down-hearted, no, no, no." The words of that little chorus

from the voices of 101 young people gathered for a two day
It was Mardi Gras time and school was closed. Our teenagers
for Bible study, prayers, messages and songs while others

went the way of dancing and pleasures of the "world".

From 8 a.m. un

til 10 p.m. both days our young people keenly enjoyed the things of

the Lord, We are truly proud of their growth and their desire to be

Christians, On the closing night there was an evangelistic meeting

with lovely music from our school band and choral group. Don Dugan
our field representative was here and brought the message.
Another work team from Indiana came and built our farm processing
building. It houses a feed storage room, walk-in-cooler for eggs and
meat, and a slaughter room for beef, goats and pigs. Our egg product
ion has now passed 150 eggs a day and our children are getting two
eggs each per week. Join with us in a prayer of thanks for God^s
goodness, V/e are now in need of a compressor for the cooler.,let us
pray together for this need.

Other highlights in recent weeks were an adult seminar with several

visiting preachers from the U.S., the wedding of David Marcelin, dental

assistant in our clinic and associate pastor for the cHiirch. Nanette,
his sweet wife has already begun her role as pastor's wife and "mission

Thank you for your loving support for us and Christianville. This
month we leave these two precious gifts with you - the love of a little

child for whom you have given a "cup of cold water", and the gratitude
of a new Christian for whom you have sent the Gospel message. We are
encouraged with the knowledge of your continued prayers for us and for

your love for the Christianville outreach.

In Christian love,

Jim and Carol, Wayne and Chris

Let us press on.

Early morning on the farm at Christianvllle - a peaceful lovely sight. On the left is
the chicken house and on the right is the pig house. Behind the two is the nev/ tri
ple purpose building for feed storage, butchering area and cooler. A recent har
vest of fish from the pond brought several hundred pounds of fish for the school
and people of our area. Shortly before the sun rose on this scene the church bell

tolled its lovely sound to call our people to prayer. The early morning songs are
simply beautiful. Truly we are thankful for the blessings of our Heavenly Father.

THE LORD TENDERLY

TOOK HER

Grandma Walker as she was so af

fectionately known, went to be

with her Lord March 29,1985. She
would have been 88 on April 5th.
Grandma was a missionary volun

teer - a dedicated, hard-working

soldier laboring side by side with

Jim and Carol for 24 years. She
was born in Buffalo, New York,
educated

in

business

college,

married and had four children. She

leaves daughters Carol, Mrs. Betty

Hamilton, and Mrs. Adele Hill.
It was in her home that inspiration

was planted in Carol's heart for

the mission field. Every mission

ary who visited our church was invlted home to have dinner with us.

ik% Mother was a loving hostess.

After her children were grown she moved to Florida and was in business there un
til her husband died. It was then that she joined the family at the Jamaica Chris
tian Boy's Home and there she labored tirelessly for 17 years. She supervised the
kitchen and took complete charge of the Home when Jim and Carol were In the
mountains all summer working with youth camps. Grandma was an excellent Bi
ble teacher and taught an adult class most of the years she spent in Jamaica.
Grandma Walker moved to Haiti with the family and there again made her dedi
cated contribution to the work. Her last loving efforts were made peeling eggs for
500 school children each week...children she loved.

Grandma had been falling and we felt she deserved more professional care than
we could give so she went to Christian City Nursing Home In Atlanta, GA.. It was a

sad parting for us but we rejoiced in the loving care she received the few weeks
she was there. The end came much earlier than we expected but we are thankful

that our prayers were ansewered...God quietly and tenderly took her. Those of you
who know Grandma will share our loss but will also rejoice in her reaching her re
ward with the Lord.

TEEN TIME YOUTH RETREAT

Our teens are hire to help us build tomorrow.

