Graca e paz:

gracla y paz - grace and peace.

Paul, the old spiritual warrior sends this double greeting to several
churches. "Grace to the brethren and peace from God and our Lord Jesus
Christ" are the words recorded in Romans 1:7, God's unmerited favor to

God*s "saints" and peace from the "King of Peace". How wonderful and conforting are these words to us who know the protection and comfort of a loving God. Should not our hearts burst with expectation of God^s provision and will in our lives. God, who created the universe is inter ested in me particularly as a follower of Jesus. Wow it*s almost too much for me to comprehend. In whatever language you may see these words grace and peace, the meaning is the same.

The Board of Trustees of International Christian University met on January 16 and 17th on the premises of the College of World Mission.

Much discussion led to several suggestions and decisions.

The main purpose My

prayers and cooperation and best wishes accompany Bill in his new position.

The Board also decided to pursue immediately inmigration approval by the U.S. Government for the acceptance of foreign students. Strong suggestions indicated the feasibility of making the undergraduate program principally Spanish speaking. This doesn't mean that English speaking students will
be turned away. A year of concentrated missions courses will be offered

for graduates of Bible Colleges or others interested.

One of the highlights of my trip to the states was being able to see Dave. It had been over a year since I had seen him. He looked good and we shared four days together. He is thinking of just staying in the Army till August 1976. Keep praying for him that God will continue to lead and protect him.
Please pray for Doug Phillips one of our students at C.W.M. He was injured in a collision with a car while engaged in a bicycle race. He is a Sophomore.

It has been a real inspiration to have Ellen Thompson from Pennsylvania visiting
with us. She took some of her vacation time from U.S. Steel and is sharing it with the Lord's work here. May her number increase. What do you do with your vacation
time?

Brethren, may I recommend to you highly that missionaries be encouraged to en gage in intensive Language Study in preparation for their given field of service. The Spanish Language Institute in San Jos6 is excellent for Spanish - speaking countries.

What is the Robison Family doing now? Well, I am teaching at the College and beginning to reach out in Spanish witnessing. Sarah helps out in the Library, grade
school or wherever needed, Mary Lou is studying.
Please pray with us as God indicates His will for us in the future. There are three possibilities that are being considered. We want to be utilized for God to the
utmost.

Thank you for your continued love.

SPECIAL

BULLETIN

March 1, 1975

Dear Faithful Supporters, The Robison Family will be moving to Johnson Bible College the first part of August of this year. I have been extended an invita tion to become the missions professor of JBC at that time and I have accepted the invitation. I ask your prayers for us as we move into this new phase of the ministry for Christ.

^oAaJt

On July 26 of this year we will complete a three-year term of service in the San Juan area. In beginning, I agreed, along with the other founders of International Christian University to stay with this new project at least for the first three years. This I have done. Pray for the Administration, Faculty, Staff and Student body of the College of World Mission. Particularly pray for Bill Loft, the new President of C.W.M. My leaving here in August no way affects my total support of ths program in Puerto Rico.

I ask you to please continue your present support of the Robison Family through July of this year. We will continue our mission outreach during these next five months in Puerto Rico.
There will be more news and further explanation of this de cision in the next three Robison Reports. If you have any further

questions, please write to me at our present address and I will be

glad to answer them. A small motto graces my desk and has been a comfort and a challange through the years. It says,"There are no simple solutions, just intelligent choices". How true. Thank you for praying with us in the past. Keep it up. May God continueiic bless you,

The Robisons

Dear Rope-holders:

By now you have received the Special Bulletin that was dated March 1, 1975. As I said in that letter to you, The Robison Family will be moving to Johnson Bible College In August of this year. I will become the missions professor there. There are questions that some of you may
have about this move. I will try to answer some of them now.

What about your mission support?

Why go to Johnson? In all of the mission work that I have under taken since 1954 the primary question that I tried to answer was. Where

Dear Brethren:

"Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God^ through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our in troduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God." Rom 5:1,2. This passage makes my mind boggle.

How can we thank all of you friends, brethren, Churches,

and Sunday School Classes for your faithfulness to the Rob-

ison Family since July 195^?

Without your prayers and support,

it would have been impossible to have served as we did during

these 21 years. May God reward you richly and completely as only He can! Thank you for your trust in us. Continue to pray for me as I teach missions at Johnson Bible College, my new
ministry.

Many times I have related to others how God has put his protective hand upon the Robisons during these years. We
never had a serious illness while on the field. I had a touch

of "hepatitus" while on one furlough.

Several accidents which

could have proven very serious turned into praise to God who

did the impossible. Thank you Jesus-Thank you Heavenly Father for your protection and loving care during these past years.
How we covet your continued care, Lord!

Thank you Lofts, Poormans, Reeces, Yorks, Dyes, Kings,

Lofts Jr., Grimm, Freese, Zuelli and Fowlers for your fellow ship while in Puerto Rico. Riveras, thank you for your love.
Andinos, thank you. Many were our brethren and friends there.
