yii! ^-jDear Friends in Christ: / //' /

V* It hafl not been possible to write to each of you personally since our arrival inthe Philippines, although we have reineiiibsred you in our prayers and are grateful to

, all who liave isade it possible for us to be here# Your prayers and financial help areprecious to us, for in them you labor by our side in a strange land#

j^te on the evening of iiiroh aboard the S# S# PMlippine Bear, we sailed outunder the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco# The ocean crossing was quite uneventful but pleasant after the fii-st three days# Tlie ciiildren*s school v/ork occupiedmuch of the time and they were able to finish much of their work# We held worshipservices each Lord's Day in our Stateroom# The ship's captain and some of the otherpassengers found these services helpful#

It v;as also late at night v/hen we entered kanila Bay on Stiroh 25* Philippineofficials came aboard to help us with the month long task of winding up the "red-tape" of entering a foreign land# Oa "tie morning off the 26th the Charles Selbys andthe missionaries in Manila came on bor^rd and gave us not only a royal welcome, butmuch help in getting our personal baggage t^urough Customs and to the ilission home onGastambido, where we stayed for three weeks# Mrs# Wolfe graciously opened her hometo us and the Solbys while we stayed in Manila# During this time we were able to dosome evangelistic work among the brethren in the ilanila area as woll as attending theTagalog Convention v/hich was held in the Cruzada Street chapel#

On April l6 the Jeep passed its final best in becomng a citizen of the Hiilip-pines, and on the 17 v;as loaded and headed for Aparri# Two long days of hard, dustytraveling brougat us the i'itO luiles froiA ilanila to Aparri# We enjoyed tlio hospitalityof the home of Brother Sajuray in Vigan on tJ-ie v^ay# Since our arrival v/e Iiave been atthe task of temporarily settling down $ind getting into the work# The first v/eek wasspent in an institute and rally here in Aparri, and last v/eek in Ilocos Sur# Thatbrings us to the present and we can only speak of conditions end plans for the future#

Our living i^uarters and the Aparri Bible Seiniuarjr can not be discussed separatelybecause at the present thej*- are as one# The Piission has but one building of its ownat the present time# It has boon the Selby's home and Seminary building since theirfirst arriT^l in the Philippines# The f4.rst floor serves as a girls' dormitory and —storage room# The second floor of four rooms has served as "the li"vlng quarters forthe Selbys, and class rooms for the Seminary# Of course tliat v/as before v/e came# Itis no?/ also the living quarters for the five Campbells# With all ten of us in thehouse, it is necessary to sleep somewliat FHipino style—L'uiny in each room# Vfe arevery compatible, but such an arrangement does make for complicated living# Tlie Seminary will begin the school year on J'one 22, and in looking ahead to our coming andto the further needs of the school, the Selbys made an appeal for the building of another house so t}iat the present house could be used for the enlarged Seminary# VTealso had hoped to rai-se funds for a house wliile we v/ere yet in the States, but couldnot "take the tine to do so# At present we have loss than §100 designated for it#

The Seminary in Aparri lias proved its "worth and is receiving much encouragementfrom the brethren here# A greater enrollment increases our need for facilities andstudent help# We iiave been able to rent the only nipa house tl"iat is available for ourboys' dormitory, but v/e need momey for a lot and another dormitory tli5.s s'lear. Also alibrary of useful books is needed immociately because the s"tudonts are not able to buymany books and must do most of their studjdng in the library# (Books can be sent atless cost tlian most things.) Strictly speaking, we do not ;iave any students on scholarship, but "we do try to pro"vlde some self-help to "those who need it# The main expense for the S"tudcnt is food# VTa are cuite happy if they can pro-vide tho'i.r ov/n, butsome noed help. Ton dollars (ClO) per month will provide food for a single student#This is not a gift, and is earned at the rate of 20 cents per hour# This is in keeping with the pre"vailin£ v/age# We need a hundred dollars per month for this a-tudentaid# Investing in the Seminary is investing in e-vangelism, because "the s"tudents areactively engaged in e-Tangelism the year around, and as tliel^r numbers increase moresouls will hear the Gospol and more congregations will be es"tablishod#

It v/as necessary for us to borrov/ v35I*UO to meet our needs in coming to Aparri,but we trust God's providence and His faitliful stewards for this and the increasedneed for-finanoix^g the Kingdom here# Again, wo offer our tlianks to you all.

