As
we fellow shipped

studied
God's

pertook
of

Among

are
the only young men
T / h o t i . k e
a firm stand against the

News
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

secretary to help with all our correspopdence, and to assist us in

all of the

in one big class.
But
the teaching could
be
so
much more effective, if,this group could be divided

classes—age
groups*

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

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

There
is
a
saying, "The Show must go o n > " And in our case the Lord's work did#
Our neighbor girl
stepped in
and took over in Janice's place, as
best
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,"