There were 101 of them at our Teen Time Retreat a gathering that would uplift
and gladden the heart of any dedicated Christian. Lool< around and see what we

see...boys and girls stretching into manhood and womanhood, boys and girls who
four years ago were just learning to read and write, learning to live with hope and
a bright future, learning the joy of having enough to eat. There are the boys and
girls who once knew more voodoo than Christianity and now know the Lord Jesus
as Saviour and Friend.

The retreat opened on Tuesday morning with breakfast at 7 a.m. Bible Classes,
prayers, singing, testimonies continued for two days and nights. Teenagers were
blessed.

Especially thrilling were the messages brought by some of the older teens real
evidence of the beautiful natural talent that lies ready to be discovered in the

Haitian people. Hour after hour they were attentive, hungry for Spiritual things,
tireless. On the closing night at 10 p.m. they gathered at our home for hot dogs (a
rare treat) and closing songs and prayers.
Can you see why our teens are very special to us?
Yes, they are building tomorrow...they are the hope of tomorrow.

101 CHRISTIANViLLE TEEN-AGERS GATHER

On Fridays our school chapel is a joint assembly of all of our school children
except the Kindergarten. On the other four days the younger half meet In the
school hall with Christine, or "Madam Wayne" as the children respectfully call
her. Meanwhile David Marcelln teaches the older children in the church building.
Once the children are settled in their seats there Is no discipline problem. Haitian
children are attentive and respectful in their school chapel time.

It is here that young hearts are taught and challenged for Christ. What serious

thoughts are in the minds of our chiidren'as they bow in prayer? Only our Father
knows and so it should be. Yet we know that He promised that His Word would
not return unto Him void.

Decisions are being made and lives...young precious lives are being changed. The
door of opportunity is open and we are thankful for a Government that allows and

encourages the Gospel message. Let us be thankful together.

IM
LOVE RUNS IN THE CHRISTIANVILLE FAMILY
Charlta had been paralyzed for several years. No one quite remembered how long.
But it had been long enough that Charita had given up hope of ever doing anything
except iying on the ground in her straw-roofed hut. She had grown to accept her
lot.

But one day our Dentist, Virgii Uilom, heard about her and began to minister com
passion and love to her. He talked with her, took her little treats of food, prayed
with her and finally told her he was bringing a surprise for her on his next trip from
Florida to the dental clinic at Chrlstianville. And that day came.

We drove as near to her house as we possi

bly could and then carried the sturdy wheel

chair the rest of the way. Charita could hard
ly believe her good fortune. It took tender
loving care to move her from the ground in
to the chair but it wasn't long before Charita
saw the full light of the day, the blue skies
above, the lush green mountains off in the
distance...for the first time in years.
A few days before this a dear little goat was
born in our yard. The mother died and the
baby was hungry. GieGie, our mother dog,
had just had pups and so had enough milk
to share. The pups moved over and let the
little goat share their dinner.
It was a beautifull scene - so much like God

would have us all to be. And like we said,"

Love runs in the Christianviile family."

.v-v-wy:

THANK YOU
Marie is sick. It has been the custom of her

mother and her grandmother and her great

grandmothers way back to African days, to go
to the witch doctor for treatment. He has some

very strange medicines and strange things to

do to drive away the evii spirits he thinks are
making the people sick. Before we came to
Christianviile many peopie went to the witch
doctor. After we began the clinic people came
to us for for medicine but sometimes they were
not sure they could trust the medicine and they
were afraid to leave the witch doctor. Now after

seven years most of the people have iearned to

trust the missionary's medicines. They have

also learned that the government medicine is
the same as the missionary's and that it will
them get well. Marie is at the clinic and with

medicines and prayers she should get well.

Thank you for helping us care for Marie.

Pigs, pigs, pigs. The pig house is fuli of them.

And pretty soon our big fat mothers will give us
lots more pigs. Out in the mountains are many

CHRISTIANVIILE

JUNIOR

children waiting for their

daddies to have pigs, too.
As soon as our mother pigs
have babies we will give
each farmer one baby girl
pig. He will then raise his
to have more. After awhile

our poor families will have

some pigs to sell to help
them buy food for all their
family.

