"We are very thankful to God that He continues to open doors
where once we as mere humans could see no possible way of reaching
the great areas of humanity. We are of such limited vision until
God reveals to us His plan and then how very simple and natural
it appears to us."
Joan A. Maher

"It's a miracle how God is opening doors and then giving you
the strength and courage to walk through those doors. I know that
this contribution is one of the best investments that I have ever
made."

"I explained AICF and the goals of HUMAN POTENTIAL. The
congregations' enthusiasm exploded in spontaneous applause at
the conclusion of the report. I was somewhat stunned, as this
area is quite conservative. However, I was also very encouraged
and thought you would be as well."
George Panteleeff, Minister
Arkansas
Those letters are a real encouragement to me.
Now for some highlights of this latest trip, although I think
Mr. Rader has managed to get reports to you as we went along.
First, at The Hague, Holland, we had a most important luncheon
and evening dinner, all sponsored by Judge Nagendra Singh, India's
representative to the World Court of International Justice. At the
luncheon were several justices of the World Court and their wives.
The evening reception and dinner were attended by about 200 of the
most distinguished people in Holland. I think that I have never
seen a more distinguished-appearing group at any one time in my
life. It was a most significant honor to be able to address an
audience of such important men and women, and they received the
message with real interest.
Then we flew on to Nairobi, on the east coast of Africa, about
half way down the continent from Egypt. I won't repeat details,
since I'm sure many of you have read Mr. Rader's reports before
now. But I do want to mention the two important meetings with
President Kenyatta, one of the world's outstanding leaders and
rulers. He is just my age (calendar age) -- although we both
appear much younger, still full of energy, vitality and vigor. He
has been a very close personal friend of Haile Selassie of Ethiopia,
now deposed from his throne and held in custody by the military
government which overthrew the Emperor's kingdom about a year ago.
