto.
This move is the first step towardthe fulfillment of plans for an extensive"Shopping Plaza Ministry." Jesus wentwhere the people were. The ApostlePaul, fulfilling the great commissionto "Go," went where the people were.Today, with high-rise apartment complexes as well as many single familydwellings in the area, the shoppingplaza is "where the people are." Thewitness for Christ by the Willowdalebrethren in this plaza that opened latelast summer should prove to be one ofthe most exciting developments forChrist in Canada in recent years.
PAIRVIEW MALL is an enclosedplaza on two levels. Two of Canada's
One view of the Fairview Mall interior
largest department stores plus 91 othersand many office facilities are in themall. The auditorium seats 300 and
has added facilities that can be adaptedfor Sunday school purposes. The management of the mall has been quite cooperative and is interested in seeing aprogram developed to reach the youngpeople of the area. There are onlythree denominational churches in the
entire area, where over 14,600 housingunits are located. Obviously, the doorof opportunity is unlimited.
Pray for these brethren as theymove forward for His glory. May thisfirst step in the "Shopping CenterMinistry" be followed by many moresteps forward as God leads.
Nelson Deuitch ministers to this
congregation while he studies theology
in graduate school at the University ofToronto. The congregation has 20 members and has nearly 50 people attending. Sam Stone, minister ofCincinnati'sWestern Hills congregation, held aweekend revival for this congregation
during the American Thanksgivingseason. They conduct aggressiveyouth programs, which will be especially helpful to the plaza where theyare now meeting.
The growth of the congregationnecessitated a move, and God openedthe doors of this plaza in a remarkableway. Alan LaRue, Director of CanadianOperations for Toronto Christian Mission, has given much valuable counseland guidance aiding the congregationin this move.

TORONTO CHRISTIAN MISSION
Advisory CommitteeMeeting
The annual meeting of the AdvisoryCommittee of Toronto Christian Mission
was held in the new Work Center in
Toronto December 29-30, 1970. Of the14 advisors, only one was unable toattend. This Committee, which is purely "advisory," gives counsel to themissionaries, reviews past activities,and makes recommendations regardingMission policy and program.
While the Committee is "advisory,"anyone who saw these men on theirknees, heard the fervency of theirprayers, listened to the depth of theirdiscussions, observed the determination for scriptural adherance, saw theirsearch for intelligent decisions andnoted their sincere reliance on the guidance of the Spirit, could not doubt thepropriety of their advice. In fact, the"authority" of this Committee is fargreater, i3ecause of their consecrationand dedication, than that which couldever be vested in them by an ecclesiastical organization.
The growth of the work in the pastyear has necessitated a 70% increasein personnel. The year-end reports included accomplishments in both Com-munist-dominated countries and western Europe on the group missionarytour: in the European Youth-to-YoUthprogram and the Dulins'Camper Preaching Tour in Europe; the acquiring ofthe new Work Center in Toronto, andthe establishment of the sixth new con
gregation in Canada.Future plans project the opening
of the European base of operation inVienna from the summer of 1971 to 1972.
Current political unrest, plus the needfor additional time to make adequatepreparations, make this advisable.
Political conditions have alsomade it advisable for George Bajenskito return to Poland with a personal forwarding agent rather than to be formally associated with any mission organization. James Emerson. 127 Palmer St.. Lincoln, Illinois 62656, is nowreceiving funds for the Bajenskis.
Plans were also made to segmentthe work of Toronto Christian Mission
to allow re-alignment of personnel fora more effective ministry, both inCanada and in Europe.
This will mean ultimately that boththe Canadian and the European groupswill have their own program, personnel,and name. This re-alignment is notbrought about by internal problems, butis prompted by a desire to be as effective as possible in the framework of theNew Testament principles. There will

We here at TorontoChristian
Mission see God answering prayers almost every day. We believe He meant"Ask and ye shall receive," We believe "the effectual fervent prayer of arighteous man availeth much." We prayfor our supporters and friends daily,and we know that you pray for us. Webelieve this is why the work of Toronto Christian Mission has been blessed
so abundantly.Sometimes when we have urgent
needs, we request special prayer by"prayer partners" in various parts ofAmerica. People have always responded, and God has heard.
But we wonder if you sometimeshave special prayer needs but do notknow to whom to turn. The mission
aries of Toronto Christian Mission
would like to be your "prayer partners." Every day at noon we eat together and pray together. Every Thursday afternoon a longer devotional andprayer period is conducted by one ofthe missionaries. And at various times
during the week other prayer sessionsare held as the Spirit leads. If you havea real need, telephone us in Toronto at416-278-6381. (The cost of a three-minute call from Chicago to Toronto is$1,50 and from Florida is $2.00.) Or ifthere is time, write us at P.O. Box 220,Station N, Toronto 14, Ontario.

Plans for EuropeThe ministry Toronto Christian
Mission is conducting in the Commu-nist-dominated lands of eastern Europeis effective and productive for thecause of Christ. The radio crosses theCurtain without difficulty. The printedpage allows the message to be readand re-read, studied and re-studied.Visitation by missionaries allows forface-to-face communication and givesencouragement and assistance not onlyto the Christian in the Communist land,but also to the missionary and, in turn^to you.
The simple goal of this entire ministry, like that of the Apostle Paul, is"to preach Christ and Him crucified."We are "ambassadors of Christ" sharing our faith, encouraging and edifyingthe saints, and challenging the unbeliever to walk with Him. While our purpose never changes, we must keep ourprogram and our methods flexible e-noughto meet the need and at the sametime to be faithful stewards.
Political unrest in several Communist countries, with a general "tight-ening-up" of travel from the Communistworld to western Europe, is evidentfrom newspaper reports and also frompersonal observation. These conditionsneed clarification before we spend the
large sum of money needed to open theVienna Work Center and the proposed.Hospitality House. With these conditions in mind, plans call for the opening of the Center in Vienna in 1972.
During the intervening months, careful research and a thorough study willbe made to assure the most effective
ministry possible. Plans now call forGene and Lenora Dulin to make an
other camper tour into several countries in August and September. Thiswill allow us to have first hand infor
mation and also allow for preachingand other work for Christ.
We solicit your prayers on behalfof the brethren in the Communist worldand on behalf of all the missionaries
at Toronto Christian Mission who are
searching for effective ways to helpthese brethren.

While he was a student at Ken
tucky Christian College, Rod submittedan article to Christian Standard, andEditor Burris Butler published it. Rodhas been writing for Standard Publishing ever since.
His articles have appeared in Key,Junior Life. Straight, and ChristianStandard. He has contributed to A Year
of Junior Programs and Activities, Programs for High School Youth Groups.Standard's Christian Camp Courses,and Devotion magazine.
He has written for Youth Bible Class
and the Junior High Graded for Growthseries. He and Mrs. Huron collaborated
on Easy Bible Quizzes for All Ages andare contributors to "Picture It This
Way" in the current Bible Teacher andLeader.
Rod has written for Standard's Va
cation Bible School courses of 1964,1968, 1969, and 1971. His byline hasappeared in International Society ofChristian Endeavor publications and inthe 1954 Anthology of College Poetry,America Sings.
He received the A.B. Degree fromKentucky Christian College, and theM.Ed. Degree from the University ofPittsburgh. He has taken additionalwork in Guidance Counseling and Journalism at the University of Akron.

In his missionary work with TorontoChristian Mission, Rod will prepare sermons to be translated into Russian for
broadcasting into the Soviet Union. Thesermons will also be printed in tractform in Russian and other eastern European languages. Every word and
thought in these messages must becarefully researched and documentedthat God's message be presented withprecision and authority. The shortageof Bible-centered material dealing withbasic questions of Christian faith makesit imperative that material being prepared in these languages of the communist-dominated lands meet the exactneed of the hour and answer the arguments of the communist environment in
which these people live.

"Report from Toronto"
TorontoChristianMission, Inc.REPORTS ON MISSION WORK
IN CANADA, RUSSIA, POLAND
AND OTHER EUROPEAN FIELDS
March, 1971
I Thought You'd Like to Know by Gene DulinYou. the friends of Toronto
Christian Mission, once again haveproven your love and concern for the
work we are striving to do. In our December Report we told you of a seriousfinancial problem. We had to have$15,000 for the down payment on thework centre and were facing a seriousdeficit. At one point we were over$9,000 in the red. including accountspayable and salaries due. You "came
through" and the down payment wasmade, and the deficit was reduced one-half to about $4,500. Thank God foryour concern, help and your involvement in the work of the Mission.
Because of people like you, wecontinue to give "Wings for the Word"as the printed page goes out; to usethe airways two and one-half hourseach week to preach "The EverlastingGospel" in Russia; and to minister tothe people in the communist-dominated
lands through personal visitation of ourmissionaries and corre spondence.
Today I present to you our needsonce again, and pray that you will participate to your fullest ability in takingthe message of Christ behind the Iron
Curtain. These funds must come if we
are to carry out the summer evangelisticprogram in Europe, and continue theradio and printing ministry. In additionto regular offerings that come eachmonth, it will take $16,000 to meet thechallenge of this spring and summer.
First, we must overcome the $4,500deficit before we can possibly considerfurther projects. This is not only goodbusiness, but necessary, since we cannot function without supplies, and cannot expect suppliers of paper, tapes,etc. to provide ^ditional material until
they are paid for what has already beenused. I'm sure you see the disastrousresults if we have to let our pressesset idle when there is so much to be
done. We dare not neglect our work nowwhile there is still opportunity, becauseit looks like the night "when no man
can work" is coming very quickly.
Second, the summer missionary-evangelistic work in Europe by Lenoraand me was originally planned for lessthan three months; but almost daily requests for help in camps, visitation ofchurches, speaking at special occasions, and requests for other assistance
make us fully aware that we cannotmeet the needs in that short period. Weneed to stay five months, but this increases the cost. However, such wordsas "We are waiting for you," "We wantyou to come to our church when youcome this summer," and '"til the summer" make it hard to say. "We just can'tmake it." The five months will cost
about $4,500, which will include time
in nearly every communist-dominatedcountry in Europe. Will you share inhis vital ministry of preaching, teach-ng, and encouraging the saints there?
Third, our radio department musthave two pieces of equipment-a recorder and a tape duplicator-and some otherless expensive equipment to meet quality requirements by the transmitters.These will cost approximately $2,500.Air time for the new program over thePortugal station is not covered by anycommitments and will total $2,500through August. This means we musthave $5,000 by the end of August tomaintain the radio ministry.
Fourth, we are presently printing2,000 Romanian hymnbooks which willcost about $2,000 to print, bind and forward. There will be need for many morethan the 2,000 but we are limiting thisedition and saving the plates for futureprinting as we are able to deliver them.These funds are needed now, since thebook is already on the presses.
And so friends,! thought you'd liketo know our condition and our plans.You have always done all you could toundergird the work with your financialassistance, and we feel sure you willdo all you can just now. Please fill inthe coupon at the bottom of the pageand send your offering today to help usmeet these needs. God bless you.

"I have long been interested in ourLord's work at Toronto and especiallysince they started sending Wings for theWord. This Bible distribution in Communist countries, to me. is the greatestpart of your work, and all I contributeto Toronto Christian Mission I wish tobe used for sending God's Holy Wordbehind the Iron Curtain. God has saidthat 'the Word that goes forth from mymouth shall not return to me void butshall accomplish what I please and thepurpose I send it for.'So brethren, sendthem the Holy Word and you will alwayshave whatever support I can send youwith God's help.
"May God keep those doors wideopen 'til that day the Word of God hasfree circulation once again in thosecountries."

ILLmOIS --
"We used the tape and slides presentation last night at our worship hourand all of the comments I heard were in
appreciation of seeing what was goingon in Russia and in the satellite countries. Some said it made them feel wehad more than we deserved. Spme saidthey were amazed at how many Christians were allowed to gather togetherin worship in those countries."

KANSAS -

INDIANA -
"Thank you so much for the mis -slonary calendar. It seems like it is adirect answer to a prayer. This wasone year we decided to tithe. One dayI'm determined: the next day. on thefence. Then I did some serious pray
ing, and that gets results. And herecame the calendar! So if the Lord wills,the portion of our tithe set aside for
you will be in the envelope each month."

TEXAS -
"May God give you great joy andpeace in your labor for Him. I appreciate your position with regard to thosebehind the Iron Curtain. Who said that

over there. Bless their dear old hearts!It's a shame for a country to forget theBible. You are doing a great work, andwe all realize it here."
FLORIDA -

stopped by atheism. We pray that manypeople will receive the Gospel and befreed spiritually. May the Word reachthose who otherwise have no hope."

