THE
WORK TO BE
DONE
The miss ion work in
Chile
is presently
contered
in the
capital city
of Santiago.
Here live 4,000,000
people
who n eed to
h ea r th e
gospel
of Chr is t. It is here
too,
that
a
small
group
of
Church
of
Christ
Chr is ti an s have set
up
the
Center
of
Chris t ian Diffusion
in a concen t r a t ed
effort to ev ange liz e all of
Chile.
The
missionaries decided upon a method
which would lay a solid foundation for
Chris t ian faith
and estab l ish chu rches
with t ra ined leadership. Initial contact
is made through a Bible correspond
ence
course, where the elementary
facts of faith in Christ are taught. Some
30,000 Chileans have enrolled in this
course and addit ional advert ising could
push
the
enrollment
up
to 100,000.
However,
th er e a re no t enough
workers
to do the jo b now. Upon completion
of th e
course, Bible s tudi es a re
set up,
in which the
missionary
continues in
st ruct ion. 90 of those who are
involved
in these home Bible s tudies
receive
Christ
and a re
baptized. These
believers
are
then form ed into
chu rches whe r e
lea ders a re
chosen
and then

OUR PLANS

GOD SENDS
How
blessed
are
we

good
news t ha t
there
i s
a
r ea l
and
personal
God who
ru l e s our universe
He-
i s
a God who
i s holy and
a God
who i s
love.
He loves
us
because He
has
made
us
arid
has
a
purpose
for
our l ives now
and
for e te rn i ty . He has given us th e oppor tunity to be. freed
from
the power
of s in
by
our accep tance of what Jesus did
fo r us on the
cross .
He
promises t h a t if
we. wi l l accept Him, He wi l l come
and dwell in
oior
hear ts through His Holy Sp i r i t and give us power
to
overcome the
f o r c e s
o f
vil
in o u r s e l v e s
and
in
t h e
wo r l d .
What a
tremendous
message fo r a world drowning in material ism and
despai r .
How
can we
ignore the crdes of modem man,
who
in h is bel ie fs
tha t there i s no purpose fo r
l i f e ,
no one in contro l ,nothing
and no
one
in whom to t rus t j sinks
deeper
into the mire
of
s in ,
ev i l ,
hopelessness,
and
lostn ss
So many
are
l os t . Do we care?
Do
we
re al ly oare? Do
we
reallSf love
the l o s t
enough to cry , enough to
pray and
enough to reach
out
with
the
gospel,
in
MM?
are the body
of C hris t.
Through us, God
wants
to rescue these l o s t
people, these people
made
in
our Father 's
image.
He will
give
us
this
precious harvest
i f
we a l l put
ourselves
in His hands.
Together,
through
Jesusy= we
can
gather
Hi s
los t
lambs
into Hi fold i f we care, i f we
love,
if we^'work, and
if
we
pray.
