Central Africa Story
A myriad of
mission
philosophies appear
from
the classroom to national plat
forms, and from fields of service to board meetings. This is good, for we must care
fully consider the mosteffectivewaysofreachingpeople for Christ in on ever chang
ing world.
An
examination of different philosophies not only gives new ideas and freshness,
but many
times points
our dangers ofother philosophies. Redeeming the
time
is of
vital importance and any new idea, scripturally sound, is welcomed.
is gratifying to see a surge of interest in a world-wide evangelism; for a genu
ine concern for the lost has no geographical boundaries, and we must work while we
still have today.
Disciplining
the nations has many aspects.
Who,
where, and how to send are
only a few of the basic and vital questions. I am happy for the elders who chose to
set me aside as an evangelist to Rhodesia, for in their decision many questions of
sending are answered. But what about the actual work itself? Many books hod been
studied Anthropology, Sociology, Methodsof Approachand other courses hod been
token, in
order
to be more effective. The churches had committed us to the Spirit
with trust and confidence. The
field
would determine much
of
how
the
work wou ld
have to be carried out,
and
the Spirit would lead.
The opportunities in Rhodesiacalled forth a review and research of almost every
mission philosophy ever thought and yet, through the years, the main emphasis has
been through all approaches, to follow the plan laid down in the New Testament
commit thou to faithful
men
who shall teach
others also.
In the Sinoio
area
alone, there ore fifty-two church groups with whom we work.
The main thrust is hot only being involved in primary evangelism, but in teaching
faithful
men
in special sessions.

We work together with sixAfrican evangelists some of whom also help in leader
ship clinics. Once a month we all ge t together for a study and to chart out the work.
Recently we
were
privileged to hove Bro. Bruce Ammermon come from his new cen
ter of service in Salisbury to lead in one of the discussions. Bruce and his family
are now in a strategic location not only to do a much needed work in Salisbury but
to assist in leadership clinics through the country.
The Lord continues to open new doors of service and we are so thankful for the
thrust in Rhodesia in spreading the Gospel. Yes there
ore
many philosophies which
must be considered but they all fall under the main Emphasis . . .commit thou to

CENTRAL
AFRICA
CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
RICHARD
SMITH
The preacher training work in Rhodesia had its beginning in 1958 at Mashoko
when John
Pemberton
sow
the
need fo r t ra ined Christian leaders in
th e church
of
Christ throughout Central Africa. Richard Smith became the principal of Central
Africa Christian College in 1966 when it was
moved
to Fort Victoria.
A goal of the college leaders is to encourage the Rhodesian African Christians
to begin to support their college.
n
the post years,
much
stress has been put upon
this goal and now Christians
are
beginning to respond. They
ore
pleased to see that
they have a real part in making the college a success.
Until this goal is realized, we still must share the financial burden with American
Christians. We urge you to accept the invitation to shore in
prayer
for this work;
that God con
usethesetroined
African men to
spread
the Gospel to parts of the world
we
ore unable to
reach
with our own
lives
and witness
FORT VOORIA MISSION
LESTER VAN DYKE FAMILY
The
Lester Van
Dyke
family
began
their
work
in
Chiredzi,
Hippo
Valley,
Rho
desia in 1964 as
they
helped to pioneer
the
medical and evangelistic work there.
After two years,
they moved to
Mashoko Mission
where Von
continued
his
hospital
administration
duties
and
did preaching
to the nearby villages and Marjorie
taught
in the
Medical
Assistant School and helpedwith
office
work.
We
soon sow the need
for someone to take the
Gospel
to the people in the villages, and so was born our
plan for bush
evangelism , which is the
ministry,
we
feel
we are called to
do. We
ore
equipped
with a
VWKombi Camper which becomes
our
home for
a
number
of
days at a
time
in the villages where
churches
are
being
planted and nourished.
We
maintain a home in Fort Victoria
where
Van teaches in the African Bible College two
days a
week,
but our major
work
lies
in
the vast Gutu
Reserve
some 40 miles
from
For t Victor ia
Van spends up to 5 days in one or
two
villages at a time as he believes
con
tact is the key to evangelizing a primitive people: eating the food they eat; sitting
on the ground with
them;
walking their
foot paths; visiting
the sick and
calling
on
church
prospects;
having Bible studies for several hours a day, several days at a
time, under the shade of a tree, their usual meeting place-all these factors contri
bute
to the
African s
acceptance ofthe Gospel. Not one of the villages to whom he
ministers is
in
the
vicinity
of any
mission
station where the people
con
go to learn,
so they would not be reached if itweren t for going to them .