Dear Friends in Chiriso:

It is v;itl great ioy tliat we are finally able to annoiaice tlie safe arrival ofthe Caiapbell faiiiily on the field, and already they are into the "work here# As Iwrite this. Brother Canpbell and I are in Vigan, Ilocos 3ur. We have just finishedthe Ilocos convention which was held in the town of Burgos this year. j3ro, Cai:ipboll'"'as initiated in a very t^^ical way. he was called upon to preach five sermonsduring the three daj* convention. It was a good Meeting, with all nino Cjmi'ches ofIlocos Sur represented, as well as the Abra brethren. One young man v/as baptized.

Our summer plans are pretty v;ell laid out* Tomorrow, Jro. Campbell is goingback to Aparri in order to take 6are of mo.ny tilings th.ere tliat still need bo be donein nheir getting unpacked end as settlecj as possible under present living conditions.Of course his main work v.'ill be in getting ready for the opening of the Seini.naryclasses, which is sot for dune SF this year. Tomorrow I am leaving with three Filipino coripanions for trie province of Abra where we will spend a v/eck visitinr thebrethren in the five difforent villages thatv/e visited last Lecember, The brethrenin Abra are facing a great deal of opposition in their efforts to come out of denominational tie-ups into simple hew Testament Christianity. Altiioug'] this trip v/illrequire 100 miles of walking through ti-o mountains besides several hours cj? ridingthe bus, we feel thot it is important to make it jit least twice a year. The brethrenthere need much encouragement ond teaching. Vfe are sure tiiat the work will be openedup in several new places before too long. Eight now the work is confined ma.inly togetting the brethren in these places orgonized and indoctrinated.

After returning from the Abra trip, 5b is our plan to visit at least six of tlieChurches here in Ilocos Sur before retumin;;, to Aparri on ::>^.y 18th. On the 22ndBro. Campbell, Bro. Peneyra and I ar©' planning to go to Isa.bela -^or a convention,after which Dro, Campbell v/ill return to Aparri, and Bro, Peneyra anri I will remainvisiting Churcnes in Isabela and ^--ueva Vizcaya until June 7. curing which time we v;ill

..hold tp/o.preaching rallies in Isabela. The remaining v/eekends in June will bo devotedbo preaching rallies in Caga^^an.

The Aparri convention was held the last weekend of April with more than 200brebhren attending from all over northern Luzon, The spirit and preaching were good,(i^nd five were baptized. The first ni,'-ht of the convention, I'ri. night, a very finereception was g:Lven by the brethren for the Cgmpbell family, f.eports from the Aparriand Ilocos conventions show there were 2bG baptisms during 1952, with three Churchesestablished, and so far in 1953 there have been 65 baptized into Christ and one newChurch established. The prospects for the evangelistic work this year are very good,be pray that our labors will truly result in many souls won to Christ as well as intlie strengthening of the brethren in their faith, "^Je need your prayers for a greatharvest of souls during this year and in the years to come,

blork began on the Selby hone about ikr, 1 and is continuing as itinds are available. It was necessary to stop work for two weeks vdiile wo were in Ifenila, due tolaclc of money. To date, v;e have received 02O9O.2O. It is estinated it will takes?3000 more to complete it. ""Je are very grateful for your gifts, and thank God foryour co-operation in this project. It would be impossible v/ithout your help andprayers, V/e will move both families into it as soon as walls, floors, and partitionsare completed, and finish the rest later. The house into which both faiidlies arenow crowded must be made ready for use as a Seminary building by Juno 22, Pleasedesignate your gifts if you want them used for this buildinr nrcject.

V^e-wish to-thank all of you for your financial help which-makes It possTbleT'orus to do the Lord's work here. Your part in gifts and prayers is just as importantas ours in carrying }Iis C-ospol to lost souls in the Philippines, I's^y He bless us allas we continue to work together for Christ and His Church,

APARRI BIBLE SEUUAHY OPENS FOR £nd YEAR

Vfhen the students of the seminaries

in the States liavo put away their stu.dies,we in tlie Philippines begin to get readyfor a new school year. Already we havestarted class work for the 1955"5U schoolyear. Sixty-one (6l) have onrolled andare busy from early morning to well intothe night. This is a 7W increase overthe number onrulled last year and thuspresents a groat challenge to us. Itcauses us to look to the future with greathope, although it does create sorae extraproblems for the present.

