aries and national leaders in Colombia. From Lelia Bascom, B. Chr. Ed. '40, comes the report of a trip up the Orinoco River, Venezuela, S. America, made by D o r o t h y Black, B. Chr. Ed. ’40; Charles (’36) and Mrs. Olvey, and her self. These young people came to towns never visited before by missionaries. A fter four hot days on the river boat, they arrived in Cabruta, and found a little group of believers hungry for teaching. These had been brought to the Lord by Christians from another district years ago. Miss Bascom says in her letter: “How we wished for more time! There is such a harvest and so few reapers. Several natives said to us, 'Oh, we believe the gospel is true, but what good will it do us to accept the Lord if you don’t stay and teach us?’ ” James ( ’26) and Mrs. Carder are calling for a barrage of prayer to break Satan’s strong hold in Medellin, Colombia, S. America. Idolatry and immoral ity go hand in hand in that needy land. All over the city and throughout the countryside are hundreds of large images of Mary and the child Jesus, but nowhere is the living Christ pro claimed. George (T8) and Mrs. Ekdahl (Gladys Gibson,' T9) who have been witnessing for Christ in Capinota, Bolivia, S. America, are looking forward to a time of furlough in the United States. Prayer is requested that a way may be provided for. them to come home. William (’22) and Mrs. Hun- richs (Hazel Long, ’23) and son have arrived from their mission station in Matto Grosso, Brazil. They may now be addressed at 1220 Colorado Blvd., Los Angeles 41, Calif. Eldon (’38) and Mrs. Johnson (Opal Sherier, ’37) write from Poopo, Bolivia, S. America: “The Lord has truly blessed here in Poopo and in the surrounding re gion. We thank Him far a few faithful ‘babes in Christ’ whom He has brought unto Himself. We .plan to contact individual homes for Christ as often as pos sible.”
Don and Mrs. Turner (Faith Hollingsworth, ’21) have sent a request for prayer from Caripe, Venezuela, S. America: “The of ficial organ of the Archbishop of Caracas gives us and our Bible Institute wide propaganda. It prepares the minds of the people by giving all sorts of poisoned statements about the different Protestant groups in Venezuela, saying that where they are really strong is in Caripe. Pray much about this for they undoubtedly plan a real attack against us.” And now just a word about Biola reunions here and abroad! At Newton, Kan., the following Biola graduates and former stu dents gathered for an evening of fellowship: Walter and Mrs. An dres; Orlando and Mrs. Andres; Fern Baer; Herman and Mrs. Busenitz; Agnes Claassen, Curt (’42) and Mrs. Claassen (Olga Schultz, ’43) ; Lewis and Mrs. Claassen; Clyde H. Dirks, ^ ¡¿E d ward Entz; Helen Entz; Willie E. Entz; Sister Helena Entz, ’32; El sie Harder; Esther Harder; B. G. and Mrs. Harder; Herbert and Mrs. Harder; John and Mrs. Jan zen .(Helene Claassen, ’24); Ar thur Regier; Gus and Mrs. Regier; Walter (’36) and Mrs. Regier; .Wanda Regier; Harriet Regier; La Verne Rutschman, ’41; Homer Sperling, B. Th. ’44; Martha Thiessen, ’42; Lois Weh- ger; Ruth Wenger, ’42; and Ma bel Wutherich. From the heart of Africa comes the news of a Biola re union among the Africa Inland missionaries of Tanganyika Terr., East Africa. Those privileged to gather for Biola reminiscing were: Richard (B. Th. ’38) and Mrs. Dilworth (Florence Wessel, ’39) ; Frank' ( ’28) and Mrs. Man ning; Hamilton (’33) and Mrs. Morrow (Emily G. Moses, ’34). We want to hear about your Biola reunion, too. Don’t forget to write. For new personalities and important events, turn to page 392. Rejoicing in Him,
Having visited Central Ameri ca in last month’s letter, we now journey Qn southward, via cor respondence, to the land of South America. Arrie Rouintree, ’34, a mission ary under the Bolivian Indian Mission, has experienced one of the biggest thrills that can come to an ambassador of Christ in a foreign country. One day she was met by an Indian from a distant tribe. He was in search of a missionary for his people. Miss Rouintree went to the tribe, and found the people eager to hear the gospel. As soon as she ap peared, the Indians began assem bling to ask her to tell them what the gospel was. They- said missionaries never before had visited their trible. What a privi lege that was to tell the old, old story! Wilfred and Mrs. W a t s o n (Elizabeth L i ma , ’37) send greetings from Colombia, South America. By the grace of God their church at La Donjuana has received , blessings, both spiritual and material. The building has undergone repairs, and has received a new front in anticipation of being host to a general assembly of mission