His main emphasis is l ea de rs hi p training and so he holds schools for the men and
b oy s who come each month for
several
days. The women ore showing keen i nt er es t
in having a si mi lar school so p la ns are under consideration to assist them in l ea rn
ing the Bible
and
how to live the Christian life.
There is evidence of growth and one aspect of this is the recent selection by all
the churches in the
area
of an
elder
to serve as their leader during the Van Dyke s
furlough. There is i ncr ease d eagerness all the time to learn
more
of G od s Word.
The leadership schools
ore
continuing during the Van Dyke s absence led by three of
the more capable men who
will
teach others what they have alreody been taught.
The problems seem to remain the same: Drinking a habit of their culture with
all the troubles that go
with
it; the consultation of Ngongas
witchdoctors
and the
accompanying rituals they
still
engage in contrary to Biblical teachings but so deep
ly
ingrained
in their lives
since early childhood that they are very difficult to put be
hind them; jealousy among the various leaders and some refusal to work with others
in unity. We believe that only prayer can overcome these grievous problems.
THE HIPPO
VALLEY
STORY
O N PEMBERTON
In 1963 Dr. Dennis Pruettond Mr. Jo hn C. Pemberton come to the V al le y to talk
to the directors of the Hippo Valley Estates. They wanted them to come down into
this virgin territory where we hod no
NewTestament
work at all and begin a medical
and an e duc at ion al work for t hei r employees After much discussion and t ra ve l be
tween Mashoko and Chiredzi the work
here
was opened
The work has g ro wn in n umbers and in spirit. Mr. Watson Mabono come down to
the
Lowveld in
1966
to workwith Mr Pember ton
Mr
Mabono was the first student
of
the
Mashoko Bible
College
now
the
Central Africa Christian
College
in F ort Victoria.
Mr. Joshua Mafa soon followed he was the second student at Mashoko Bible College.
We now hove eight fully trained ministers
here
in the Valley with a t ra in ed part-time
chaplain. There isstill
needfor
more. Some of these ministers
are
covering as many
as three preaching points
where
they could be used full-time. Since this is a t ransit
type community many of the Christians soon
move
on to
another
job in
another
com
munity and the church is growing in other areas Just like the e ar ly church the peo
ple
move
and take their Christ with them.
EUROPEAN EVANGELISM
This is a new field for many of the missionaries in Africa. We have found the
work
here
n
Chiredzi/Hippo Valley
to
be of great challenge. Many o
the
people
would
tell
you when
asked
about their
church affiliation that they
belonged
to.
. .or
. . .or. . .; butwhen itcame to church attendance that was something else. There
was
always the
same old
excuses
and
reasons
for not attending. V^en
the church of
Christ started to
hold
services many of the Europeans here looked and said they
won t last . Now we
are
in the process of building our church building. This is being
done without any assistance from the States completely by the people of the congre
gation here. Thecongregation has grown steadily and has proven to the community
that they mean to stay and do the work that is
here
to do.

Tremendous excitement has been building up during the last few days, as we con
sider the expansion of the ministry of Good News Productions.
In the 14
years
thus for inthe Rhodesion work, we
have
had the blessing of being
used of God in different programs. The original establishment of Go od News Pro
ductions in 1970 g re w out of see ing a great media in mobile units and film work for
our Lord. Theresponse has been tremendous, as the Gospel has
been
related through
films
and filmstrips when the mobile unit would take them into all types of a re as in
Rhodesia.
Ofrecent missionaries in
several
African countries
have invited
us to come
into their
countries
as
well
with t he m ob il e unit. C hr is ti an w or ke rs f ro m a round th e
world hove been Inquiring, encouraging, and showing us ways this ministry could be
extended to help in their fields of labor also.
Though
we ve seen the possibilities
and challenge, we found it hard to even think of leaving Rhodesia.

Our daughter Lynda s need for special help has made us give way to consider
ation of the many requests. Aswe do, we become more excited all the time. Some
have said that regardless of Lynda s need, itiooks like we would remain in the
U S
to shore the vision with others and implement a program to help in other places to
hove a similar ministry.
To
sum it up, the Good News Studios in Rhodesia are paid off. Two families will
be ready to go this year and assume responsibilities
which
require presence in Rho
desia. Many requests have been received from other countries to
expand
this minis
try. The U S isan ideal place from
which
to be of the greatest service. Lynda
is
in
need of help and we |ust don tfeel right in returning to Rhodesia with her. Churches
contacted thus far see great potential in expandingwhat we have been doing in Rho
desia toother countries. God hasopeneddoors, and fit pieces together in a fantastic
way. We
are willing
to do all we can, if you will continue to help.
May God continue to lead each of us in full commitment, so that we might re
deem thetimebringingglorytoGodthrough His marvelous power as it works among
the
nations
