The print shop, which
ha s
been our
goal for a year and a half , began operat ing
December 1. As we think of the possibil
ities of reaching th e lost and strengthening
the Christians through printed
material
we
get more and more excited. There is one
correspondence course now being
used,
but
we need a full
range
of materials to comple
ment an d reach out beyond the personal
work
already
being
done.
The setting up of
t he print shop
ha s
been
a
real
trial of patience. It took us
about
five weeks to ge t t h e p ri n ti n g equip
ment
ou t
of
customs.
When we go to
Belem
to buy
supplies
for building, it is
likely
to take al l day just to
ge t
a few things.
Then
there ar e
other
things
to do. There
is
teaching,
an d
help
to
give
to the
churches.
For us
w ho
are new o n t he f ie ld t h e r e are
a
lot
of hours to
spend
in language prepa
ration. 1 laugh now when 1 think our dreams
were to ge t the p r in t s h op set up in a month
or two. There
have
been many
long
days
an d weeks of work. It is good to have it
al l
working.
Besides
digging
a well, reconstructing
the
printshop
building somewhat, and com-
pletly rewiring the building, we had to
build
some
of our equipment. Two of us
w o r k e d
o v e r a
m on th on th e camera I t
is
equal in
value
to a 2,000 camera in the
U.S.
Also,
we ha d to build light tables
and
other
regular
equipment
found
around
an o ff s et p r in t s h op . T he r e is no other
shop
l ike

We
should be ab le
to turn
ou t
some
very
eye-catching
material.
In
al l
of t hi s p ur ch as in g o f equipment,
raising
of money to buy it , bringing it down
to Brazi l
e t c . ,
we
have
been
more
an d more
aware of
th e Lord s
leading. E ve ry t im e
there is a problem we pra y ab out it,

you
will
keep
right
on praying that through

River
Joyce Mason, Ruth Lewis and I visited
the town of Urucara,
Amazonas,
in
October.
We arrived by r iver boat about 8:30 a.m.
one day. The whole town turned out tomeet
the
boat,
as is the
custom.
It is a
pretty
town, especial ly at night when the elec
tricity is on and the lights shine on the
r iver. The
first
person I met was one of
the
Catholic priests,
who is a Canadian
and speaks English. The pr ie st s and the
missionaries
are
wel l a cqua in ted, and
we
have good opportunities to witness to them.
We did not stay in Urucara very
long
before we
headed
for Manaus to buy food
and other
supplies . This
tr ip took 26 hours,
and 1
di d
not
enjoy it .
After
almost
two
days without a shower or drink of water
we were
anxious
to find a
place
to
stay,
Finally we found a l it tle place, but after
a night with mosquitoes and mice we
looked
for
something
else,
and
found an
air-conditioned
hotel for a reasonable pr ice.
Then the shopping began. Dale Mason,
Joyce s father,
bought an aluminum
boat,
which he ha s found
really
cuts down on
traveling time in evangelizing.
We
bought
enough food for two months. The next day
Joyce and I explored the city and found
lots of bargains, and a big fan. Although
Urucara
has
electricity only 8 hours a day
the fan
would
be a big
help.

We
arrived
in Urucara a ga in an d life
became norma l once
more.
Joyce
is
taking the Calvert course at home. I graded
correspondence courses that Dale brought
from Belera.
The people seem really
enthused,
and are doing q uite w ell with
them. Dale is
taking Clint Thomas s
place
while
he is on fu rl ough . He
has had
two
years
of
medical t raining
at Platte
Valley
Bible College, and lots of experience. The
medical clinic was o pen
five
days
a
week
from 9 to 11 a.m. Ruth
has
also ha d train
ing
at
PVBC, and she worked with
Dale.
Dale is e x c it e d a bou t th e
work in th e
church. The men are preaching and
travel
ing up and down the river to evangelize
o th er t owns . The re were five baptisms in
September, and they have been working in
four other towns besides
Urucara.
They
are gone all day Saturday and on Sunday

I
will never
forget my
visit
to
this little
river
town.
The people a re j us t
as wonder
ful there as anywhere in Brazil. I ve
made
several
friends that I
will
never forget.
What
impressed
me
most
was that I
can
help these people physically and mental ly ,

that isn t what they need most. They
need Christ, and
that is why I m
here.

Terreno dos Co rr ei os
Th e
elders of th e S acram en ta
church
recently studied the fundamentals of
preaching. They enjoyed this so much that
they wanted to find some place within
reach
where
they
could put
their
knowledge
to us e. They came upon a new suburb that
had sprung up almost overnight near
Maramb ai a. Many acres of ground were
unused.
People
had
seen
this area
as
a
good p la ce to build t he ir h ou se s. In about
a year nearly three thousand were built.
They are very small with three or four
rooms and several consist of only one
room. But they were t he re and the p eo pl e
living there nee ded the Gospel of C hr is t.
The chu rch started holding
services
in the
home of a
Christian
near
the
area, hoping
later to move nearer
th e
central location of
the houses. Soon the opportunity came and
the e lder s fel t t ha t
it was t he l eadi ng hand
of th e Lord .

