Dear Brethreni

We have already served on the Mission field in South Africa# In i960 we established the Wynberg Church of Christ in Cape Town consisting largely
of brethren from the Polo Road Church, In 1962 we moved to Pretoria where

we conducted calling campaigns and personal evangelism.

In 1965 we returned from South Africa when Nancy had back trouble, and our
baby daughter Sandra was ill v/ith asthma, pneamonia, and T.B. almost to the point of death. Praise the Lord they were both cured. And I took advantage of being here to take some graduate studies at Lincoln Christian Seminary. In addition I have served as full-time minister at the Tinley Park Church of Christ for the last two and one-half years.
Once again we feel that the time is right for us to and the Lord is opening the doors for us to do just study of a map of South Africa, and the location of the field, we havo concluded tliat a strategic spot would be the city of Port Slizabeth about 5^0 miles return to South Africa, that. After a careful missionaries already on for our new ministry due east of Cape Town*

Brethren, we need your help.

Launching out on a new missionary campaign

is not easy. Funds will be needed for travel and support. Even now we are in theprocess of traveling to present the South African work to the churches. Will you please join with others in praying for us as we enter this new venture of service for Christ. We have already stepped out 01 faith, and have made our reservations on Icelandic and Trek Airways

for January 1967* The fare will be -i?1527*00 which we need to raise by then. V/e encourage you to help by contributing to
our Travel Fund for the next few months, or even better

by a regular monthly gift.

Yours in the I^iaster's name,

Carroll and Nancy.
