TMa will primarily be done through an institution of higher learning. The schools here are OTmrcrowded; school buildings are not being built fast enough to accomodate school age pupils.

that is needed; that His name will be spread abroad in the hearts of men everywhere.

In this time that I have been in Minnesota, we have, acconplished our goals, ' The loan from Minneapolis was paid back, and we were able to purchas'e"i:he-W bus- that was mentioned in the last ne^Tsletter, I was able to get a 1963 bus-very good condition- made possible by the students at Minnesota Bible College, We are more thankful for this than they can know. Unfortunately, I was not able to save as much as we had hoped would be possible in this length of time, mostly due to the fact that winter in Minnesota was colder, harder, longer, and more expensive than usual this year. However, we are trusting the Lord to supply our needs and such a situation won't come up again.
Both Lloyd and I are looking forward to a sumer of hard work, first task will be

facing about 70+ children in Sunday School and I'm sure that will set me about looking for some help mighty soon, (SMILE) Any of you who are interested in helping out the Lord (and me) this summer would be more than welcome. Another item on this summers schedule is camp. We are looking fon-rard to this very much and we are planning on a very successful wedc in August, There x-dll be students -[ri.th us helping with camp and D"\,TS, so will not be idle during these
next few months.

I will ask you please to pray that Mary Beth, Kay, and I have a safe trip to Jamaica, We will be driving to Miami, then shipping the car and various other items that we have accumulated from there. As yet, I don't know if we will be flying on to Jamaica, or going

by boat.

It xfill depend on which shipping company takes the car, ( One of them is much

In Jamaica we were busi'.r planning for DVBS, evangelistic campaigns, camp, con

vention, seminar, and finding accommodations for the young people' who would be work
ing with us.

Pat being away, I did not have her to discuss things with and, believe me, it surely made msr getting thj.ngs done much harder. vJhen I drafted letters or circula".'s I could always leave them for her to tj^e. She would tie up the loose ends, but T\rith her gone I had to see to it myself. Often I was up late doing so, but Tvith irc
