A letter

from

Bert Ellis in

Pusan,

Korea said

(in part)

I personally believ e

that

this

is one of the g reatest

opportunities

I

have seen in more than 20 years in

the ministry.

He said: » W e

are

now

engaged

in

radio

programming,

teaching Bible

classes,

cottespondence Bible

study,

trying

to

establish

a church,

getting

materials ready

for

publication. There

are

other opportunities w e

would

like

to

take advantage

of

if - j e h a d the

time

and energy. Each of these activities

could

be

developed
