What
is
actually being done
in
our
nrinistry today? Presently
Bill is
devoting time
to
the English congre
gation
which is
currently meeting in
the
John
F. Kennedy school. The
attendance runs about 18-20. Norm
directs the Spanish-speaking congre
gation which meets in his home. Its
attendance
runs about 30-45. He is
also helping them
in
their
search
for
a
Mexican evangelist who will
d ev ot e
f u l l - t i m e
to
Queretaro, as
he
is now a full-time English
teacher.
Both Norm
and
Bill are teaching at
the
National
Bible
Institute. Bill
teaches 5 hours a week: a class in
Messianic Prophecy and o ne in shop
which
is designed to
help
the young
men earn
a
living
and be
able to
pr ea c h in
an
a r e a
w h e r e
t h e r e is n o
church to
support
them.
Norm teaches
hours a week: a class in Corin
thians
and one in
Revelation.
He
also serves as
the
academic
dean.
Both Bill and N^rm believe v t h a t
this
multiplies
their ministry and
makes
a
s t r o n g
church possi ble. There
are
28
students
i n
the institute a n d on
a n y
week end
at l e a s t
20 of
them
are
s e r v i n g in
churches throughout the
Bajio.
Bill
also works with leaders
of
the
churches
in
Viborillas
(100
miles),
San
Juan
(18),
La
Palma (25)
and several in the state
of
Mexico
The visitation
and leading
in
the
congregation is hopefully
both
up
lifting
and encouraging
to
sound
doctrine.
Beyond these
d u t i e s N orm
d e v o t e s
long
hours
to
preparing the legally
required forms and
reports
for
the
non-profit
corporation
which gives
us legal
grounds for
publishing
gospel literature
and
Bill works on
electronic and mechanical equipment
for
other missionaries to help fu r
ther their ministry. He
has re
paired
tape
recorders, movie
projec
tors,
cars,
tractors,
among other
things. BH

Of

following concerns

will
have completed
12
years
in
Mexico
and will begin
a 10-month
furlough
at Johnson
