This little one was in our orphanage in the Congo.

Jamie with her hair done Jamie has been to the beauty parlor and has patiently endured the process.

Her adoptive family (mother and four other siblings) anxiously awaits her arrival in the greater Sacramento area. Dad is in the Congo and has been there for three weeks processing paper work.

Jamie with her hair in a net Jamie with her hair in a net which should help preserve the process.

Wouldn't you be proud to take her by the hand and lead her into your Church on a Sunday morning? I know that I would. She reminds of the little child actress, Shirley Temple. Jamie is a little Princess.

Next month I will be surveying our ministry there, teaching prospective pastors, examing the water supply and sending back some pictures of land which the Mission may purchase.

Ask me if I am excited?

It is Sunday PM


Yes, we were in Church this morning.


Heard a great sermon dlivered by Pastor Bill.


Came home for a light lunch.


I then booked round trip ticket for the flight from Sacramento to Washington, D. C. I am glad to have that done. I was spending to much time looking for bargains.


Tomorrow afternoon I have an appointment to meet with a lady who purchased Tupperware to sell and went out of business with a rather large inventory. She is planning on donating it to us to further the work in the Congo.


That is good news, because I am going to have a Pastors Seminar while I am there. The Pastor and men who want to prepare to be Pastors will need food while they are away from home. In the U. S. we are not inclined to think to much about feeding ourselves. I have attended a large conference for Pastors in Chicago. There they open the school cafeteria and seat 800 men at one seating. No problem. At another one in Vallejo, you can walk across the street and buy a burrito—no problem.


I have been told that in the Congo, if you get one meal a day you are doing well. Two meals is wonderful. Three means that you are rich.


I want to make sure that the men who come in from “the bush” have plenty of beans and some chicken while they are at the Conference. I want them to be fed physically and spiritually.


Tupperware sold will equal men fed.
