I made a pledge that I would send each month's loose change from my pocket until you had the Center paid for. [The enclosed] check is for the months of April, May and June.. It is a small amount but I pray it will help in the payments for March and June. 1 am praying that God will bring many small checks just like mine to help in this work.

Right now I am praying that the Lord will lead me to five members of the church which I serve that will see the vision that the Center means in the spreading of the gospel. Please pray that they will adopt not only the need of the Center but also the Frontier Fellowship.

May God be with you all. Sincerely,

-C. J. Zearing, IA

Many times listening to you, I have seen in you the Suffering Christ for a lost world. Your vision is God given and only He will be your help to the completion of the U . S. Center for World Mission.

The enclosed check is the money I had put away for my vacation, but plans were changed. I have had many fine vacations, but meeting the July 15 deadline is more important.

Thanking God for His marvelous miracle in rescuing your mission again, it is with anticipation that I look forward to the good news: "The deadline was met once more."

Sincerely,

-L. M. C.

[We do not always know how He will "rescue" us, but we do know that He wants the Hidden Peoples reached with the Gospel! Ed.]

After reading about your crisis I promised the Lord that He would be given half of any extra money that I received this month(s). We were already heavily committed to our church and a building program, so the money donated to you had to be over and above our normal giving.

After a garage sale on Saturday, we are enclosing $40.00, half of our sale. With God's riches we may be sending more soon,

In Him, M. P.

Enclosed please find my draft to the U . S. Center for World Mission in the amount of $200.

Praise the Lord for the work being done at the Center My parents first told me of your work. Since reading Once More Around Jericho, which will be circulated among my friends, I have wanted to participate in some way. I wish I could give more!

II Chronicles 16:9a has been a blessing to me and now to you I hope. It seems you have relied on the Lord. As you continue to have hearts that are His, He will be supportive of you. This tremendous financial need must be met because God is faithful to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

I am praying with you and looking forward to hearing how the Lord answers our prayers to keep the campus and the ministry going on to His glory.

In His Bonds,

Recently I was exposed to your film and the book Once More Around Jericho.

It amazes me that discouragement can come to people so plainly involved in the Lord's work. As people we are so humorous forgetting to look back and see how far God has brought us. God has directed your paths. He is your strength. Don't depend on man or money!

I so appreciated the vision put forth in the book, You are so right people need to get a glimpse of a big task with divine purpose to set them on fire. I'm going to start the circulation of my book to my friends. Enclosed is a faith gift of $16.00.

In Christ,

-G. M. Aberdeen, SD

Thank you for sending Once More Around Jericho and "Mission Frontiers." It is so exciting to read about what God is doing, and to know that we have the privilege of being part of it all.

I am trying to read more "mission" books, and praying that God can work through me to help instill this world vision in others. This global cause has given my life in Christ a new dimension.

Thank you again so much,

-J. B. Oxford, OH

I appreciate what the Center stands for and is seeking to do. I know it is making a real contribution in the training of missionaries. May the Lord bless and work a miracle for you at this time.

Sincerely,

-R. A. M. Temple City, IA
