We
have wonderful
news to announce,
a couple of
friends from
K.C.C.,
Bruce
and
Janet Duffy have decided
to
take an
internship
this
summer in Belgium to
work
with Dennis Messimer and visit other European missions. Dennis was the mission
ary that Steve interned
w i t h in
1980. Bruce and Janet
plan
to
jo i n
us in France
after Janet's graduation fromK.C.C. in
1 9 8 5 .
Bruce will
graduate
t h i s year.
We
ask
for
your earnest prayers
as they
rai s e
support for their
internship
and
also their
preparation for
a return to
France in
'85. T h i s
will
b e a
great
h e l p
to us. This is an answer to
much
prayer and we praise God for their
decision.
If
you would like
to
give an extra
gift
toward their internship their address is
Bruce Duffy, Box 111, Kentucky Christian College, Grayson, KY. 41143-1199.
More
exciting
news
is that
our
forwarding agents, Keith and Bethany
(as of
Dec.
17th,
Mr.
and Mrs. Keith Groves)
will
be
working
full
time with
the Minerva Park
Church
of
Christ
in Columbus, Ohio. Keith graduates this year from K.C.C. and
begins full
time
w o r k
this summer. Regular supporters
will
already
be familiar
with the Groves as they have b e en doing
t h e
support
reciepts.
We were really pleased with the O.C.S. program,
it
proved to
be
beneficial
train
ing
for u s . Our french s t udy at Hansa
Language Insti tute
w a s also very b e n e f i c
ial. We
got
to t h e point
w h e r e
we
could
watch
Grizzly
Adams on
French.
T.V.
with
a
general
understanding.
In
January
w e
will
be returning
to
Toronto for
a
month of concentrated language study, possibly
four
hours
a
day and that amount
of
time at home.
Communication
is very in 5)ortant to evangelism, si vous ne
pensez pas
si,
alors essayez lire cette phrase.
(If
you don't t h i n k , so, then
try reading this sentence.)
Even
after we are
in
France we
will
need more lan
guage study.
We
are
learning mostly
to speak and read now, but
to
be able to
prepare and translate teaching materials w ill take
a
full
fledged
language course.
A
NOTE TO
SUPP ORTING CHURC HES: We wi ll be
contacting y o u
in January to
schedule
a
date
for our vi s it b e fore w e leave for France in J\ me. If y o u w o u ld like a
particular date call (606) 796-2766 during t h e
first week
in January. After
that
ti me
w e
will
begin
filling u p the calendar. We want to sim ply share in person
w i t h our
supporters and not
necessarily
take a
whole service b u t
j u s t a f e w m i n

Again we invite your

One o f th e
main issues we have
been
told by churches i s
that
the missionaries
do
not keep
i n
close
enough
contact and
do not report e nough
concerning their wo rk. We
hope
that
we have done a good job in this area, i f not,as Fellow Workers please help
us
out by sending your comments and/or advice. The next letter will be
in
March.
