YOU ARE WRONG!

If you think that some organization, church, individual or anything is guaran teeing the financial needs of the Gospel Broadcasting Mission to finance the work except YOU, the Christian people, and the

You are wrong if you believe that we the

You are wrong if you think we are receiv ing any support for our own living expenses
from the contributions.

You are wrong if you think we are able financially to pay these bills or do any more borrowing in our own name which we have
had to do.

We need your help! If contributions are not forthcoming it will mean going off the Air in Europe, besides us being liable for more debts than we could ever hope to pay alone. It would mean

You are wrong if you say, "it is not my responsibility" that the work in Europe of evangelizing for Christ through these pro grams and personnel in Europe is not mine. It will receive a blow from which it may never recover if these programs have to go

WHAT IS YOUR VERDICT? THE VER

We will be forced to allow these pro grams to go off of the air unless a greater

This issue of Listen is showing the cooper ation of Missionaries in Europe with the Gospel Broadcasting Mission, some to sow and some to reap. Their willingness to put all of their energies and materials togeth er for the common cause of winning souls to Christ and his church is a great and beautiful example of unity of purpose. Each is a master in his own field of endeavor, yet they reach out to help each other that souls may be won for Christ wherever they
are found. How pleasant it is for brethren to work together in unity.

Do you believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Light? Then flood the maU with your dollars to "Send the Light"' by the way of mighty radio waves to preach the Gospel in Europe. That your congregation, class or mission ary circle can afford to give a little more so that you can contribute at least $5 per month so that 20,000 people can continue to hear the Gospel preached each week? Can you imagine where $5 per month could reach so many people with the Gospel? Be a "Wave Holder" to 20,000 people.

the range of unassisted natural apprehen sion, can be made known only by Divine

Colossians 1:26, to which you refer, is a very clear example of this. However, in revealing the no-longer-hidden (or partially revealed) plans of salva tion, the Gospel, God certainly does open to our finite minds aspects of His infiniteness
which are beyond our limited abilities to

Since the Bible is the inspired record of God's revelation, I am confident you agree it is to be examined and accepted in its en tirety.

goes about traveling to Churches, classes, camps and Daily Vacation Bible schools,
wherever invited, to inspire by talks, pictures, tape recordings and other material of the broadcasts by flannelgraph and by their literature and their publication
"Listen."

In 1945 we began publicizing Europe as a

Mission field. Because of the circumstances

of the wars, it was more and more apparent of this need and also because of the appeal in "My Experience With Prayer" by our foster son and nephew, Merwyn Greene, who was killed in action in France, July,
1944. At that time there were no mission

aries so supported by Missionary funds preaching the faith "once for all delivered." We began to call for recruits to go to Europe after the War and evangelize in Europe. We had some good response to this plea but after the War there was no one ready to go and interest dwindled until very little if any funds were coming in.

While there they had a booth and presented the work of Gospel Broadcasting Mission. It was here that a fine Christian young couple, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cuthrell, volunteered to help them in raising funds in the Cincinnati area while they are finishing Bible college training at C. B.

churches everywhere are continually "Searching the Scripture" so that they may

They talk and live the Word of God in their social times, in many study clubs or classes where questions are heard and freely discussed. We really had a spiritual feast in all the gatherings. It seemed as though we always had lived among them. They treated us as though we were as young as they or as precious silver, or maybe antique glass. We loved every minute of it. This is a wonderful field for the growth of the church. The brotherhood should help these beginning churches more for almost as soon as they can get a good start and a building they become self supporting. Thus another congregation can be born in some other place by the work of Mr. Kile and Go Ye Chapel. Ob what a vast and neglected field. And besides that great area, with so comparatively few loyal Churches of Christ, there are New England States with perhaps only one church. The fields are white unto the harvest. "Pray ye the Lord

The work of preaching to the world is a task of overwhelming proportions wheii looked on from the standpoint of the number of people out side of Christ and the number of missionaries working in the fields. How Shall They Hear?
From God's word we have come to under

stand that two elements are important to evangelize the world: These are the preach er proclaiming the word and the people hearing the word. "How shall they hear? ' In the first century Paul used direct con
tact with his audiences and indirect com

munication by sending letters to be read in the churches. Today we can only hear Paul and the other evangelist through these letters and as you well know ". . . . these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that be

would state that the physical presence of a

man preaching the word is not imperative to salvation but the hearing and believing
and obeying the word is essential. No preacher has ever saved anyone but the word he preached brought them to their Maker. "I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Now I am not say ing the preacher is not needed or is not

Preaching and the Pen Paul went throughout the world preaching and teaching from city to city. When he was unable to go to certain people, he would use the pen and write a letter asking that the faithful would cause the epistle to be
read in all the churches.

Why all the argument about the preach er's presence? Well, for some reason our people have lost sight of supporting any missionary program which does not directly support a man on the field. There are many worthwhile aids used to evangelize the world and each according to God's word, jf doing His work, should be supported by His people. As an example, if you were to send a son to college and pay only for his clothes, lodging and food you have only half sup

one who has searched for the words of life, it is as one who was deaf receiving his hearing and as one blind receiving sight for the first time. This wonderful experience is being witnessed all over Europe today because of a new evangelizing aid which
permits the words of God to reach millions
