how our missionaries live in
Photo Story by L loyd Ham ill
There’s a fascinating story
connected with our missionaries in
Mexico who are devoting their
lives to a long-range
plan of bringing the gospel to a
people who have never heard it once
■ exico, it has been said, is so close and JH V yet so far from the United States. It ™ seems close to the American tourists who visit Nogales and Juarez and Tijuana. But the heart of Mexico is a strange, far away land. It is a land of modem, skyscraper-studded cities, rumbling volcanoes, dense, tropical jungles, free-flowing oil wells, time worn pyramids and Indians that still worship the gods of their ancestors. It is a land of vast wealth and in credible poverty. It is a land with the world’s most fabulous university and a land teeming with men and women who will never have the opportunity to learn to read and write. It is a land rich in magnificent cathedrals and poor with the straggling masses who seek a way of life that has meaning. This is Mexico. The picture story on these pages is the story of how two missionary families live in the heart of Mexico. And it is the story of how the gospel of Jesus Christ is being put into the language of the Indian. 12