When we help our people it

makes them know that Je
sus loves them even more

than we do. He loves them

just as much as He loves

you. Isn't that good news?
He will be their friend and

Saviour and will give them

eternal life.

RAISINS LOTS OF RAISINS

Recently the United States sent a gift of hundreds of tons of raisins to Haiti for
needy children. We received 200 weighing 30 pounds each. Now raisins have al.ways been a luxury and many Haitian children had never tasted them. They are full
of vitamins that help our children and so we are very grateful to the United States
for their gift. Here you see two of our young students stuffing their cheeks with
the lovely fruit.

TEENAGERS Wewish you could visitour teen class on Sunday mornings. At

tendance runs from 65 to 80 each Sunday. They are great kids and eager to learn
from their Bibles. Here you see Minister Don Hardison from Corinth church, Loganville, Ga. bringing a lesson to the class when he visited with his team. (That

was the hard-working tearn'

that built the pig house and
the put all those benches in

the church building.) Pastor

David and Mommy Herget
share the class which is from

8:30 to 10:00 each Sunday.

More than half of the class

are now Christians. They sing

in Church and are eager
helpers when needed.

Happy, healthy children they are. But day before yesterday they were tiny little ones
with little hope for the future. Your "care" shows here. After four years in school the
sunshine of God's love has brightened every area of their lives. Their smiles tell the
story.

On the cover yousee our littleAstrid. You will remember the sadness of her young life
weighing only 12 pounds at the age of two years Astrid had little hope of living.
See what God has done ! He has provided the food and care through Christianville and
now Astrid has made a change. Her four weeks in our home was a joyful service shared
by all of our family. One day we hope there will be room for her at Christianville School...
room for her to find continued health and fulfillment in life with Jesus as her best friend.

A "CORNER" OF CHRISTIANVILLE'S PRIDE AND JOY

Like the many sides of a beautiful prism, education enlightens the lives of our
Christianville children. Above you see eight of our young gentlemen en route to

the National Palace to perform fortheir PresidentJean Claude Duvalier on Haiti's

Flag Day.

And they had a right to be. They w/orked hard for that day and it v/ill be long
remembered, perhaps evento the day they will tell the tale to their own sons. They
were specially chosen from our school band for good performance and the
Minister of Youth provided uniforms and treats.

But this isonly a small part of the story of education at Christianville. It is a well
rounded program of the 3 R's, sewing, music, agriculture and crafts. And the sum
mer program magnifies each effort. The slower learners are diligently working to
"catch up", the sewing classes are learning new techniques and the agricultural
classes divide their time from the field to the classroom. At the close of each

day's work the children assembleinthe church for theirSpiritual lessonand song
time.

Reward,?

Yes, a lovely dinner, fun and songs and the sheer Joy of being a part of a bright
hope for the future.

These are your kids and ours. Love them with us !

"BRIGHT AS A NINE-PENCE"

They are always together...these three. Mischief dances in their eyes while a com
pelling spirit leaps from them toyour heart. You just can'thelp loving every inch ofthem.

Bright asa nine-pence wo used to say in Jamaica days but hearts as soft asmush. They

want attention, hugs, kisses, and are prepared for a little correction, too. No, they don't
complain about that. In class they do well, these three. But look out, teacher, you might
find a lizzard in your hand-bag ! Or maybe a little lovenote Inside your study book.
No time for girls, thesethree...too many birds to chase and toomuch watching to do.

Uncle Sam is always doing something interesting and they follow him around like the

pied piper. If you pass them on the road you can always get a merry hello and a hug if
you are near enough.

What will they be someday ? Chief of the area, "Chef section" to be exact in French.

Perhaps a good farmer ora craftsman. Christianville school offers more each year of its
life and therein lies the responsibility of us all. They are watching us...looking to us for
guidance. No "welfare state" forthem. No, they will learn each one to provide for them
selves, for their future families. They will learn to work, to be creativeand to use the hid

den talents that lie within. And God will help them. He is there in every activity, loving,
caring.

