^une 6 departure ^ate SetThe departure date for their return to the Rhodesia Mission Field has been

set for the 6th of June, 1968, by the Thomas Courtney family.The High School Commencement

Services for Michael will be held on

June 5, at 8:00 p.m. The Courtneyswill leave from Portland International

Airport on the following day at 12:45p.m. They are scheduled to arrivein Bulawayo, Rhodesia on Mondayevening, June 10.

The accumulation of medicines,

clothing, and mission equipment wasshipped from Portland on the 21st ofMarch and should be in Rhodesia

when the Courtneys arrive. Cost ofthe 143 cubic foot shipment was$293.92.

The majority of the funds, sent induring the past year, have been allowed to accrue in order to purchasethe major equipment yet needed forthe next term of service.

A four-wheel drive vehicle, to be

purchased in Rhodesia to save freightand customs cost, will be approxi

mately $4,500. The possibility ofused equipment was carefully explored and deemed a poor expenditureof funds because of their unreliabil

ity and parts-repair problems. Because a nurse is scheduled to soon

join our mission team, $4,500 hasbeen designated as the needed amountto construct a residence for her. A

small clinic building, costing ap

proximately $2,500, must also bebuilt. Substantial cost for clinic

equipment has already been expended.

Although funds have been designatedfor the air-ambulance engine over

haul, or replacement, nearly $7,000is still needed for this project.

The equipment savings accountbalance would not have been possible

had it not been for the generosity ofChristian individuals in the Portland

area who have furnished us with a

house (average rental $165.00 permonth), full furnishings, and household needs.

What Can

Or Do ?

We Send

This is a question that is askedeverywhere we go. As long as cus

tom duties remain high, cost of thearticles by time of arrival have act

ually trippled in cost, (i. e. youroriginal cost, cost of postage, duty).

Special gift money may be sent to

our forwarding agents, Mr. and Mrs.

Merle Schroeder.

However, there are two things youcan do. Your constant prayers are

needed. We survive from day to dayon the power of prayer. The other is

letter writing. Many of you have

promised to write to us. Mail day is

a time of happiness, or loneliness.A letter from you would mean so very

much to us all.

I

For those faced with the responsibility of directing fundsto missionaries, the task is never an easy one. The appealsto every local congregation are many; the resources - neverenough. How should a decision be made and by what criteria? How can a congregation be assured that their fundsare being invested in the most effective way for world evangelism?

Regretfully there are no easy answers. I have heard itsuggested that a congregation can be sure by sending their

funds through a particular mission organization or agency. Unfortunately,the incidence of personal failure seems to be equally distributed in everymission approach. For this reason, one, of necessity, must examine withcare the individual making the-request. Happily, most mature congregations no longer are predicating their response on the "hungry look" in thecandidate's eyes, but rather on their confidence in his evangelistic ability.

Consequently, there is no small value in determining the candidate'sPAST PERFORMANCE. Every congregation has a right to ask what this manor woman has done in prior years to bring people to a saving knowledge ofJesus Christ. One can best determine what his future work pattern will beby looking at his past work pattern. If, for example, he has been a personwho spends the majority of his time hunting or fishing, etc., there is littleto promise that his future performance will differ from his past. Unfortunately, if this approach were closely adhered to it would eliminate somecandidates just out of school. Yet, it might not be unreasonable to seewhat an evangelist could do on his own (an associate ministry does notplace a person wholly on their own) in a friendly climate before beginningwork.in_-more_isoJa±e-ajid-dif-ficuk areas-of-the world. The past performancewill always serve as a worthy measuring device.

Secondly, today's congregation ought to give some thought to the candidate's PRESENT SKILLS. Has he gained professional recognition in the areain which he goes to work? Obviously, the evangelist can be the most effective with a Bible College education; the publisher with publishing experience; the pilot with professional ratings; and the medical personnel withdegrees in their field. A persons present skills are a determining factor.

I think if I were in a position of choosing missionary candidates, againI would want to ask every candidate his PLANS FOR THE INDIGENOUSCHURCH. I would recognize that the candidate would undoubtedly changethem whenever he arrived on his intended field of service. As he became

more familiar with the culture of his new home, he would devise new innovations to establish the church. But I would be comforted in my stewardship responsibilities to know that he had given serious and intelligentthought as to just how the church would be established as the direct resultof his intended labors.

It is never an easy task in sending out an evangelist but some guidelinesfor the eldership or missionary committee will certainly make them moreeffective stewards of God.

Report from the Thomas Courtney family, missionaries,Nuanetsi, Rhodesia, Africa December, 1968

i Qteat Sack /By the time this newsletter reaches your home, we will have completed the

first 180 days of our second term of service in the Nuanetsi. I think it hasbeen the busiest six months we have had on the mission field. Yet, withouthesitation, we all say how good it is to be back home.

Our daily diary indicates that Juneand July were mechanical months.

We were busy with truck repairs on

the Dodge and various engines, andFran engaged in painting the interiorof her house, in addition to treatingas many as 85 patients a week, conducting three sewing classes, and asmany as four Sunday Schools. Alsoduring this time we were engaged invisiting the congregations and answering questions they had been saving for so long.

August, September, and Octoberfound us hurrying to get the guesthouse and office finished. RobynKarstens arrived to find us behind

schedule as usual. She was a help

though, whenever she could be, inoffice work, painting, and dozens ofmiscellaneous tasks. Pamela started

on her eleventh grade high schoolwork almost as soon as we returned

and has been keeping up with theschedule that teacher Fran has im

posed.

