VOLUME 2, No. 6 JUNE 1979
DEAR BRETHREN:
GREETINGS AND PEACE IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! MAY HAS COME AND GONE. MANY THINGS
HAPPENED THIS MONTH. THE MAJOR EVENT WAS THE WALLACES HAVING TO RETURN TO THE
STATES. SARA HAS BEEN HAVING MEDICAL PROBLEMS FOR SOME TIME AND THE DOCTORS
FINALLY TOLD HER SHE NEEDED TO GO BACK AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS DEFINITELV WRONG
AND GET IT TREATED. SO SARA LEFT WITH THEIR FOUR CHILDREN AND JOHN WILL REMAIN
HERE SEVERAL WEEKS TO STRAIGHTEN UP THINGS BEFORE HE JOINS THE FAMILY. PLEASE
KEEP THEM IN YOUR PRAYERS.
SINCE THE MISSIONARY WORKSHOP WE HAVE BEEN READYING A BOOKLET ON THE PAPUA
NEW GUINEA WORK GIVING THE HISTORY AND FUTURE GOALS. WE HOPE TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE
BY JULY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY JUST DROP US A NOTE. IF YOU ARE SHORT ON PAPER
ON THE BACK OF A CHECK WILL BE FINE.
WITH THE WALLACES LEAVING THE PAUL McANNALLY'S, WHO WERE WORKING IN LAE, HAVE
MOVED TO GOROKA TO HELP US.
WE HAVE RECEIVED WORD THAT WE MIGHT BE HAVING ADDTIONAL WORKERS ARRIVING IN
JULY, 4 OF THEM. THIS WILL DEFINITELY HELP IN OUR PRINTING AND TEACHING WORKS.
UP TO NOW KATHY USUALLY HAS 50-85 KIDS IN HER SUNDAY AND THURSDAY CLASSES (AGE
17). WE ARE AMUSED AT TIMES TO READ THAT TEACHERS BACK THERE ARE NEEDED BECAUSE
THEY HAVE AS MANY AS 25-30 IN THEIR CLASSES.
ANOTHER VILLAGE LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP WAS HELD THIS MONTH. ANDY SCOTT AND LANCE
FRIIS TAUGHT 46 MEN IN THE VILLAGE OF KEU (kay-you). THERE WERE THREE BAPTISMS
DURING THE WEEK.
DURING MAY THE GOROKA CONGREGATION HAD THREE BAPTISMS AND 4 RESTORATIONS
SUNDAY MORNING AVE: 113; THURSDAY NIGHT AVE: 219. THE CONGREGATION ALSO SENT
K50 ($65.80 US) TO TORNADO RELIEF IN WICHITA FALLS.
WE HAVE BEGUN PRINTING ON THE TOPICAL INDEX. I HAVE BEEN TRANSLATING FROM ENGLISH
INTO PIDGIN ENGLISH FOR OVER 9 MONTHS NOW. SO FAR WE HAVE PRINTED 46 TOPICS,
31 STILL TO BE TYPED TO PRINT AND I LACK 30 TOPICS TO TRANSLATE.
JOE CANNON JUST FINISHED THE PIDGIN ENGLISH BIBLE CONCORDANCE HE BEEN WORKING
ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WE WILL PRINT THIS WHEN WE CAN BUY THE PAPER NEEDED.
AFTER JULY 7th YOU WILL BE ABLE TO COME HERE TO SEE US ON YOUR VACATION. FOR
ABOUT $1000 US YOU CAN DEPART THE WEST COAST COME TO PAPUA NEW GUINEA (7-34
DAYS) AND RETURN. ALL YOU HAVE TO HAVE IS A VALID PASSPORT AS YOU CAN GET A
TOURIST VISA AS YOU ENTER THE COUNTRY NOW.
