Dear tir. Mo Gilvrey

I am referring to your letter of January 9 which you raisedcertain questions about us.

I. returned to Greece late in 1964 and peculiar circumstances made itpossible for me to travel widely and evangelize a number of my countrymen in many cities and villages. I want to emphasize the fact thatduring my first two years 1 did not concentrate my evangelistic effortsin a specific city or area of Greece, but I went to every city wherethere was a possibility for liew Testament Kvangelism. I did receivefunds from the U. S,, althou^ the funds for my-small apartment camefrom my own employment in Hew York. Before I went to Greece j I workedfor 15 hours a day for my uncle's restaurant in New York and I savedS6,000 for the purchase of my apartment.

During my somewhat short stay in Greece, I realized that my receivingfunds from our people in the G, S. had a destructive efiect on myevangelistic efforts. The national church of Greece was able to convincethe masses that the Protestant ministers were receiving funds from outsidein order to enslave the land to foreign interests!Ji and most of thepeople I would approach would ask me questions like-"who pays you to evangelize me.'" When the circumstances and the opportunity were favorable oneyear ago, my wife and I decided to earn a Master's degree in English sothat we would become self-supporting and our work indigenous. I willearn a Master's from the Fort Hays Kansas State College in June and wewill return to our native land in July j1969« will function in Greeceas native evangelists supporting ourselves by tutoring English which isin great demand.

We are confident that by being self-supporting we will win a wideraudience, we will be able to eliminate a great deal of...misunderstandingand propaganda, and our work will be indigenous and will have to bestchances for survival and growth.

bincerely yours

Christos P. Panikas