PUERTO RICO -
"I was thrilled with the report of thenew opening for the radio broadcastfrom Lisbon, Portugal, reaching intoRussia. I'd like my monthly offering togo into the radio ministry, which I believe to be very vital to the outreachof the Gospel in those countries whichmight never hear it otherwise. My prayeris with you in this labor for the Master."

"Greetings to you froiir all of us. Iwant to thank you for your assistanceto my family. You should see our joysand our tears when we opened the parcels andfoundin it just what we needed.
We give thanks to God in our prayersand then proceed to divide the articlesfor each member of my family. You seeI have nine children-six daughters andthree sons. I am an invalid since the
last war and therefore am not able to
work. The head kerchiefs, sweaters,and cuts of textile materials went for
girls and my wife. The raincoats, leather jacket were for the boys.I took formyself shirts, and Hike-them very muchalthough they are a size too large forme. Anyway, it is better large than too
small. , . ♦ . . ^ ,
WHITE RUSSIA -
"Sorry to hear that we will not beable to see you this year. We will patiently wait for 1972. I am getting each
year older and physically feel limitedto do as much as I did before, but asmuch as God gives me His grace, I amactive in His work.
"Thank you for yOQi gift of love.Greetings to you and to all who helpyou in the work you are striving to dofor the cause of Christ in our country."

UKRAIN -
"We have been listening to your
programs for some time now. They arevery dear to our hearts. We hear youfrom the Manila station. Thanks be un
to God for inspiring you for this greatwork. Many do thirst for the Word ofGod but do not have the opportunity to
attend worship services. Therefore,your labors are very important. I knowof people who have given their livesfor the Lord because of the radio broad
casts. We have a young brother who became abeliever through the radiobroadcast and is now a member of the church
and a preacher of the Word of God. I am32 years of age.
CZECHOSLOVAKIA -
"It is terribly uncompanionable to
write you so late and let you wait forthe letter solong time. Excuse me. Maybe my silence has made you think thatthere is something wrong here. Don'tworry; everything is O.K.
"The Christian Doctrine outlines
you sent last time I consider as a verygood thing. And the book. About theBible for ChildTen is also very good. Ithink such things are very suitable forour people here.
"I hope you will come this year toour country again. Good bye 'tilsummer!"
EAST GERMANY --
"Thank you for your best regards
for the Christmas. Very often we tell
about meeting you in Hungary. We thank
you for the love you showed to us.These days have shown us that we havebrothers and sisters all over the earth.
Our study is very difficult. We have
much to learn in medical school and
especially much in philosophy andeconomy. We study the work of KarlMarx and Lenin, but we don't forget
that the Bible is our guidebook."

thly magazine in the Russian language).The Lord is blessing our ministry. Manyinvitations come to me to visit and topreach. Pray for us. Greetings to allwho have visited us in the past. Welook forward to their coming again."
RUSSIA -
"I thank God for your broadcastswhich sound forth the Gospel for thesalvation of our souls unto eternal life
in heaven. The signal is very good. My
family consists of my wife and me andthree children, two sons and a daughter.Five days a week we work, and on Saturday and Sunday we rest. On Sundaywe worship at the prayer house with
our brothers and sisters. Both my wifeand I have believed in our youth. Pleasepray forme and my family that we mightall serve the Lord together. When youreceive this letter, please sing the

Ontario Christian Missionary Conference, April 9, 1971.
"Report from Toronto"
TorontoChristianMission, Inc.REPORTS ON MISSION WORK
IN CANADA, RUSSIA, POLAND
AND OTHER EUROPEAN FIELDS
No. 147 Second-class Mail April, 1971
Fourteen Years in CanadaLate in the spring of 1957 Gene and
Lenora Dulin and their two little girlsmoved from southern Indiana to Toronto,Canada. Only God could have transplanted a country boy and his familyfrom the hills and country he loved toa huge metropolitan area. Only Godknew the succession of open doors thatwould challenge him and his co-laborersin Toronto Christian Mission. Only Godcould have directed and blessed soabundantly as victory after victory waswon. Only God could have sustainedduring hours of disappointment and depression. But God has taken a handfulof dedicated people and changed a picture in this section of Canada from one
of decline and despair to one of hopeand anticipation.
This REPORT FROM TORONTO
reviews what has taken place in thesefourteen years. We select this time because the work of Toronto Christian
Mission is now being segmented intotwo areas of activity—Canada and Europe. Since Gene Dulin will be devoting his attention to the European phaseof the work in the future, this REPORTwill summarize the work of the Mission
in Canada under his direction. While he
has given leadership to the work, underno circumstances would he want an inference to be made that he had done allthe work. To the contrary, many havelabored and every victory should becredited to a group of people strivingto do His will. And even beyond this,we know God opens the door and Godgives the increase.
THEN AND NOW CONTRASTED
Fourteen years ago the Dulins began their ministry in Canada on theinvitation of the Keele Street church
in Toronto. At that time this was the
one congregation in Ontario termed"independent." They were without aminister. It appeared Gene Dulin wasstanding alone as an "independent"preacher in a province twice the sizeof Texas. There were 25 "cooperative"congregations of the Disciples, someserved by denominational preachers andothers without leadership, and on theverge of closing. Something like 100congregations had died. There werefew youth in the old church and no liferecruits. Prospects were dim and discouraging.
Today there are over 20 Biblecollege educated Gospel preachers inthe province. Six new congregationshave been assisted in their beginningdays by Toronto Christian Mission. Atleast a dozen of the older "cooperative"congregations are now served by faithful preachers. A Christian service campexists out of which dozens of life re-
Westway Christian Church
cruits have come. While we would not
take credit for every advancement, manyCanadian Christians recognize withdeep appreciation the significant contribution- of American Christians throughToronto Christian Mission.
SIX NEW CONGREGATIONS
The Dulins' first objective inToronto was the establishment of a new
church. The congregation started intheir home September 1, 1957, with 22people present. In four years the congregation was in their own building andself-supporting. Westway's capabletreasurer, giving Interesting statisticsat the annual meeting in 1967, reporteda total of $38,335 had been contributedby Toronto Christian Mission toward theestablishment of that congregation.John Brownlee is now minister.
The Willowdale congregation startedin 1958. A bit later they began worshiping with a denominational church in aneffort to save that congregation and usethe building for the glory of Christ.While the building was not saved, several souls were. One of that number is
graduating from Lincoln Christian College this year. The Willowdale congregation again began separate meetingsin 1967. The minister is Nelson Deuitch.
The Mountain View congregationin Hamilton got underway in 1964. AlanLaRue soon came to Canada to assume
the ministry here. They now have theirown property and building, toward whichToronto Christian Mission contributed
$13,670. Robert Murray is minister.The Niagara Falls congregation
started in 1965 with Bible studies in
homes. Dewey Thackston served herebefore coming to Toronto to work in theEuropean ministries. The church ownstheir own parsonage and building site
toward which Toronto Christian Missioncontributed $9,703. Herb McClintick isminister.
Richard Wright was recruited to goto Ottawa as a result of a few homemeetings held there. The congregationis meeting in a school but we have beeninformed that a lady has given thechurch a building site. Toronto Christian Mission contributed $500 toward aparsonage down payment. RichardWright continues as minister.
The Lakeshore congregation startedin the fall of 1970 in the newly acquiredWork Center of Toronto Christian Mis
sion. Alan LaRue serves as minister
and several Mission personnel serveas teachers and leaders.
ASSISTANCE TO OLDER
CONGREGATIONS
The hunger for the old Gospel bythe long-time members of the church be-Cciv.ie apparent almost immediately afterthe Dulins arrived in Toronto. Invita
tions came from leaders in "cooperative •churches asking for help. While helping these saints took time from the newchurch work, it was deemed wise byadvisors to do what could be done to
help these older brethren and churches.Occasional pulpit supply and mes
sages on special occasions gave themthe bit of encouragement needed. Revivals were planned in various places.
Vacation Bible Schools and leadershiptraining courses were conducted. Eldersand other leaders sought counsel andassistance, especially in searching forministerial leadership. At least a dozencongregations have been assisted andare now served by men of God whopreach the Word faithfully.
Contact was also made in Ontario
with three Russian-speaking congregations of the Russian Restoration Move
ment. Assistance was given each ofthese congregations. The Russian-speaking people are fewer and fewersince immigration is not allowed, andthe need for these works will ultimatelycease. But still they have been helped.
In addition, "The Canadian Christian HARBINGER," now in its ninthyear as a monthly publication, is adoctrinal magazine to strengthen faith
Aylmer Church of Christ
Ontario Christian Assembly
and to challenge toward Christiangrowth. News of interest to the Canadian reader is also carried. We know oftwo congregations that dis-associatedthemselves from the Disciples as a result of the HARBINGER. This publication costs Toronto Christian Missionabout $400 per month.
CAMP
Rented facilities were used forbeginning efforts toward camp, butgrowth forced plans for our own facilities. Land was acquired and Gene Dulinserved as Manager during constructiondays, and generally supervised development. Many man hours of work were putin by those associated with the Mission.Present facilities for over 100 campersare appraised at over $100,000. TorontoChristian Mission contributed over$10,000 toward the establishment ofthe camp.
DISAPPOINTMENTS AND MISTAKES
During the fourteen years we havehad numerous disappointments and mademore than our share of mistakes. Nohuman can labor this long without both.While victories far overshadow the discouraging experiences, in fairness wewant to share some of the less excitingtimes with you.
The biggest disappointment hasbeen the slow growth of the congregations . Most programs that work in America just do not seem to work here. Atransient population adds to the prob-lor: .significantly.
riecruiting capable preachers andmissionaries has been difficult. Thetask in Canada demands the finest aman can give. He must have determination and untiring strength. These menare hard to find and harder to move.
The venture in trying to save thedenominational group mentioned abovein the Willowdale church paragraph wasdisappointing, but certainly not a mistake since several were saved.
An effort toward a Bible collegewas disappointing. It certainly waspremature, and probably is counted amistake by some, but several of today's
leaders of the churches in Toronto received many hours of instruction at theschool and credit much of their Biblicalknowledge to the Bible college. Weakness of congregations in Ontario andcost made the effort falter, and probably will continue to be a problem foryears to come, although the charterfor the school is maintained if needfor re-opening should develop.
As a Gospel beachhead is established, Satan always strives to createproblems. A few individuals develop aspirit of devisiveness and lack of cooperation and appreciation that hindersthe work. Jealousy, inability, emotionalinstability, all join to disrupt unity andstop progress. Such problems are universal, but are especially effective innew works in an unevangelized area.Satan has not been inactive in opposingour efforts in Toronto. But we who be
lieve are assured of victory in Christ.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
Many other developments could bementioned, but perhaps one of the moreimportant has been the legalrecognitionof the Christian Church/Church of Christas a legitimate body of the Lord's people. It took four years of negotiationwith the Ontario government to gainpermission for ministers to officiate atweddings. At this time, Toronto Christian Mission is recognized as a legitimate church movement by an act ofParliament of Canada, and enjoysrights and privileges equal to that ofthe Roman church. These developmentswill make the work of the church a biteasier in the future.
During these fourteen years American Christians have been informed ofthe needs in Canada and challenged toparticipate in the work. Response hasbeen good, and the work has been underwritten faithfully by Christians in America. While growth has been slower thanexpected, progress is evident. The records speak for themselves. But thereis still much to do, and the continuedconcern of American Christians is nec-
Alan LaRue
essary if the church in Ontario is tocontinue its growth.
THE FUTURE
Alan LaRue, who came to Canadaas the minister of the Mt. View church
in Hamilton in 1964 and to TorontoChristian Mission in 1970, will be giving leadership to the Canadian work inthe future. The decision to segment thetwo areas of activity of T.C.M. wasmade at our advisory committee meeting in December. This decision shouldallow both the Canadian and the Eu
ropean works better opportunity for development. The contacts Gene Dulinhas in the European field obligated himto the European work. Alan LaRue hadbeen in charge of the Canadian department of T.C.M. and he was the logicalindividual to assume leadership of theCanadian work.
The process of segmentation hastaken several months, but is now virtually complete. All future responsibility for the Canadian work which wasformerly accepted by Toronto ChristianMission, is now in the hands ofCHALLENGE: CANADA under the direction of Alan LaRue, assisted byMike Boys. All funds intended for theCanadian operation should be forwarded
to CHALLENGE: CANADA, 1005 S.Franklin Street, Garrett, Indiana 46738.
While Gene Dulin and Toronto Christian Mission will be devoting attentionto the European thrust of the Missionas evangelistic efforts are made in bothcommunist Eastern Europe and freeWestern Europe, our concern for Canadawill certainly continue. A local congregation will be meeting in the WorkCenter of the Mission in Toronto, andseveral T.C.M. missionaries will be
giving leadership in this new congregation. T.C.M. missionaries will beinvolved in leadership positions inother Ontario congregations where theyworship and serve as Christians. Contacts our missionaries make in Toronto
will continue to be challenged forChrist. And counsel and assistance
from those of us at T.C.M. will be
readily available to Alan LaRue on hisrequest as he gives leadership to theCanadian thrust. Obviously even somefunds will be assisting the work inCanada since a congregation is meeting in the Work Center, we will printthe HARBINGER for a few months, andtalents and offerings of individualsfrom T.C.M. will be used in the Cana
dian ministries. But still the responsibility for the Canadian work rests inthe hands of Brother LaRue.
LOTS OF VISITORSEaster Sunday morning at 8:30 a
DC7 airplane landed at Toronto International Airport and made history. Airport officials said, "We've never hadanything like this before!" It was JoePutnam and 86 brethren from southernIllinois coming to Toronto to worshipwith the brethren here and to visit Tor
onto Christian Mission. This was the
first international flight for Simbahana teaching ministry by plane under theleadership of Bro. Putnam. It was thefirst occasion when such a large planewith passengers had landed here otherthan on a charter or regular airlineschedule. It was also a first for sunrise
services to be conducted at 10,000 feetas the group flew to Toronto.
The mission staff was ready for thevisitors. Two buses transported the
people to church, and after a chickendinner at T.C.M. Work Center, GeneDulin presented the work of T.C.M.and Alan LaRue presented the CHALLENGE: CANADA program. A sightseeing tour of the city ended back atthe airport at 7 P.M. and a tired groupof people headed back to Illinois.
Additional groups scheduled to cometo Toronto include Christians fromSpringfield, Illinois, on April 18; andtwo groups from Indianapolis, one onApril 25 and another on May 6. As thegroups fly to Toronto and return, classesare held on board. We are predictingexciting things in the future for thisexciting, new project. Be watchingwith great expectations.
In the future "Report From Toronto"will be devoted largely to news of theEuropean work although we will givecapsule reports of activities in Torontofrom time to time. If you wish to receive detailed news of the Canadian
work, it will be advisable for you toforward your name and address to1350 Southdown Road. Mississauga,Ontario. This will assure your name being on the LaRues' mailing list.
And so here we have summarized
fourteen years of activity for Christ inCanada. We thank God for His bless
ings and move forward into a new areaof challenge. We at T.C.M. solicit yourcontinued prayers and financial supportas we devote our complete attentionto the great task of taking the messageof Christ to those behind the iron cur
tain and in free Europe.

