BILLS FAMILY ARRIVE IN KOREA

The pretty 22 year old, brown haired, blue eyed, popular secretary at Lake Region Christian Assembly last summer will be serving with the Christian Radio Mission in Pusan, Korea by October if present plans
work out.

It is a long move, with far more than just miles involves, from Texas to Korea but for the Bills fam ily it was finally completed in December. There were delays in the states, including last

AMERICAN ADDRESS: 804 MISSISSIPPI, AMARILLO, TEXAS Pusan, Korea January, 1957
Dear Friends in America,

Well we made it! It has been a long trip in miles and in time. But by the time you read

this our family will be settled in our house in Pusan. We want to thank every one of you who have made this possible. And especially we are greatful to all those who sent gifts so badly needed during the last weeks we were in the states.

We are very pleased with many things that have developed since we were here in Korea almost two years ago. The people seem better clothed and apparently with more to eat. There is less of the dazed wandering about that was so noticed in crowds after the invasion. Progress can be seen in many building activities. There is a sense of permanency not so obvious before. The people are planning for and are working for a future. Still there is a real open heart and mind toward the Gospel. Those newly accepting Christ need much guidance and teaching. But then that is what we are here for. More clearly than
ever before the redio station is needed and we must not fail the Lord in this opportunity.

We are just beginning what will be the hardest and busiest years of our life. There is so
much that must be done before the station will be on the air. We believe that the Lord has

us here for His purposes and we are not alone. Do remember to pray that we will have the patience and courage to move steadily forward.
But if anything at all is to be accomplished for the Lord here we must have our continued support. As I write this on Christmas day there is still nearly three thousand dollars due on on our freight bill and not nearly that much money in the general fund from vdiich it must be
paid.

Then for some reason last month only a few hundred dollars came into the building fund. The number of people who had led us to believe they would give every month should have sent in
several thousand dollars. Without this we are stuck!

One of the next things we must do is to bym land land and this is a very large

One of the next things we must do is to buy land and this is a very large item. We of course do not have the money on hand to do it. We are counting on all of you who know about this
work to stand with us. We can go ahead only so far as you go.

All offerings can be sent to the address given above. However personal letters, (no packages of any sort).can be sent to us c/o Christian Radio Mission, A.P.O. 59, San Francisco, Calif. Regular mail and packages can be sent to our house address, 330 3Ka Tong Dai Sin Dong,

SEGGELKE FAMILY TO CRM

FROM KOREA

Last summer "Wave Lengths" carried instead of a picture on the front page a blank with the remark "Maybe this should be a picture of you, announcing plans to go to Korea with the Christian Radio Mis sion." The picture on this page of the Joe Seggelke family is the result of this fine young man and his family deciding that it should be them. The Christ

and Maxine have been invited to come to Korea and

"Things are going well, but slowly" is the way Alex describes the first month of the Bills' family
in Pusan. There are a multitude of details invol

ved in getting a foreign family settled on a mis sion field. In dealing with so many bureaus and Government agencies and offices, and there is red

AMERICAN ADDRESS: 804 MISSISSIPPI, AMARILLO, TEXAS

Pusan, Korea

16 January 1957
Dear Friends,

Do you remember how in the early church there came a time v^en the Apostles were troubled about the time consumed in the business of details of dividing the food among all the people? So they appointed deacons to take care of the business so thsy could give themselves to the ministry of the Word and Prayer. Well, something of the
same thing faces a missionary on the foreign field. We have been here in Korea for about a month now. Our job here is to proceed to get a Christian Radio station on the

air. But instead we have been involved in a multitude of details, getting through
customs, even finding all of the boxes of freight took two weeks of red tape, and the business of getting a foreign family settled in Korea. Today for instance a whole wall
of the house has to be torn down in order to get some cabinets into the kitchen. It will give you an idea of our space when we could not get a 36 inch item around the

house and into the back but had to come into the front and remove weills to get to the
kitchen on the back part of the house. Fortunately the walls are sinply of bamboo
sticks and mud with plaster over them.

But by the time you read this we will be settled, the girls will be. in school, most of the red tape and registerations with governments, bureaus, offices, police, city, and all the rest will be done and we will be ready to make the next step. That
is to find and buy the land on which the station and houses for the new workers will
be built.

On second thought buying the land is not the next step. The next thing is up to
you. There is not nearly enough money on hand to buy land. This one item may cost as much as $14,000. And really nothing more can be done until we have the funds. But we
are counting on all of our friends and if you will be led of the Lord in this matter just the right amount of money will be on hand at just the right time.

Money from the ""Fifty Cliibs" will, of course, in time be enough to buy land but
we need to act as quickly as possible, so we call on all of our Christian Radio Mission friends to make this next forward step with us.

We rejoice so much in the faithfulness of all of you who have sent us out and are

making possible our work here. And especially we thank you who Pray for us and this
work for Christ.

When William Carey went to India, he said, "Yonder in India is a rich gold mine; I will descend and dig, but you at home must hold the ropes." They must be prayed out into the harvest field (Matthew 9:38). Since they are in the de vil's territory, they must be sus tained by prayer. Some church or some group of Christians must stand behind them financially. Some one must pay the cost of their plane or boat ticket to the field.

They must have money for homes, for food, and for clothing. It is in this sense that they must be sent, Missionary Crusader
