JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH BECKY IMPROVES We want to thank each of you

who have so generously offered

both your prayers and financial aid for the doctor and hospital bills of Becky when she had

Polio. Perhaps some of you didn't know she had Polio, but
on Thanksgiving Day last year
she was in the hospital, and the doctors diagnosed her ill-

ness as Polio. Since then many

prayers have been offered in her behalf by friends who have been very close to us, and other Christians we have never met. She has been gaining strength in her arm (the limb that was paralized) every day and she can "

\ _ ^

move it fairly well, but still

L.^

cannot raise her arm from the

sho'older. The therapist, how

BECKY

ever, are fairly confident that she is gaining strength and in time she will have full use of her arm. We pray for this, "but nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done". Marian gives Becky massages and exercises every evening at

bed time.

She goes everyday to the Treatment Center where she

receives heat lamp treatments or whirl-pool baths and exercises.

She plays everyday and you couldn't miss her if you saw her run ning up the street with her big smile, blue eyes and long blond
hair.

At least one full year of treatments will be needed yet. We ask you to continue your prayers for Becky as you have done in the past. We know all things are possible with God. May God bless each of you as you have seen fit to help in these days of trial.

WANTED We are looking for any information leading to the whereabouts of

members of the Christian Church or Church of Christ in the City of El Paso. If you have any information of such persons contact us immediately so that they may be apprehended and brought to this local congregation. Nlany such persons have lost their way because they did not know there was an independant church in El Paso.

Any persons leading us to such information concerning these

Christians will be rewarded, knowing they have helped capture their interest and desire in serving their Lord in El Paso,

MEET US AT THE KIAMICHI CLINIC

pAvEnJx

The Lord Willing, Ernie and Gene will be at the Kiamichi Clinic

in May.

They are looking forward to this tinie of great fellowship.

It will also give you men an opportunity to talk to them about the work in Mexico, and how much the printing is necessary in the
advancement of Christ in Mexico.

Look for the two pictured above -- you can't miss them!

They

will want to see you so don't hesitate to come up to them and intro duce yourselves. If you already know them renew old acquaintances,

GILMERS LEAVE FIELD

Last August Ralph and Mary announced to us they were leaving this work in order to devote time to the printing of flash cards and other visual aids. Since that time they have become associated with Southern Christian College.

MOVE

It has been known by us for some time that the property upon which
the small church in Juarez is located was on unsettled land so it was

no shock to us when we found that we would have to move our building.

It is a small wooden building and we have located ground very close, so services will go on with only the work and expense involved in moving. Pray for the growth and certainty of this work.

the wonderful furniture we have in our buildings. The zeal and enthusiasm that the children and adults show when they come to services in Juarez where they sit on wooden benches in a room where you can look outside through the cracks in the wall, shoxild put us to

shame when we sit in comfortable pews, in a warm building and seem so indifferent to the saving of so*jIs. It has been such an inspiration to me to be close to the mission work and see how eager the Spanish
speaking people are to learn of our Saviour. I think it is the desire of

every forwarding agent vo go to their own missionary field to experi ence first hand the joys and the heartaches that go along with the
work. My desire now is to be able to visit the work down in the

Chihuahua area which is about 230 miles south, I had hoped to be able to go down there when I came back to El Paso in March, but instead I've been privileged to be able to help a little bit in the print shop where Spanish Bible Study courses are being prepared, and also other printing both in Spanish and English. I feel, that in helping in
and observing the work, I will be much ^nore able to present the work

of printing and the Evangelism of Spanish Speaking People, whenever I am called upon to talk to some of you concerning the Missionary
work and the missionary families. God Bless you all and remember
Your Friend in Christ,

"Christian Evangelism in Mexico" in your prayers.

rest of my family.

PRINTING
Months may come and months may go, but always there is work to be done here at 7541 Taxco Drive. A letter arrived a few days ago
from Hazel Rathbern in which she said, "I sure could use that Chr
istian workers booklet. ' Another arrived from Herbert Watkins

saying, "Several are asking for the Correspondence Course and I can only tell them I'll mail it as soon as it can be printed. " Still another arrived today from Jerry Watkinson in which he says, "Can you send us a few samples of the D. V. B. S. course?"