They will work hand in hand with Him. Watch and see I

God's Spirit doesn't feed hungry children or give medicine to the sick, or
love to the elderly. God doesn't build schools or Nutrition Centers, or
preach the Gospel.

But God who "so loved the world" has commissioned us to be His hands

and feet and voice -carrying the Gospel and reaching out a hand of love to
the uttermost parts of the earth.

Thank you for holding up our hands, for ministering so lovinglyto us, for
sharing in the financial load... for just being there and caring. We send you
our loving appreciation.

FUTURE.

It takes a heap of plannin' to keep Christianville rolling along. And we are wide open to
good advice, new ideas and Spiritual encouragement. Bob Puckett came to visit and was

a pro in all three of these areas. Bob, Jim and Carol were "best friends" in school days at
Atlanta Christian College and the friendship grew In time to include Bob's wife, Doreen.
They were married after school days.

Our friendship never faded and now after these many years we are deeply grateful for
a visit Bob made to Christianville. Bob has been Executive Director of Christian City
since its beginning. And Doreen has been his wonderful helpmeet. This multi-faceted
Christian outreach for senior citizens, convalescents, and for hundreds of children in

need, is truly an outstanding work in Atlanta, Georgia.

We have always been proud of Bob's work and so we were also proud to choose the
name Christianville, a second for Christian City.
Thanks for coming Bob. Your continued help and encoi/Tagement has blessed our
work through the years.

REACHING OUT
The word "missionary" is not in the Bible. Jesus said, "You shall be my "witnesses".
And this is our commission here in Haiti.

Christianville witnesses the love of Christ to His children, the compassion of Christ to
the suffering and the salvation of Christ to "whosoever will." Each week a preaching or
teaching message is given in four outreaches in the mountains and in ten different

In a real sense, reaching Into the lives of these desperately needy people and offering
them Spiritual help.

We need your prayers as we continue to be witnesses for Christ, reaching out to other
areas needing help.

SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

Our production here at Christianville is very rewarding. One field of our newly
acquired land is full of ripened corn for the chickens while the other is full of

bananas. l[hirty-four dozen eggs are collected daily from the hen house, the pigs
will soon deliver their young and the fish pond is full of fish. The fisheries depart
ment of United Nations is headed by Mr. Jim Miller who supervises our pond. He
promises that our August harvest will bring two ton of fish.
Yes, we are experiencing showers of blessings for our work with the poor. But
the physical food is matched nicely with the Spiritual as we reach into the hearts
and lives of so many with the Gospel.

SUMMER IS A FUN TIME

Children of Christianvllle School are having a really nice summer. Classes were ar

ranged for sewing and agriculture for the older children, music classes for the school
band, (Big brother Jerome who is home from BibleCollege teaches them) while many of
the younger group are "catching up" in summer school classes. But there is still a small
group of the bright boys who spend their days playing around the school and mission
lands. And they are eager workers. Building, is going on in three places... at the new utili
ty building,at the new apartment for David who works in the dental clinic, and at another
very important building...a new kitchen for the school.
Now there are things that boys can do, the main one being carrying water to the ce
ment mixer. Round and round it goes drinking many buckets of water. Meanwhile the

men keep shouting for more cement and more water I Oh, how those boys have to hus
tle. All of children are eager to see their new kitchen finished. And we are, too, for it will

be a big help. The old one was much too small and crowded for cooking for so many
children...440 I The other children eat in the Nutrition Center.

Now we do not use our good drinking water for building. We have a hand pump on a

small well that gives water good enough for building. And the boys like to pump the
water and watch the buckets fill.

Summer is a time when we work and play, study and pray. Just before lunch each day

the children gather in the church for a song-time, a story and a Prayer. We hope you are
having a good summer, too.

LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME AND FORBID THEM NOT,

FOR OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

MATT. 19 :

14

Boys and girls, it was Jesus who said these beautiful words. This is a good verse for
you to learn. Jesus loves you and He also loves the little children in this Island of Haiti.
At Christianville there are hundreds of children. Some of them are fat and happy and at
tending our school. But many are still sad and hungry for love and attention. One of
these fine days we believe that God will allow us to build a new school building for 800 of
these children. In the meantime we are getting ready for the children. We have already
dug down deep into the earth to find water, and God has provided. Now we must pump it
up into the big tank.

In September we want to take more little ones into the kindergarten. Sometimes they
come and stand at the gate to look in and to wish that they could come in. Will you pray
with us that soon we will be able to build the first classrooms ? And when God answers

our prayer, we will all be happy.

In the picture above you see one of our precious little girls resting on Uncle Sam's
shoulder during the church service. We sneaked up quietly behind them to snap this pic
ture for you. Do you like it ?

It is beautiful to watch them.

We have been blessed with good help this year..Doctors, Dentists,

Yes, we are

thankful for your special care for us.

We also appreciate your comforting letters and cards in our time of sorrow. We

Seriously, what can

do on the Mission Field?
Are you willing to get dirty for the LORD? If you are, read on!
Can you do tho'se tasks that have no glory or honors attached?

Those same old chores you often dread at home need to be done on the Mission
Field: cooking, cleaning, laundry, mending...all on a larger scale.

Our Medical Clinic has need of volunteer RN's, LPN*s, Doctors...

The Dental Clinic is pleased when Dentists and hygenists come.
Send in advance copies of your license and diploma.
Mechanical?

Auto or appliance - something is always in need of repair.

Maybe your talents are farming and ranching - there are cows, pigs, goats
and chickens to be fed, eggs to be gathered, cleaned and sorted. The pig
and chicken houses need cleaning and the fish need harvesting. In our
tropical climate we are in the process of planting, weeding or harvesting
almost continually.
Do keep in mind we have on the job training - male or female in most jobs.

If you haven't found your place of service why not talk to us about a par
ticular project for your church. They could raise the funds and perhaps
send a group to work on that project.
Now you have read the challenge - read below how you can reap the blessings.

Family devotions each week night - a Spiritual Feast. (You may share
in this.)
Church - observe how the Haitians love the Lord. The singing will melt

1985

Dear Friends,

",1 have chosen you, and ordained you that you should
go and bring forth fruit, that whatsoever you shall
ask He may give it to you." John 15:16

Truly we have realized the bearing of fruit in our summer program,

Christianville is reaching out in various places with the Gospel. A
new exciting work has been started at Ti Cousin in answer to a plea

fromthe people there for us to come. Wayne and Chris are leading
in this. Christianville church members have been travelling by foot
to work with a group in the mountains while Jerome, our Bible College
student held a week of meetings in a new church in Gressier just two
miles from us. Salnave Desarraes started the work and we are assisting*
In July Lifeline Christian Mission held another great Bible Seminar
here at Christianville.

We like the promise in our opening verse:."that whatsoever you shall

ask, He may give it." We have brought forth preciaus fruit and now we
can rest in His promise. We are on the second step toward our new
school building. First we drilled a new well and now we have con
tracted for the necessary water tank for storage and gravity flow. Be
fore the end of the year we should be ready to begin the first class
room unit.

And none too soon, either.

Our older children are fearful about their

future for they realize with the little ones pushing up, there is no
room for their higher classes. Our answer to them is to have faith and
trust that God will meet every need.

Thank you for your loving care. The summer is rich in activity with
agriculture, band and sewing classes, daily chapel times with some VBS,
and summer school for the slower learners.

Also, a new effort has been

launched - a 4 H group for Christianville,

This should be an exciting

and wonderful opportunity for our kids.

V/e are your servants - thank you for putting the tools into our hands.
And do remember us in your prayers. Our special thanks go to the
churches who have sent their members on our CIY and other work teams

this summer.