Before the office was finished, we

started work on the clinic. First, on

the little round native type houses

for the out-patients to stay in andthen on the main clinic building. Itseems as if the workers are always

waiting for either Mike or myself tobring them a load of blocks, a loadof sand, or to pump water for the

building needs. Additionally, thereis the actual building chores that takeso much time.

With the coming of November, therains also came. The rains that are

always so welcome in this parchedland and yet play such havoc withsurface transportation. Early in themonth we had Peter and Marilyn

Nathan down for a preaching mission

at the various congregations. Theywere wonderful meetings but we hadto cancel a portion of them when wewere hit with torrential rains. Of

course with the rains the rivers that

are usually dry sand beds come to

life and sometimes show their worst

side. Early this morning, for exam

ple, Mike felt we should move thepump and pipeline from the other sideof the Nuanetsi before it began to

flow. We started across the river

bed in the Land Rover, but the mudwas too slick, so we retrived it witha long,cable from the truck. We nextdecided to dismantle the pump andcarry it back piece by piece. RobynKarstens had asked to go along andas the three of us were dismantling

the pump our workers began to shoutand point up the river. With the devastating force of a giant throwinglogs before it like match sticks, the

(continued on page 2, column 2)

In a recent publi-

cation that reached

there was anarticle

f I entitled "Say No To

I reflected upon the value of thearticle both as a parent and as amissionary. For, in both cases, Ihave a certain relationship withchildren. My native "children"may run in age from toddlers tosenility, but children they are inmany respects. Few of them havegrown past the stage of concern forthemselves. "Give me" is still a

favorite phrase.

Now, the same temptations to"never say no" plague us in ourmission relationship, just as theydo with parent and child. All of uswant our "children" to like us and

the fear-of-re-iection is-alwavs pres-

ent. Consequently, some of ourmissionaries, with every good intent in mind, may well make someof our African children emotional

cripples for life by giving toomuch. And just as our children inour family relationship know besthow to bring pressure to bear, sodo our "native children." The mild

threat of, "I'll go to the Catholicsor Methodist," or "I'll keep mychildren home from school," aretools used with practice and perfection. Do you dare say "No" toyour children? Obviously thechoice is never an easy one. Buttimes there are a plenty when,even in the face of promised difficulties, you dare not say yes.

"It's Great To Be Back" continued:

wall of water came down. I called

for Mike to get Robyn across to theother side while I remained behind to

get the pump to higher ground. Boththey and the workers made it to thecenter island, but in a matter of moments the water was rushing down 25feet deep. They decided to staywhere they were. Not a bad placefor a picnic anyway. Although wewere less than a mile from the mis

sion, the road around to the nearestbridge was approximately 100 mileswhich made the quarter mile swim

across the torrents seem to be the

better choice. Besides, Mike andRobyn had forgotten the weiners fortheir picnic.

I walked up river to allow for thedrift down the current and started to

swim across. The water was so swift

that, as I was swept by, some of thegreat boulders appeared to be movingupstream at freight train speed. Ipaused for a. moment in the lee of a

_great_rock and then made it on to theisland. When I climbed, exhausted,from the water, I noted they hadn'teven started a fire for the weiners.

(No matches.) The swim across thenext channel was not as difficult.

Mike joined me on this tour andRobyn was left behind to tend thefire she had not started as yet. A

quick trip to the mission, a returnswim by Mike to the island and theworkers, along with Robyn, werebrought back to the mainland in oneof Mike's "submarine breeches-

bouys."All hands accounted for, no equip

ment lost, and Fran had a wonderfullunch waiting, right on time.

During the first five and a halfmonths we have had 67 guests at themission. They have come from suchplaces as the United States, Britain,South Africa and the South Seas. As

c4dulii Only.Robyn Karstens

As you look at books at local newspaper stands, or relax in front of thefire with your newspaper opened tothe movie section, you will findmany of the books and movies labeled"Adults Only." I suppose that insome cases, at least, this is just acall for added publicity. However,after only three months here at theNuanetsi Mission, I have found theneed for just such a sign bearingthese same words, "Adults Only,"over the entrance to the mission.

Here, however, they would have adifferent connotation. My brief ex

periences have alreadygivenme manyopportunities to examine my own ma

turity. I have come to realize thatthe mission field is not a playgroundfor immature youngsters.

Because of the daily strain or difficulty in maintaining the basic needsof life, the raw unforgiving ways ofnature, I have seen where=oae careless or foolish act may well endangerthe life of others as well as my own.

Just living has never been quite asserious to me. I can see for the first

time that out here one needs to be an

adult who will fully accept respon

sibility. This inevitably leads to theuse of discipline. In America myconcept of discipline was to make adecision as to whether I should go to

the ball game or stay home and mowthe lawn; or whether I should go ski

ing or stay home and study for anexam? I have never given thought orconcern before about my water supply

or emei^ency rations, or the demanding need for preventive care of theautomobile. Always before, the government, my parents, or someone elsewould care for such matters. Now

they are as important as life itself.When I faced the prospect of spending the night on the little island inthe Nuanetsi River, I wished I hadexercised more discipline in learning

to really swim well. Once again.

what had been an occasional recrea

tion now could mean life or death.

Before this time, I had not realizedso fully how important my influencemay be on other people. The precedents I may set before the Africans

may influence the mission work here

for years to come. Once again, I findit a place for adults only. I am surethat the maturity that makes us adults

does not come with the chronology of

age alone, but rather with a full

awareness of one's environment and

a determination to grow up and livewisely in every given situation.

I hope that I shall never againshrug my shoulders and expect someone else to do my work or walk away

when there is still work to do. More

than ever before I am trying to be anadult. Immaturity can be a fataldisease in Africa.
