Dear Friends iri Christ,
I am back iri Osorno after a vfiry busy and exciting Summer, The Lord

blessed us abundantly, especially vjith children and young people to

teach.

Praise Himl

I'll" tell you a little bit about Vacation Bible

Schools and camp. Our first D.V.B.S* was held in the church in Valparaiso, The number of students ms small but the school was very much successful, I taught the little ones and enjoyed it very much. There was enough personnel to help in the Vacation Bible Schools in Las Hijuclas and Quilpue so I didn't have to help* I spent those

two weeks studying and preparing for camp.

The Granizo leaders held

It is alvTfiys a blessing to us when there are

Christians in ecich local congr^egstibr^, "who are willing and able to do

their own teaching.


it.

Lord v/illing, someday all the churches in Chile

will be cible to do this, I helped in the school at Curacavi and we had a wonderful time. It was ouite trying at times but it was worth
We had over 100 children and only three teachers so you can
imagine hov; busy we vjere.

The Bible camp was also held in Curacavi on the church grounds, V7e were bu' y the week befoi-e cam.p started with last-minute preparations

and on Sunday evening, February 6th, the teen-ager's camp started.


Vie had 10 campers, five of which were from the non-instrumental Church

of Christ,

To the first year students I taught "Knowing the Bible"

and to the second year students I taught "The Role of Youth in God's Plan", It vjas a very ricli experience for me and I thank the Lord

for the priviledge. The young people v/ere very enthused with every thing and v^it-. everyone v;orkin=< together it turned out to be a topnotch canp, I sponsored one group of carr.pers and Brother Phil Morgan*

from'Santiago sponsored the other,

ij'e presented ^ible dramss, stunts,

etc,, had turns being in charge of vesper services, competed in bas^ ketball and volleyball and had some wonderful fellowship, I feel compelled to keep askino: you to pray for the younr; epoole of Chile, Almost everyone of the young people v/ho attended canp are capable of

being top ouality church leaders in the future.

of the Christians, ..especially those in tB villages and country are very ignorant, -They know enough to be Christians but, v^en it comes to basic things, they believe anythinr^ they are told instead of being able to study and r eason for tlienselves. For instance, one elderly lady was telling me somethin^i; she believed, which was obviously wrong { I can't reraer.iber now what it was). Slie believed it b-.^cause it said
so in the hymnbook, Some feel that the hj'-mnal is inspired also. I proceeded to explain to her. Uur jiroblem ia great in teaching them the importance of an elder or a deacon meeting the qualifications wq

find in the scriptures, or that babies don't have to be officially


presented in the cimrch meeting. My heart aches vjhen I see a multi

tude of children hungering after the truth and when it is very sin-^ cerelj'' presented to them the3'' do not understan^l it because it is . such a deep theological lesson that the teacher doesn't'even understand it, I am telling you these things to show you what our work is and so that you. might know for what to pray.

Dear friends in C h r i s t , . . ^

I thought the Summer months were busy ones but these past two months have been just as much so, March and April have gone by po fast, I have been kept going quite steadily with helping plan radio programs, practicing musical numbers for radio, working with the youth, teachertraining work and wecekly church meetings. But, praise the Lord, that is the reason I*m here, and I^m thankful I have received strength, Spiritual and physical to do this work. At times it has been a little rough but the Lord has been my strength just like He promised He would.
A great deal of my tirae these past two months has been spent in

practicing our ladies trio and-helping organize music for the radio programs. We practice quartet, trio and radio choir three times a
week and then I also sin^; in the church choir which practices each Friday night. l*m trying to help the girls in the Alto section.

But, I have to admit that, though the radio work is important and I am helping when and where I can, my heart is in the youth work and training teachers for these children. In my last newsletter I
mentioned being anxious to get a youth group started here in Osorno. That wish is now a reality and I'd love to tell you about it.

I asked one of the young couples in the church (v;ho, I had hoped could

help serve as sponsors, but cannot) to help me prepare a party and


served sort of as a "kick-off". Twelve yourg

invited all the young people in the church and their friends.

