Please send along with this form copies of recommendations from churches which will encourage

other churches to support your missionary

work. There

are churches which w i l l not

allow a

v i s i t i n g missionary to speak

unless a

church recommendation can be shown.

Since

i t is impos

sible

for any one person to know l l Christians in the

world,

this recommendation

by

a

respon

sible

New Testament

church

is

a

v i t a l help in persuading others of

your

worthiness and the

value

of your

mission. Mission Services

stands ready to help you inform HORIZONS readers

about

your church recommendations. Since

the

church is sending you to the mission field

Acts

13:1-3)

and will help provide the necessary needs on

the

field, naturally the church should share the

credit in

your missionary ministry. One of

the

ways

that the church can d o

this

is

to share

their

conviction

regarding

your missionary

ministry

with

others.

Certainly, their

words will

help

convince

others

regarding

the

worthiness

of

your

work.

I

think it impossible for

me to

list all the things that

have in

fluenced

us

to enter the mission field,

for

I feel that

many

have

helped

in

the planting and

the

watering of the

idea,

along with the Lord

continually

tugging at our

hearts.

We feel

we

have been blessed richly with three fine children, a

nice

home and a secure occupation, but along with

these

blessings

we

felt

that God required more of

us

and we

were too

busy to do more for Him.

Our home

from

childhood

to

the present

was

always

open

to

any

visiting minister, evangelist, missionary or Christian worker and

in

this

way we became

acquainted

with Dr.

Dennis

Pruett and the

work in

Rhodesia, Africa•

Upon

his

invitation we

deceided to

sell the veterinary practice

and our

home

and

go

to Winston-Salem, N,

year
