Dear Co-laborer,
People like you
inspire,
encou rage and invigorate those whom you sustain
through
prayer
and
living
giving*
As we have told
you before,
you are
a
very special
people in
God 's sight*
We are
confid ent that the evangelization of
Japan
is most significant in
spreading
the
Gospel to
all
the world*
Happiness
is being a part of
God's
eternal plan*
Mr* Voshino (Goodfield) wrote us recently,
'Every
day
my
life is very fine in
Christ*
And day by day my
prayers
are
being
answered and my
faith
grows
stronger.
So
I
am very thankfu l
to our Lord
and
to my teacher, l * l r . Pratt*' This young
man
is a
senior in the university* We
find
the college
campus
ministry very rewarding, and
we
pass this
word
of thanks
on
to you
who
make it
possible
for us to
be
there to lead these
youth to know Christ*
We are
often asked, Are
you accepted
in
that
country?
What
do
they think
about
your
going there to teach Christianity?
'I
think
that
you
are an ambassador
from the
Kingdom of Heaven to this world,'
wrote a
former
neighbor
and
pen friend, Yug o Wori* 'And
I
think also you
are a
modern
John who wears
a
nice suit and drives a very nice car instead of
wearing raiment
of
camel's hair and eating locu sts and wild
honey*
I am missing you often and
wish
to see
your pleasant
and happy
face
and
hear your cheerful
speech.
You may
wish
to stay in
your
own country
as
long
as
you can,
but I wish
you would
coma
back to this cou ntry,
and the sooner the
better*'
Hideto Yoshii, the college stu dent who
lived with
us for almost two
years,
wrote,
'Well, it
is
getting near June
of
this year*
When
are
you
coming
back
to
your
second
home, Japan? To
all
of you who
ask
this same question
we
reply, We lan to
return
in
September, sooner or later, the Lord willing*
The
Lord has
provided
all our needs in the
past*
Sometimes He has
provided
not a
dollar
more, and sometimes the
day before*
We
have no reason tc doubt that
He
will
supply
this
need at this time, also*
We
pray these words
that
Solomon wrote, recorded in
Proverbs 30:8,9* 'Remove far
from me vanity
and
lies: give me neither poverty nor
riches;
feed
me
with food
convenient
for me: Lest
I be
full,
and deny
thee,
and
say.
Who
is
the
Lord? or
lest
I be
poor,
and
steal,
and take the name
of
my
God
in
vain.
Pray with
us about the
ADvangelism, evangelism
and
college
campus
ministry
in this
strategic field that is wide open to
the gospel*
f r i a r y
Joyce is looking forward to our return to Japan and
her junior
and senior
years
at Christian
Academy* Lydia, well acquainted at C*B,S*, is makirg
plans
now
f or
dorm life
here beginning
in
the fall* Singing groups
and the basketball
team make life
interesting
for Wark
here at
the
Seminary*
Thank s to those churches
that
have continued
help
toward
his schooling and books* Paul, at Purdue is in line for pilot training with
the Air
Force*
As
for the
two of us,
we're
storing
u p
the
things learned this year
in
preparation
for
our new term of
service.
A
hearty
vote
of thanks
to all of you faithful
from
all of
us* God is
able to
provide you with
every
blessing in
abundance,.**'