This

people came and we had

a wonderful time getting acquainted and I then explained my plans and ideas for thorn and they vjere thrilled. We then set a day when we could meet each week. That was March 2S and on Saturday, April

2,' we had our first meeting. There were 11 in attendance. We have met for five weeks now, have elected officers, are well into the course "Knowing your Bible" and this past Saturday we had 17 in
attendance. The Lord is blessinr. them (and me) and I am thrilled

with the opportunity. Please pray for these youth and for me as I teach and guide them. I am training one of the young men in the con gregation to eventually take over the leadership of this group so I
can start other groups in o^her churches. Now, the Intermediate age children are anxious for a youth group of their own, so. Lord willing, in a few more weeks, I vdll start a special meeting for them*
Some of the ladies of the church are interested in having a special

ladies meeting with a time of study and prayer and a time to do social work. They asked me for help in starting it and I have agreed to do the teaching and help them get organized if they would agree to have

that, as soon as there are classes, and toacners with prepared, i,i

I have no doubts whatsoever

My teacher-training course for the other churches is progressing

but surely# . I find it difficult to f:.nd time to sit down and work.;'^-.'^on it as I should and as I want to. Lord vjilling, I will be presenting
, this coursi in the churches in the Horth^^rn part of Chile, where Broc Gale Smith and the harvey Beasloys are working, in. September of this year, 1 do not have a schedule made out, as yet, with dates for pre

senting the coarse in thj ether charches in Cnile,

I will try to reach

the churchcs hure in the Southorn zone bofo q Joptember, will be with the churches in the liortiiern Zone in September and, later on, whichever

dates are best, will present the prof-ram in the . churches of thu Central
zone. I continue to ask for your pt'ayers for nu in preparing and for-, those viho will be trained. In this month of liay I-have": tentative plans to visit-all the eon^re.^axiions in and around the Osorno area. The pur pose of those visits will be, not only to visit my brethren, but to ob- serve and make plans for teacher-training and j^'outh work.

Many of you havi^ askud about special needs and, I guess, the only way
to place our neods before the orethren is to express them. In my work with the young people of Chilu l a^ii very concerned that each one has his own Bible, i^iol':s are not expensive here but, many times the people are too poor oven to buy a Bib].e, I-have , made it-a practice in ,the

groups I have started or reorsaniaed, after I have presented the' les- sons on "Knowing your Bible", to precent them v;ith Bibles, either as ' prizes, or just bac-?LUse they don*t ixr;ve one. These Bibles, of course, ' are bought out of mission expenses but my mission fUnds are very lov; from what I understand. So, if there is a Sunday School class or youth
group thsat would like to have a project which is very needy, you could ,

send special offerings to my' forwarding agent, for the purpose of buy ing Bibles for the youth, of Chile, Also, wh-on I start traveling to' the
different churches in Chile to px'^sent the teacher-training course I ' will need- traveling expenses. Travel here in Chile is not cheap, nor are the distances short (look on your map of Chile and you will see what

I nE'an),

I am Sure my sponsoring church wDuld appreciate it very much

if my mission funds vjere increased" by special offerings to help -with these travel expenses. The first long trip will, be in September to Chuquicamata in the North, Another .need, which would be beneficial to you in the States, is that of n good slide.-camera, I am' sure many of you have wondered why I do not have a set of slides ready of flhile and the work I am doing here. I have trii.-d my best, but, I guess that wasn^f enough. I have a slide camera, wiiich v/as a gift to me rom ray

fellow-office -vjorkera when I woz^^ed. in Lansi.n/^.before coming to Chile.


But, I m sure, they didn^t kno'^j what a mess this second-hand slide camera vJas in when they gave it to me. I have had it repaired several times, and, after wasting several rolls of film, have given up, I have just a few slides th:.t Iie ve turned out and perhaps, eventually, vdth the help of Brother Hark and Brother Jim x can have a set ready for you, I would appreciate having an uncomplicated, inexpensive slide camera. I see so many views, si-^hts, and typical incidents that I v;ould love for you to see by way of slides but have to pass them up.

I wish I had time to wirte to each of you personally but, since I can't, .1 ask you to receive rn,y love through Jesus and greetings by way of this newsletter. Please continue to pray-pray for our strength. V/e have had m.any discouragements recently. - rlease pary for the Chilean Christians - "thnt they might grovj strong- spirituaD.ly and prepare themto teach Christ to their fellow-citizens.
