Witnessing
to
Rhodesia Page 2 21 September 1975
^ I
was
asked
to
give a
two
hour lecture on the subject of
Church Growth in Cultures . This
dealt
mainly with the study
of
a
culture
and
the
inost
effective means
of comrfiunieating th e
Gospel to
a
p ers o n i n t h a t
c u l t u r e .
The
hardest
part
was
putting
information
down
on
paper
that
has been gathered and used over the years.
Many
interesting
t h i n g s
were d is cu ss ed d urin g
th e
e n t i r e conference an d
we
a l l
came
away
knowing t wa s
good
t o b e t h e r e . Th e f o l k
from S o u t h
Africa were a great
inspiration
to a l l and
we
thank
the Lord
fo r t h ei r presence. Originally the missionary families from
Zambia were planning
th e
program
for
this
year
but
the
remaining
closure
of
the border on the Zambian side prevented
their
coming.
BACK
TO
S l k O I a
^After being
gone for
these things i t was
good
to
be back in
Sinoia.
The Good I\iews
Centre
had gone
well with the
Rhodesian
s t a f f
who take
care o f i t
w ith on ly a
fe w
d e t a i l s
to attend to .
The mobile
unit
had
to
have
some
work done on
i t but i t vms
soon
going
well
and
many more
were
received to Christ
through
i t s
m i n i s t r y l a s t week up around Mangula where we work
with five
churches. The response continues to amaze us and we
look
forward
to the
next
three weeks as i t makes i t s way
to
the Gokwe area
a b o u t
200
m i l e s away.
Another church b u i l d i n g has been
e r e c t e d
i n
th e
Gokwe a r e a
by
one o f th e co n g reg at i o n s t h e r e
and
t
w i l l
be d e d i c a t e d t h i s
next

w ith a campaign t h e r e .
PROBLEMS S T I L L
F A C o U S .
The Lord
has
b lessed th e work
m i g h t i l y an d
i n a r e a l sense
we d o n t have problems because
we know the Lord always takes
care
o f
His
own.- - Hovi ever, we also knov/
t h a t
He expects us
to

we

O ff To
The U.S .A .
For
two years we had
contemplated coming
to the
U.S.A.
Our
youngest
daughter Lynda, age
seven
and a
ha l f ,
had
been
diagnosed
,as severely mentally retarded. I t was
suggested
that she be
brough t to th e U.S.A.
due
to th e
l ack
o f f a c i l i t i e s
fo r he r
case
in
Rhodesia .
I
f i na l l y
agreed
t h a t
if
the
repor t s
were
s tudied
and
Doctors f e l t she could be helped, and, f e l t it was necessary
to br ing her
immediately
I had sa id , I would. The answers were
Ye s .
Within
two
weeks
we t r i ed to make
a l l
arrangements , and
a r r ived in Chicago on
the 10th
o f October. This
was
made poss ib le
because Heleh
stayed
in Rhodesia with Karolyn and Tommy to at tend
to
the
many th ings t h e r e . Today,

Since our family wil l
be coming on furlough
in
September of
1974, Lord
wil l ing, i t
was recommended
that
Lynda return to Rhodesia
with
me. A
special education program
is
being
worked out
by the
Rehabili tation Center
in Kansas City, and the special education
department of Kansas State Teachers College in Hays, Kansas.
N eve r A lon e
Lynda s
condition, devaluation of the dollar,
and
other things
have
made
the
past
year a
rather
difficult
one.
I t
has been
just
over 4 years since our last furlough, so this
brief
, but exception
al ly busy time has been
a
great
blessing
to
me.
We
had
no
idea that
so
many
churches and hundreds
of
people have been
fervently praying.
Helen s
parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin Forkner, have been very
helpful
in
making contacts and arrangements; and, along with many
of you, have helped
in
a financial way.
y brother, Howard
recently
took a job as Public Relations Man for the Homer B. Reed Adjustment
and Training
Center
in Hays,
Kansas.
He was able
to
make
several
vita l appointments with key men at the College. My mother and dad
were
also
very
helpful
in the added responsibilities of
being
for
warding
agents
at
a
time l ike
this Thank you
a l l so
much for
a l l
of these
th ings
We
are overwhelmed by
the
tremendous response to
the needs.
The response to the ministry of the Good News Center is
wonderful
and
though there are
st i l l
needs to be met before June of
1974
a
lot
of pressure has been relieved through
that
which has been given
and
the..conmittments that have been
made.;
The greatest blessing
however,,
has been the flail real izat ion that, we are
never
alone.
News From He l e n
.Helen
is
a marvelous
wife
and mother, and i t was hard to leave
her.,,bphind:,in Rhodesia with Karolyn
and
Tommy
though I
know
the
Lord
is being,, ajllowed to lead, in a ll things. She has been
faith fu l in
writing .to Lynda and me keeping us informed of
the hews
there. She
mentioned that.
Tommy
had cut open a golf
ball
which sprayed, a
solution
in his eyes.which caused some excitement and concern. She
also
told

Lynda
and I
will arrive in
Rhodesia the day
before
Thanksffivinc
and
how
wonderful i t will.be. I m sure this will be the greatest
thanksgiving ever. By the time you get this
letter,
I suppose vou
will all be preparing for a busy Christmas season. We do wish you the
very best for Christmas and a good
New
Year in Christ.
ay
od use us
all to
give real meaning
to
the season^ and may we seek
opportunity to
givo
