HongKong Every month, more than 1500 peo ple are treated for a multitude of varying afflictions in the Emmanuel Medical Clinic with a staff of dedi cated workers. Dr. Peter Jenkins, M.D., is associate with the Roberts’ in this important phase of the ministry. While treatment is being given to aid in curing ailments of the body, earnest Bible women seek to present the only cure for the death-dealing
philosophy of communism. Here at the Youth Center, Christian princi- pies of life, and love for Christ, are given. Church conferences are also held in this central rallying point. The future of BIOLA in Hong Kong has but one direction in which to go, and that is forward. Every year, thousands of refugees stream across the bamboo curtain seeking refuge. The area’s population is exploding, and in need of a constant consistent witness for Christ. Earnest prayers are sought concerning the establishment of a Christian day school and nursery for the many hundreds of orphaned children. Free land has been prom ised for this purpose if funds can be secured for the building and main- tainence of the operation. This year, here in America, the children around us have been within hearing distance of the Gospel mes- sage. Would we deny the same privi lege to the boys and girls of Hong Kong?

Since being forced out of China by the communists, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Inc., has established an important missionary organization in Hong Kong, last outpost of democracy on the China coast. Directed by Dr. and Mrs. Charles A. Roberts, the work is diversified in an effort to reach every age group with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

People in Asia, as well as in every other area of the globe, have an earnest desire to become literate.
