Slightly more than the

Dea r Ch ri st ia n F r iends :

God

has certainly

blessed us in every way While in th e United States we have had many opportunit ies to work

fo r th e Kingdom of Christ

fo r

which we thank Him. This year at Ozark Bible College has apparently been fruitful

in several ways . We have a number of recruits preparing to go

to

Brazd. We have seen

the equipment for

setting

up a

print shop

in Brazil purchased shipped

an d

arrived there

There

has been great fellowship

with

old friends

and with new ones We hope

the year spent

at Ozark Bible College has been helpful to

the

Cause

of

Christ

The print shop is being set up now in Belem. We hope that before long it will be in operation

to turn out

Bible

Correspondence Lessons tracts pamphlets

and booklets

besides

other

needs

of th e

churches This is no

compe

tition with the joint printing

operation

of all of ou r missionaries in central Brazil called APLIC to which we

contribute This association fo r

printing

Christian

literature

turns out Bible School material

tracts and books

In less than a month the Lord willing we will be back in Brazil. We are very anxious to be back there. We are

to

leave Joplin Missouri at 11:30 a.m. on

June

5 and leave Miami at 8 p.m.

the

same day to arrive in Belem

about

3 a.m.

on

June 6. Dale Mason and family and Norman

Maddux

and family have been taking care of ou r house

for us and we expect it to be ready

to

move into when we get there.

well as w e can

tell

by l et te rs w e

have received

from

missionaries

an d

Brazilian Christians the

churches are making

good progress.

The

Outeiro Road Church which we

left

under the direction of its elders has

continued

to grow

and has an attendance now

of

about 80. There are about fourteen churches and preaching points now. As late as

three years ago there

were only four churches

and

one

preaching

point

Nearly all of

them are maintained

by

Brazil ians

One blessing provided through yo u friends in Christ

has been

that our support

has

continued

and

th e salary i

received

from

Ozark Bible College has been turned back into the mission

fund

and used to purchase a

Jeep sta tion

^jvagen4n Bra7 il. This came

within

a few hundred dollars of the 3600 which the car

cost.

We hope it will be^[e^^

^nvered

bythe

time

we

arrive

being

shipped

from the

factory

in

southern

Brazil.

Joanne

spoke

fluent Portuguese

before

we came but

now knows

none at all. She is four yea rs old . Paul is

two

He

is

fluent

in English. We

expect

them to learn Portuguese in a few

months They

have

been

citizens

of

the U. S.

fo r

three

weeks

now

Two girls from Ozark

and

oneof the

young

^

ladiesplans to stay for a year. A girl from Platte ValleyBibleCollegewill travel dowrTwitirQS. The AJl^n Kist^er

a

two-year

this Summer. Gary

family will

be

joining

us in

October the Lord

willing

^^^^^elaih

during

their

language

study of a year. Many morear^st

Our

plan is

to work with

the churches training leaders and preaching in special services such as revivals.

In

this

work^e

hope

to make intensive use of Bible Correspondence courses and follow these up with personal visitation

and teaching. We

hope

and plan to eventually enlist many Brazilian Christians in this also.

We thank God for providing through you who support this work we are engaged in all

that

we have needed. We

have never lacked anything necessary for the work

of

the Gospel. Right now we aje praying for a couple

of

hundred

dollars more per

month

to use in radio and newspaper work for the faster spread

of

Bible teaching.

Write to

us

costs 15/6. Boat mail takes 3-6 months. Use air. Yours in
