Westlund, secretary of overseas missions of the Evangelical Free Church of America, recently journeyed to the Republic of Congo where he spoke at the annual con ference of the Congolese church and counseled with missionaries and na tional church leaders concerning the further progress of the work. EFCA missionaries are w ork in g in the northwest comer of the Congo and were evacuated in 1960 when inde pendence came and again in 1964 when the unrest developed.

We are, therefore, making a determined and prayerful effort to obtain 100 new missionary candidates in 1967.” Mr. Hall
This tiny Korean darling is the victim of a ravaged society. Abandoned by parents, with no one to care, somehow she was brought to one of c o m p a s s io n ’ s Homes where Christian love and care abound for more than 22,000 children at present. Could you have turned her away? Like hundreds of others who come to our 170 Homes, how ever, she sorely needs a sponsor. And each day she with hundreds
of others prays that God will send her a “ M om m y ” or “ Daddy” like other children have. You can answer that prayer today. For only $10.00 a month you can have the joy of sharing a little girl’s or boy’s life—writing letters, exchanging photos, etc. Can you think of a better way to invest a few pennies a day? We sincerely invite your re sponse in the coupon below.
