Field Report
Outreach International workers are in
Week holiday visit to Mainland China with exciting news! Going in with Wing Wong and
students from the Chinese Christian Seminary from Hong Kong, the girls were able to
distribute Bibles in the local language and were able to meet for the first time with 70 Chinese
people in the village where friends are located in a work project. Seventy peopie came to the
small home meeting and crowded in to hear the Gospelior the first time! This is what we had
prayed for and the Lord has poured out His answer. Many came to Christ and the others
wanted more teaching and have invited the team back again to continue sharing this
message of Hope and Salvation. We thank you all for your prayers and financial help.
Please contact us for more detailed information on this project. We work with Hong Kong
Christian Mission.
East Africa
"Two people there now; more to follow soon, Lord willing (James 4:15)!"
Phil and Pat York report that they will be allowed to begin a vocational training school
near the Kitale, Kenya, area. This will give them evangelistic opportunities with many village
people who are yet to hear the Gospel. Praise the Lord for this! Their address is Box 900.
Kitale, Kenya.
We hear that the government of Uganda is stabilizing again and workers can return
there. We are expecting our team of recruits for the summer to enter Uganda, Pat Allen and
Jacques Blackwell, will go in early June. Lord willing, and our recruits for summer training
(six volunteers from the states) will join them around the 12th of June for 60 days of
evangelism in schools and villages in Kenya and Uganda. I plan to go on this internship,
also, to investigate registration possibilities again in Kenya and check on work in Uganda.
Financial support for this trip is needed now! Please use our Tennessee address.
South Africa
"Two workers & two more on the way!"

Stateside Recruitment
Since we have been in the states, two couples have reached the foreign field and one
single worker is in Jamaica. Mike Riddle and the Deruy's are also raising support for
long-term work and several people are planning to be with us for the summer internship.
Mike Riddle is joining the Outreach International team for the '86 summer internship in
Kenya and for further work during the following year. Youth ministry has become a very
important part of the ministry in East Africa, and Mike can make a valuable contribution to our
effort in this area. If you would like to help him with support (about $1500 air fare and $500
per month support), please contact him at the following address: Mike Riddle, P. O. Box
13116, Knoxville, TN 37920. He would be happy to come and speak to your church.
Bob and Maxine Deruy are presently finishing their discipleship program in Limestone,
Tennessee, and are hoping to leave for Maiani, Kenya, in May, when their son, Joey, is out of
school. Their air fare and most of the money for their automobile has been raised, but they
are still short of their goal of $800 monthly support. Their position as teachers in the Maiani
secondary school is confirmed and the doors are open to their work of evangelism and
teaching the Christians already there. They will be entering a five year contract with the
school system, giving them time to build relationships with the students and people of the
Maiani community. If you can help with their support, or if you want to know more about their
work, please contact them at this address: Bob & Maxine Deruy, Rt. 1, Box 45, Limestone, TN
37681. They will be available to speak to you or your congregation until their departure date.

for the summer internship this year. The work continues in Jamaica under the direction of the
local Christians. Jacques BlackwellwWl join Pat Allen in East Africa for the summer, also.
start a lot of fire in China. At the meantime, you may seek out for Christian business men who might be working in
China in the near future. May God bless you as you are willing to serve Him as He leads.
Pray for us and for those who work with us in the cause of Christ!

Dear Joy,
issue of Horizons.
Annette and I are praying for a sponsoring
church to send us back overseas. Lord willing, we would like you
to announce that we are ready in Jan. 87, Lord wil-ing we live, to
return to the mission field, but need a sending church for our
living link. We (as you know) have a lot of experience in recruiting
and in establishing new mission work, so please help us in this
news item also.. The kids all have their sponsorship except Jonathan
is still waiting for some more living link support. We do appreciate
your work there, and our address here in the states is the Tenn. address
above.
We are available to speak about the mission work in East Africa
