(continued from page 13) dren, an infirmary, a machine shop, and an administration building. At the present time over fifty chil dren are being cared for at the or phanage. Many of these children have come from broken homes. In others perhaps the mother has been taken by disease and the children are left to struggle for themselves. Soon after Mr. Stroman’s first trip to Mexico, he began taking friends down to see this area and to chal lenge young people to go to see a real mission field. Thus four hundred young people have been exposed to the realities of a foreign mission field. Some of these young men and women have come from as far north as Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. They come to share. They are given an opportunity to work on the grounds, hand out Gos pel tracts, participate in the services through music and also to give a tes timony through an interpreter if they cannot speak Spanish. Only eternity will reveal what has really happened in the hearts of many of these young people. Mr. Stroman has received many letters stating their desire to return to Latin America as missionaries and to Mexico, if God so leads. Centro die Amparo has had a two-fold ministry; many who have come to minister, have been minis tered to. Since that first trip in April of 1959, Mr. Stroman has made the five hundred mile round trip seventy- six times. Each time has been a thrilling experience with new bless ings, new heartaches, and new chal lenges. Besides the work of Centro de Amparo, the Mexican Fellowship has seen the desperate need for a true- to-the-Bible Spanish Christian lit erature in the areas of Mexico where their workers serve. Last year over ten thousand tracts and hundreds of Gospels of John were distrubuted by friends of the Fellowship. There is still much to be done at Centro de Amparo, but God has blessed and much has been accom plished as faithful believers have seen the need and faced the chal lenge. As Mr. Stroman explained it, “ As we extend a loving hand in the Name of Christ to the needy ones in Mexico and provide medicine for the sick, clothing and food for the needy, we are reminded of the truth ‘But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compas sion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth’ (I John 3:17-18).”

OU MAY LAUGH—or you may cry. But between miles of smiles you’ll face yourself .. . perhaps squirm at an embar rassing but accurate account of the feverish futility in much of 20th century evangelism. Bales of fun are barbed with pathetic situa tions familiar to so many misguided Chris tians, caught up in wrong-way enthusiasms of modern soul winning. This is more than just a funny story of some Christians who used a blimp to evangelize a city^-or another piece of fiction—it’s a classic that will jolt
Christians out of second- rate activities and help them evaluate some of the schemes in which they are caught. Laugh a little, cry a little — but few books will bring you “ down to earth” more effortlessly. .. / / enough people read it and act on it, it could do a minor piece of turning the world upside down."—Eugenia Price
