Please send along with this form copies of recommendations from churches which will encourage
other churches to support your missionary work. There are churches which will not allow a
visiting missionary to speak unless a church recommendation can be shown. Since it is impos
sible for any one person to know all Christians in the world, this recommendation by a respon
sible New Testament church is a vital help in persuading others of your worthiness and the value
of your mission. Mission Services stands ready to help you inform HORIZONS readers about
your church recommendations. Since the church is sending you to the mission field (Acts 13:1-3)
and will help provide the necessary needs on the field, naturally the church should share the
credit in your missionary ministry. One of the ways that the church can do this is to share their
conviction regarding your missionary ministry with others. Certainly, their words will help
convince others regarding the worthiness of your work. Please help MISSION SERVICES to

spread your news through HORIZONS, Packets and Slide library by sending your church recom
mendations as soon as possible. Thanks. Send what you have now, and the others later.

others into fulltime service (Use an extra sheet if you need more space):
I think it impossible for me to list all the things that have in
fluenced us to enter the mission field, for I feel that many have helped
in the planting and the watering of the idea, along with the Lord
continually tugging at our hearts.
We feel we have been blessed richly with three fine children, a
nice home and a secure occupation, but along with these blessings we

felt that God required more of us and we were too busy to do more for Him.
Our home from childhood to the present was always open to any

visiting minister, evangelist, missionary or Christian worker and in

this way we became acquainted with Dr. Dennis Pruett and the work in

Rhodesia, Africa
Upon his invitation we deceided to sell the veterinary practice

and our home and go to Winston-Salem, N, C. to study for a year at the

DR. OWEN DUNLAP

AND FAMILY
Recruits to

Rhodesia

ABOUT THE DUNLAPS: Owen is the oldest of four children of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dunlap. He lived on a farm
as a child and accepted Christ as his Savior at his home church in Greensfork, Indiana. His love of animals caused
him to decide very early that he wanted to become a veterinarian. While attending Ohio State University, he not only
learned his profession, but, deepened his spiritual faith by worshipping at Indianola Church of Christ in Columbus,
Ohio during the ministry of W.R. Walker. It was during these college years that he met Mary Jo Evans of Columbus
and they were married in the Indianola Church on Novemoer 12, 1944 soon after graduation.
They moved to their first home in Fountain City, Indiana where they worked together to build a veterinary
practice and became active in the Fountain City Church. Four and one half years later, when their first child, David,
was two and one half years old, they moved six miles north to the town of Lynn, Indiana. Owen became the teacher
of the high school class and elder in the Lynn Church. Mary Jo also taught Bible School and became active in the
music department. It was at Lynn that Charma Jo and Brenda Jean were born and nurtured in the love of God during
the ministries of Sherrieil Storey (now at Perry Rd. Church, Canton, Ohio) and Marshall Leggett (now at Broadway
Church, Lexington, Kentucky).

While at Lynn, Owen was privileged to help organize a new married peoples class which he taught for
several years. Through such experiences as these, our family has been challenged to do more for our Lord.
The Dunlap home has been always open to traveling ministers and missionaries and it was in this way we
first met Dr. Dennis Pruett. In the spring of 1966, it was he who showed us the vision that we were needed to serve
Christ in Rhodesia, Africa.

WHAT WE WILL BE DOING:

Having sold our home and veterinary practice. Dr. Dunlap is now training at the Forsyth Memorial Hospital
in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He is preparing himself to be able to assist Dr. Pruett and the medical team at the

Mashoko Hospital in the field of X-ray, anesthesia, and laboratory diagnosis.

WHAT WE NEED:

First, we need Christians with a vision like ours, who want to sharei in this mission with us. Then it will

be necessary to raise a monthly budget of |1,000. Of this amount,|450 will be for our "living-link"(personal ex
penses or wages) and the remaining $550 for "service-link" (mission expenses such as building, traveling, and med

ical supplies). These figures have been set up by the missionaries on the field and are only a bore minimum. But
most of all, we need your prayers and the encouragement of loved ones back home.
