Dear Brethren

Again it is

our

privilege to make a report

of our

expenditures of

the funds which you have so generously Cohtrihuted for

the

work

of

our Lord i n

Italy*

A s

usual we are sending

you

an itemized

list of

the

receipts from

your own

state,

receipts

by states,

and disbursements. Should you desire a

list of the entire l ist of contributors, a

few

w i l l be available

upen

request*

We do

not send a complete l i st to each contributor

because of

the

expense

involved, and

knowing

that you

are usuall y

interested i n your own home state*

When the doors

were

open

in

Japan -

e didn*t

send

missionaries,

later we had to

fight

Japan l i t

We

neglect^

Russia

when,the-time-was

ripe — now that harvest

appears

beyond

reaping,

at

least

for

the

present#

We

fe e l that NOW

i s

the time when Ital y must be won

for

Christ,

if

EVER# We have

two new

reciuit families anxious to go to Italy as your

partners

in Christ for this

gigantic task. If

we do not

act now,

it

may

be

too late. With the situation os i t

i s in

Italy, we feel that we must work,

work

and WORK,

training

native evangelists and other Christian

workers,

so

that

if and

when the time should c ome that we foreigners'* are excluded

from

Italy,

our Christ

w i l l stil l

have

faithf ul laborers i n His

vineyard#

Are you w i l l i n g that

these

f a m i l i es

should go

as your representa

tives i n bringing the

gospel to

others in Italy?

A s the

church

at Antioch SENT out Paul and

Barnab as, so

Christ

must

depend

on you

to

send out these workers#

Mac and

Wilma

Coffey and Patti are

ready

and

anxious

to

go

to

Italy when Betheen Grubaugh returns in January. Approximately JSOOOo^

are needed

to

make this possible*

The Charles

Troyer

fa m i ly w i l l

be ready to

sail

i n

about si x

months. Eiis will take about

|2000o00*

The

Lord

has blessed the efforts in I taly thus far, B f o r e

workers

are

a MOST i f

we are

t o . accompli sh the task

that

is before us, in the time

that MAY

be

left to us*

Actions

o f

the C hurch

in

Rome

(Catholic) gi ves

us

good

basis f or

believing

that they

are

aware

of thei r losses, and that they

will

redouble

their

efforts

to keep Christ

from

the

common

people#

Wfll

we give up,

er

will

we

GO AHEAD

WITH

CHRIST?

Your c o n t i n u e d p r a y e r s