"Report from Toronto"
LetEuropeKnowTORONTO CHRISTIAN MISSION, INC.
REPORTS ON THE LORD'S WORK IN RUSSIA,OTHER COMMUNIST-DOMINATED LANDS,
VIENNA, AUSTRIA AND WESTERN EUROPE
uJS-fGERMANY
GREJCr a
No. 147 Second-class Mail May, 1971
WHAT IS PLANNED FOR EUROPE?"Vienna is the point of contact for
all of Eastern Europe" was the observation of a knowledgeable man in Europe. Years of careful study brought usto the same conclusion, and Viennahas been selected as the Europeanbase of operation for T.C.M. Founda-tional work was done last year on thisproject, and a "gospel beachhead" willbe established immediately and expanded in later months this year. Planscall for more laborers to move to Vienna
next spring to further strengthen thebase for aggressive activity for Christ.
MISSIONARIES TO VARIOUSCOMMUNIST COUNTRIES
Vienna will serve as the base for
numerous missionaries working intovarious communist-dominated countries.Ultimately we expect to have at leastone missionary family specializing ineach of the eight small communist countries in Eastern Europe, plus severalfamilies for multi-lingual U.S.S.R. Allfamilies will share in the total project,but will give special attention to theirselected field.
MISSIONARY WORK IN VIENNA
Since Vienna will be "home" to
numerous Christian workers, we expectto lead in establishing both an Englishchurch and a German church in Vienna.
MISSIONARIES TO VARIOUSCOUNTRIES
While special emphasis will be oncommunist-dominated areas, and onVienna, all of the missionaries ofT.C.M. have a world-wide Christian
Ministry, and know that no Christiancan bury himself in one spot and ignorethe needs of the world. As God leads,
we will do all possible to recruitmissionaries for free Europe and giveencouragement and leadership to thedevelopment of an aggressive missionendeavor in all of Europe—from thefrozen fjords of Norway to the sandybeaches of Spain or Greece.
VIENNA WORK CENTER
A Vienna Work Center, where printedmaterials in the various languages ofEastern Europe will be stocked fordistribution, will be opened almostimmediately in a strategic area of thecity. Correspondence into all parts ofEurope will go forth from this Center.
SHORT-TERM MISSIONARIES
College students are being recruitedfor three months of missionary activityduring summer holidays. Christiansnow on Social Security are being encouraged to spend from a few monthsto a few years in mission work in Europe. Other Christians may want to take
a year or two from the regular work inAmerica and give this part of their lifeto this extremely satisfying ministryof helping those who cannot help themselves. Such individuals will be incorporated into our program and used effectively for the glory of Christ,
HOSPITALITY HOUSE
The Hospitality House might wellbe called a "benevolent arm" of our
European ministry, but we envision amuch broader use of this importantfacility.
(1) Individuals from communist-dominated countries are allowed to visit
in western Europe, but they must havean invitation assuring full payment ofall expenses for the visitor. The Hospitality House will serve primarily asa home for these people who can visitfor a few weeks. They will have cleancomfortable lodging, good food, andabove all the finest of Christian fellow
ship with an "average American family"serving as host and hostess. While no
"SOME STIRRING FACTS ABOUT EUROPE."
"Though Europe contains 15 per cent of the world's populationonly 2 per cent of North America's missionaries serve there.
"More Europeans than the whole population of the United Stateshave yet to see a copy of the Bible.
"A Chicago-sized population from Europe enters eternityeach year.
"There are more evangelical foreign missionaries in Haiti andin Jamaica than in all of Europe.
"Over a quarter of a million towns and villages in Europe donot have an adequate gospel witness.
"Most of Europe's 73 million children between the ages of fiveand fourteen have never heard the gospel."
-"Used by permission from Le t Europe Hea r. Moody Press, MoodyBible Institute ofChicago."
classroom and blackboard arrangementis planned for instructing these visitors,every conversation will be Christ-centered and aimed at teaching thevisitor. The visitor will then return
home, inspired and challenged to moreeffective service, and eager to help usdo more for Christ in his country.
(2) Homeless people, often fromcommunist countries need help. A fewdays ago a Christian brother, anescapee from communism, arrived inVienna and had nowhere to go. How wewish the Hospitality House had beenfunctioning!
(3) A Christian Service Camp program is planned around the HospitalityHouse. We can already bring youngpeople from Yugoslavia, and expect tobring youth from other countries in thefuture. Certainly a camp for free Europeis anticipated, too.
(4) A European Christian Conference Center using the facilities of theHospitality House could mean much tofuture expansion of the kingdom allacross this great continent.
(5) A "Christian Training Center"is definitely in the plans. We do notanticipate the typical Bible Collegearrangement, but are already exploringseveral unique ideas to meet the special needs of Europe, possibly usingshort-term intensified courses.
(6) The Hospitality House willalso serve as a temporary home forshort-term missionaries.
No doubt other uses for the Hospitality House will develop as the project matures, but already the prospectscarry special excitement since this willbe the only known such Christian Service Center operating in Europe.
THE CHALLENGE
Obviously we believe somethingcan be done for Christ in Europe. God'sSpirit has guided in victory after victoryfor Christ in this difficult part of theworld. More must be done than those
of us now laboring can do.Wise Solomon wrote. Where there is
no vision, the people perish. Theskeptic, the critic, the doubter, theunbeliever or the communist, all serv
ants of Satan, say, "nothing can bedone," and their attitude lets "the people perish,"
We have a vision! We see multitudesenslaved by communism, but we havea vision of the Redeemer standing withHis arms outstretched even to thosewho curse Him, deny Him, and persecute His Church, saying, Come untome! Our vision gives us the answer tothe suffering multitudes. Our visionputs us to work for God's only begottenSon and man's only Saviour!
PRESENT MISSIONARIES
Already several Christians haveheard the call and are preparing forservice in this challenging project.GENE DULIN, director of T.C.M. willlead in the development. He andLENORA DULIN will be arriving inEurope May 29 for five months of work,DON and RUTH POORMAN(see articleon page 3) will be arriving in Viennalate in July, The DEWEY THACKSTONFAMILY are scheduled to arrive inAustria Sept. 2. THE DAN CHAMBERSFAMILY plan to arrive in Vienna inthe spring of 1972 to serve as host andhostess of the Hospitality House.FRIEDA ROSSOL will move to Vienna
next spring to serve in the ViennaWork Center.
OTHER MISSIONARIES NEEDED
other individuals and families are
currently considering involvement inthis gospel invasion of Europe andwill be making decisions in the monthsahead. Some are planning to spend several weeks in Europe this summer attheir own expense to acquaint themselves with the field as they makedecisions.
Several additional workers are
needed. Some of these must have Bible
college degrees, but we do not believethe evangelization of the world is theresponsibility of Bible College graduates solely. Frankly, if this were thecase, THE WORLD WOULD NEVER BE
EVANGELIZED. Already dedicatedChristians who have secular educationhave made decisions to use their life
for Christ in this challenging mission..We need others. The first qualificationis that the individual know the Lord
and be willing to be used for His glory.If you are willing to put your life orethe line for Christ and are willing togo through the doors He opens, thenget in touch with us. We believe"There's a place for every worker inthe vineyard of the Lord." We'd behappy to help you find your place.
COLLEGE STUDENTS NEEDED
College students, as many as adozen, can be used in Europe duringthe summer of 1972. These should bejunior or senior students in either BibleCollege or secular colleges, but aboveall they must be dedicated to Christ,and determined to serve Him.
RETIRED PEOPLE NEEDED
People who have retired or will bein the next months or years, and are ingood health, can serve effectively, ifthey are willing. The retired farmer, orteacher, or factory worker or officeworker can find a fulfillment in this
work never experienced in their yearsof secular activity.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED
Your fervent prayers are needed inthese days of development. Pray especially for the Spirit to guide as decisions are made and as additional missionaries are recruited.
Perhaps you are one who shouldgo to Europe, or you know someonewith special qualifications who couldserve effectively there.
If you can't go yourself, surely youwill want to help send someone else.This project to evangelize Europe willrequire many dollars of support, butthe Lord knew it would take money whenHe gave the great commission to evangelize the world. God's people willrespond to His challenge.
We will appreciate your lettersregarding this challenging and excitingministry. Write us at Toronto ChristianMission. P.O. Box 220. Station N. Toronto 14. Ontario.

WORLD-WIDE BROADCASTING SUNDAY-JUNE 13
The second Sunday of Juneis observed each yearas a special day of prayerfor Gospel broadcasters. We, here at Toronto Christian Mission, certainly recognizethe tremendous importance of prayer.
Unquestionably, the greatest power available to any broadcaster is thatpower obtained through prayer: prayer in which he engages himself; and. prayeroffered by others in his behalf.
The Radio Department of T.C.M. earnestly solicits your prayers—not onlyon this special Sunday-but regularly andfaithfully. Charles Branum and John K. Hukboth recognize their need tor wisdom and strength-imparted of God-to produceprograms which will effectively challenge and comfort spiritually-hungry soulsbehind the Iron Curtain.
Also, we would like to suggest that an offering for the Russian broadcastbe taken on June 13th as well. The medium of radio is strategic to the fulfillmentof the Great Commission. This generation must reach this generation. There's noother way!

