Philip and Alice (Kline ’50) Ocampa, California: “ This year, Phil has been en rolled in the Institute Evangelico in Puente where we have been living on campus in our little trailer. W e assist in the Alta Vista Baptist Mission in La Habra, where Phil preaches on Sunday mornings. Other opportunities include pri son, Juvenile Hall, hospital and home visitation, and several trips into Mexico as counsellors and interpreter for young people’s meetings.” Virginia Nicholson ’56, India: “ Though evangelistic work is strenuous, God blessed and gave the needed strength. W e camped in tents under a grove of mango trees by an irrigation ditch and very near a well. More than thirty villages were visited in the mission jeep. The little ones were most excited. ‘I go to kindergarten now! See? I am trying to learn how to write!’ This is from four year old Suman. Six weeks later the way opened for me to spend my regular holiday, somewhat ex tended, in Japan with my parents. This has been a time of rest and refreshment, spiritually and physically. Now my little girls are counting the days until the day I expect to arrive in Mukti.” Ruby Miller ’48, Bolivia: “ I received the news of my Dad’s homegoing on the field.” Since then her Mother has passed on to be with the Lord. “ Sometimes home seems so far away and it helps to have letters to know what is going on in the lives of friends.” Casilla 40 Trinidad, El Beni Bolivia, South America Jim ’59 and Joan (Blomgren '58) Mulder, Brazil: “W e have made progress toward our goal of leaving for Brazil.” Laura Best ’35, ’36, Nigeria: “The de mand for Christian literature, inexpensive, far exceeds the output even though the Translation Committee is at work night and day. At present we have 18 branch bookshops scattered across Nigeria. These are all stocked by the main store here in Jos.” Ruth Casey ’48, West Africa: “We praise God that we have a building with adequate facilities for literature produc tion. Then I wish you could peek into our work room and see the growing stack of blue books with the word MARIKI written in large letters across their covers. It means that the Gospel of Mark has been mimeographed and we are in the process of assembling it.” Janet and Robert ’55 Lawhead, Bel gian Congo: “ A short while ago we had a ground breaking ceremony for the new school building that we have been talking about for so long. Congo is much in need of your prayers these days and it has been a real encouragement to hear how so many of you are faithfully upholding us before the Throne of Grace.”
Dorothy Uhlig ’45, Thailand: “Many tribal people have visited me the last couple of weeks, and several of the Miao have seemed quite interested in the Gospel. Two men from different villages say they think many of the Miao will become Christians soon.”

Peggy Hook ’53, Pakistan: (see picture) “ The International Cooperation Adminis tration (ICA) has its headquarters in Karachi and I am working in the Agri cultural Division. Soon after arriving I met Elmer ’47, ’55 and Gloria (Johnson ’42 Fricke, and I have been helping them in the Sunday school work of the Grace Community Church. Through this, there has been organized a teenage girls club called “ Joy Teens” to work on projects and various things for an orphanage and to gather these girls together for a time of devotions. Shown are 8 or 12 members of the club who are from homes of American employees — some government and some business.” N. Paul V. ’54 and Mrs. Devi ’55 Gupta, India: “ The sixth graduation service (1960) of the Hindustan Bible Institute added sixteen dedicated graduates to the missionary ranks of India. Five of this year’s graduates (with one student’s wife who is not a graduate, and their two chil dren) went into the north of India to the state of Rajasthan. Immediately they met with oppositions, and threats, and even suffered physical violence from the leader of a fanatical Hindu group.” Lyle Eggleston ’49, Chile: “W e talked with rich and poor alike who survived the catastrophe. In a few moments’ time they were leveled to the same dire misery, with nothing left but the clothing they were wearing. The proud and the humble clung together in the streets, groping for support as the earth beneath their feet swayed and opened. And all of them called on God, some with fear, but Christians experienced His peace even then.” Ellen (Hoffman) Wintersteen ’21, Boli via: “W e are in our 39th year with the Bolivian Indian Mission and are once again back among the Quichua Indians. Today, on a trip to one of their homes in the mountains, we visited three persons who had previously listened to the mes sage. They wanted to accept God’s gift of salvation and to follow the Lord Jesus Christ.”
