"Report from Toronto"
Toronto
Christian
Mission, Inc.REPORTS ON MISSION WORK
IN CANADA, RUSSIA, POLAND
AND OTHER EUROPEAN FIELDS
January , 1970
Where Are We Going?Who can avoid letting his thouglits
project over the next ten years as a decade opens? Where are we going? Whatare the objectives of Toronto ChristianMission? What plans are being formulated?
Where are we going? WhereverGodopens the doors! As the decade of the
60's opened, we liad no idea that Godwould lead us into a European ministry;bu t as weeks turned t o m onth s an d
months turned to years, we saw God's
hand guiding ever so clearly. One door
opened; we stepped through. Anotherdoor opened; another step. Greater doorsopened and greater steps on faith wererequired. In the 70's we shall continue
our policy of entering every door Godopens for us.
We shall go never forgetting "allthings are possible" with God. We haveventured into areas where man has said,
"Nothing can be done! " And this wast rue as far as man's ability was concerned,bu t God can do all things. To enter a
country where you know no one, and yetthe one man you find who speaks Englishis a New Testament Christian, makes youvery aware of God's power to do the impossible!
We shall go, knowing He answersprayer. What one i llustrat ion shall I usefrom the hundreds of experiences wehave had with God answering prayer?Dewey Thackston, ou r co-laborer in
Toronto Christian Mission, became se r
iously ill last July. Extensive hospitaliza-tio n a nd e xamin atio n revealed diabetes
compl ica ted with an aging of Dewey'sinternal organs that made his "body equal
to that of a 70 year-old man," said the
docto r. When a 30 year-o ld man is told
he' s 70 , it means Ills life is cu t short 40
years and that he has a limited time tolive. Everywhere 1 went on a speakingtour in the fail, I requested prayer forDewey. In mid-December the doctor informed Dewey his organs are now nor
mal. The doctor frankly said it wasbeyond him how this should happen.
As we enter th e 70's, let's not fo r
get th at o ur Lord is Almighty God, whoopens doors, who is influenced by theeffectual fervent prayers of His people.With these thougli ts clearly in mind, weshare some plans being formulated that
will enable us at Toronto Christian Mis
sion to meet the challenges God placesbefore us .
Church Builders Club offerings helppay for this mob ile u ni t in Hamilton,
Ontar io .
We see no radical change taking
place in Toronto Christian Mission in theyears ahead, as far as the thrust of thework is concerned. We ant icipate con
tinued evangelistic work in Canada, bu tare aware by financial support , correspondence, and interest when on speakingtours th at our supporters want us to doall humanly possible to increase our workin Europe. This will be the general direct ion th e work takes.
In Canada th e workers in th e Mis
sion are all engaged in the programs of
th e local churches. Their e duc at io n a nd
experience qualify them to giveexcellentassistance to the Canadian brethren. Cau
t ion is e xe rt ed t o make certain American
Christ ians do not " t ake o ve r" t ha t w h ic h
the Canadian will do h imsel f, bu t we of
the Mission stand ready to assist in everyway possible for the good of the Kingdom.
A Director fo r th e Canadian work
o f th e Mission will be r ec ru it ed . He wiU
likely lead in a "shopping plaza ministry"
or some other new approach to witnessing for Christ. This missionary will alsoguide the expansion of the youth phaseof the work, taking full advantage of
avai lab le faci li ti es such as th e Christ ian
Service Camp.Lenora and 1 will be giving more
and more attention to European work.Contacts we have made in various com
munist d om in ate d c ou ntr ie s must be
nurtured and strengthened. From theseinitial contacts, the message ofNew Testament Christianity will be able to permeate all of t he communis t world. As
contacts multiply, more and more atten-

