Please send along with this form copies of recommendations from churches which will encourage
other churches to support your missionary work. There are churches which will not allow a
visiting missionary to speak unless a church recommendation can be shown. Since it is impos
sible for any one person to know all Christians in the world, this recommendation by a respon
sible New Testament church is a vital help in persuading others of your worthiness and the value
of your mission. Mission Services stands ready to help you inform HORIZONS readers about
your church recommendations. Since the church is sending you to the mission field (Acts 13:1-3)
and will help provide the necessary needs on the field, naturally the church should share the
credit in your missionary ministry. One of the ways that the church can do this is to share their
conviction regarding your missionary ministry with others. Certainly, their words will help
convince others regarding the worthiness of your work. Please help MISSION SERVICES to
spread your news through HORIZONS, Packets and Slide library by sending your church recom
mendations as soon as possible. Thanks. Send what you have now, and the others later.

to accomplish on the mission field? Your own story in some detail might be influential in leading
others into fulltime service (Use an extra sheet if you need more space):
The main reason is because God said "Go into all the World".

The most important thing and that is to help all of us who work in the
hospital ministry to lead souls to Christ and to Salvation. Last year we
saw over 4,000 patients at Chidamoyo Hospital. IThat better opportunity

You^might ask who is doing all of this work now. Dr. Erickson, Mrs. Sue
Judy Is needed with a capital N, Won't you help her and us by contributing
toward her living link, service link and travel funds? With her added help all
of us can give more time to the most important part of our work and that is
telling people of our Saviour Jesus and pointing them the way to salvation. If
you can't give, pray that others will give.

_pear Christian Friend^:
We, Pat Kfinnev and myself, were met by Dr, Erickson, Nurse Madonna
Burget, Nurse Martha Raile, Mrs, Jerry Saith and Marilyn Richards,
Having known Madonna and Marilyn in the States, it was quite a reunion
for me.
Madonna and Pat drove the 200 miles to the Mission, but I flew out with
Dr. Erickson in the mission plane. So my first sight of my new home
was from the air and a very thrilling sight it was, I was caught up
by mixed emotions as we set doxvn on the airstrip so many miles from
all that had been familiar to me. We were welcomed very warmly by the
rest of the missionaries and by several Africans who came running from
their homes around the airstrip.
The following day I became officially the secretary of Chidamoyo

then I am being trained to work in the drug room. This last duty is
one that is nuite different from anything I have done before and thus
is a great challenge to me.
The African staff at the Hospital are all Christians and speak English,

what to say and in this way I have learned several Shona words and
greetings.

department at 8:30, Of course, I speak with the aid of an interpreter.
Pat and I each have started a new women*s group in two villages, who
have ,iust been waiting for us to arrive.

of two groups.
Then I have also been helping with the ladies who meet
For their first nro.iect the ladies there have decided to make
aprons. I buy all the material, needles, thread and supplies for
them, and thev pay for what they use. Did you ever buy material for
40 aprons? Then at each meeting we have a time of wonderful fellow
ship as we study C-od^s word together through flannelgraph lessons,
ob.iect lessons and singing. The first time I met with the ladies at
Chivakanenyama I told them that I could not speak Shona and that they
would have to be patient xMith me until I learned to speak it. After
the meeting they came up to Miss Burget and told her that they were

they proceeded to speak to me in Shona and make me repeat what they
said, and lau'^hed when I mlspronouncep their words. They are a fine
