Dear Brother Butler, NEWS NOTE REGARDING THAILAND WORK j
After nearly three yeara of initial effort which ahowed little in the way of vlaible
results, we are happy to report to the brethren in America tha.^ ^ been T^roken,
evangelism is bearinr fruit, and fifty-six aoula have been buried with their Lord in baptism
.urinr the first four days of 1955*
Perhaps the most diBCoura|ring aapect of any new mission work is the lack of visible re
mits in the early years. From the opening of the work in North Thailand in May 195 there
lad been a to'tal of only four baptisms before the end of 195^ and no local congregations had
seen established. Teaching has been patiently carried forward wi.|^h a two-fold goalto reach
the untouched animists and Buddhists with the message of salvation and witness to the
handful of denominationalists of the purity of Bible Christianity.
In .the past year a concentrated teaching program has been carried forward in the village
of Han '*op Waan. The majority of those in the village are lepers and the regular medical
treatment has provided opportunities for beginning a weekly Bible study. Within the village
.8 a small group of deniiminationalistfl who have obviously suffered from a lack of Scriptural
.caching. The re^-ular program of study was initiated ^y the C. W. Oallaways and continued
ly Misses linogene Williams and Dorothy Uhlip. when the Oallaways moved to the Yao work in the
lountains. largely as a result of this teaching some Buddhist villagers sent word 1 st week
;hat they wished t ^ baptized. ^ special session of teaching concerninp. the plan of salva-
iion was held on Jsinuary 2 and at the close the invitation was given to all Buddhists who
risned t bo Christians. Twelve Buddhists responded, nine of them adults. The invita
tion was then extended to any denominatio .alists present who, understanding, the Scriptural
ilan of salvation, wished to Be juried with Christ in baptism. Eighteen more responded and
10 ^in the same hour" we gathered on the tanks of the Nam Lao river and the angels in heaven
cjoiced while thirty souls emerged as new creatures in Christ Jesus.
The converts expressed their joy in their new-found salvation by gathering afterwards
'or a service of praise. A t the close of the service as we prepafced to leave, the headman
if the village declared his intention of b^g baptized if we would return on Sunday.
Another service of instruction v.'as held Sunday morning at t^ close of which twenty-
* '^x more professed their fai.^h in ^hrist and were baptized. This group conisted of all
le officers and most of the mem ership of the former denom^ational group. The baptismal
ervice was immediately followed "the keeping of the Lord s Supper. Thus the first con
gregation of Chttstians-only has been established in North Siam. In our rejoicing we are
humbled to think of the tremendous responsibility that lies ahead in teaching these babes
in Christ to become "rooted and grounded in the Word." We earneritly request the partner
ship in prayer of faithful Christians throughout the world.
Yours in His service,
"Repentance and remission of sins should be preached in Jesus' Name unto all the nations" Luke 24:47

Dear Mr.- McP.,
I received a copy of a letter v/ritten to Garland's pai^ents today
and Y/anted to tell yon the good newsv He wrote:
"God has blessed us during this past week above and beyond our highest
expectation. We have found our lack of faith rebuked by the marvelous
ansY/er to our prayers. Like any nev; work in a Buddhist country, v/here
there are language barriers, progress has been discouragingly slow, and
Satan has taimted us v;ith the question, "Is it worth it?"
As you imov;, Imogine Williams, and Dorothy Ilhlig have been conducting
a weekly Bible study at Ban Sop 'Waan for nearly a year. Although this is
not officially a leper village, about 5/7 of the population have leprosy.
We received a warm v/elcome and an invitation to begin teaching there
It has often been discouraging to see the lack of visable results. At
service after service the women have huddled far to the back of the tiny
dirt-floored, bamboo walled chapel, showing no sign of interest or com
prehension. We wondered if any of the teaching was reaching their hearts
Then Sunday before last some of them told Iraogene they v/lshed to become
Christians. V/e all made this a matter of special prayer*
Friday morning C.V/,, Imogene, Dorothy U. and I went to conduct an
all-morning teaching service, reviewing the entire plan of salvation, and
emphasizing the cost of becoming a Christian. At the close an invitation
was extended to the Buddhists present to openly confess their faith in
Christ. Immediately 12 stood up, 9 them adults. After these had con
fessed their faith, v;e extended the invitation to Denominationalists who
Y/ishod to become Christians only. The village headman's father jumped at
once to his feet and announced, "I accept," He was followed by the
headman's daughter, a girl of 12 or 13 years; the village midwife, most
alert and powerfiTl Y/oman in the village, stood up, and then others. At
the end of the service 12 Buddhists and l8 denominationalists had profe ssed
their faith* They wished to be baptized immediately, so we adjoTirned to
the beautiful Haw Lao River v/here 9 men, eight women, and 13 children, all
above 10 years in age, were bTnTied with their Lord, After the baptismal
service the new converts assembled at the little chapel for a spontaneous
service of praise.
As we departed the headman told us that if we v/ould return Sund.ay,
he also wished to be baptized. This, too, we made a matter of prayer,
and on Sunday morning we rode our bikes to the village v/ith high hopes of
baptizing 5 or 6 more people. Between Friday and Simday the officers and
membership of the denominational group had been in earnest consultation
and prayer about the matter. As a result, v/hen the invitation was given
there were 26 more persons, including all the officers and most of the
remaining^membership. Ihey also requested immediate baptism, and thus
he^denominational church passed out of existance, not by any official
action, but by individual_ decisions to completely obey Christ. Of the
I are now New Testament Christians. V/e need special prayer
that we may so^teach as to reach these also, and for wisdom in nurturing
the new babes in Christ. Our faith has been rebuked in that while we
have been praying for these very things we were surprised when God answered
beyond our asking.