tion wij] be given. Plans call for TorontoChristian Mission to establish a "CliristianService Center" in western Europe in1971. From this "Center" we expect atleast three American Missionary familiesto be reaching into the communist worldby the close of 197). By the end of thedecade, we anticipate numerous familiesworking from this "Christian ServiceCenter". Our prayers are that manypolitical barriers now in exis tence willhave been removed by the close of the70's, thus enabling a great and effectualdoor to open to your missionaries inEurope.
Toronto Christian Mission has co n
tracted for a camper which was fabricatedfor the owner of anautomobileagency inGermany. He used the camper only onceand sold it to the Mission for half-price.Lenora and 1 will use this as our home
during two to four months of evangelisticvisitation in 1970. In 1971 the camperwill be used by individuals from supporting churches in America who will goto Europe, follow an itinerary arrangedby the Mission and visit churches and
Christians in various eastern Europeancountries. With th e arrival of new families
and the expansion of the work, we anti
cipate the expanded use of this "camperministry". Such face to face contact withChristians in these countries is of greatimportance.
The Radio Ministry must be expanded. Radio allows us to have weeklycontac t with people in these count ries,much like a minister ha s cont ac t w i th liis
people as he preaches from the pulpit onSunday. Finding stations that will allowus to preach the message of New Testa
ment Christianity is no t easy, bu t webelieve it will be possible to broadcast inevery major language of Europe beforethe end of the 70's. This is our goal.Today it looks impossible, but with Godall things are possible.
Red Square, Moscow
k
Czecho s lo v ak ian s e r v ic e
The Printing Ministry is rapidlyexpanding as the decade starts. By theend of 1970 weexpect to have tracts andbooklets available in Russian, Polish,Czechoslovakian, Hungarian, Rumanian,and Bulgarian. Titlesin all these languageswill be expanded throughout the 70's. Weexpec t t o prepare materials in numerous
other languages of Europe. The monthlyRussian languagemagazine must continueand reach an ever growing group of readers. Otiier periodicals will be consideredas interest and opportunity develop.
To accomplish this extensive workin Europe we must have a strong base of
operation in Canada. Capable personnelwith knowledge of various languages areneeded for editorial work, radio work,and printing. Some individual will berequired to coordinate all the work of the
Mission. An informationdirector respon-
sible for keeping Christians in Ame
fully informed of activities of missaries so that they may suppor t the wintelligently will also be needed. Dcated typists and other office work
willbe the "unsung heroes" wlio keepmaterials moving from Toronto out i
the field. Undergirding all of thworkers are devoted Christians, like ywho pray faithfully for all of us wlabor for Christ through Toronto Cht ian Mission.
To carry on tliis work requthousands of dollars now, and as
work expands more thousands willneeded. Salaries are necessary. Printcosts are higli. (I say the press "ea
money like it's good! ) Radio brocasting is expensive. Office space frwhich to work iscostly. Postage has g"out of sight." But I have faith in G
and in you, ou r fellow Christians. In13 years Toronto Christian Mission
existed, you have contributed so fafully that every month's books have bclosed in the black, a lthougli sometit he b al an ce h as b ee n less t ha n o ne dol
We pledge to God and to you that webe faithful stewards of all funds yforward to Toron to Christian Mission

the 60's, we thank you and we pray ywill continue your suppor t as we mforward in the 70's. If you have not binvolved in the work of th e Miss
please consider the challenge of this wand become actively engaged as you pacipate financially in taking Christ tocommunis t world in the 70's.

It was not onlya voteofconiideuee, but also a warmpersonal commendaUon fromeachmanpresent. We have all admired yourwork through theyears andafter reviewing theworkof theMission in detaU wefeit that youdeserved this word of appreciation from your co-labore rs in spreading t he gospe l of Christ.
It was also our thinkingthat a wordof appreciation begiven to Lenora as well. Weareaware that she also has workedunselfishly in the Mission. Wewanther to know that she andthe girls also have done a fine job.
Eachmanwas very favorably impressed with theefficient andbusiness like mannerthatyouand yourco-laborers had preparedfor theAdvisory Committee Meeting. Please expressto the other members of the Toronto Christian Mission our hearty thanks for the goodworkthateachone is doing. Becauseof yourworkbeforehand, each manfelt that his time wasweUspentin coming toToronto. We felt thatmuch had beenaccomplished. We hope thatthedecisions that were made will be a help to you and the Mission in doing an even more effectivework fo r Christ i n t he f u tu re .