NEW MISSIONARIES TO T.C.M.
Don
Poorman
Family
To
Vienna
Don Poorman has met the challengeof Europe with a decision to move hisfamily to Vienna in July to begin missionary work. Bro. Poorman will begiving general administrative oversightto the work in Europe in cooperationwith Gene Dulin, director of the Mission.In Bro. Dulin's absence from Vienna,Bro. Poorman will carry the decisionmaking responsibilities.
Bro. Poorman comes to T.C.M. withstrong qualifications for his responsibilities and service. He served asprincipal of Bedford Elementary schoolin Dearborn Heights (Detroit). Michigan,for seven years. Previously he hadclassroom and counseling experience.He has also served as minister ofchurches in Liberal, Union Star, andOrchid, Missouri: Sylvania, Ohio; andYpsilanti, Michigan. The past four yearshe has been a missionary, teacher, andhead-master in Rhodesia.
Bro. Poorman attended Johnson
Bible College before graduating fromMinnesota in 1949. He had additionalwork at Ozark. In 1958 he received aB.S. in Education and in 1960 a Masters
in Counseling and Administration fromEastern Michigan University. He hasother work at Wayne and Michigan StateUniversities.
Mrs. Poorman is a graduate ofJohnson Bible College and also has aB.S. in Art from Eastern Michigan University. She also had work in Minnesotaand Ozark. She did substitute teachingin Michigan and has taught four yearsin Rhodesia.
The Poormans have two children-
Mark, 19, and Maria, 16. Mark has beenactive in preaching in Rhodesia andhas started two preaching points. Thefirst four months of 1971 he had 111
baptisms, iwaria nas one more year ofhigh school.
Ruth Don
Maria Mark
The Poormans have been long-timefriends of T.C.M. and the Dulins and
other missionaries with T.C.M. Hehelped in camp activities and development in Canada, supplied pulpits onoccasion, and shared in many ways inthe work of the Mission. When he was
considering missionary work inRhodesia, he conferred with Gene Dulin,and was advised to go look the workover and then make his decision. In
those days, Gene Dulin wrote CyrilSympkins that the Poormans were submissive to the Lord's leading. God ledthem to Rhodesia for four successfulyears of missionary endeavor, but conditions there prohibit construction ofadditional schools, which was Bro.Poorman's chief object. Because ofthis he feels he is no longer neededthere and returned to America "seekingthe Lord's guidance.'
At that time extensive; plans beingformulated for" the European project ofT.C.M. were nebulous. They neededsome cohesiveness before they would"jell." A telephone call from Don Poor-man started that "jelling" process, andthe conferences that followed resulted
in Bro. Poorman's decision to assume
leadership responsibility in Vienna.This decision moves the entire evan
gelistic program in Europe ahead onefull year. Indeed the Poormans havebeen "submissive to the Lord's
le^ing."The supporting churches of the
Poormans have been most understandingof their decision and have given encouragement in it. Some additionalsupport has been forthcoming. ThePoormans must have additional living-link funds, and funds for relocation.They can be reached by writing DonPoorman, Toronto Christian Mission,P.O. Box 220, Station N. Toronto 14,Ontario.
^ditoriatWE WANT TO DO
SOMETHING"We want to do something for
Christ!" We want to do something forEurope! We want to do something aboutthe evils of atheistic communism! Thedisillusioned says Christianity ismeaningless and irrelevant as he seesthe rituals and trappings of a secularized church. Marx and his contemporaries threw away the church and turnedto Communism. Robert Evans, authorof Let Europe Hear says, "Communismis the product of the spiritual bankruptcy of 'Christian' Europe."
In this age dedicated to the overthrowing of the "establishment,"Biblical morality is forgotten and a permissive society runs rampant. Much ofthat which plagues our country—Hippies,Beatlemania, immodesty, nudity-foundits beginning in Europe.
Atheistic communism developed inEurope and moves across the world.Instead of doing something to destroycommunism at its roots, professionalopportunists have found considerablefinancial gain by creating and developing fear and hatred in the heart of theconcerned patriot of America. Neitherfear nor hatred are Christian attributes.Seeing an evil, the Christian meets itwithout fear or hatred, but rather withfaith. The Christian knows adeterminedand positive application of gospel truthwill change the heart of man and thecourse of the world.
Communism is a religion with Leninas "saviour" and his writings as thebasis of authority. Religion cannot bedestroyed by military might, but mustbe replaced with a superior religion.The GOSPEL OP JESUS CHRIST is
the only power in the world today capable of destroying Communism. Communist nations labeling the Bible as"Subversive Literature' show they toorecognize the gospel as being powerfulenough to undermine and destroy theirsystem.
TO DO SOMETHING for Christ,to do something for Europe, and to dosomething about the evils of Communism then means we must do one thing—OBEY CHRIST. He said. Go into allthe world and preach the gospel. Thisincludes communist-dominated countries. The Apostle Paul, laboring underthis great commission, and in a hostileGentile world, wrote, I determined notto know anything among you save JesusChrist and him crucified. This is whatChrist wants. This is what Europeneeds. This is what will destroy Communism.
This is what we will do, withGod's help!

EUROPE-A MISSION FIELD?"If I had my life to live over again,
I'd be a missionary to Europe!" cries aseasoned missionary. "How could I finda more challenging field than Europe?"asks the dedicated young Christian."There is no place where we can usethese last years of our lives more effectively than in Europe," says the manand wife who have just retired on SocialSecurity.
What is the challenge of Europe?Souls, lost! Millions! Over 460 millionof them! This is the challenge. We asa people have barely scratched the surface. As far as we know, there are onlytwo completely self-supporting congregations established by Christian Churchmissionaries in western Europe. A dozenor fifteen missionary families sent byour brethren are serving in all of westernEurope—over 200 million souls. Literally tens of thousands of cities inEurope have never heard the simplemessage of New Testament Christianity.Challenging? What Christian can helpbut be moved!
And look at the communist-domi
nated countries of Europe. A quarterof a billion souls live in eastern Europe,150 million in European Soviet Unionalone, and another 100 million in sat
ellite countries. Granted—communism is
atheistic and hostile to Christian work,but that doesn't negate the commandof Jesus to PREACH THE GOSPEL TO
EVERY CREATURE. These millionsare included and we who know Christ
must use our God-given intelligenceand ingenuity to find ways to fullfilthe marching orders of the Commander-in-chief.
The uninformed will ask. "Europe—a mission field? "But a look at the emptycathedrals, the complete corruption ofmorality, the liberal theology, and themeaningless rituals of the church ofEurope will reveal how few Europeansknow the saving power of the blood ofChrist. To civilize is not to Chris
tianize! Europe is filled with "civilizedpagans." In our twentieth century wesee that history has gone a full circleback to the first century and THE OLDEST MISSION FIELD IS NOW THE
NEWEST. Noplace in the world is morestrategic or prime for missionary activity, and yet of all the world, Europehas the lowest ratio of missionariesin proportion to population. May Godraise up hundreds-even thousands—tomeet the challenge of this day!
YOU'RE THE GREATEST!! by GENE DULINAs of May 12. of the goal of $16,000
to wipe out the deficit, undergird theDulin's summer missionary work inEurope, provide funds for radio work,and print the Romanian hymnbook,$10,100 has been received-meaningwe are $5,900 away from the full underwriting of these special projects.Again. "You're the greatest!"
And now we are in sight of the goal.We are confident you, one of God'speople, and an individual concernedabout preaching the gospel behind theiron curtain, will share in seeing us goover the top. We believe the $5900will come to meet the challenge, andwe are proceeding with our summerplans, Lenora and I have arranged todepart for the summer work in EuropeMay 28 and will be back sometime inOctober, or early November, as theLord leads. We can do this for God
because "You're the greatest!"
All across America, living in metropolitan areas, in cities, in small hamlets, and out on the farm, live the"greatest"—our supporters—you, yourneighbor, your friends, God's people.No one has more faithful friends thanwe have, and no one could appreciatesuch friends more than we do here atToronto Christian Mission.
In our March REPORT FROMTORONTO we discussed the necessaryfunds for the summer work, and alsoreported on a deficit, which had comeabout largely because of a change inthe value of the Canadian dollar. Inour fourteen years, this was the firstdeficit we had ever incurred, and itdeveloped while I was in Europe. Needless to say,2i:e wanted to get that paid,and obviously you did, too. On April28 we were able to mark the deficitPAID IN FULL. "You're the greatest!"

TORONTO CHRISTIAN MISSION, INC.REPORTS ON THE LORD'S WORK IN RUSSIA,
OTHER COMMUNIST-DOMINATED LANDS,VIENNA, AUSTRIA AND WESTERN EUROPE
June, 1971
^lie ^veriaitin^ ^oApei NOW BEAMING FROM . . .
Radio Monte Carlo
It is always a joy to share goodnews! Thus, we are happy to make theannouncement that Toronto Christian
Mission's Russian-language radio program. "The Everlasting Gospel," isnow being broadcast from Eladio MonteCarlo in Monaco!
Without question, this powerfulstation is very popular with residentsof the Iron Curtain countries. The ad
vice given by knowledgeable individuals. both in Eastern and Western
Europe, has been to get our program onRadio Monte Carlo if at all possible.
Realizing the importance of theradio ministry in reaching and encouraging people of Communist-dominatedlands, Gene and Lenora Dulin alongwith John K. Huk, visited the officesand studios of Radio Monte Carlo sev
eral years ago. Negotiations werestarted at that time, with the view inmind of getting a program-in the Russian language - on their broadcast schedule. Since then, there has been corre
spondence, prayer, personal contacts,prayer, repeated audition tapes, andMORE PRAYER! As a result, a long-cherished dream has become a reality.On June 3, our program - with John Hukas speaker - began beaming from TransWorld Radio facilities in Monte Carlo.We are thereby virtually assured of anaudience of many thousands more thanwe have previously enjoyed.
Roy Hertzog, engineer at MonteCarlo, told the Keswick Convention inEngland last summer that in the Soviet
Union, Christian leaders assert that at
least one million people listen regularly to any program beamed in. iWovingmessages of gratitude are often rec eivedby the station in Monaco because oftheir broadcasts.
A fifteen-minute segment is being
made available to us at a cost of $54a week. The financial requirements ofthe radio ministry now stand at $214each week. This represents a sizeableexpenditure, to be sure, but there aretwo and three-quarters hours of time involved. (Our readers will recall that
five 15-minute Scripture Reading programs, in Russian, are being aired byDZASin Manila on a sustaining basis.)
A pressing need continues for theseGospel broadcasts to be underwrittenfinancially. Individuals, Bible schoolclasses,youth groups, mission committees, and churches are asked to consider the challenge of our Iron Curtainradio ministry, and to make a financialcommitment now! One-time gifts areneeded: special offerings are needed;but, above all, regular monetary support
is imperative if we are to continue thisvital outreach for Christ!
God has provided us with an "OpenDoor" at Monte Carlo. We do not believe
that His People will let this become a"closed door" due to lack of funds! But,an indication of your active interest inthis communications thrust is urgentlyrequested immediately!
our program has been given a time-slot that is almost ideal for Moscow
reception: 6:00 P.M. each Thursday.Please be much in prayer that thoseproducing the tapes in Toronto may be
given wisdom and strength: and, thatthe broadcasts from Monaco will be
used mightily of the Lord in saving andedifying precious souls!
A thrilling aspect in connectionwith Radio »Monte Carlo is that the
building now housing the transmitterswas orisinally built by Hitler duringWW II to be used as a Nazi propagandastation. The war ended, however, before it could be used for that perniciouspurpose-so now, messages of the Gospel of Christ are transmitted ail acrossEurope and northern Africa. God doesindeed work in wondrous ways!
In addition to programming at RadioMonte Carlo and Manila, Toronto Christian Mission continues to produce a 30-minute broadcast for use on RadioTrans Europa in Lisbon. Portugal. Howwe thank the Lord for these OPEN
DOORS of spiritual opportunity as westrive to use the medium of radio for
the spreading of the message of Christto thousands of needy souls!
This building on Mt. Agel was builtby Hitler for Nazi Radio but now houses
transmitters leased by Radio MonteCarlo to TWR for Gospel broadcasting.