Bro. Fauatino Ponoyra, -Idie Filipinoevangelist here, teaches in the Ilccanodialect. This is ospooially good for thenew students v/b.o are not so familiar witli

the English language. His subjcjcts are:"Gist of the Biblo,""Personal Evungelian,"and "Gospels". Bro, Selby tcachos "OldTestament" and "Restoration History", Mrs.Solby's classes are: "English", "Greek l","Chorus", and "Vacation Biblo School",Mrs. Campbell also works witli the Chorus,and is toac}iing twenty students on thopiano, accordian, and organ, '.fy classesare: "Homiletics", "Modem Soets'Cults",and "Nov; Testament Exegesis", A greatChapel Servjoe oacii Wednesday iiigiit iiolpcto complete tie serious part <>f each woolcin school. ~N,A.Campbell

IQHj 1^5 TR/aN EVANGELISTS IBesides i;ho many ntu'lonts who orovidg

for their cavii food and clothing need:;, wohave 16 students who need the opporturit""to oam their money for food so they canremain in school, $10 per monUi dobsn*tseem to bo vory much to pay for one s'bud-ont's food for a monbh, but I6 means $l60a monti and we only have $10 per r.ionth ofthat pledged. Wo have begun in faith tosupply work fur these I6 students, trusting that you v/ill want to help us trainevangelists. Some of t)ioso studor.ts havoconverted many already but thoy are hungryfor more training. Shall v^o send thorn a-vray? None of those are asking to bo fedwl-dle in school. They only v/ant tho opportunity to cam enough to food thora-solvos, so wo do not speak of scholarshipholp, but "solf-hclp".

These students can do vt.^ry good work,i^t present thoy arc making dosk-ch'.irc fortho class rooms, bods for tho dormitories,and arc v/orking on Bro. Selby's house andalso repairing tho Saminary building. Plowcould you make $25, $50, or $100 a month50 farther in the Lord's vjork in trainingevangelists? —R.A.Campboll

UE0RER3 TOGETHER—HARVESTING

As missionaries, our primary task isevangelism and probably tlie greatest contribution "Uiat wo can make to the programof evangelism here is through the work ofthe Seminary. Tlie fact still remains thatthe most effective work along this linewill bo done by Filipino preachers reaching their own people.

The mj.ssionary does havo an oppor-•buiity, however, to do some very effectivework especially v/itli tlie churches. Duringthe pe.st vacation months Bro. Campbell andI along with Bro. Peneyra and others hadbhe opportunity of working with sevendifforont churohos in preaching ralliesand Bible Institutes. In every case weleft tPiO churches feeling tPiat they liadboon greatly strengthened in their faith,Bosidos that, there were I4I who acceptedChrist and were "buried with him in baptism." During tl'.'.oso same months, five ofour students wore- out in evangelistic workand have reported 2.5 souls won to Christ,Tlnoso same slajdorts and others aro goingout each woek-ond during school and arodoing an effective work, Cno of them reported one baptism las-- week and is going"Wiis wook to a new village in an attemptto open a nG\7 v;ork. Tlio enthusiasm ofthose young men is a -./ondorful thing toboh aid.

Bosidoa those students and Bro, Pen-tcachoB a full schodulo in the

SG:uirLai'y, there are seven men receivingsome help from mission fimds who are busyin iiio preaching of the Gospel. Those menarc doing a fine work among tho churohoscjnd report souls v/on to Christ oach month,Thoir task is a groat one and they arc allanxious for tiio day v/h.on thoy will bo rc-onforcod with tho young proachors comingout of tho Seminary. —Charlos W, Solby

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOLSIn tho Philippines, schools close in

I'hrch or April and opon in Juno or July.This year, because thoy bogan earlier thanusual, the summer's activities woro crowded into ti'/o months. Wo had seven teams ofgirls out in V.B.S.'s, who taught a totalof 39 wooks, with SI3 children enrolled.Some of tho girls spent their whole TOca-tion period in this work, with just a fewdays at homo boforo school bogan. Thoyarc so oagor and v/illing to go, and thoycome back thrilled with tho results ofthoir efforts. Although they never complain, wo know thoy endure many liardshipsin "Idioir travels. Often thoy must v#alkmany kilontctors botv/ocn places of v/ork.

^ (V.B.S. Continued)sofaetimes in the rain and mud, wadingthrough streams, and carrying their baggage on tieir heads# Or they will ride ona carabao cart, slowly Jolting over thejrough paths and rice fields#

" The churches are so happy for thecoming of the girls", and do allthey can to help them, taking them intotheir homes, helping v/iti their traveling expenses, and often sending spmooneto escort them to their next placo of work.Nearly always they request them to staylonger tlian just two weeks, and to,"Pleasecome back next yeayl" The girls theifi-selves work tirelessly, teaching bothmorning and aftomoon classes, calling inthe homes in between times, and oftonhelping v/ith a preaching service at night,or teaching songs and the Word of God toa group of young people.