iOften I say, "Wemust slow down a bit. Next month won't be so busy, " Lenora always responds,"Oh, yes? Just wait and see!" And sure enough "next month" i s bus ie r! If February proves to
be busier than January, I rather doubt tha t we 'l l survive.
We are in the midst of an aggressive recruiting program to add personnel to Toronto ChristianMission to implement decisions made by the missionaries and Advisory Committee in December. Thebasic decision is '/tio, continue the Canadian work and expand the European work. " To do this mean
we must have help since al l the missionaries are already working beyond capacity. To do this re
cruiting, we have made telephone calls, written letters, had prospective missionaries come to Toronto for discussions, and have traveled to the U.S. to talk to some prospective missionaries. Many
hours have beenspent
onthis,
and results canalready
be announced. Otherprospects
are seekingthe Lord's will as they consider using their life as a missionary. Please pray with them for guidan
Alan LaBue and his family have decided to move to Toronto from Hamilton, Ontario, to-give leadesliip to the Canadian phase of the work of T. C. M. His six years in Canada, plus his dedication andability, qualifies him exceptionally well for this big responsibility. His move to Toronto will giverenewed vigor to the Canadian work and allow me to give more attention to the European work,
Linda Romesburg is moving to Toronto from Pittsburg to work in our office as secretary. She graduated from Kentucky Christian College last spring and spent one summer as a mission intern in
Europe. Kei* interest in Europe will likely lead her into the European phase of the work in tiiefuture
In addition to regular activities, (1) year-end receipts have been prepared and mailed; (2) severalhours have been consumed by planning sessions for the June Missionary Group Tour; (3) plans for
the extended missionary tour by Lenora and me are being made; (This will keep us in Europe afterthe June tour until November.) (4) beginning work of giving up our apartment in Toronto is under
way; (5) additional office space required carpentery work and moving of eqiipment; (6) careful
thought is being given to the Lincoln Christian College student tour sponsored by the Mission when
they will be witnessing to U. S. and European col lege students in Europe this summer.
Last September on^he missionary tour, Lienora and I met a young Australian couple in Rumania.
Their determination to "see the wor ld" had led them to London where they worked a few months, q
their jobs, and traveled into Europe. They planned to come to Toronto soon. On arrival this month
they contacted us. While seaorohing for an apartment and employment we kept them in our home an
were able to in t roduce them to Chr is ti an s a t the Keele Street church. We find i t exci t ing as we consider Lenora and me—two American citizens living in Canada—witnessing for Christ in Rumania
to two Australians living in England and bf^ir^ able to lead them to churchbackhome! HowGodwor
All of these plans and blessings are possible because Christians like you stand behind us so faith
ful ly with prayer support and financial assistance. Just this week I talked with a Toronto business
man who is well acquainted with our work. When I told him our income, he couldn't believe we
could accomplish so much on such a small amount of money. It is possible only because themissio
aries receive barely a living wage, and because God multiplies the effectiveness of the dollars in
response to our prayers and the prayers of thousands like you. We say over and over, "Thank
God fo r His guidance and for faithful f riends l ike you. "

that little was b ei ng do ne in Europe by
Toronto Christian Mission this year. I
did some f igur ing r ecen tl y t ha t proved
illuminating to me . I t hink you , too, will
find this no t only interesting bu t also
e x c i t i n g .
From the e nd of April unt il e a rl y in
November Toronto Chri s t i an Mission
Missionaries and groups led by th e mis
s ionar ies will spend a to tal of 1557
mandays or 4 1/4 years in Europe witnessing for Christ . The tota l cost of
this 4 1/4 year ministry is less than itwould cost to have a missionary family
li ve a nd work in Europe for f ou r years.
T he to ta l co s t from Toronto Chri s t i an
Mis si on funds will be approximately
$6000. How does this a ll work?
First , th e total days include th e three-
w eek June Mi ss io n ar y Tour assuming
32 people participate. Also included
a re the months L en ora a nd I wi l l be
w orking in Europe , and the extended
time th e Lincoln Chris t ian College
g ro up w il l have in western Eur op e w it
ness ing to youth.The February REPORT
gives details of these missionary tours.
In add it io n, p la n s ha ve be en made
for John Huk to go to Poland late in
April to spend th e month of May in Po
land preaching fo r various services and
to participate in the dedicat ion of a new
church bu il d ing in Warsaw. He w ill pre
cede t he t ou r g ro up t o Russia and spend
a week making contacts and witnessing.
He wil l j oi n th e June missionary to ur i n
Moscow an d return to Canada with them.