We are grateful for the labors of all.

Hay the Lord watch over you and bless you.

Yours in Christian love,

Dear Friends,

It's been a wonderful day, I'd say, its been a wonderful day. Remember
that chorus?...Jesus has come and my cup's over run... Well, it truly has
been a great day to arrive back home in Haiti after a quick trip to the
Missionary Convention, our first one, and to spend a week with First
Christian Church at Boca Raton.

COME AND DINE

Recently we read these words, "I wonder at times if we cannot avert a lot of the
violence in our midst by listening to and motivating ourselves to appease the cry
of the poor." Truly this is food for thought. Empty tummies ache. Hungry people
cannot understand the meaning of love. Hurting hearts need to be mended by
human compassion before they are able to understand a loving God. We believe
this and so at Christianville we are providing basic meals for over 900 children...
God's little ones. We tenderly reach out to touch these hearts and to help heal the
hurt. And the leaven is working.

With the assistance of surplus grains, milk, beans and oil gifts from caring peo
ple of the U.S. and Canada, added to our part of providing meat, vegetables and
eggs, our children are getting a well rounded diet. Parents are feeling and
understanding now the meaning of our being here... and the meaning of our
message as we bring to them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Lives are being chang
ed.

Our children are reaching toward adulthood and in this process are learning
character building lessons that will stay with them and help them to be true to
their faith and to themselves as well. We want to believe that in our little corner of

God's great world we can help avert the violence that comes from the anger and
frustatlon of hurting people.
Come and dine.

This is the call when the school lunch bell rings. But it is also the call of the

Gospel. The table of the Lord is spread with lovely things that bring life and joy
and peace. Yes, and courage, too. It dispels the darkness of sin and superstition,

of violence and hatred, of selfishness and greed.

Life Is

beautiful inside our school.

But outside are still hundreds of little

children...gaunt eyes, sunken cheeks, still waiting for the hope of a larger school
to be realized. We are on the way - hurrying to accomplish our goal and we believe
God will provide.

Believe with us! Share the longings of our hearts to really bring about a substan
tial change. Share the burden and heat of the day with us. Share and care with us
as we build.

NEW CHURCH
EVANGELISM
Jerome Prinston is a Junior student at

Johnson Bible College In Knoxville, Tenn.

and a "Timothy" of Jim and Carol Herget
and Sam Streu. This promising young man
dedicated his life to the ministry of the
Gospel making It priority over his musical
talents. He plays cello professionally and
has taken considerable work in music at the

University of Tenn. This past summer

Jerome spent his holidays from school
working at Christianville. He did an ex

cellent three months' work always making

himself available for counseling young peo
ple and preaching. In this picture Jerome
was holding a week of meetings at a new
t

church in Gressier about three miles from

A few months prior to this Wayne and Chris

began working with a group of people who
came to us seeking Spiritual help for their
district some twelve miles away. It was a
heart-warming call and we are thankful that
Wayne and Chris have responded.

PROGRESS
Growth has been very noticeable on several fronts at Christianville this past three
months. The new school kitchen is almost completed, the water tank for the new

school is completed, and the foundations for the new Dental Clinic are being laid.
But growth is not confined to buildings. Down in the pig house things have been
happening...and now there are over 70 baby pigs. The program is off to a good
start and the farmers are delighted to be included. We are also raising some of the
castrates for the school kitchen.

Christianville School has made progress, too. A new class of Kindergarten kids
has been enrolled and we are also starting an evening class for early teenagers
who have not as yet had the privilege of going to school. We are looking for spon
sors for these children because we would like to provide the same for them as for
our other children. Hopefully we will be starting our first school unit by January
and we are trusting the Lord to provide.
The heartbeat of each little child is individually important to the Heavenly Father.
He has sent us here to care for them, to love them and to lift them from their

hopelessness. With your help we are making great strides and the total picture is
encouraging. Let's keep holding the life-line!

