For nearly four months
we
have been in
the
States, to
report
to
the
Churches on our
f i rs t four years in the Amazon Valley. I t
has
been our privilege to present the challenge
of
the work to be
done
there
for
Christ
to
many Churches
and interested
people who
had
no t
before
had a part
in
this. We
deeply appreciate
your
interest
and
hospitality.
Medical checkups showed noces ai ty o f a sinus
operation
and
treatment
for an ulcer , an
infection, and a
tropical
para.site. Most of
this
has been or
is now
beinf
treated. We
both
are f ee ling
well
and are regaining
vital i ty, with
all th e good food and the cold weather ,
which we
d o n t have where
we
l ive
in
Braz i l .
Luring
th e past, throe years our missionaries have begun together to publish the
best

has
been translated into Portuguese, but could not

furlough.
The total cost wi.ll be 1900,00 to print 1000
copiea, ir:oludlng a i l original set t ing
up
of the
book.
W? en printed, this
book ' ..'ill be
carried by
a l l evangelical
bookstores
in B ra zil,
a;id
will
be an
excellent
means
for spread-
i.ng
ow Testament
principles
of th e
Church. About .5900,00
s t i l l
needed
fo r this
project.
In
a Church we worked
with
for
four
years, two of the young men
have
been doing most
of tht2
preachin.g
and teaching in
our
absence. They have grown much stronger spir i tual ly,
s.nd show
that
th e Church i s
becoming capable of carrying
on without a minsionary

Chr i s t :
As quickly as
possible
we will be getting back into
the
work
to
be done in Brazil
af ter
a r n v l n g
in Belem
August
6t h. Tiie Furlough we have j u s t completed has
been
re
freshing i n
many ways.
I t
certainly was wonderful to get to meet old friends again
and to make many new ones in th e many Churches we vi si t ed. I t ha s been a ny th in g b ut a
vacation though
actually
harder on us health-wise
than
working
in Brazil.
As fo r
the
work in Br a z il there i s more than ever
to
be done now. The Anti-Communist
revolution in April and subsequent drive
against corruption
should be a tremendous
b o o s t to
the;work o f
C h r i s t .
The Radio Program which we ha ve b ee n
needing
should be under way very
soon
and be a
few months
old
by
y e a r s
end.
The
plan
is
to
us e
i t
in
conjunction
with
correspondence
courses by mail, to teach
more
people than
we
could reach otherifise. This should produce
greater results
than we have seen in the past. All of our missionaries
in
the Amazon
Valley
will
be working together on
this. I f anyone
or any group
feels
the
desire
to help
financially in this work, your
contribution
will be acknowledged specially for this.
An Evangelizing Center in downtown Belem has been acquired, and will be opened about the
f ir st
of September. We hope th e nucleus fo r a new
Church
will come from i t . This also
is
requiring expenditure of more money about 50.CX5 per month.
Th e P ar a B ib le
Inst i tute
has
5
s tu d en ts e n ro l le d
this year which i s
ab out a n a ver ag e
of our
h i^
and low enrollment since the school began
full-time
in 1961.
We
will
be
working
a ga in w it h
th e
Institute
training
preachers
and chiarch workers.
Both
of th e
Churches in Icoaraci the town we
l iv e in
have been growing
during
our
absence,
which
is encouraging. They have not been without American leadership, but
have not had
i t
a l l the
time in
every service. One ha s grown from about 35 on Sunday
mornings
to
about 55, and t he other from 35
to
45. The Churches
usually
have a
larger
attendance in th e evenings than in th e mornings, i f i t
is no t
raining. One of
these
Churches has built a
Baptistry
and a
new
sidewalk, completely on i ts
own since
offer
ings have increased as a
result
of revival
in
the Church.
These
are signs of
better
g ro wt h a nd health in the Churches.
