letter

of 1966

May brought into being

many

changes,

both

physically and spiritually. One of

the spiritual opportunities granted unto

us,

was that of preaching

and

teaching

at

an Army base

just

outside of Landau, West Germany. As you know from May*s Newsletter

one of

the service men from

there gave

his life

to

Christ, and was

baptized

into our

Lord here

in

Stammhim, and from that time on, the Lord worked

in

the hearts and lives

of

many

of

these

people,

placing within their

souls a

hunger

for

more

spiritual food.

Also, we

request your-

faithful pr lyers

on

our behalf* At times we

become

discoTiraged and

feel that

perhaps

our effort

are in

vain.

But

each time this

happens, the Lord

shows us different. If

our work

for

Christ is

in

vain,

why does

the Children s Bible Hour continue t o grow?

If

our calling program is in vain,

why

do we

now have

4

Children s Bible

Hour

periods

in

one week, instead

of

just

one?

Well, T ll

tell you why. Because God has used

our

small, meager efforts

to help many hearts to

be molded

in the ways of

truth before

the devil

could

harden

them

against

His Word. Oh, it s so hard

to fight

on at times, but

when

we do,

God s blessings are

so rewarding.

We

difinitely do-have one big, pressing

need,

and

that is

for

the teaching could

Dear Friends in Christ:

The Devil never seems

to

let God s Children

have

time out for a vacation or for

a . minute's peace.

He

i s

i n

the way

continually

as one strives to

serve

our Lord.

Once

again he has seemin gly been making much progress. B i . . t our wonderful Lord and

Savior

has

been

making even more.

If you'll permit

us, we v / o u l d

like to share a

few of these very trials with you. Perhaps our trials will help you, as your exper

iences

help

us

to grow

i n

the

Lord,

As many

of you know,

we

had worked

several months

on

making

workbooks in

German

for

Daily

1 9 6 + ,

But since our usage of

the

language w a s r i o t fluient enough

to

meet the needs upon

our

moving to Stammheim,

v ; e

continued to master i t, with

the

Lord's help and gui dance.

Through

the

Lord's

guidance

and leadin g preparations

were made for Daily Vacation

First, there was the printing of the Books

take care of, God provided us

with two capable printers

who

were more than happy to

on

the work without

pay®

We were

asked

to pay for t h e needed materials.

These

two

young

people

are wonderful

Christians,

who

witness daily for our Lord, There

were 300

books printed, one

hundred copies being printed for each class: the Beginners, the Primaries, and the

Juniors. But, as

thin gs usually do

now-a-days,

the needed materials cost us

much

more than we had expected, therefore, our mission fund

you have

an

she could# X .

then continued with

the

t v / o other classes. Oh, yes, we

had

problems, problems of

all

kinds.

But

the Lord's

victories have been innumberable

during

the

past

two

weeks.

Many

young people have drawn closer to their

Lord,

and many have been

seriously

considering

a

new life with Jhrist,

Please pray

for them.

Their

souls

are so precious to our Lord, If

they can

only see

the need

of giving their lives

completely to Christ

now

and living

for

Him, what a glorious life they

will have in

our Lord and Savior,

We have been so

very

discouraged with the

way

the

German

adults have responded

to the teachings of our Lord and Savior, But, oh the blessings

we

have received

from

our

work

with the

children.

It

takes

a

lot

of work, on our

part

to have

things

ready for the children each

week.

And a t i

times

we feel as

though

we

can't

go any

further.

But

God has

alv;ays

seen

us

through

and

blessed

us

beyond words.

Is

our

working

with

the children

all

in vain?

In

Proverbs

22:6

God's Word says,

"Train

up

a child in the way that he should go, and

when

he is old he will not depart from it,"