^specially impressed on us lately. If we could be assured
that there are ^100 faithful Christians daily upholding individual ivorkers
on uhis field in believing prayer, great things could be done for the Lord."

$rou can publish any of it please emphasize the need they feel for our
prayers.

Dear Friends, ^ '
This is truly a letter of gladness and praise for God has brought me great happi
ness, showing me His plan in bringing me to this time and place, and setting an
unmistakable seal of blessing upon my life. Join me in a hymn of thanksgiving and
praise to Him of whom we affirm, "Thou wilt show me the path of life; in Thy
presence is fulness of joy."
I know you are waiting to hear the "news behind the news" and apologi2e for
keeping you so long. Alastair Macdonald (John) came to Thailand in November,
shortly after my last newsletter was written to you. His aim was to make a survey to
determine whether or not the work of preaching the Gospel here would be helped
greatly by the use of an airplane; he is one in a closely knit band of young men
whom God has asked to bring about quite literally thai "they shall mount up with
wings ..." To me it is wonderfully significant that I have been given to become
one in a partnership which is, through His grace, to bring about in an extremely
practical and concrete way the fulfillment of that conviction of need for urgency
which He used so strongly in bringing me to the field. These young men call them
selves the British Missionary Aviation Fellowship (John is Scottish, in case his
name hasn't already told you that!). Eager to serve, not missionaries especially, but
God, these men have no interest in simply making life on the mission field some
what easier. They are a prayer fellowship, as the following excerpt from a letter
rather indicates; "... we are greedy for an increasing volume of prayer, for the
M.A.F. has primarily a spiritual target, viz, enabling evangelization by making it
possible for missionaries to operate in places they could not otherwise reach."
"Wherefore brethren, look ye out seven men . . . whom we may appoint over
this business." Acts 6:3. As in those first days theChurch appointed men for special
tasks, so today there are specialist helpers such as doctors, nurses, and printers, and
now more recently, aviators, whose task it is to helpthe missionaries overcome many
obstacles to a wider extension of God's Kingdom as they carry out the Great Com
mission, "Go ye into all the world ..." All members of M.A.F. are consecrated
Christians skilled in flying and in aircraft maintenance. They serve by taking mis
sionaries to remote parts where rivers, jungle, or mountains make land travel labori
ous or impossible, and help them to live in such places by ensuring a supply of food,
mail, and equipment, and by dealing with sick emergencies. Days of tedious travel
by mule or dugout canoe are saved, reduced to hours or minutes by airplane, and
missions are allowed to expand and advance to needy unreached peoples. "And
other sheep I have, which are not of this fold, them also I must bring." John 10:16.
No one has any illusion about the Communist menace or the suddeness with
which the missionary door can be shut. Thailand is open and free to missions and
many who have had to leave China are finding their new field of service here. At
HENRY PRINTING C0. tUCENE, ORE
present language study still takes a heavy toll of time, but soon the missionaries
will be pushing out, opening new work. The last two or three years have seen the
beginning of work among the mountain tribes and as theterritory is unexplored (to
all mission intents and purposes), an aerial survey would be a real help. Later other
needs for air assistance may become apparent in connection with the tribal effort.
Many feel a mission planewould greatly expedite their plans.
Perhaps the most immediate need for the plane is with the leprosy work. A
Buddhist stronghold, this land is known among missionaries to be a particularly
difficult field, for the unresponsiveness of the people is almost appalling. One of
the reasons for this is probably because as a nation they have never truly known
great suffering or difficulty. Of late, however, a door seems to be quietly, steadily
opening, and this, through the hearts of those stricken with leprosy; people who
are aware, perhaps as keenly as human beings are able, the transitiveness of
earthly, material, things. The American Mission to the Lepers has the chargeof get
ting these people into small cooperative villages of their own where they work to
gether to support themselves without fear of transmitting their disease or being
outcast, and where they can be more easily treated effectively. Leprosy is not now
incurable, but treatment is a slow process requiring frequent and steady taking of
medicine over a long period. Meclicine is supplied through the A.M.L. and the
missionaries (of other missions) in each area have the opportunity to help by tak
ing responsibility for dispensing the pills, as it were. And here, it seems, is the
secret: as the lepers come week after week, perhaps for two, three years or more,
they receive not only their medicine, but Gospel messages for the healing of their
souls. Fruits are becoming increasingly apparent, and the director (A.M.L.), a
tireless, consecrated ser\'ant of the Lord, anxious to expand with more and more
colonies (Thailand is cursed with the disease) and push wide this door for the
Gospel, is eager for the help a plane would offer. Travel is his greatest hinderance.
Unlike the countries round about, this is a peaceful land where railways and roads
are freely usable but far from ideal. Although trains are economical they are fairly
slow, and crowded, and rail coverage is limited. Roads mostly very rough and
few are in the all-weather category, so the wet season causes major disruption for
about seven months every year.
In the past, use of airplanes in the work of missions has been hindered by the
two problems of cost and safety. Briefly, to be operated economically a plane must
be used every available hour, something a missionary is powerless to do if he spends
his time at his work. Safety is possible only when qualified engineers are available
to carry out efficient inspections at regular intervals. The Missionary Aviation Fel
lowship is able to erase these two difficulties by bringing all the missions on a field
into cooperation and providingthemskilled pilots and aircraft engineers.
Mr. Macdonald, as other men of "MAF", is a fully qualified aviator/engineer
and wherever we serve (in Thailand if God wills) his time will be well taken
with these two jobs. Just now he is working at getting governmental permission
to establish the air service. The Thai officials have had his request under considera
tion for some time and on this specific point we ask your prayers, feeing that God
would have us work here, yet seeking only to be willing to be used of Him, how
and where He wills.
I have continued on here at Chiengkam, learning-the language and coming to
know and understand the Thai people andtheir ways, andas I have been helping in
the work of the mission it has been also a preparation for the mission work that
lies ahead of me as I become John's help-meet and carry on the work at home as
God may lead.
Our Lord advised good will on the part of His disciples toward others who
sought to work in His name, saying, "He who is not against us is for us," and
Paul rejoiced in the proclamation of the name of Jesus Christ, whether from good
or even from wrong intent, only that His name be proclaimed. Although we (John
and I) believe that many of the missionaries err on certain points, yet we know
that from sincere hearts of love for Christ, they proclaim Him, and it is our con-
viction that if we but trust God to guide us, and follow His perfect leading, He
will use us to His own honor and glory. We long to see the unity of believers and
knowing Christ's own prayer for it, trust Him to use us to that end and to thesav
ing of manysouls.
May God keep you faithful to those tasks which he has committed to you, for
Jesus sake, and may the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, guard your
hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Your co-laborer in Him, Margaret M. Alldridge

