their life partners. Language study has been resumed . . . The schedule is very heavy.” Fred ’50 and Dorothy Accord, Ma’alla Village, Aden Colony, Arabia: “What a joy it has been to tell the lost of Christ and share fellowship with believers . . . Recently, on the local Arabic radio a few of the believers answered questions to a Muslim about the meaning of Salvation, et cetera. Their wonderful testimonies were widely heard throughout the Colony . . . Praise the Lord for the small nucleus of believers who are truly following Him. We need prayer to ascertain the will of God for His plans in the outreach in this neglected country.” Violet Lopes ’47 (On furlough from Portugal): “With the beginning of a new semester at Biola, the Lord gave me different employment'—Christian Education Director at a small church in Burbank, close to the NBC and Warner Brothers’ Studios. This field is a real opportunity and challenge . . . I have a Teacher Training class, a Child Evangelism class, and direct the work of the Sunday School and its activities . . . Several missionaries have been given permanent residence permits in Portugal . . . I trust that when I return this summer I, too, shall be issued another residence per mit. I hope to return by August . . . to conduct our Second Annual Teach er Training Institute in Lisbon. Pray for the personal needs and for the passage funds.” Mildred (Hilts ’25, ’27) Gronlund, Japan: “ Enclosed please find my dues and some to help with the school needs . . . I am praying that the Lord Jesus Christ will supply all the needs so that more young people can train for Christian service. Last night my house-helper and I were having our devotions when she asked how to be a child of God . . . It was then easy to lead her to the Lord. Please pray for her family as they are devout Bud- dists.” Paul ’54 and Maithrie ’55 Gupta, India: Just ten years ago they sought out Christian leaders to help them form a Board of Directors and set in motion plans to establish a school in which to train young people in India to “ go and preach,” as Paul says. The Hindu stan Bible Institute in Madras today stands as a mighty monument to God’s desire and plan to reach the land of India through her native sons and daughters . . . Hindustan Bible Insti tute can now accommodate eighty-five students, they expect the present en rollment of forty-three to double . . .