Broadcasts from Radio Monte Carloare carefully monitored in the Soviet
Union. The following letter - captionedINTERNATIONAL LETTER - appearedin the December 1970 issue of a Russian-language magazine called Scienceand Religion. The programs referred towere not supplied by Toronto ChristianMission. As stated on the front page ofthis Report, our broadcasts did not begin at Monaco untiljune3,1971. Translated by John K.Huk, the letter appearsbelow in part:
"For The Preachers of Monte Carlo—Highly Resvected Gentlemen: For along time I have regularly listened toyour radio preaching and imagine! up tothis time I remain the same atheist thatI was before! You may ask, 'Why?' Until now, I would not have been able toanswer this question myself. Listeningto your daily warm invitations to acceptJesus Christ as my personal Saviour, Iwas dismayed. Why doesn't this appealproduce in me the slightest desire tofollow your invitations? And only recently, listening to your message ofMay 9, 1970, I finally understood why.
"In this message there is a placeworthy of quotation; 0/ course, if youdo not believe the authenticity of theGosvel (New Testament) and rejectits inspiration, then you do not have tolisten to me . . .
"Very likely this statement has themeaning that be fore I listento yourmes-sage, I have to believe in the authenticity and inspiration of the Gospel. , .Therefore, it is required of me that Ishould accept this book (the Bible) asauthentic and inspired. On what basis?To recognize the inspiration of it, firstof all one has to believe in God, butyour concluding words were, . . . thenyou do not have to listen to me. Doesthis mean that for the person who can
They Are Listening!not be persuaded to believe in the authenticity and inspiration of the NewTestament there is no profit to listento you?
"For whom are you laboring? Is itonly for those who believe? Then whatis the sense of daily calling disbelievers to receive Jesus Christ as theirpersonal Saviour? It is reasonable tosuppose that they accepted Him a longtime ago.
"To me, it is very interesting andstrange that you eagerly quote from theApostle Paul, who called himself theleast of the apostles and do not quotefrom the Apostle James, one of thegreatest apostles., .Here are the wordsof James 2:14: What doth it profit, mybrethren, though a man say he hath faithand have not works? Can faith savehim? And verse 26: For as the bodywithout the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. You are verystubbornly preaching the thesis thatonly faith, and not works, saves a person. You refer to dozens of places inthe Word of God to prove this point. Isit possible to ignore and fail to quoteat least one place which says the opposite? . . . How then is it possible tobelieve in the authenticity of the Bibleas demonstrated by your loyalty to it?
". . . As it is seen, not a singlething in your message is able to standbefore criticism. By the way, a fewwords about criticism. It seems to methat you religious preachers are afraidof criticism more than anything else.You are calling upon us to believe without thinking . . . and recalling so manyof your messages, they all fall apartwithout any logical connection. Everyone of your messages, after seriousconsideration, seems to me to be builton the wind."
B. Tomckin. EngineerCity of Klipeda, USSR
A careful reading of the foregoingletter will reveal quite a challenge. Itshows the type of audience with which
0 i-> P-ti

we are dealing in our radio ministry.Many of our listeners, to be sure, arecommon laborers and farmers; but thereare also science-oriented men and wo
men, and other intellectuals. Such individuals will not be impressed withthe usual religious cliches, and theyreadily detect inconsistencie s - whetherin Biblical doctrine or logic.
Studio at Monte Carlo
How vitally important then, thatgreat care be exercised in the preparation of messages for use on radio!The material needs to be fully documented, both Scripturally and from thestandpoint of defense of the faith. Thisis clearly demonstrated by the letterfrom the Soviet engineer. He recognizes the untenable position of the radio preacher in his "faith only" doctrine, and he delivers a rather bitingrebuke for an apparent "lack of loyalty"to the Word being proclaimed. Additionally, the minister "under fire" couldwell benefit from the writer's wordsrelative to just who it is that he is trying to reach and convince. So, the workof the Iron Curtain broadcaster - andthose laboring with him-calls for greatresourcefulness together with a comprehensive grasp of the teaching ofGod's Word.
Early this Fall, Rod Huron, aseasoned writer of exceptional insightand ability, will become a member ofthe Toronto Christian Mission staff. Hewill have the responsibility of preparing and editing all materials used inthe printing and radio ministries. Hisarrival in Toronto is eagerly anticipated.

NEW STAFF MEMBER FOR RUSSIAN DEPARTMENT
Through the years of developmentof the Russian Department of Toronto
Christian Mission, one major concern
to many people has been to find an
assistant for John K. Huk. This calls
for an individual fully capable of as
suming leadership in the Russian phaseof mission activity at some point inthe future. With the expansion of the
radio and printing ministries, the need
for ian assistant for Bro. Huk has al
ready become almost acute.
Bro. John Huk is a dedicated man
of God, with a real passion for the soulsof the people of his native Russia. Hiscommand of the Russian language makes
him a'"most needed man' among ourbrethren to reach behind the Iron Cur
tain with the message of Christ.
An assistant in such a highlyspecialized field is not easy to find.
The person must be fluent in Russian,which means that it is virtually necessary that he be of Russian parentageand speak the language as his first lan
guage. An individual with a "learned"language never speaks exactly like thenative. Beyond this, the assistant mustbe a dedicated Christian, doctrinallysound, and dedicated to the principles
of New Testament Christianity. He must
also be well-educated, not only in Scripture, but also knowledgeable concern
ing the world in which he lives. Heshould be young, in order to give manyyears of service to this vital ministry.
And after all this, he must be interestedin a Christian ministry and willing tobe used in this very specialized way.Again, suck a man is very hard to find!
Through the guidance of the Lord,we rejoice to announce that such a man
has accepted the challenge to come to
Toronto Christian Mission, to share in
our ministry of taking the Gospel of
Christ to people behind the Iron Curtain.
George Repetski, the son of aRussian Christian Church minister, whohas lived in Canada many years, willbe moving to Toronto in August to begin his specialized work. George'sfather was a minister before the war.
The elder Mr. Repetski and his wifewere taken from Russia to Germany dur
ing the war. George was bom in a Displaced Persons camp there. After WW2his parents came to Canada rather thanreturn to the Soviet Union. His father
has preached for Russian Christians in
western Canada, and has supported hisfamily by doing secular work.

George grew up in this Christianenvironment where Russian was the
first language, but where it was neces
sary to speak in English also in orderto go to school and play with friends.A graduate of the University of Saskatoon, with a Bachelor's degree, Georgewas awarded a Masters Degree from the
University of Alberta, in May, 1971.He taught Russian language in the University while doing graduate work. Histhesis required extensive reading andresearch in Russian novels, although
the dissertation was written in English.
George's wife, Lucille, is aregistered nurse and also a dedicatedChristian. To discuss the meaning offaith with this young couple is a refreshing experience. Although both ofthem have been educated in secular col
leges, their faith is solid and sure. Theyhave a sincere desire to follow everyteaching of the New Testament, andtheir Russian "restoration movement"
background is evident. Furthermore,they possess a strong desire to be usedas Christian missionaries.
Once again, God has opened a door.It has been necessary for us to move
out on faith in bringing this young cou
ple to work with Toronto Christian Mission. Due to the fact that these youngpeople have spent the greater part oftheir lives getting an education in Canada, they are virtually unknown amongthe churches of America. Nevertheless,
they have the faith and talent to do ajob for Christ that no one else, to ourknowledge, can do. We have promisedthem that we will not let them starve.
To keep this commitment, however, wemust have some living-link support forthem. There are Russian-speaking

All your contributions to T.C.M. are tax deductible.
Christians, living in Canada, who willcertainly assist them, but there are notenough of these people to supply theneed.It would mean a great deal to me,as well as to all the missionaries work
ing through Toronto Christian Mission,
if you or your congregation or class,would make a monthly commitment to
ward the livingrlink support of this out
standing young couple.
It would be a special expression of
concern from you for the ministry ofBro.Huk as well. But you can imagine whatit would mean to the Repetskis, whohave not been privileged to fellowship
with Christians in the States (such as
attending the North American or Missionary conventions, or visiting Christian churches in the United States.)Such tangible expressions of committedliving-link support would certainly encourage them in their willingness to
serve Christ!
I will be in Russia- in fact far into
Siberia - when you read this. But, I'll
be praying that you will do what youcan to help this young couple. Lenoraand I are personally committing $10 permonth toward the living-link of theRepetskis. This is just one-half of aday's need. We know it isn't a greatdeal, but it's a start. Perhaps you canmeet one day's need ($20) or a week'sneed ($140), or perhaps God has soblessed you that you personally couldpay the entire $600 per month neededby this Christian couple to live in Toronto. I know you will do what you can,and that God will bless you; but even
beyond this, you will provide for thecontinuation of the Gospel's beingpreached behind the Iron Curtain - thatmen may be saved, and atheistic communism destroyed. --Gene Dulin
Summer WorkerWray Graham, student at Ozark Bible
College, is serving as a summer workerat Toronto Christian Mission, lendingvaluable assistance in the radio de
partment. He began his duties on June 2.In addition to his Bible studies at
OBC, Brother Graham has worked withthe radio station on the college campus. and has taken courses in electronics. He is. therefore^ both interested and qualified in the field ofcommunications.
Another factor worthy of mentionis that Wray was a member of the 1970Tour Group that visited Russia andPoland. So he has an understanding ofthe needs of the people we are reaching by means of the Iron Curtain radioministry.

WHATMany people are gravely concerned
about atheistic communism. It is well
to be informed about the evils of an
enemy, but information that only creates fear and hatred, and does nothingto destroy the evil at its sources isinformation of little value.
SOMETHING CAN BE DONE!
Recently Brother Andrew, author
of God's Smuggler, suggested somethings to be done. Some of his ideasare adapted in the following article,
which we trust will challenge you todo what you can.(1) STOP THINKING NEGATIVELY.
Borders are not closed to business,to hippies, or to tourists, and are notclosed to the Gospel. It merely requires
us to use our God-given ingenuity tofind a way to preach the Gospel.
(2) THE CONFLICT OF THE WORLD
IS IDEOLOGICAL OR RELIGIOUS
rather than purely political. Commu
nism is a religion. Only Christianityhas the power to destroy this falsephilosophy of man. Communism, whichcommands the complete allegiance of
its adherants, struggles to capturethe souls of all men. It has been most
effective in the last two generations,as approximately one-third of the
world's population has become dominated by communist governments.(3) PRAY FERVENTLY for the Chris
tian workers behind the iron curtain.Pray for them as they travel, as they
preach and teach, as they witness,whether they are businessmen, tourists,or students.
Encourage your minister to praypublicly for the work behind the iron
curtain, and to encourage his peopleto pray.

CAN WE DO?Pray that Bibles and other Chris
tian materials will be made available
to these people who know not the truth.
(4) TAKE BIBLES AND NEW TESTAMENTS with you as you travel intothese countries. There are no part-
time Christians. If on a trip to a com
munist country we cannot act like a
Christian, then we are probably not
Christians at all. Write us for infor
mation.
(5) ASK. "LORD, WHAT WOULD YOUHAVE ME TO DO?" Students can do
post-graduate work in communist countries. Besides work among the nationals and students, they can witness in
local churches and also contact other
foreign students who may be therefrom under-developed countries. Contact them now for Christ, and avoid
future overthrows of free governments.
Other Christians can find ways to reachbehind the iron curtain.
(6) CONSIDER TAKING A PROJECT,either as an individual, a class, or
other group, to assist in the work behind the iron curtain. Sometimes we
can provide tape recorders, clothes,literature, even food for these people.Surely you as a Christian will want todo something.(7) CONTACT NATIONALS FROM
THE COMMUNIST WORLD that travel
in our world. Cultivate their friendshipand confidence. Witness for Christ.
Prove that Christianity means something!
(8) GIVE SERIOUS ATTENTION TO
THIS VITAL MINISTRY. Since "one-
third of the world is within the com
munist bloc, that means at least one-
third of our attention, one-third of ourprayers and one-third of our givingshould be for this area. But because
this area is such a threat to the whole
world and so revolutionary, so aggressive, we ought therefore to do muchmore than just one-third."

REPORT ON . . .
Th
Dulins'
European TourLetters and cards from Gene and
LenoraDulin indicate that all is going
well with them in their European travelsthis summer. Their first stop was
Lisbon, Portugal, where they had the
opportunity to visit Radio Trans Europa,the station which carries TCM's 30-
minute Russian-language broadcast
each week. Gene was impressed with
the station's power and potetnial, and
feels that in being able to beam our
programs from this 250,000 watt facil
ity, we have been provided with anotherof God's "open doors."
After arriving in Vienna, Austria
they picked up the camper, which had
been parked there during the winter(and which was in excellent condition).
They also received the Christian literature which had been sent from Tor
onto. The Dulins then made their wayinto East Germany and Poland, in thecity of Warsaw Gene participated inspecial services marking the FiftiethAnniversary of the church of Christ in
Poland. Visits were made to Polish
congregations in other sections of the
country as well.July 8 Gene and Lenora entered
Czechoslovakia and on July 14 they
went into the Soviet Union. This year,
for the first time, several stops will be
made in Siberia.
Please be much in prayer for theDulins' safety and effective witnessfor Christ. On July 26 they will leaveMoscow for Vienna, where they will
meet the Don Poorman family. Then
investigative work will begin in ear
nest. looking forward to the establishment of the Christian Center in Austria.