During the school year, they aro busyon the weekends going to nearby churchesand barrios of Aparri to teach the children# Realizing that those children arothe future church of Christ, and both theyand their parents may be won to Christ inthis way, who can moasuro the extent orvalue of this work? Remember to pray forthe workers here# —Roberta Selby

"WHAT DO YOU NEED?"There have boon mary wVio have o.skod,

the brethren at home to supply tho needshero if they Imow who.t those needs aro!The work here has grown much faster thanour resources# Following aro some of ourmore pressing financial needs:1# APARRI BIBLE SEMINARY—

NEW HORIZONS

Sometimes it sooias that life can belikonod to horizons. Wo no sooner cotiginto tho realization of ono until there is

another ono in viow. Each ono holds muchin store for us, in blessings and problems,in privileges and responsibilitios. So itwas as our ship approached Manila on thonight of LArch 25, 1955* ha<i watchedwith interest tho tropical sunset and twilight of our last eve on the ship# As woontorcd Mxnila Bay, passing by Corrogidor,tho lights of the city appeared on thohorizon# As wo slowly approachod we wondered wiiat v/as in storo for us on this Now

Horizon#Now that we have been here more •than

throe months, our now life is no longer ahorizon for wo aro in tho midst of -theviov/# Things that wero strange to us atfirst are fast becoming familiar# Whilewo have yet much to loam, wo have alreadyput aside many of our first impressions orthe land, suoh as tho odd way ono feels inhis first night under a mosquito net,awakening to tho sound of foreign babbling,of seeing n-fcrango sights and scenting indescribable odors. Once one is accustomedto thoso things, ho discovers that peopleare pretty much -fcho same "the world over.Laughtor and tears, smiles and frowns,v/orkand plan—those aro all a universal language. Of course, wo are aware that theRiilippinos havo had much American influ-onco .which makes our adjus-tment hero mucheasier than it v/ould bo in some places.

Thoro is never a day that does nothold things of interest for us# It may betho expression on 'the face of a girl asshe places her fingers on tho piano keysfor the first lesson, or -fcho big smilethat flashes across tho face of a youngman as he squeezes the accordian tho firsttimo. It may bo tho intent way that agirl tolls a story to a group of squattingo})iIdron, although it is done in the dialect and we do not understand a word -thatis said, or it may be -bho zeal of a youngpreacher boy as ho presents -the Gospel tohis patient audionco. It may be Idie -thrillthat comos when the sound of the old fashioned organ blonds v/i-tti -bho voices of -the6l students of the Seminary, or it may bothe satisfaction that comes from hearingtho voices of tho teachers in their class

es, challenged by tho eager students.Somo-bimes it is in sharing with our oldestson as he relates tho oppor-bunities he hasfound to be a missionary to his schoolmates# Still it may bo a quick glance outof—tho -window—revealing scores - nipa—roofs, telling us -blioro are countlesssouls v/ho noed Christ#

Tlieso are but a few of -bhe thingsthat wo havo found just over our New Horizon. —Dondona Campbell

-EVANGELIZING T^IE LOST

Alidiough most of our time at this timeof year is devoted to the Seminary yet thework of Evangelism is not neglected. Veryencouraging reports in this work come fromour student preachers who are going outeach v/eek-ond to preach in various places.Laureano Lopez is trying to revive thework in Buguey. There wore two confoss-ions of faith there recently. I.'e are praying much that there might be a great revival there. Laureano is planning an evangelistic mooting during Chris-bnas vacation. In another barrio, Virgilio Ibarrais attempting to establish a now congregation. Tho attendance is grcfwing and interest is being manifested on tho part ofmany who are not new members of the church*Virigilio is expecting several to acceptChrist there soon* Another of tho boysvisited several places in tho province ofIsabela rocently and reports tho brethrenthere in greo.t need of preachers. Evory-v;horo he went they bogged him to staj''.This only illustrates tho groat need forpreachers all over this area. In tho province of Isabola wo have tv/o men whom wo

are helping a little each month. They arcnot able to give full time to tho work andthe field is so vast that many of thochurches can only be visited 01100 a year.This same thing is truo in all othor areas.The iEvangolists that are able to work full

timo receive more calls tlian -ttiey canpossibly answer.