ABOUT SPEAKING DATES
A missionary from Toronto Christian
Mission is speaking in your area. Haveyou ever wondered how the speaking
date was arranged? Have you consid
ered how the missionary decides to be
in one area and not in another? Perhaps you would appreciate knowing thepolicy we follow at Toronto Christian
Mission regarding speaking dates.
Our purpose for traveling to churchesacross America i s first of all to exal t
the Lord Jesus Christ. By telling of
victories won in His name, we hope toinspire Christians and strengthen the
faith of t he Chu rch. Our second desi re
is to st ir interest in world-wide evan
gelism. God has opened many doors
and poured a mul ti tude of blessings on
us who work w ith Tor on to Christian
Mis si on . A s we tell of t he se v i ct or ie s
in the name of Christ, we hope to liftth e vision of lo ca l c hu rc he s across
America that they may see th e thousands
of open doors placed before them. A
third purpose for speaking is to informpeople of th e work of Toronto Christian
Mission. We wan t peopl e who support
us to know what is being accomplished.By visiting churches and missions
commi t t ees this information is made
readily available to those who share
in the work being done. Obviously a
program as e x te n si ve a s tha t of Toronto
Chr is t ian Mission needs a broad base
of support. We hope by informing others
of th e work they will become interested
and actively involved in suppor ting theefforts of th e Mission.
As a speaking i tinerary is arranged,t he m is si on ar y from Toronto Christian
Mission a lway s g iv es con si de ra ti on to
invi tat ions of churches tha t have wr it ten
requesting a presentation o f th e work of
the Mission. We never turn down a speak
in g date because of t he si ze o fa church,even though it may be very small. Wenever charge for a presentation, bu t
we ar e aware t ha t t ravel expenses must
be covered if th e missionary is to stay
on th e road. We keep a file of all letters
i n v i t i n g one of ou r miss ionar ies to
speak. As an i ti n er ar y i s planned, re fe r
ence is made to this f il e, a nd c hu rc he s
with reques ts are given first cons idera
t ion fo r speak ing .
The speaking itinerary fo r Gene an d
L en ora D ulin is practically full fo r
this spr ing. They will be in Europe
from June through mid-November. A
Fa i t h P romise is scheduled in Cincin
nati , Ohio, fo r th e weekend of N ov em
be r 22. The Dul i n s wi l l then be a t th e
mis si on ar y c on ve nt io n i n I ll inois an d
will be available for speaking dates
from January through May of 1971. If yo u
would like to use the ir services duringthat time, i t would be of special assistance if you could write soon so their
i ti nera ry can be arranged.
Speaking dates can be arranged for
any missionary by writing TorontoChris-tian Mission. 5 LavingtonDrive, Toronto
(Weston), Ontario, Canada. Invitat ions

GOD COMPENSATES
I ha d been in T oronto for approxi
mately one mon th when a letter arrived
from ou r radio outlet in Seoul, Korea.
The conten t s of tha t Octobe r let ter had
a hope-smashing effect upon members
of th e radio department, as well as
other personnel at Toronto Christ ian
Miss ion .
Ou r Russian-language program,THE
EVERLASTING GOSPEL, was being
cance l led! T h e r e a s on : doc t r ina l d if
ferences. Imagine ou r keen disappoint
ment! This stat ion is a powerful short
wave facili ty t ha t was beaming ou r pr o
gram into Asiat ic Russia . It was a
vi ta l " l i f e - l i n e " to t ho se we wan ted to

more, we were announcing , by means
of publicat ions a nd p ub li c s ta tements ,
that th e programs wer e b ei ng broadcast
i n to th e Sovie t Union th re e t im e s e a ch
week; once from Manila , a nd twi ce from
Korea. It seemed to be a clear victory
fo r the opponents of New Testament
Christianity.
John Hu k and I, however , refused to
yield to the pessimism of doubt. We
de termined to hold on in fa ith , convinced
that this seeming defeat held withi
the " seed of an equ iva len t or g re
benef i t and bl e s s i ng . " Our praye r
and th e prayers of our co-worker
were prompted by t he Scr ip tu ra l tr