1971 MISSIONARY TOUR
Midway Report by GENE DULIN
This summer of missionary work hastaken Lenora and me to Russia, Poland,East Germany and Czechoslovakia. Westill have nearly two weeks to spend inCzechoslovakia, several days in Hungary. and then several more days inVienna assisting in preparatory plansfor the Vienna base, and giving pointersfor other missionaries to make visita
tion tours into some areas where we
will not be going this year.Friends continually ask about the
work of the church in these communist
dominated countries. Several years ofcontact in most of the eastern Europeancountries do allow us some basis for
comment, although no one can be sufficiently informed to be called a "specialist' or "expert." Conditions changedaily, and even from one area to another in the same country, differentattitudes and conditions will prevailthe same day. All we can do is to tellwhat we have seen and what we know,and what we have observed through theyears of visitation and work. And evenhere, it is not easy to be totally objective since we come from the background of non-denominational Christianity carefully nurtured in progressiveAmerica where individual initiative and
private enterprise have fostered the development of the church as we know ittoday.
We have just returned from nearlytwo weeks in Russia. This year, as inother years, we had opportunity topreach, to talk with Christian leadersand other members of the church, andto observe the church at work. We went
to the heart of Siberia—out on the Mon
golian border. We went down on theChinese border and back to the
Afghanistan border. We went to placeswhere few westerners ever go. In onechurch the last visitation from the west
had been over two years ago.I preached everywhere I went. The
Russian Christian doesn't want time
wasted in the pulpit with foolish andmeaningless stories. Likewise, theydislike political discussions even fromtheir own preachers. They want to hear
the Gospel! After all, they stand forhours after a long journey to the smalland crowded meeting house. Thesemeetings are the source of instruction
Preacher, interpreter andBro. Dulinin pulpit in Russia.
on life. Thank God they know what theywant to hear. And it sounds strangelysimiliar to my personal philosophy,which just happens to coincide withthat of the Apostle Paul, For I determined not to know anything among you,save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.(I Cor. 2:2)
In one church I visited, the ministerasked my Christian interpreter to urge
me not to tell funny stories or to wastethe time. My interpreter didn't even mention this to me until the next day. Iasked why not and he said, "I've heardyou preach for eight years and I knewyou didn't need that admonition." Unfortunately lots of Americans who have
an opportunity to preach in the communist world don't seem to recognize theneed of those people to whom theyspeak. I heard an American preach inMoscow; rather, I heard an American inthe Moscow pulpit not too long ago. Hespent fifteen minutes talking and didn'tsay anything to strengthen the faith ofthe people or to encourage them. Hedidn't even read from the Word. Whenhis time was already gone he tried tobring a spiritual thought, but the congregation had long sines "turned himoff." (This man was not from the Christian Church.)
In Siberia, the building was filledwith only a few people standing. I wassurprised at this large crowd, since apouring rain had set in the night beforeand hadn't slackened a bit. But thepeople came. They walked for milesand their clothes were dripping wet,but they came. And they stayed throughout the long service. Never have Ipreached to a more attentive crowd. Iused the message entitled, "HaveFaithin God."
Our visit down on the Chinese
border was unannounced.Our plane hadbeen delayed two days, and thebrethrendidn't know we were coming. We got to
(Continued on page 2)
- • 1971 TOUR • Midway Report - - (continued from front page)
the church building when services werealready half over, but immediately iwas asked to preach.The most excitingthing here was the 40-voice youth choir.And people say there are no young people in the church in Russia and thatthere is no hope for the church! Theyhaven't been there! I have never seenmore enthusiasm. I've never been more
encouraged!
Our next stop took us to a choirrehearsal, and a lengthy conferencewith Christians. We compared points ofdoctrine, methods of work, and congregational activity. One question askedhere, and everywhere we went, was regarding the second coming of the Lord.The brethren in Russia believe He's
coming again, and soon! I told themI agreed.
Our last Sunday found us in thecity of Volgograd on a day when temperatures hit a record high of over 130®in the sun and over 120° in the shade;and there is no air conditioning in allof Volgograd, let alone at church! I predicted a record crowd that morning - arecord low. But I was wrong. The building was filled with every seat taken,every aisle full, the porch filled, andpeople standing outside the windowsso they could hear. I preached an evangelistic message. "Come and See," inwhich we urged all men to "take a lookat Jesus." I spoke for over 40 minutes,but the careful attention of the peopleassured me it wasn't too long. Lenorawas asked to extend greetings andspeak for a few minutes. She also sanga solo, "How Great Thou Art," and thecongregation joined in on the chorus.
In that meeting I saw once againthe power of the Gospel. Politicians doa lot of talking about Russian-Americanpeace and unity, but we saw what ittakes to make Americans and Russians
"one" - Jesus Christ. In Him is the
peace that passeth all understandingand the perfect unity. May God give ustime to reach across the Soviet Union,yes, and America, with this gloriousand powerful message of Jesus Christ!
Our time in Poland was equallyexciting. Mr. and Mrs. Georges Carillettook two weeks of their summer camperholiday in Europe to travel with us inPoland and b e used of the Lord. Georgesgraduated from Emmanuel School of
Religion this past Spring and LaVernegraduated from Milligan. Georges and Iboth preached almost daily. Christiansgave us a friendly welcome and expressed again and again deep appreciation for my "fundamental preaching."

Poland, and I coordinated our messagesat the morning session of the 50th anniversary service of the church of Christin Poland. My sermon was "The Churchof Christ - What We Believe" and hespoke on "How We Witness." More than200 people were in attendance at thissession held in the building whereKostek Jakoniuk ministers.
In future publications I hope todiscuss more fully the work of Christ inPoland, and also in Germany and Czechoslovakia, but both space and time arelimiting me in this REPORT]
No article would be complete without mentioning the deep appreciationwe found everywhere for the radio programs sponsored by Toronto ChristianMission. Bro. John Huk's name is ahousehold word among theChristians of
Russia. Poland and Czechoslovakia,where he is heard as he preaches theGospel every day from either MonteCarlo, Lisbon or Manila. The programsare getting through and they are beingheard. We thank God for friends like youwho underwrite this expensive, but veryvital ministry.
Likewise, the hunger for the printedpage is readily seen. Our magazines,booklets, tracts, and Bibles are finding

their way into the hands of these people who need them so badly. As wehavetravelled we have seen people usingmaterial we have prepared years ago.The printed word has a durability thatcan be equalled by no other means ofcommunication.
In summary, we saw again howimportant each phase of the work ofToronto Christian Mission is, and howeach phase complements the other. Our
visitation gives personal contact andallows us to learn the effectiveness of
our past work and how to plan for thefuture. Our radio ministry gives consistency to the preaching as they hear themessage of Christ daily. Our printedpage allows for study, meditation andgrowth.
These three ministries, workingtogether, produce mature Christians exactly as the great commission charges.Go ye therefore and teach all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Fatherand of the Son and of the Holy Ghost,teaching them to observe all thingswhatsoever I have commanded you, andLo I am with you always, even untothe end of the world. This is the goalof every missionary associated withToronto Christian Mission and this is
what we are accomplishing.
ANNOUNCING!
* TCM BANQUET *SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30
at the Toronto Christian Mission
Work Center
(reservations requested)
Attention:
College StudentsTwelve to sixteen college students
are needed for the 1972 missionary workof Toronto Christian Mission in Europe.Students, witnessing for Christ in overten eastern and western European countries, will work out of the Vienna Hospitality House for at least eight weeks
during the summer. We are anxious tohave secular college students as wellas Bible College students involved inthis missionary endeavor. Campus ministers and missions professors are invited to suggest this opportunity ofservice to mature and dedicated youngpeople. Early decisions are Imperativeto allow the students adequate time foreducational, spiritual and financialarrangements. Please contact TCM,Box 220, Station N. Toronto 14, foradditional information.
Poormans Arrive in Vienna
Don Poorraan and son Mark arrived
in Vienna July 26 to begin developmentof Toronto Christian Mission's Viennabase of operation. Don will give leadership as the point of contact is openedin Mexikoplatz; as the HospitalityHouse is acquired and put into operation: as additional workers (both permanent and short-term) are recruited; and,as atotal church program isdeveloped.
IThe Poormans'
viewed from the back.Austrian home
"Let Europe
Hear"Let Europe Hear" will be the theme
of gatherings all across America between New Years and Easter, 1972. Inmany cases these will be area-widerallies with numerous churches participating,or perhaps an area men'sfellow-ship will be devoting their meeting tothe theme.In other instances there will
be "one-congregation" assemblies withspecial emphasis on Europe.
Different individuals associated
with Toronto Christian Mission will be
leading in these meetings. Gene Dulin,Don Poorman, and Dewey Thackstonwill be leading many of these rallies,but virtually every person associatedwith the Mission will participate astheir work schedule will allow.
If you would assist in arrangingsuch a rally for your area or for yourcongregation, please write Gene Dulin,BOX 220. STATION N, TORONTO 14,ONT. immediately, suggesting date,type of meeting, and speaker. Pleasegive alternates to allow us flexibilityso we can use time to the fullest with
the least possible travel expense.
Doors opened rapidly as Don beganhis work. He was able to rent a fully
furnished Austrian type house in theright area of the city at a reasonableprice. When Mrs. Poorman and daughterMaria arrive in a few days, everythingwill be in readiness.
Other first week contacts allowed
the purchase of a new model Volkswagenat an excellent price. Through this dealer, purchases of additional automobilescan be arranged at considerable saving for the Mission and missionaries.
Discussions with the American
school administrators brought the assurance that TCM missionaries would
have no problem getting their childrenadmitted to this excellent school, al
though tuition is quite high. The alternative to this is enrolling the childrenin the German language Austrianschools. This is a decision each mis
sionary family will have to make.
As this issue of the REPORT is
prepared, Don and Mark have alreadybeen in Czechoslovakia with theDulins
and are in Hungary just now for additional missionary work. Another mis
ocw
cJCadied toLenora Dulin has accepted some
speaking dates for this Winter and nextSpring. She is a challenging speakerand is sure to inspire her audience to acloser walk with Christ.
Several ladies of the Mission are
very capable speakers and do scheduledates as their work will allow. Area or
special ladies' meetings, mother-daugh-ter banquets, and other such meetingswould be especially appropriate forthese ladies: but their effectiveness is
not limited to ladies' meetings alone.If you want one of our lady mission
aries as a speaker, please write to TCM

TORONTO CHRISTIAN MISSION. INC.REPORTS ON THE LORD'S WORK IN RUSSIA,OTHER COMMUNIST-DOMINATED LANDS,
VIENNA.AUSTRIA AND WESTERN EUROPE
No. 151 Second-class Mail October, 1971
I have been! I have seen! I have done!I am challenged!
Words convey a message, explain
an impression and serve to inspire andchallenge. Pictures allow us to see aswell as to hear and give an added impact. But neither words nor pictures canstir the heart like being there and experiencing firsthand an event.
Lenora andihavebeen there.! have
preached to thousands of souls thissummer. I have seen the look in their
faces. I have heard them say, "We'llnever forget that sermon!" I have beentold that work of Toronto Christian
Mission resulted in "what amounts to a
mighty revival across our whole country!"
We have heard of villages where nopreacher lives, but where the Gospelis heard every day by radio as John Hukpreaches "The Everlasting Gospel."
I have seen mature and dedicated
Christian men scramble for DenverSizemore's "Christian Doctrine" out
lines in their own language. I've seentears of joy stream downaman's cheeksas he saw the first copies of materialprinted by Charles Sprenger back inToronto.
Young Christian preachers who hadno training for the ministry pleaded withme to secure for them "good books thatwill help us be better preachers." Oneurged me to come back to his countryas soon as possible. "You must comeoften and preach. Come and preach!Those sermons are what we need. Letnothing stop you!"
Yes, I have been there. And I AMCHALLENGED! How I wish I had the
words to convey this challenge to youso you would have the satisfaction of
accomplishment that comes from beingdirectly involved. And you are involvedbecause Christians like you provideprayer support and necessary funds thatwe might go and preach, see and know.
But it is not enough to simply 'bechallenged." We must meet the challenge, or the inspiration will die andthe good to be accomplished will belost. Having been there demands thatwe do more than we have ever done
before.
We must continue - yes, and evenexpand - our radio ministry. The IronCurtain is not soundproof. Millions ofpeople in Russia are hearing the Gospelbecause you and others like you aresharing in this ministry.
We must turn out more printed material telling the wonderful story ofJesus. The need for children's materialis acute. We have recently printed twobooklets, one dealing with simple factsabout the Bible and how to rightly divide the Word of Truth, and a second onprayer. These are being made availablein various Eastern European countriesas rapidly as translations are completed. With Rod Huron preparing thebasic material in English, we expectto greatly expand this area of our work.
And we must arrange for more people
to go and preach the Gospel all throughEastern Europe.To do this, our "EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR EVANGELISM" is
an imperative. Already the Poormansand Thackstons are in Vienna, butthey need adequate facilities. Andthese men cannot begin to do the jobalone. With God's help we anticipate

several mission families working for
Christ out of our European Centre forEvangelism, enabling us to do more forChrist in this part of the world and todo it more effectively.
May the words and pictures in thisREPORT challenge you, and may Godlead you to use your life to the fullestfor Christ. We are preparing severalslide sets dealing with this summer ofwork that we think will challenge you.
These will be listed in an early issueof the REPORT, but if you can usethese sets immediately, write us forinformation.