Construction of the meeting p la ce in
Te rr eno do s Cor re io s.
When Sr.
Jaime Silva ,
an
elder
in the
Sacramenta
church,
took
of f fo r
a
month s
vacation, he went to Soure on Marajd
Island. During the month he
visited
many
of h is f ri en ds a nd
re l a t i v es .
He
became
so
excited
about the
prospects
fcx a New
Testament church that he wrote to Paul
Lanham,
asking
him to make a visit to se e
if a congregation could be st ar ted. When
Paul wen t th er e, he also became
quite
enthused about th e prospects , and
preached
a
number
of
times
during
his
three-day
stay.
A
great desire
to
s ee t hi s
river town
evangelized began to be realized. During
July,
when these visits were m ad e five
p eople were
baptized.
Two others were
accepted
by t ransfer into the congregation.
There
is
preaching
twice a month
the
missi on ary going once and Sr. Jaime Sil va
going once.
Soure is the principal c ity on Marajd
Is land.
I t
has a Catholic diocese
with
a
bishop. The town has about 10 000 i nha bi
tants
and lots of room to grow. Th e on ly
transportation
between
Belem and Soure is
by small plane or by boat which takes
about four hours .
It

desire

this is land. Perhaps,
as we definitely feel,
th e fu llne ss of t ime has come to Soure.
The few evangelical chu rch es are reaching
few souls, and a strong and true
Gospel
witness
is
bad ly needed. Thi s
work
shows
great promise,

Internship What it Con Mean
The
word intern to
most p eople
brings
to mind an apprentice of sor ts . This
i s th e idea 1 have of
a n i nte rn
one who
is
just
beginning. This
is
what 1 consider
myse If.
Firs t
of
all ,
this
means
that
an intern
has
to learn
the language.
It
requires
no
little amount
of
time,
an d
sometimes
b ecomes v ery unpleasant . Nevertheless,
very little study means very little talking,
and very little t al king means the people
will find o ut very lit tle abo ut th e Lord. So
being
a
d il igen t s tudent
is
necessary.
Second, there is much
to
learn about
t he people. No amount of description by a
missionary compensates for f ir st hand
information. When you se e
the p eo ple d ay
aft er day
and l iv e
with their
hardships and
joys it is impossible not to
want
to give
them a better way of
life
in Christ Jesus.
Third,
you
ge t to
se e exactly
what
a
missionary does,
an d how.
The bes t
thing
by Allen Kisner
is that you
ge t
to do your
share
too. This
type of program stops the guess work. It
also
gives the
intern valuable information
and experience for
his
own work.
Of
great
importance is that the int ern
can help others come to the field. He
can
have
valuable information fo r others
when
he returns to th e
States
information tha t
is
hard for interns to g et , s uch as the cost
of housing, medical expenses , eat ing,
what type of prepara tion to have
etc.
This
is from
the intern s point
of
v iew, and
not
that
of an experienced
missionary
who
tends to overlook
these things.
fter
th e
f i rs t four
months of
th is
planned two-year internship, 1 am happier
t ha n when
1 f ir st came. 1 am also
looking
forward
to
seeing
a
lo t
of
lo st s ou ls
won
for Christ.
This
is what an internship

TEACHING IN THE HOMES
N ew Church
in
J u r u n a s
The chur ch in
Jurunas
was
started
in
April
by Richard
Robison.
When he
returned
to th e
U.S.
on furlough,
Paul
Lanham took
it
over upon hi s arrival in June . Presen t ly
there are twenty members , about half of
whom are
boys
aged
ten
to
fifteen
years.
Jurunas
is a
section
o f B el em
located
on t he o ther side of the city from the other
churches, and has
a population of
35,000
to 40 000. Very
l i tt le evangelical
work is
being done. There is a smal l Seventh Day
Adventist Church a small Assembly of God
congregat ion, and
recently
the Jehovah s
Wi t n e s s e s s t a r t ed a work t he r e ll t h e s e
ar e weak, s truggl ing congregat ions. The
area
is in vast
spiri tual darkness.
It is a
needy community and Christ is the on ly
answer for
th e
sickness that engulfs t he
suburb. Pray for the new congregation and
for t he numerous
young
boys. It h as been
found
that
many children
of
non-Christians
leave t he chu rch. These boys are active
an d
zealous,
and have
made
their enthu
siasm
felt in the area.
Pray
t ha t th ey may
cont inue to do
so
PW L
You hardly ever win a soul from the
pulpit down here. If you really wish to
ful fil l th e G rea t C ommi ssio n of our Lord,
the most efficient way to do it is by teach
ing people at their own homes. This way
the
Lord s
message is slanted more speci
fically,
and
besides,
yvu do not ttec d to
worry about the formal ity of a rou tine four
point sermon.
Another advantage of teaching here
is
th e
fa ct t ha t
one
can r each
more
than
just
th e
family on whom he calls. As soon as
the next door neighbors
see
the missionary
go into
someone s
house , they follow
right
after him and join the study.
About a month
ago, as
1
was calling
in
some
homes. 1 met a
very sweet,
elderly
widow,
Adelaide
Gomes,
who lived
in a
humble mud hut al l by her se lf . She was
quite happy to
invite
me in ,
an d
to listen
to
what
1 had to
say.
I
told
her
the parable
of
the prodigal son,
and about the birth of
Christ.
3y the
expression
on her face, 1
could se e how much sh e was enjoying our
encounter.
Before I stepped out, she
made
i t
c lea r
th at s he wan ted me t o r et ur n An
appoin tment was
set.
To my
surprise,
the
next time
1
came
over
to see her,
sh e had
a next-door neighbor
there
with
her,
Mr.
Guilherme Silva by name, whom sh e
had
especially
invited
to
listen
to my
Bible
stories. By my t hi rd
visit,
I
could
feel the
Holy
Spirit
working on
those
two
precious
souls. I
needed
to come back there
only
five t imes, a ft er which t hey both came to
the church house in order
to
confe s s
publicly
the ir fai th
in Jesus,
and
to
obey
His
commandment
through baptism.

price of a plane ticket
from Maimi to Belem is 5220,00;

you
would
see a port city of
half
million people
on
the mazon
River
which you would also see), tropical
vegetation
and
beautiful flowers and the jungle too. You
would be really in
of^uth America, without
all the expense
of going way
down
south, where most people go. You would
have
a
place
to
stay
with
us),
and someone
to
show
