become
a missionary? What is your purpose? What do you hope
to accomplish on t he mission field? Your own story in some
detail might

service
Us e an extra sheet if yo u need more space):
When;I yyas. asked Have you thought about the
possibl.li-ty
that God might want you in His
service? I was made conscious for the first time of a personal involvement in the preaching
of the gospel . The appeal of the Christian wqy of life had been my reason for continuing
sometimes
on
my
own
the search
for a
church home . ^hen
I
became aquainted with
the
friendly young people cff the Polo Road church I
found
ap la ce of some service not jnerely
attendance.
The smaller size of the group plus their desire to work for Christ.made
it
more probable that Each member would have G part. The activity in hte group made it
possible for me to become accustomed to working as an active member of the c hu rch .
Thus when I was asked to think about the possiblity of working for the Lord in a special
way 1 was
surprised
but
ready
to
do
so.
In working
the
neighborhood
of the
church ofr
^
short time I learned to like the work and to desire to do
more... .
therefor e I ne eded
training.
Describe
briefly
in
outline
form
th e
nature of y ou r d ai ly d ut ie s
on
th e field:
Teaching during the day; youth work when time permits
e,g.
weekends. Evangelism
during ibe weekends and especially on the Lord^^sday . There will be special times of
concentrated evagelism we hope.

Bro Max
Word
Randall was ministering to the church in Cape Town at the time
that I made up mind to seek training for the ministry Bro Randall suggested
that the schooling I needed could be received in the United States, and it was
arranged for me to attend the Cincinnati Bible Seminary.
On
looking
back it seems that first I
needed
a church home
where
I would
feel
at home, second that I needed to be put to work, and then to be approached
on the matter of the ministry.
Our purpose on
mission
field is first and foremost to bring Christ to the people.
This
in itself will be a life s work, and we hope that the church will be enlarged
and activitated, enough to be self-supporting and self-propagating. Rhodesia stands
in a unique position in Africa today.
In
the matter of race relations it has
made
some changes in political and legal matters. Most probably more will come, and
when they do the African Christian
must
be there to lead to peace harmony these
who live in that land. This will require
some
mature and practical response to hte
issues
of the day. As a citizen I hope that we can have
small
part in the eventual:
appearance of such leaders and teachers. The future happiness and work of the
chirch must of course depend
upon
the continued approval of the secular
powers
the future of the
missions
work depends upon this; and so does
my
own personal
happiness and security. Well-being is not our goal, but the proper and democratic
state will produce these results, which are so highly prized even here in the United
States Our work will be with the schools an d churches of th e frican
brethren
The schools will give us great opportunity to bring young people to Christ. We hope
also to encourage men to be trained for leadership as elders and evangelists. Besides
teaching we will be doing evangelism also (maybe that should be stated the other way
around). If there is any one particular thing I wish to accomplish it is to bring
men

to
a persona knowledge^nd to a u desire
to be obedient to Christ
to a complete
faith in him. It seems all to easy to end up owing allegiance to mere formality
or education or a person or self almost anything but Christ This Satan has
done to so many of us
from
time to time and to be enabled of God to introduce
someone to a deeply personal
commr.tment
to Christ alone would be the highest rather
is the highest ambition I could
ever
hove. Even one such success would be worth
a life time5 of work fo r hrist

Please send
a long with
this form copie s of recommendat ions from churches which will encourage
other churches to
support
your
missionary
work.
There
are churches which wil l no t al low a
visiting missionary
to
speak unless a church recommendat ion can be shown. Since
i t is impos
sible for any
one
per son to know
all
Christians
in t he world , this
recommendation
by a
respon
sible New Testament church is a vital help in persuading others of
your
worthiness and
th e
value
of your mission . Mission Services stands r eady 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
