alumni news by Inez McGahey
Melvin ’50 and Billie Jean (Zillmer ’50) Carson, Mexico: “W e will be the house- parents in the Puebla Children’s Home. This means being absent from our village for almost a year, and rather soon after furlough; but the assignment will help us with our own children’s education. We will have both David and Ruth in school this year.” Paul and Carolyn (McCormick ’42) London, Nigeria, West Africa: “W e have been back from furlough seven months now. We are so grateful to be back and thankful to the Lord for the wonderful opportunity of serving Him through the means of radio. W e make recordings in several of the Nigerian languages. I write the scripts, Paul does the technical work, and the Nigerians do the actual speaking on the tapes which are then sent to ELWA where they are broadcast to Nigeria and other parts of the world. Some of our English tapes we make here in Jos are heard in India. I have also been busy writing. I have had several children’s books published and have just had word that one of the flannelgraph stories that I wrote, which Virginia Sackett ’42 illus trated, has been accepted for publishing.” James ’44 and Joey (Darling ’AA ) Smith, Mexico: “ Almost before we could unpack and settle in this growing city (Chihuahua) of some 165,000 people, we were asked to assume the leadership of a small group that for some time has been seeking help. Then in a matter of weeks we had opened two other new works and started helping another small mission. In addition to all this (seven services each week in four different places), we have been visiting in the town of Aldama and will begin services there as soon as we can find a location. This is a town of some 15,000 people, 25 miles from here. There is no Gospel work of any kind there.” John and Dorothy (Bemdt ’55) Davis, Laos, Indo-China: “When John first opened this province (Attopeu) to the Gospel, his vision was on the far-off hori zon of evangelizing the eight tribes. But during the past 15 months we have been undergoing a painful re-focusing . . . Our brightest Christian, our servant, and hopes for a future leader in the church, Tong,* has disappeared. It is rumored that he has joined the pro-communist rebels. In spite of our teachings, but perhaps be cause caught in the press of their threats and disillusioned with the government, he has put in with them, not knowing the whole truth.” Vincent ’48 and Virginia (Sprau ’48) Gizzi, Iw^ikunl, Japan: “ Tentative plans have been made for the proposed book store-service center. Provision has been made for a Japanese worker to live on the property according to Japanese custom.”
INVESTMENT PLAN
Many of the Lord's people today are seeking a sound investment-income plan. Those who want to give a part of their savings for investment in this Christian enterprise, and at the same time receive regular dividend returns, find this plan meets their needs. When you enter into this type of an agreement with the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, you become an active participant in all of its missionary activities. The investor is given maximum protection, in case of emergency, through the withdrawal clause, which makes possible recovery of funds originally invested. What better way can one receive an income in the Lord's work!