THE CLINIC MARCHES ON

Things are buzzin' around the clinic these days. One roof just cannot continue to
cover our dental and medical activities. We knew a year ago that something had to
be done and now the Lord is providing. F.A.M.E., that dedicated organization for

medical evangelism has given us the basic funds for a new dental clinic building.
Our orthodontist Dr. David Leever backed it with another generous gift, and Dr.

Virgil Uliom and his Dental Outreach are gathering equipment. Foundations are
already dug and by the time this reaches you, the building should be nearly com
pleted.

This will be a great blessing to Sandy in the medical building. That angelic little
nurse who has been doing a magnificent job will be most happy to spread her
wings over two extra rooms.

The outreach continues to be deeply meaningful to thousands of needy people.

Now over 35,000 people are registered. And with a dedicated staff such as we

have, the people are understanding our whole purpose for being here.The love of
-

Jesus really shines through. We

are thankful for the many visiting
Doctors and Dentists who have

come to help and for the gifts of

medications and funds to keep the

clinics operating. Our

children

find comfort and security in hav

ing medical care so close - oh, how

many times we have led crying
children to Sandy with pains in the

tummy, ear aches and various

fevers. Truly it is a haven in a
storm to children as well as to

adults. Thank you for caring - for

giving to help others in their need.

There's Leonard Beattie repairing the electrical line to the water pump. And that
fixed a big problem. Work teams in fact, fix a lot of our problems here at Christianvile. We find our North American team workers hard-working, dedicated and very
capable. Leonard welded ali twenty of the pig-cribs and just in time, too, for the
mother pigs to farrow. It was a close call. And while he was in the pig house others
were painting, sewing, and doing dozens of jobs. Betty Gray from Tampa was the
leader that week - a great week it was.

Have you heard about C.I.Y.? (Christ In Youth) This Is a new overseas group that
sends out youth to mission fields. And this was their first year. They did a great
job...hard working kids, eager to please. Kalas and Cindy Alexander were team
leaders. (Kalas in center front.) We hope C.I.Y. will come back next summer and
share the workload again.

to feed their babies correctly. They hear a message from God's Word, too. Our
darling Kindergarten kids have gone home by this hour, so you can't see ihem

But what is that we hear? The school band is practicing...let's hurry to the church

and listen. We knew you would like it. But did you hear that complaint they made?
They want violins so they can have a real orchestra! Let's tell all of our friends
about it and maybe they will know where we could find those violins.
Let's go on through the big gate now see the cows! Yes, they look very fat and
healthy. But let's go on down to the pond and watch Uncle Sam fish. He takes that
basket with the long handle on it and stays quiet around the area where the fish
like to hide.

There he is now...watch how dark the water gets with fish when the feed washes

down those pipesl In a minute you will see him dash that big iron basket into the
water. There it goes, and up comes the basket with a catch. There are thousands

of fish in this pond and

almost every day Sam

catches a big pan full for

the

school

childrens'

breakfast. They eat fish

in a sauce over thei/ cornmeal

porridge.

There

are two kinds of fish in

the pond..Talapia and

Carp, Some of the Carp
weigh 3 pounds and they
taste delicious.

Come, let's look over here at the baby pigs. There are dozens of them..ten big fat
mothers, each one in her own farrowing crib with babies all around her getting
their milk. In fact, we counted 78 pigs one day last week. As the babies get big

enough they are given to the poor farmers to raise and that makes the farmers
very happy.

Hey kids, turn around and look over there...see those lovely chickens! Yes, there
are about 600 of them. (And if you will look at the picture on the first page you will
see eggs on the plates of the childrens' dinner.)
Now let us walk back to the chapel where the children are singing. It is lovely to
hear them. In their prayers they thank God for good and loving care. And in our
prayers, we thank God for you and for the good help you are giving our children.
Come now the sun has been very hot. We will go up to the mission house for a
cool drink and we will tell you some stories about our children.