seems that th e stat ion managemen

Our prayers had been answered! Ain a way t h at exceeded our fondest

prayers tha t God will p rovide the f unds

We would also hope that you would

THE WORK OF GENE DULIN, DIRECTOR OF T.C.M.
The rapidly expanding ministry of
Toronto Chri s t i an Mis si on b ro ad en s
th e fie ld o f serv ice fo r a l l assoc i a t ed
with the Miss ion . P l a n s fo r t h e Ch r i s t ian
Service Center and Hospital i ty House
in Europe (probably Vienna, Aust ri a)
are requiring much of the director's
attention, as are all of the new act ivit ies in Europe. This does not m ean,
however, tha t Gene a nd L en ora Dulin
are moving t o Eur op e.
Gene s e rv es a s the d i r e c to r o f th e
Mission and g ives coun se l and ass is t
anc e to th e miss iona r i e s in t he v a ri ou s
ministries of t he Mis si on . One phase of
the work may require more a tt en tion of
B ro. Duli n in its beginn ing than later
when it is funct ion ing smooth ly. For
example th e ministry with youth con
sumed practically all of Bro. Dulin 's
time during the construct ion of th e
Christian Service Camp and firs t year
of camp. Now he devotes practically
no t ime to th is a rea of endeavor . When
th e pr in t ing minist ry was started, Bro.
Dulin operat ed th e press and did much
of th e other work in vo lv ed , b ut to da y
he has little to do with the mechanics
of print ing. During these days as th e
Europeanwork is developing, he is giv
ing much attention to this ministry,
but once this ministry has devel oped
he p robabl y will be devoting attention
to some othe r pro jec t of Toronto Chris
t i an Miss ion .
The time involved and t he n ee de d
field work makes i t w i se fo r the D ulins
to be in Europe several months this
year, and probably again in 1971. They
will be going with th e June missionary
tour group and remain in Europe until
November, during which time plans call
fo r them to travel into Czechoslovak ia ,
Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Yugo
slavia. where many opportunities to
witness fo r C hris t are ex pe cte d. T he y
will also do preparatory work toward
th e es tab l ishment of th e Chris tian
Ser vic e C en te r. During this time in
Europe they will be using th e camper
as their home. Rather than pay high
apartment ren t or storage charges i n
Toron to , they are selling all their furni
ture. On returning to Canada a nd th e
s ta tes in November, they w ill b e visit
ing churches and again would not findit economically wise to have a n a pa rt
ment. This type of schedule will last
at least two years, after which time
the Dulins will probably rent an apart
ment to ca l l "home " .
This approach to meet ing the imme
d ia te n eeds in Europe is made possi
b le b ec au se th e Dulin's two daughters
will both be in college in America. Un
t il this t ime, famil y responsibilities
would have made it impossible.
As the European phase of the work
is developed, Dewey Thackston will
se rve a s th e D irecto r of European
Ministries. We an ti ci pa te s e ve r al mis
sionaries working together to c ar ry th e
message of Chr is t into Eastern an d
Western Europe as God opens doors.
Bro. Th ac k st on w il l s pe nd three months
in E urope this summer orienting himse l f while he part icipates in our "Youth
to Youth" ministry in Europe. Once
this ministry in Europe develops into
th e effec t ive ins t rument fo r Chr i s t we
visual ize, th e Dulins will be able to
give more attention to o th er phases of
th e work .
While some m igh t feel from recent
RevoTts that we ar e no longer concernedabout evange li zi ng in Canada, this is
fa r from true. The Mission is able,
through t he numerou s people involved
in th e printing mini st ry , r ad io min is try,
and other depa rtments , t o do more fo r
th e cau se of Chr i s t in Canad a than e
b ef or e. L on g r an ge plans ar e being d
cussed and formulated . AlanLaRue,
Director of C ana dian M inistr ie s, h
accepted his responsibili ty f ul ly aw
o f needs o f O n ta ri o and the i n t e r e s t
Toronto Chris tian Mission. H is e xp e
ence a t Hamilton qualifies him fo r texpansion of his ministry as he u

And s o Toron t o Chr i s t i a n Miss

5. Printing ministry) even though mu
attention must be devoted to Europe
these days as t he European min is try
developed.
JOHN HUK IN POLAND
When you receive this Report John
Huk will already be in Poland at work
fo r Jesus Chris t . He lef t Toronto April
23 a nd a rr iv ed in Bucharest, Romania,
Friday. April 24, whe re he was able to
m eet w ith Christ ians before traveling
to Warsaw, Poland, on April 29 . He willbe in Po la nd un ti l May 27 when he will
go to Russia where he will meet hi s
84 year old father, step-mother, brothers
an d sis ters . He will also b e m eetin g
with Ch r is ti an s i n Russ i a and witness
ing for Christ as opportunity comes.Bro. Huk was born in Russia and
came to Canada as wha t c ou ld b e termed
a n i nd en tu re d servant over forty years
a go . Afte r working out his passage he
went to Chicago to study for the min
istry. He married i n Chicago and has
served Russian c hu rc he s in Chicago,
New York, and Toronto. He became an
American ci t izen while in th e U nited
Sta tes and has maintained his American
citizenship even though th e Lord has
seen fi t to use him i n C an ad a fo r sev
eral years .
Bro. Huk has an unwavering deter
mination to do what ca n be done for
th e cause of Chr is t i n Russia and other
Slavic countr ies . Others of Toron to
Chris t ian Mission have th e same vision
and de te rmina ti on. This is a difficult
ministry since atheistic communism
dominates th e v er y c ou nt ri es we ar e
striving to reach for Christ , bu t thanks
be to God, a very small door of oppor
tunity is open and we ar e doing wha t
we can to witness fo r Ch ri st . S a ta n an d
his servants h av e d on e a ll t he y c an

