Isnit it wonderful how the Lord carries out His will in our liVes if we only let Him have His way? As we entejr the New Year of 1967, we pray.that each of you will "give yourselves to the Lord" in such a way that you vdll experience a joy and poace which cannot be explained with mere words, but by action in the cause of Christ, This has
been our personal experience since we began our travels to raise support for the
mission field not quite two months ago.
VTOT WE DID DURING DcCE:.EER
Since our last newsletter we-have visited churches in Florida, North Carolina, and
Virginia,. I'fe want to thank those churches for their interest in the Chilean mission
work, and their concern for our efforts to go to Chile in April. V.'e don't want to begin now. to use this letter for bragging on folk, but v;e feel that we must mention the efforts of a young minister, Bro. Hoyt Johnson of Reidsville, N. C., who did such
a wonderful job of arranging our schedule during December. Everyivhere v;e went, we had a vyonderful reception. Praise God for people vdth a missionary vision,
FIN/vNCIAL REPORT
Everyone has been asking about our monthly support pledges, and we feel others might
be interested. At this time most of the churches we have visited haven't v/ritten to
give a definite amount, but say they v.fill. The definite commitments amount to only $228j but we have promises of support, without board action as yet, bringing-the
total to over $300 per month, I'/e need a total of $600 each month for personal support and Service link. V.'e are still hoping that we can raise as much as possible of the other $400 per month for new church evangelism, before our anticipated
their budget starts in January. Ite must have a total of $2,500 for travel to Chile,

ing that came about in December, but wasn't given to us until January 1, 1967, was the gift of a check for $588, from the employees of Reynolds &Smith, Inc., Moore Haven, Florida, as a Christmas gift to our work. This came about through Debbie's sister, Janis Click, who is an employee. This check will nearly cover the cost of

and down by the river there were hundreds of people. Most of them had never seen a ' baptism.- I did the baptizing, and Bias preached to the ]^ople. It was quite a thrill

A CHILEAN FUI^IERAL
one in the church has died, but a lady that used to attend irregularly, died recently in the Calama hospital. We had just visited her the day before, and found her at the ppint of death. Because of our visit, the people in our town district asked us to help with the funeral. We had to go to the morgue to get the body, idiich was on a crude table wrapped in only a sheet. It was necossary to go to the city offices to get a free coffin, in which we placed the body. They don*t embalm here unless the people are very rich. We took the body to the Calama church building, and placed the coffin in the middle of ihh room. Ihen it was necessary to dress ' the
candles around the coffin, which had been nailed shut (being nothing but a wooden box), At this point, we didn't know what would happen. It ended that night at about 2 fi.M. with all the people sitting up with the body, and having coffee with bread, and, also, they sang a lot of hymns. I (Carl) got tired of this so went to bed, and about 30
minutes later everyone else wont to bed at their homes.