These and many others like them coxiie daily and we are doing
our best, but there is so much more to be done. The Correspondence course mentioned is now finished, and we are deep in the work of printing the Anniial for Colegio Biblico. After that comes the Work ers booklet mentioned by Mrs. Rathbern. Then we will have quite a lot of work to do on the DVBS Courses. We will not print a new
course this year, but will spend our efforts on one of the earlier courses making it better and more complete. As soon as that can be gotten out of the way we will then be able to finish one of the books written by Paul Rathbern before his death. We have most of

the work done on one book, but it does take time to get it out. You have, helped by sending to the MEMORIAL BOOK FUND. Enough
material has been bought for about one half of the first book. Do keep this fund need before you that we may be able to finish the

three books that were translated at so great a price, by Paul, in his~laBt and abidingeffort to win soTils for Christ among the Spanish"
speaking people.

"little" crowded! The teachers included, besides Mission personnel, Mrs. Henry Friend and Mrs. Larry Blais. We were very grateful for their help.

On July 30, we began our VBS in Juarez.

Miss Teresa Cere-

ceres, our very faithful Mexican helper, was an added teacher of this school. This was two week^ of VBS combined into one, with

two lessons each day. The average attendance was 30. On August 14, Marian, Kathy, 1 eresa, and the two summer workers traveled by bus to Chihxiahua to assist the Freeman Bumps
with the one-week school there. About 65-70 children attended each

day. In spite of a flu bug, we had an enjoyable trip and" a very good VBS. On the last day, there was a pinata for all the children. It is our prayer that through these schools the boys and girls were taught the way of the Lord more perfectly, and that seeds of
Gospel truth which were sown in their hearts will bear fruit.

ClUDAD JUAREZ CHURCH

'i I'l

BUILDING GROWS

Some of you have visited us here on the Mexican border and have gone with us to services at the little Chapel in Juarez. It has always been a thrill to have you visit, and you inspire us to try to do more. The Chapel has always been too small, and in need of more work to make it more suitable. You will be happy to know that just now, in September, we have moved the small wooden structure and made way for a larger more adequate room. We

have built of adobe for warmth, and roofed with rool roofing.

When

finished the back room will be our auditorium and will have a front

entrance along side the frame structure. The frame structure, smaller, will be in front and will be used for a small class group. The interest is keen, and even attei. lance seems to have picked up since we started building. The people themselves have saved their

offerings for some time toward this goal and their money added to money you have sent will make this an adequate and worshipful little church. The plastering is being started this week, even if we still lack some of the roof. You might be interested to know that our plaster will consist of a thick coating of sand and mud mixture,

then topped with 1/8 inch of special cement-like plaster. This may
seem crude to you, but we think it fine and it is a good way to finish a room here. Total cost of the room will not likely go over $125. 00

We will not be able to do all the finishing soon, but it will give us the
so badly needed rooin. Pray for us a.s we progress in Cuidad Juarez. "Mexico* s city of sin."

We pray God's blessings on Ernie as he labors to study and learn more of God's Way at School, but we are anxious for him to return. You may write to him at the mission address. Con
tributions should be made to the mission and marked for him.

PRINT SHOP
It seems we are never caught up here. Just when I think we are getting along well we have at least half a dozen wanting some thing else. The added load placed on Genes shoulders with Ernest leaving for one year of school makes it really seem to drag. They spent every free minute before Ernie left doing as much correcting of translated copy as possible. There are two books ready to go to press now along with various smaller items which all of the mission aries have requested. The printing has taken more and more of our time, and when we think maybe we should let down a little, floods of letters begin coming in from all the Mexican workers. Even though we may not be the STANDARD PUBLISHING CO. of Mexico we are making every effort to have available, at cost, as much material as possible to help in the winning of the Spanish speaking world. One thing we know we are the only ones doing any amount of true to the Bible printing in Spanish. Pray for this
work.