power has proved supreme. Our pray
are that Go d wil l continue to sty

nist world and in ou r own wor ld,
m
John Huk and f at he r in Rus
close the door comp letely , and t
c on demn t o e te r na l h e ll souls o f c o

As Brother Hu k goes into Euro
we solicit your prayers on his be
that God may protect him and use
fo r His glory. May we suggest for y
scripture reading an d devo t i o n

scenes made u s litera lly sick as wesaw th e decadence of th e human race,
for example, in the " Re d L ig ht " dis

We felt th e privilege and responsi
bility ofbecoming deeply involved with
men an d women of education and culture
in the formal sense. Among many, I recal l v iv id ly t he case of a gentleman we
met on a train who had become ve ry

Two young fellows were standingnearby who had suffered the same de
feats in the room-renting wars as we.They asked if they could possibly find
accommodationswith
us. To make along sto ry sh ort, they came w ith us .
They a te with u s. They spent the earlymorning visiting with us and then th elate evening w ith us in ou r devotionaltime. As you ca n imagine, the dis
cuss ion time was extended consid
erably. The next morning as t hey wereleaving, they confessed their reluctance to do so. They said they hadnever seen a group which was so ob
viously happy. They want to keep in
touch. I don't believe we met from pure
chance .

can fathom th e far-reaching possibilit ies for the work of Christ engenderedby th e indelible impressions of a sum

Che ry l. N an cy . Polly. Jim and Sam?
Who would dare limit th e power of theWord of God to spring up and bear fruitfo r Chr i s t in th e so i l s of human hear t s
in which i t was imp la nt ed ? Who will
be so b la sp hemous a s to c l a im th e
power o f God Himself in predicting th eeffect upon the world-wide program ofevangel i sm fo r th e Lord 's Church in
years to come of th e concepts perceivedthrough the intimate relationships of"Youth to Youth in Europe" this summer? Certa inly noi //// It is quite likelyth e re w il l be a few i nd iv idua l s - some
quite sincere and others quite self-
seeking-who will deny the wisdom of
such a v e n t u r e fo r Chris t . I cannot
speak from th e van tage point of 3,500
miles distance, but o nly from the view
of one who participated, observed and

point, it w as a most worthwhi le experiment . I am conf ident it was worth a l l

S IXTEEN DAYS
IN AUGUST
John and Florence Hedrick on left with Christians in Hungary.
The dramatic spiritual impact of amissionary tour in certain countries
of the world is written indelibly uponou r hearts! The providential hand ofGod ha s been evidenced during these
thrilling sixteen days of August. Wehave discovered anew the meaning ofon e of our most oft-repeated phrases:
"God opens doors!" We rejoice to report that there is indeed Chris t ian faith
i n unexpec ted p la ce s! We saw it in the
po ignant p l ead ing of a Chris tian woman
who sa id, "P l e a s e . . .come an d have a
service at my home tonight." We sawcourageous fai th in the eyes of a girl
from a satellite country who told ushow difficult i t was to ma in ta in f ai th
in Christ in an atmosphere of atheistichostil i ty. We w it ne ss ed fa it h in th e

couple with whom we worshipped intheir home. We observed a genuine
steadfastness in th e c on tin ua l la bo rs

We gathered around th e Table of th e
Lord in a little assembly of Christiansin Vienna. There we drank from th e
common cup representing th e sacrificial

we "broke bread together!" Our hearts

faced the challenging task of protect

pressures of an unfriendly government.
Wewho live in free America or an y freecountry can never fathom th e indescrib
a bl e p re ss ur es faced by these valiant
Christians every day. It is all to o easy
fo r us to say how we would conduct