Biography
Alastair John Macdonald was born of Scottish parents in Bengal, India, Decem
ber 27, 1924. John began his education in Scotlancl but circumstances directed other
wise and all except his earliest years of study were spent in London. He attended
Colet Court prep school and St. Paul's, and then entered the College of Aircraft
Engineering.
At the conclusion of his course he was called to serve with the Fleet Air Arm,
and was, during the war, an air engineer officer in Royal Naval Aviation. Mr. Mac
donald is an Associate Member of the Society of Licensed Aircraft Engineers, and
a Graduate of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
Flight training, taken after the war, was in direct response to God's call to himto
missionary aviation. His life was already surrendered to the Master for full time
service but now it became plain that the challenge of the mission field was to be
his. Reared by a wonderful Christian mother, John early gave his heart to Christ,
determining to serve Him with his whole life. Throughout his school years the
Crusaders Boy's Bible Class (a strong Christian youth work in Britain) afforded
him especially fine training in the Scriptures. Later he became an assistant leader,
workingwith the younger boys in a BibleClass and in their summercamps. During
the time occupied with aviation training he came in contact with an independent
Church of Christ in Southampton, England, and became convinced that he should
be immersed. It was there that he was buried with His Lord in the waters of bap
tism. (Should you wish, it would be very well in order for you to wn>e the church
in Southampton, c/o Pastor Philips, concerning their knowledge of John and his
fellowship with them.) Although his primary job on the field will be to give, as
it were, "wings" to the Gospel message, he is not at loss to preach the Word, anJ
has as his life's full motivation that true missionary spirit which seeks to win the
hearts of men to our matchless Lord.
Leaving Great Britain a year ago last December, he went to the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan where several months were spent assisting and observing MAF's work there,
and then continued on to French Indo-China for a sur\'ey of that field and as it
was to turn out, several months of flying. The work in Indo-China seemed, how
ever, less than what one planeshould do, and soon, bya "happening" that showed
quite plainly God's desire that Thailand also be surveyed, John was led to that task.
Now, with thesurvey completed, the need made apparent, he writes thus: " . . .you
saints who know how to pray can prevail against the devil, verily making victories
possible ... we depend on you in a very real sense. Are you willing then to pray
for our part in evangelising these two countries while there isyet time.^" (Since this
writing Northern Laos, that part of Indo-China which he was to s-^rve has closed,
except for two main cities. It is now Communist occupied territor)'.)

