Al ’55 and Virginia (Selegean ’53) Mil ler: “We left Pasadena July 9, stopping in Detroit, and then in Brooklyn, where we spent some time at the Africa Inland Mission headquarters. The Lord supplied our bookings and visas after we left Cali fornia. W e reached our new home, Brus sels, August 16. We are now studying French.” Eunice Peevey ’47, Africa: “ The Lord is working in the class we have for the teenage girls who work here on our com pound. . . . Pray for them and for the others whom we contact in household visits. One woman was anxious to hear about the only way to heaven; another took me to see her six idols; and a man said he was too old to turn from his idols. . . . I have been asked to go to Oro Girls’ School next year to assume the responsi bility of the school while the missionary is on furlough. There are 147 in school now. Pray for me in this responsibility.” Joe ’40 and Gene (Gilbert ’41) Cope land, Nigeria: “ In just a month and a day we traveled fom Johannesburg, South Africa, to Jos, Nigeria, 6,480 miles. . . . After we had traveled through various country, over roads which even the best imagination could not conceive of, corru gations placed in such a way as to ensure a complete shock treatment, we arrived at Fort Archambault only to be told that the dirt road was closed. . . . The cost by ‘fly ing box-car’ was $500.00, so we decided to attempt the road. . . . On the way, our car stopped, but the Lord sent a mechanic. . . . Then we came to a stop before a padlocked barrier. In French Equatorial Africa, dur ing the rainy season, the barriers are closed, but an African official needed transportation to a ferry and asked if he might ride with us. . . . Finally, we arrived’ at the Guest House of the Sudan Interior Mission, where we are awaiting the finish ing of houses. . . . M y difficulty has been diagnosed as amebic dysentary, which Sharrell may have also; Joe is recuperat ing from an accident with one of the PTL vans when two heavy projectors and a case of canned goods hit his head and shoulders, sending his head through the windshield. Pray for the campaigns soon to begin in Nigeria.” Ruby Miller ’48, Bolivia: “ These months in San Joaquin have been glorious. . . . Eleven children and four adults have made decisions. . . . Our attendance in the little adobe chapel averages between 40-60. We averaged 30 in each of two towns where our Vacation Bible Schools were held. We are planning visits in four or five little river towns before returning to our home.” Lorraine Fleischman ’47, Japan: “ The Ishinomaki believers for the first time were responsible for a series of evangelis tic meetings . . . and an unheard of crowd of 80 or so came the first night, 65 the next. Some hearts were touched and turned to Christ. . . . Now we have a meeting every Friday night in that area. . . . Ahead lies the labor of visitation, patient teach ing, persistent intercession.” Pete ’48 and Sadie (Kooistra ’48) Ack
ley, Ethiopia: “ Our son was born Sep tember 23 . . . but the doctor questioned whether he would be normal physically and/or mentally . . . and the Lord took him to Himself the next day. ‘He doeth all things well.’ The other two are in school now. . . . Permission has been granted us to operate our transmitting and receiving sets between our stations. This means much because the only way we could con tact the British Missionary Aviation Fel lowship from about June to December 1 was by sending a runner to Kurmuk.” Joe ’39 and Wilma (Lambert ’43) Nash, Sudan: “We are very happy to be back at Maiak. When we left three years ago, we left four or five believers; we now find some 20, which rejoices our hearts. There are a dozen or more attending reading classes. . . . There has been much spoil ing of our goods. . . . If all our earthly goods were spoiled, that would be a small sacrifice for the joy of seeing God’s work ing among these Barun people. Two Sun days ago there were three new professions and another last Sunday. . . . Pray for these and others and for God’s help in lan guage study and translation.” Melvin ’50 and Billie Jean (Zillmer ’50) Carson, Mexico: “ There has been much sickness in the village. We set a record of 112 injections in February (a record for u s); usually there are about 40 a month. In May we began to translate Mark. We are in chapter five, but the work has slowed down since our informant has been away so much. . . . W e were encouraged the other day when a young fellow came to ask us to help him the lessons in a Bible correspondence course in John. Pray for him and for us.” Rachel Sarason ’57, Taiwan: “ Two weeks ago I was having a pleasant, restful visit at the nurses home of the Mennonite Hospital in Hualien when Winnie the typhoon came. . . . There was much dam age, and we spent the next few days help ing reorganize the hospital laundry room, etcetera. The native Christians worked hard . . . and a delegation from the moun tain tribes brought huge bunches of bana nas, ‘relief goods,’ for their beloved hos pital. Pray for these people.” Betty Kroeker ’50, Hamburg: “ In the last summer camp a goodly number of children accepted the Lord, now they need our prayers. . . . There are now 15 classes . . . other homes are open but there is no one to teach. . . . Pray for teachers.” Betty Weiser ’53, Netherlands Antilles: “ I have been leading the singing and teaching the memory verse, but today I made my appearance for the first time as the story teller. Recently, I passed my third Papiamentu examination and am now on my last lap of official language study. . . . Pray for our new TEAM radio station.” Pete and Yvonne (Zimmer ’48) Nicolay, Manila: “W e need tracts! 120 students are enrolled this semester at FEBIAS. Each weekend as students and faculty go, forth in evangelistic work, approximately 6,000 tracts are distributed.