In Vienna we r enewed happy fellow

youth who wer e w ith him. We travelled
with th e Dul ins , and we thri l l to their
dedication to God an d t he spreading of
His Word. The ir Ch ri st ia n surrender is
most appreciated by those who know
them best . It was refreshing to see
Dewey aga in ! How qualif ied he is fo r
th e immense t ask he had this summer
of "shepherding" a group o f fin e Bible
college students. Dewey has sufficient
familiarity with a multilingual situation
so he co uld safely guide th e studentsthrough th e maze of t rave l regula t ions ,etc. And if Nancy Clark, Cheryl Haun,
and Jim Poll ar e typical o f t he students
Dewey t ravel led with, then we regret
not mee ti ng th e rest of th e group! We

VIENNA, AUSTRIA, SITE
FO R CHRISTIAN C E N T E R
Vienna, Austria, has been se lec ted
as the site for locat ing t he European
home of Toronto Chri s t i an Miss ion . A
C h ris tia n S er vi ce Cente r which wi l l
serve as a base of operations fo r th e
European a ct iv it y o f th e miss ionar ies
of Toronto Chri s t i an Miss ion i s s la te d
to b ec ome operational by June , 1971.
Dewey Thackstonhas agreed to lead
in th is p ha se of the multi-ministry of
Toronto Chris tian Ministry. He , his
wife an d their three children are plan
ning to move to Austria by the sum
mer o f 1 97 1.
We who h a v e been a s s o c i a t e d in the
European outreach of the M is sio n h av e
long recognized th e acu te need fo r an
operational center in closer proximity
to th e area we ar e trying to reach . T heintensive visitation programs which
have been carried ou t th e past few years
have but t ressed this conclus ion with
mount ing test imony an d other evidence .
There is need fo r regular, consi s tent
visitation of th e brethren throughout
Eas te rn Europe . There i s a defini te
need to provide help and assis tance to
t ho se who a re ab le to v i s i t in Wes te rn
Europe from time to tim e. It is impos
sible to continue to function efficiently
with only a Canadian base.
Brother Th ac ks to n, t he Dulins and
the Hedr icks ar ranged to meet in Vienna
for a week this past Augu st to su rv eyth e ci ty with a v iew t owar d th e estab
l i shment of t he a b ov e -m e n ti on e d cen ter
th er e. V ie nn a h ad b ee n f ir s t c o n si d er ed
because of i ts loca t ion . Information had
b ee n r ec ei ve d that many hundreds of
Eastern Europeans vis i t th e c ity an
nually. T he graciousness with which
th e Vienne se we l comed t h e s e v i s i t o r s
and th e pains to which they went to
s e e th at th eir ind iv idua l needs were
met, had be en noted. After carefully
visit ing each sect ion of th e c i t y to
which they were directed an d partic
u la rl y s u rv eyi ng th e Mexikoplatz dis
tr ict , the miss ionar ies were conv inced
t h at t he ir o ri gi na l c onc l us i on s had been
co rrec t and that V ienna is in de ed the
ci ty in which to locate .
In addit ion to the work w hich can
be carried out in the Eastern European
countries from Vienna, it is the firm
intention of the miss ionar ies planning
to l o c a t e there to begin a work fo r
Chris t in the c i ty i t se lf . This will l ikely
be a work aimed at serving the large
E ng lish -s pe ak in g po pulatio n o f th e
city a t f irs t . As tim e a nd communica
tion possibi l i t ies permit, a German-
speaking work will be es tabl i shed.
This is indeed a step of faith. It
will cost a considerable sum to ge tes tabl i shed in th e c it y. T he re is th e
need fo r suitable office space; for housing: fo r travel funds to allow for visita
t ion; fo r opera t ing expense funds; fo r
funds to move the miss ionar ies there
and many other i nc id en ta l expen se s
always arising in such a move. Moneyfor t he r en ta l and/or purchase of f aci li
t ie s sui table for a "Hospitali ty Center"is imperative. This will provide th e
brethren from Eastern Europe (who havevery l imi ted resources) a place to staywhile they ar e v i s it ing Aus tr i a.
All of these ar e very v it al n ee ds .The y d es er ve you r p raye rful at tent ion.
If you can help mee t t he se needs, yo u
will be blessed greatly by God. Fo r weare confident of Hi s leading. He has
opened this door of opportunity. We want
earnestly to go through. By our workingto geth er , th e c ha ll en ge c an and will
be me t .