Our Decision to Work with T.C.M by GEORGES GARILLET
For several years my wife and Ihave been regular supporters of Toronto Christian Mission. Over the pasttwo years, as the Mission has expanded its outreach and effectiveness,we have been considering becomingmissionaries with T.C.M. Before mak
ing a definite decision, we wantedfirst-hand information of the Mission's
practices and principles and its overall contribution and effectiveness. We
had heard many good reports as wellas some words of suspicion and evencaustic accusations from this side of
the Iron Curtain. We wanted to hear
what those on the other side of the
Curtain had to say.
My wife and I celebrated ourgraduation from college by visiting myrelatives in France and camping inEurope for 45 days this summer. Wespent 18 days working with Gene andLenora Dulin, traveling from WestBerlin through East Berlin. Poland andCzechoslovakia to Vienna. I not onlysaw the Dulins at work, but was ableto preach 12 times, to share in manymeetings and conferences, and to makemany contacts.
To the Dulins, our camper becamea familiar image in their rear-viewmirror as we traveled from preachingplace to preaching place. Meanwhile,we were becoming more familiar withthe Dulins and the work of T.C.M. Each
evening and each morning we pliedthem with questions. And all the timewe were observing. Gene was veryfrank. Openness and honesty characterized his answers to myofttimes pointedquestions. Much in evidence was hisstrong insistence on principles of localautonomy, non-denominational Christianity. proper stewardship of Americanmissionary dollars, along with strong
emphasis on the Christians' in thesecountries doing all they can for themselves with as little interference from
American Christians as possible.We heard many comments from the
people in all these countries, and allwere favorable. Christian interpreters,as well as many other people who spokeEnglish, allowed us to learn of generalattitudes concerning the Mission's work.Some of these people, simple Christianswith limited knowledge or associationwith the American "Restoration Move
ment," could give an unbiased view ofToronto Christian Mission and theyhighly commended the Mission andurged continuation and expansion ofthe work. Their suggestions and advicewere welcomed. Time and again, re
marks from many men and quarters made
evident the need for missionaries who
could visit more often, and for somefacilities in Austria, or some otherwestern country, where Christians fromEastern Europe could go for Christiantraining and fellowship.
Toronto Christian Mission's three-
pronged program of a radio ministry, aprinting ministry and personal visitation has been well received and is
counted a blessing by the saints behind the Iron Curtain. The opening of a"European Center for Evangelism" willsignificantly enlarge the effectivenessof the Mission. For the most part,Christians behind the Iron Curtain areeager to conduct their own evangelism,but they need and deeply appreciatetools and encouragement from abroad.They need Bibles, hymnbooks, tracts,study guides and other Christian literature. The Christian leaders want to
study and grow, but to be equippedthemselves, they need our help. Theythen will equip others for the work ofthe ministry. (Eph. 4:11. 12)
After observing the Dulins andToronto Christian Mission at work in
Eastern Europe; after hearing the com-
Georges preaching in Poland, withinterpreter.
ments of many people there; and after_seeing the great need and opportunityto work for Christ there, we heartilycommend the work of Toronto Christian
Mission to all brethren. My wife and Iare doing more than to simply urge youto give prayerful and financial supportto T.C.M. We have decided to use the
next years of our lives as missionariesworking with others of Toronto Christian
Mission in their quest to evangelize,encourage and educate for Christ behind the Iron Curtain.
Living by faithWe work by faith. Preaching to a
microphone in our recording room inToronto is quite different from lookinginto the faces of worshippers in a Sun
day morning congregation. As our programs are written, preached, taped, andsent, we hold a picture in our mind ofthe waiting listeners, many of whom wemay never see personally.
And the message is being heard!During his summer tour this year in theSoviet Union, Mr. Dulin was told againand again how the brethren there listento the broadcasts. Replies such as this
letter tell us that countless listeners
wait faithfully for each broadcast.Here is a quotation from a letter
from the Soviet Union:
How fantastic the radio is. Each evening we gather people around the radioand listen to the Christian broadcasts.Thank you for remembering us. We fightthe good struggle of faith and are willing to suffer for Christ. But we receivepower and strength through theprograms.
These broadcasts are possible onlybecause of your support.

Dewey Thackston and Don Poormanwere being" driven on an errand by Don's
son, Mark, when their car bumped intoanother vehicle. When the police camethey faced an impossible situation.Those in Don's car spoke only English;those in the other car spoke only Yugoslavian: and the police spoke onlyGerman!
After only a few moments, thefrustrated police motioned both driversto move on. Fortunately, damage to thecars and to international relations was
slight.
THACKSTONS TO VIENNA
Dewey Thackston arrived in ViennaSeptember 7. He had hoped to bring hisentire family, but adequate funds werenot on hand to make this possible. Heand his wife, recognizing the urgencyof the work in Vienna, decided he wouldgo on to Vienna alone, trusting thatfunds would become available soon to
allow the family to follow.Unbeknownst to the Thackstons,
some students at Cincinnati Bible Seminary had already begun a drive to getfunds to unite the family in Vienna.Ozark Bible College students also determined to help. And an individualwho had become concerned startedcollecting funds. In less than one monththe C.B.S. and O.B.C. students, andthis individual came up with about$1,000 each. When God's people havea mind to work, victory is assured!
By the time you receive this issueof the REPORT. Barbara and the threechildren will be on their way to Vienna,or possibly will already have arrived.ISN'T GOD WONDERFUL!!! And don't
His people arise to every challenge!!!We thank God and take courage.

TORONTO CHRISTIAN MISSION, INC.REPORTS ON THE LORD'S WORK IN RUSSIA,OTHER COMMUNIST-DOMINATED LANDS,
VIENNA.AUSTRIAAND WESTERN EUROPE
No. 152 Second-class Mail November, 1971
Toronto Christian Mission's
EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR EVANGELISMGod has opened another door, and
Toronto Christian Mission's EURO
PEAN CENTRE FOR EVANGELISM is
operating! After years of survey work,study and prayers, plans were formulatedand now those plans are being implemented. At every decision point we havesought God's guidance. We have certainly seen His hand as developmentshave unfolded.
Today, the Don Poorman and DeweyThackston families are in Vienna. TheGospel beachhead has been established!The Christian soldiers are alreadydeeply involved in their battle withSatan's forces.
In the past few weeks, missionarieshave been preaching in several communist dominated countries telling thestory of Christ. New contacts have beenmade. They have received encouragement from brethren in these countries
who have praised God for the EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR EVANGELISMand for Christians like you in othercountries who are concerned for themas they live in atheism and communism.
This base in Vienna will serve asa Centre from which missionaries canpenetrate Russia and other communistdominated lands with the message ofsalvation through Christ.
Basically, our CENTRE FOREVANGELISM has a three-fold thrust:1) Visitation, as missionaries personally go into these countries for teaching and preaching. 2) Printing andDistributing of Bibles, hymnbooks,tracts, study guides and children'sbooks for Christian training and growth,and 3) Radio Evangelism whereby weare able to take the Gospel into Russiaevery day to challenge both believersand unbelievers.
These three emphases, each ofwhich supports and complements theothers, form an effective program forevangelism that is already showinggreat results.
The EUROPEAN CENTRE FOREVANGELISM is a functioning program.We are temporarily working out of thePoorman and Thackston homes. Whilewe are able to do some of the things wewould like to do under these circumstances, there is so much more that willbe done when we have proper facilities.May we share with you the marvelousblessing we are now experiencing andour planning for the future. From thisCENTRE the Gospel will be taken toover 460,000,000 souls in Europe, plusmillions more in Asiatic Russia.and toother areas as God opens doors.
%
MISSION TO RUSSIA ANDOTHER COMMUNIST COUNTRIES
Our basic goal is this: to takeChrist to those living in the midst ofatheism in communist dominated lands.
The Dulins and the Repetskis werein Russia this past summer. TheCarillets were in Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany with the Dulinsin June and July. The poormans andThackstons, living in Vienna, are reaching into the satellite countriesfrequently.
We are developing a team of co-laborers where at least one missionaryfamily will specialize in each of thesatellite countries, and several otherfamilies will specialize in multi-language Russia. All the missionaries

will share in the total project of penetrating the iron curtain, but will givespecial attention to their selectedfields.
MISSIONARY WORK IN VIENNA
AND WESTERN EUROPE
Since Vienna will be the base of
operation for the missionaries, eachwill witness for Christ in his own homearea. Your missionaries in Vienna have
numerous opportunities to serve. OneGerman congregation has welcomed bothBro. Dulin and Bro. Thackston to their
pulpit. As God opens doors, missionworkers will lead in new congregationsor assist in established works so longas they are free to preach the Gospel asit is revealed in the Word of God.
Our field must be the world, asmuch of the world as we can reach. As
opportunities are given in WesternEurope, we will do all we can to takeadvantage of these openings for theGospel of Christ.
HOSPITALITY HOUSE
Christians living in several of thecommunist dominated countries do visitin Western Europe, so long as the invitation from the West assures full payment of all necessary expenses. ThroughToronto Christian Mission's EURO
PEAN CENTRE FOR EVANGELISM,we can extend Christian hospitality tothese brethren.
This is now being done as those inVienna open their homes to guests fromEastern Europe, but this is inadequate.So much more will be done when we
have larger facilities. This avenue willopen many doors for effective evangelism in the future.
The Dan Chambers family is currently raising support and expects tobe in Vienna by May, 1972. They will
be an "average American family" hostand hostess, overseeing the Hospitality House and providing home atmosphere for those who come for fellowship. instruction, and encouragement.
INTENSIVE BIBLE TEACHING
We must immediately develop a program of Intensive Bible Teaching forChristian leaders who can come from
Eastern Europe to Vienna for a few
days or weeks.A Christian leader in one country
said to us recently, "We need someoneto teach us how to preach."
They believe the Gospel, they readthe Book, but they have no opportunityfor training in either sermon preparationor delivery. They also need instructionin Christian Doctrine, Prophecy and theSecond Coming.
These courses must be tailored to
meet the specific need of the personand the time available. Our missionaries are well qualified for this kind ofIntensive Bible Teaching.
CHRISTIAN SERVICE CAMP
Camping is even more popular inEurope than America. A camping program is a must for the development ofthe work we are doing.
Last summer some of our mission
aries helped in Christian Service Campsin communist countries. We are planning to greatly expand this work nextsummer and have invitations from four
different countries for workers to serve
in their camps. Our summer internswill provide valuable help in taking advantage of these openings.
But, in Vienna we have a greatopportunity, too. It is possible to bringyoung people from some of the EasternEuropean countries to Vienna for a fullmonth. We can use this time for Chris-
Christian family and friends in Czechoslovakia.
tian teaching, and can accomplish agreat deal for the Lord. '
Once again, facilities are the keyto this project. When we have the camplocation we expect this program to growrapidly. Not only will we be workingwith people from Eastern Europe, butthe same facilities can be used forcampers - adults as well as youngpeople-who come from Western Europe,too.
ALL-EUROPECHRISTIAN CONFERENCES
Every missionary associated withToronto Christian Mission has a sincere desire to cooperate and sharewith other missionaries in Europe. Wepray for a close fellowship with otherChristians that together we might allstrengthen the witness for Christ inall of Europe. We are assured thatT. C. M.'s EUROPEAN CENTRE FOREVANGELISM will become a placewhere missionaries and other Christianworkers can meet for retreats, conferences on evangelism, clinics and forfellowship. From such cooperativeefforts, God will open doors to all ofEurope that His Son may be known.
RESOURCE CENTRE
For effective use of time, personneland the Lord's money, careful studyand research must be given to the development of an effective program forevangelism in all of Europe. Our missionaries are accumulating books, documents and other information to assist
in determining future activities of theMission in Europe.
RESIDENCES FOR MISSIONARIES
It is not always easy to find homesfor workers in Europe. We need to obtain adequate facilities for severalfamilies to live in close proximity.Once this is accomplished, we will moreeasily involve workers in the teachingprogram to be developed in the Centre.Time and money saved in driving andtravel can be better used in the workof teaching, printing and radio.
Short-term missionaries, men andwomen who are retired or otherwise
self-supporting, and who can spend afew weeks or months helping in thework, also need housing. Such workerswill assistour missionaries inthe visitation and distribution work in the countries of Eastern Europe, and help inthe teaching and camp program at theCentre. We have several persons willing to help in this way, but at presentwe have no place for them to stay. Wemust supply them with adequate housing.
MISSIONARY INTERNS
College age young people are already signing up to work as interns
during the summer of 1972 out of theCentre. These young people will begoing to Christian Service Camps indifferent countries, sharing in the visitation and preaching, and will be deeply involved in the work we are doing.
The Vienna Centre will serve as
"home base" for these young people asthey serve Christ in this excitingprogram.
PRINTING MINISTRY
The EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR
EVANGELISM will provide materialsin the various languages necessarywith special emphasis on the Bible,hymnbooks, and books and tracts dealing with basic Christian teaching. Wehave found study outlines, a bookleton prayer, and another on Bible facts,to be of great value to the Christians indifferent communist countries.
While we have printing facilitiesin Toronto, we need additional equipment to meet the needs of the millions
we are trying to reach. Rather thanpurchase additional equipment in Toronto, it seems best to obtain the equipment in Europe and do the printingthere. This will make it possible tomake materials readily available without shipping problems, unnecessarycosts, and delays.
DISTRIBUTION AND WORK CENTRE
Bibles stored on a shelf are of no
value to a man's soul. It is only whena man has a Bible in his hand, opens itand reads it, believes it and begins tolive by it that the Word of God accomplishes its purpose.
We have thousands of tracts and
booklets, in many languages, that arebeing distributed daily from Vienna.As more and more materials are prepared and printed, additional working