Plans for tho fu-bure call for evangelistic trips to IloooG and Abra in December,ifeirch and April; a mooting of Evangelists,Elders and other loaders in Decemberj con-vontiofis in Ilocos, Manila and Aparri; andseveral months of intensive evangelisticeffort in tho Cagayan Valley boforo schoolresumes again in June.

In the meantime, during school, Bro.Campbell v;ill be preaching every Sundaynight hero in Aparri and I 7/ill bo "visiting some of tho churches outsido of Aparrieach week-end when possible.

Sixtjr-seven studtjnto onrollod duringthe first semostor "which began last June.Most of those were able to complete thesemester's "work and have now entered intothe second semester. Wo expect more students to enrcftl before the semester is toofar gone for ' them to complete tho work.

With semester exams over, we are ableto further e^luate the work of the schooland the students. A large majority of -bhes"budents are doing very oredi"table "work.Al"though the ad^vanteges of secular education are much less here than in the U.S.,"the desire to learn makes up in part forthat condition "when they como to tlie SiDiB«-inary. We try to take the student where-ever he is, instuto, Iiigli sohoo'j ^ or college lovol and trs.in him for service inthe Kingdom. We're proud of our S"bidon"bs*

Our great noed is still a trained leadership. I am convinced that wo could es-"bablish 20 to i+O oongregationc a year ifwe had enough trained leaders to "watohover thorn in their infancy. Wo ar© holdinginsti"fcutes in the Provinces to tinxiiipresent leaders, but we look to tho schoolfor the greatest help in meeting the need.

THIS IS ITl

Ask nearly any missionary tho question,what do you consider your chief ncod on•aie mission field. Row every humble servant of Jesus Christ reoogniZGr. his need ofspiritual grace and "wisdom and those aredaily supplied so your question is notprimarily concomod -with "tl"ioso, so you askagain, "What is your chief neod?" This isit, in my humble opinion, the samo thingtliat the preacher at home is crying outfor--r0gular support. You.my counter thatthe preacher at homo and "^10 msnionaryabroad have thoir regular support in theirsalary and li"ving-link. Hov; mraiy preacherswould bo willing to proach to omp^ty pewsand/or cold, indifferent church membersal"fchough he "was getting his regular salary?He would not, because ho needs other regular support. He neods your prayers, yourwilling hands, your time, and additionalfinances5 these kings of regular supportalso if he is to fulfill his mission amongyou.

"May I suggest "that "this same rogula"rsupport is also the chiof need of tho missionary if ho is to fulfill his mission.We are grateful for li"ving-link supportand all other monies that arc sent to us

Tor the Lord's work. Wo are grateful foryou^ prayers and every other manifes"fcationof ijitorcst in us and tho Lord's "work,but sirtco you can not assist "fcho missionary dii«eoftXy "with bxmds and tnjao, ihe

ooily otlier regular support that you canoffer is financial vd-fcli your prayers.

I don't Imow of any missionary who"Would object "to receiving -this regularfimncial support over and above his llv-iilg-link, but many churches and preachersobject. Here are some of Hxe objectionsthat I have heard, and an answer for each."We are not interested in putting ourmoney in a general mission fund that isused for everything." The gonercl fund is•blae missionary's tool chest. Living-linksupplies his personal needs, but tho othermoney e±.ablos him to ti'ain lordcrs, es^Tab-lish congreg'-.tions, and trr.'/cl rmong themto nurture tJiem. Cfjuld anybhing be morevital tMnth^s? Anotlier objectioji, "Ourpeople are interested in a particular missionary, so v:e are "willing to send himlivi.ng-link tnonoy and if his livarg'-linkis being sent, v/e aren't interested in "tliogeneral' •aission fund." Every risrionaryis grateful for the interest in him pcr-aenally, but he wants your interest to extend ttt "bJiO thousands he might roach forChrist if lie iiad your regular support. Alast objection is this, wouldn't have"fclic Bame personal interest if we "wore justcontributing to the general fund." Everygift is acknowledged by letter and if youonly got one lot-ber a year from your missionary it iS!xy be "tsiat you have only v/rit-ton to liim once. On iixc other hand if you.contributo each month you will get a ra--port on tho Vv'ork at least once a month.Fur"thormorc, a congregation "fchat plodgosregular support for tlio mission -work is ontho same plane as ono i-hat pledges living-link support. The samo report of tho useof finances and tho work of the mission is

Until tho time comes "ivhcn each congregation assuiiros "the full responsibility ofa mission ontorpriso, this is it, wo neodyour prayers and" rogulalr support.--N.A»Ci.