The governments of Eastern Euro

people to leave those countries and

Western European countries to provide
housing and food as well as s ome o ther
necessi t ies in order to m ak e th e visi ts

us opportunity to extend Christian hos

Radio Trans Europa on the Air!
Radio Trans Europa, located in
L is bo n, P or tu ga l, is th e newest andl a t e s t ove r s eas shor t -wave s ta t ion to
broadcast Toronto Christian Miss ion 's
Russian- language program. "The Ever
las t ing Gospe l . "
In alet ter writ ten October 16 , 1970,
we were informed tha t a n e le ctr ic al
power shortage had caused a delay in
gett ing th e transmitter on the air thatwill carry religious programming. Two
t ransmi t t ers used fo r commerc ia l broad
c a s t s have been on th e a ir s i n ce l a s t
summer . T he c or re sp on de nc e r ec ei ve d
told us that the s tat ion manager indi
cated i t would be another six to eightweeks (from th e above date) before an
ample power supply would be available
fo r th e third transmitter. That time pe
riod has now elapsed, and we ar e ass um i ng t ha t broadcasting of t he Gos pe l
is underway in Lisbon.
With a total power output of 250,000
watts , this new European s tat ion is
fully capable of beaming the messageo f Chri s t into th e Sate l l i t e Coun t r i e s
and eastern Russia . The manner by
which t h es e f a c i li t ie s became avai l ab le
to Toronto Chri s t i an Mission i s s t i l l
another example of how GOD OPENS
D O O RS!
Early in 1970 Charles Br a num ,
D ir ec to r o f Radio Operations, noticed
on the back of a r ec or d a lb um , th e name
of a rel igious broadcasting group lo
cated in Stockholm, Sweden . Directing
a letter to them , he asked about r ad iot ime avai l ab i l i t i es in Scand an av i a. T h e
reply from this organization, called In
ternational Rel ig ious Broadcas t ing As
sociation, to ld of t he con st ru c ti o n o f a
new radio s tat ion i n P or tu ga l. F ur th er
more, th e l et te r s ta ted they were to be
responsible fo r all gospel programming
on t h is s ta t ion : Radio Trans Europa.From this b e g i n n i n g , and after
months o f co rr e spondence , a contract
was signed for a thirty-minute broad
cast , on a one-t ime-per-week basis .
When IRBA informed us that they want
ed th ir ty-minute segments for the Rus
sian a ud ie nc e, t hi s involved devising
a di f fe ren t format than th e one used on
th e programs aired from Manila, P. I.
Additionally, there was the co s t
factor—more than we were capable of
assuming. How this matter wa s resolved
is . in i tself , another c le a r- cut i n st ance
of th e Lord 's opening a door of spir i tual
o pp or tu nity . F or o bv io us ethical re asons , we will no t d iv ul ge t he sat is fac-
tojy agreement reached enabling us to
sign a year 's contract—but, it was at as izeab le r ed uc ti on in c os t!
This broadcast from Portugal, to
gether wit h t he t hr ee f if te en -m inut e pro
grams from Manila, means T o r o n t o
Christian Mission i s beaming ONE HOUR
AND F I F T E E N M I N U T E S O F T H E
G O SP EL in to the Sov i e t Union and i t s
Sa t e l l i t e s e a ch week!
Man-made walls and " cu r t a i n s "
are no t soundproof! Jamming devicesar e being used—and quite effectivelyin most cases -but not in all. Pravda,th e off ic ia l newspape r o f th e Sovie t
Union, complains that foreign s tat ions
"pour oceans of radio wav es ov er t heSoviet people with sermons and religious
services ." Apparently th e Russian pop
ulace i s l i s ten ing to rel igious broad
casts to such an extent it is virtually
impossible to control them all.
To underwrite a broadcasting pro
ject o f t hi s scope (one h our and fifteenm in ut es p er week) , however , requires a
sizeable outlay of funds. S t a t i n g i t
very simply and clearly, a minimum of
$180 per week is needed at this time
fo r th e c o s t of a ir t ime a lo n e. P ro du c
tion and mailing cos ts ar e additional.
I nd iv id u al s, B i bl e school classes ,
youth groups, miss ion committees , and
churches are a s k e d to cons ider th e
challenge found on the i ns id e pages of
th is i ssue, and to make a f inancial com
mitment, now! And, by all means , pray--
that ou r programs may b e used to th e
glory of God!
The plea most commonly voiced,
whether by letter or word brought out
by visitors behind t he i ro n curtain is:"Please do not discontinue your G os
p el b ro adc as ts ! They mean more to us
than yo u w il l e ve r k now! "
Truly, radio is t he o nl y means thou
sand s have of hear ing th e ever las t ing
gospel. We cannot—we dare no t fa il them!
