Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We would like to invite you to join us in fuifiiiing a dream, a

dream we believe is straight from the heart of God. Please con

sider what the Lord has given us to do, and what the Lord would

have you to do in making His dream become a reality.Rural Zimbabwe is a land unlike ours. Few still have access

to education, it's opportunity and the freedom from superstition

it provides. There is no dentist for this area of over one-million

people and no prevention or'relief from the pain and infectionofdental diseases. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not wide spread.There is little avenue forprint, radio, or television evangelism.Manywho come to Christ lose Him through false teaching. The needfor sound teaching of the Word is great.

; For o^r eight yeare Amanda and I have had the dream ofI serving our Lord as foreign field missionaries. This goal has in-

ijfluenced our cai;©§^c..ch0.ices of Dentistry and Education. These ,/professions allow us access to Maricist countries like Zimbabwey'̂

where an evangelist or minister may not be able to go. r" y Ias a dentist will be able to touch many lives forChrist through mypractice.The dental clinic is the vehicle which allows us into Zimbabwe, and the hub of

many of our activities. Through my dental care, and material sacrifice the love

of Jesus will be demonstrated and verbalized. Will you join me in meeting thesepeople's physical and spiritual needs?

^ Amanda asa teacher will have a special opportunity to extend the Word ofGod. Ina uniquearrangement the.Marxist governmentallows open religious education in the classroom. As an ^Jem^ntary teacher she would be able to freelyevangelize through this setting. You could join her in spreading the Gospel.

Beyond the dental and educational needs of the people there are great needswithin the Church. Discipleship, training, and sound teaching of the Word areurgently needed. Our experience as leaders in adult and teen Bible studies and

ministries, seminary course work, and a willingness to serve willenable us to meetthese needs.

Youcanjpin us in this,work! Dream forGod with us. Join us in spirit through.^jorayer and giving. By prayer and givingGod expresses His power through you.

Bythese alone will the dental clinic be establishedand maintained.Anditis throughthe clinic that we shall be able to enter Zimbabwe. Consider what the Lord would

have you to do to help meet the needs of our brothers and sisters in Zimbabwe.

Join us as Christ reaches to His Church through us.

Yours in Christ,

/Fred and Amanda Abel