and storage space will be needed. Weare already doing everything we can,but we have not been able to keep upwith the requests we have received.This ministry will he expanded.
The need is so great! We have seenRussian Bibles printed more than 50years ago still being used by brethrenin Russia. Incidentally, these Bibleswere printed with American missionarydollars, as Ivan S. Prokhanoff andothers raised Che money from AmericanChristians.
REFUGEE CENTRE
We do not encourage Christians toleave their homeland, even though theymay live in atheistic communism. Webelieve they are needed where they are!Even though many Christians encounterdifficulties as they serve Christ inthese countries, their faithfulness andtheir testimony are vital to the futureof the church in the communist world.
However, there are times when abeliever finds it necessary to leavehis homeland- Under these circumstances he will arrive in Western Europewithout money and without home orfood, and often with only the clothes heis wearing. As Christians we want tohelp these brethren in the Lord, andgive material and spiritual food to themin their need.
RADIO EVANGELISM
While we have no plans at present
to move our radio studio from Torontoto Vienna, we are already centeringour correspondence and follow-up ofthe programs in Vienna. Programmingand tape preparation is done in Toronto,and will continue to be done there indefinitely. However, as the work expands into other languages, we anticipate the need for a studio in Vienna.
A VISION . . .
NOW A REALITY
What was a vision a few months
ago is now a functioning reality. Thoughit is at present the homes of Don Poor-man and Dewey Thackston, TorontoChristian Mission does have a EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR EVANGELISM.
We have abasefrom which Christianworkers go to teach and preach, and towhich leaders can come for teachingand encouragement. We are making animpact on Europe and Asia. We are getting things done for the Lord.
But we must do more. If we are todo the kind of work that must be done,we will have to have facilities thatprovide the working room we need. Theopportunities are so great. The hour islate. Pray that God will show us Hiswill as we move ahead in faith.

Thank you for your strengthening me by your prayers."
ALASKA: "Thanks for the great slide programs. The ministry of T.C.M. has greatlyenlarged the mission vision of this localcongregation."

MissionToRussia

TORONTO CHRISTIAN MISSIONING.
REPORTS ON THE LORD'S WORK IN RUSSIA,
OTHER COMMUNIST-DOMINATED LANDS,VIENNA, AUSTRIA AND WESTERN EUROPE
NO. 153 SECOND-CLASS MAIL DECEMBER, 1971
FACILITIES for T. C. M.'s
EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR EVANGELISMAnother step forward has been
takenlT. C. M. has signed the contractto purchase property in Vienna. Austria,for our EUROPEAN CENTER FOR
EVANGELISM!
Toronto Christian Mission now has
the location and the facilities to en
large our MISSION TO RUSSIA andother communist countries. Working fromthis base in the heart ofEurope, we arepenetrating the iron curtain for Christwith great blessings.
Description of Vienna property
On six acres is an Austrian Inn and
necessary service buildings. The site,18 miles from the center of the city,is ideally located and has virtually allnecessary qualities to allow our missionaries to do an effective work forChrist in an efficient way.
The main building has 17 bedrooms,two dining rooms and a large kitchen.This HOSPITALITY HOUSE providesroom for guests we bring from behindthe iron curtain, supplies classroomsfor INTENSIVE BIBLE STUDY courses,
and enables us to care for REFUGEES
who need food and shelter.The building is completely fur
nished, even to napkins, tablecloths.
sheets and pillowcases. The only modifications to be made here are kitchen
and laundry appliances and plumbing.The Dewey Thackston family is
now living in this building while preparing their permanent quarters in another of the buildings.
Printing and Distribution Center
Every facility here will contributeto the total operation of the EUROPEAN CENTER FOR EVANGELISM.
One of the service buildings has anupstairs apartment. The downstairs provides space for our PRINTING SHOP.Charles and Margaret Sprenger will workhere, turning out thousands of copies ofChristian literature for distribution all
across Eastern Europe. Prom this building Testaments, hymnals, tracts andBible Study booklets will find their wayto those who reach out for them sodesperately.
Another service building has twoapartments for missionary families. Thedownstairs will be a Work Center forthe missionaries.
A garage at one end of this building,built for carriages, will house Volkswagen campers used in the Visitationand Distribution work.
EUROPE'S GREATEST NEED ---
. if someone were to ask me what the greatest need in the Churchin Europe is, I would say: To proclaim the Gospel with authority,simplicity and urgency, using every available means and method."
--Dr. Billy Graham, European Congress on Evangelism,August, 1971, Amsterdam. Holland
The Gate House will serve as anapartment for a young married couple.Two tool sheds provide storage formaintenance equipment. A greenhouseis no longer in use, but is so constructed to allow for conversion into a
missionary's home, or other facilities.A RECORDING STUDIO for RADIO
BROADCASTING into Eastern Europewill also be developed here.
T. C. M.'s Russian radio program."The Everlasting Gospel,' has receiveda tremendous reception in the SovietUnion. Christians in other Eastern
European countries have asked, "Whenwill you have a program in our language?" We must prepare broadcasts inthese languages as soon as possible.Working from here at the edge of thecommunist world, we will be able toutilize Christian leaders from different

God Leads to the PropertyWe had planned to have a HOSPI
TALITY HOUSE in the summer of 1972.This date was chosen taking into consideration the need for missionaries,the need for a suitable location, andthe need for additional funds.
However, God intervened. Twomissionary families, the Don Poormanand the Dewey Thackston families,were led of God to Vienna this year towork with Toronto Christian Mission'sEuropean ministry.
After an extensive tour into EasternEurope, and many conferences withbrethren behind the iron curtain, we feltwe must move more rapidly. We beganto look for property, to see what wasavailable.
We were driving to see a propertyoutside Vienna when we passed a cluster of buildings back in a wooded area.
Gene turned around and said. "Thatlooks like a good place. Wonder if theywould sell it."
Don Poorman, who was driving,stopped the car and turned around."That's the place we're looking for!
Discussion before making our decision
That's the address the real estate mangave me!"
Looking over the property broughtone conclusion to the missionaries --
"This is the place!"
How the Decision was Made
Here were the facilities for our
EUROPEAN CENTER FOR EVANGEL-
ISIVI! Seventeen bedrooms in the mainhouse; room for refugees; facilities to
give hospitality to Christians from behind the iron curtain; classroom spacefor the teaching program; an apartmentfor Dan and Cecile Chambers, whowould operate the HOSPITALITYHOUSE.
Two dining rooms --onewould become a chapel, the other a place wheremealtimes would become times of informal conference and instruction and
fellowship with brethren from EasternEurope.
We went outside to seethe grounds.We could visualize Charles Sprenger atthe printing press. Charles Branumcould record Christian programs inRomanian or Hungarian. From here, soclose to those countries dominated byatheism and communism, we could reach
across the iron curtain with the mes
sage of Christ.
Everything was here. Apartmentsfor missionary families. Work space forthe Distribution Center. Even a ready-made garage for the campers we use invisitation and distribution work.
We could almost see and hear the
children in Christian Service Cajnp having recreation or vespers on the grounds.
The location was right, too. Closeto Vienna, but far enough out to giveneeded privacy. The grounds and buildings would enable us to work together,and save travel time and money.
From Vienna a letter with detailsabout the property was sent to our Advisory Committee. In 10 days lettersfrom 12 of 14 Advisors and all the missionaries had been received back inVienna -- "Go ahead" was the unanimous word.
Prayer - Then a Step of Faith
Now we really began to talk. Forover four hours we reviewed the hand
of God as He led John Huk and GeneDulin to meet and go to Russia in 1963.We remembered how God had providedfunds for the Russian New Testaments,how He had raised up supporters for theRussian Radio Broadcasts, for the thousands and thousands of Czechoslovak-ian, Russian, Polish, Romanian andHungarian books, tracts, hymnals andBibles.
God had led in finding the WorkCenter in Toronto. God had challengedmissionaries to come to Vienna andwork. God continued to give protectionand to open doors in Eastern Europe,enabling us to do our work of spreadingthe Gospel behind the iron curtain.
Every event demonstrated the powerof God. Now He had led us to this property, so ideal for this ministry. It wasclear what we had to do. We had to goahead on faith and trust that God wouldprovide. Dan Chambers put it into wordswhen he said, "If we have faith, wehave no choice. It is up to God.*
Landscaping at the Vienna Center
"... It is up to God'
So, in faith we have gone throughanother door God has opened. We havesigned the contract for the property,borrowed $30,000 for the down payment,and are challenging God's people tobecome partners in this MISSION TORUSSIA.
The cost will be $330,000 over thenext three years, over and beyond current income. This will provide the property, the necessary renovation, VWcampers for visitation and distributionwork, printing equipment and the recording studio. God, working through Hispeople, people like you, will providethe needed funds, even as He providedthis outstanding site for T. C. M.'sCENTER FOR EVANGELISM.
The present income of TorontoChristian Mission allows us to preachin Russia every day by radio; to printand distribute thousands ofNew Testa
ments, hymnbooks, tracts and Biblestudy materials: and to do extensivevisitation, including preaching andteaching in numerous Eastern Europeancountries. This ministry can be continued ONLY as current offeringscontinue.
But the development of these facilities in Vienna, to allow even greater opportunity to help these people whoneed our help so desperately, is anobvious necessity. What is God layingon your heart to do toward this expandedchallenge to preach Christ behind theiron curtain? Surely your heart will betouched by the challenge of the hourand you will participate in this projectsacrificially. The people there arecounting on you; your missionaries arecounting on you; and God is countingon you.
Would you prepare an offering tohelp repay the $30,000 borrowed for thedown payment? And will you also indicate on the coupon on page four yourintention to help in this project over athree-year period? Then insert youroffering and the coupon in an envelope