forwarding agent." Margaret M. Alldridge

VOLUME 2 NUMBER 2
NEWSLETTER
Dear Friends in Christ:
Our first year on the field has been filled with the joys of new
work, new places and new friendshpis. True, there have oeen test
ings of our faith, but the unspeakable satisfaction of bringing the
gospel message to a place and people where it is not known have far
outweighed the disappointments and setbacks.
In a field such as this, where the learning of at least two new
languages is almost a necessity, the first year' s activity could largely
be summed up in the one word STUDY. However, there have been a
number of interruptions in the form of triips to the mountains or
down-coxmtry. This letter is being written during the stops on a 3-day
oxcart trip to Phayao enroute to meet Miss Margaret Alldridge in
Bangkok. Miss Alldridge, who was refused permission to stay in
Burma and assist Dorothy Sterling, is a welcome addition to the
mission staff, especially since the Callaways and Imogene Williams
will be leaving for furlough in 1953.
The C. W. Callaway family expects to return to the U. S. next
spring. It has been more than six years since they left the States.
In that time, they have seen their plans for pioneering new works in
Burma and China thwarted successively by a new government and
Communism. Through the leading of the Lord they found a wide-open
door in North Siam's land of
Our Thai Language Teacher
An Unknown Tongue
In the Chiengkam eirea over a
dozen different languages and dia
lects are spoken. As new recruits
to the field, we can look forward
to little besides language study in
our first term of service. Since
the official language of the coun
try is Siamese, we plan to spend
our first two years in attempting
to gain a working knowledge of
this tongue.
Most Americans find a great
deal of difficulty in learning the
various tones. Siamese has six
different tones and the meaning
of a word depends on the tone
used. For instance, the word
"ma" with a level tone means
"come." A rising tone changes
the meaning to "dog" and with an
urgent inflection it means
"horse." "Ma" pronounced with
deep tone means "to pickle," a
dropped tone means "beautiful,"
and a sharp s h o r t inflection
transform? the meaning to
"fruit." It takes us a great deal-
of practice to get the proper tone
for eachword, butthe consequen
ces can be disastrous if one uses
the wrong tone.
Siamese i s totally different
from English in most ways butthe
language student takes comfort in
finding some Siamese words very
similar to English. "Office,"
"concert," and "die," for exam
ple, have nearly the same pro
nunciation and meaning in Siamese
as in English. Other words can be
learned by association. "Baa"
means "goat" and "gossip" means
"whisper." On the other hand
some words are totally inappro
priate. The Siamese word for
'pig" is pronounced "moo."
Special problems arise inpre-
senting the gospel message. In
referring to God or Christ, or
speaking of spiritual matters, an
entirely different vocabulary must
be used. This high language is
often difficult for uneducated peo
ple to understand. Yet, if common
words are used, one is considered
irreverent and lacking in respect
for God. Thus the tasK of bring
ing the light of Christ tothesim-
ple folks is a tedious and com
plicated one, requiring the ut
most in patience and persistence.
The difficulties in language,
the lack of trained native work
ers, and the stubborn resistance
of government-supported Bud
dhism combine to make this a
slow and apparently unrewarding
work. Yet we go forward in the
confidence that His message can
prevail against all these barriers
and that some day His praise will
ring forth in all the unknown ton
gues of North Siam.
An Unknown Tribe
Nearly a year ago we first
heard of the existence of an al
most unknown and completely un
civilized tribe reported to live in
the deep jungles south of Chieng-
kam. At first we were inclined to
disbelieve the reports buta care
ful inquiry into all reliable sour
ces of information has verified
their existence. These people are
called by the Tnai "Spirits of the
Yellow Leaves" because of their
practice of building their shelters
of green banana leaves. Whenthe
leaves turn yellow and conspic
uous the people desert them and
A Khamu Village
Deep in the Jungle
build new shelters. The jungle
folks are extremely shy and Hie
women and children are seldom
seen since they do not leave the
deep jungle. About once or twice
a year a small band of men comes
to Ban Haa, about 13 miles from
Chiengkam, to trade beeswax and
animal skins for cast-off clothing
and rice. This forms their only
contact with civilization. They are
wary of intruders and if their
shelters are discovered, they
are said to desert themandmove
to a new area.
