HAVMII is now Americans 50th State as of March 12, 1959.

We hope and pray

that this will be good for HAWAII. We take this opportunity to tell you about what your investment in HAV/AII can mean for Christ, New Testament
Christianity, and you. There is before all the missionaries of the Church of Christ and Christian Church in HAWAII, a great challenge to establish a firm foundation for the Message of Jesus Christ. All the missions and churches on the Island are doing an important service in many broad as pects of establishing the Church of Christ. Vie feel that this makes your mission dollar a "well-spent" dollar wherever it goes on the Island. There is also the opportunity and privilege for us to work together with all the other workers for the advancement of the total work as a unit seeking to bring to people here, Jesus Christ, The ministers meet once a month for encouragement and 'fellowship, and the planning of various events such as camp. The churches have singspirations at regular intervals. The next one is to be held at MAKAHA, May 1st. Island wide youth rallies are held every three months on a Sunday afternoon. We just had one April 5th, in which MAKAHA, coming up from "0", brought home the attendance trophy with twelve young people present. Summer and Christmas camps are a regular feature of the churches also. During the summer there is a week for the Seniors and a week for the Juniors. A three day camp is held for Seniors during the Christmas vacation. All these things permit fellowship and the opportunity of keeping the various churches in touch with each other. To gether growth in Christian Living is increased for all, adults and youth.

America is a Christian nation. Its 50th State is not and it has a long way to go. There are gathered here people from eleven-plus different countries all of which are missionary supplied lands. HAV/AII needs your support - And we at MAKAHA have a work to do. WE ASK YOU TO CONSIDER V/HAT YOUR INVESTMENT MEANS FOR CHRIST, NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANITY, YOU, AND THE LORD'S V/ORK AT MAKAHA, HAWAII'S Om "VALLEY OF THE SUN".

YOUTH and MISSIONS

In a previous issue of the bulletin v/e mentioned the interest and sup port of the Youth Group of the Lado ga Christian Church in Indiana. Last month v;e mentioned the Youth Group

of the Mountain Viev7 Church, Phoenix.

This month vje give recognition to the Youth Group of the Chandler Church, Chandler, Aria. This group has maintained regular interest and support for some time nov/ gs has the Chandler Church. VJe're just real happy to have the interest and love of this group and the others men tioned. It is most gratifying to know that these young people and many more like them, are concerned not only for the MAKAHA v/ork but for the preaching of the Gospel across the v/orld, and are DOING something

The second thing concerns our teach

Hawaiian conditions. As we have attempted to point out in previous pro

successes and disappointments. In a sense the picture is paradoxical. Sleek advertising calls these Islands the "Paradise of the Pacific", haven

For the Gospel of Christ it is a haven of godlessness bol

Oriental (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) Buddhism grounded in a modern atmosphere of Americanism, unlike that of Japan itself, composes a large percentage of belief; Idolatrous Roman Catholicism among three other high percentage races (Puerto Rican, Portugese, Filipino, etc.-These three home

The purpose of this is to emphasize the need for patience and faithfulness on the part of both missionary and "home front".
