Dear Co-Workers with Christ:
We are encountering some very rough going at this point in the
great and all-important work of God. Christ never intended our
Mission for Him to be easy. Like a voyage by ship at sea, we might
encounter some very stormy weather. God allows these obstacles to
test our faith, develop patience, stiffen character.
I thank you, dear Co-Workers, from the very bottom of my heart
for the fine and generous response of many of you--so far--to my
last letter. BUT we cannot work out of this situation immediately
--and now a new obstacle has been thrown in our path.
For one thing, persecution is setting in against proclaiming
Christ's Gospel with such power every night in Australia. Right
now we are in a desperate struggle to stay on. Jesus Christ opened
this powerful door for us in Australia a little more than six
months ago. I do not believe He will allow MEN to close it--UNLESS
He considers that AUSTRALIA HAS ALREADY HAD HIS GOSPEL DECLARED AS
A WITNESS, as far as He requires it! I need your DILIGENT,
EARNEST, BELIEVING PRAYERS! If we lift up our voices TOGETHER,
urgently, with real concern, God will hear us and answer!
And another serious situation has developed right here on our
headquarters college campus.
So far we have purchased only about two-thirds of the ground
we must have to complete our college campus. As it is now, there
are lots, or strips of property we have not yet acquired, IN
BETWEEN portions of our campus. Recently a certain real estate
broker has been trying to buy two or three such blocks of ground,
right in the midst of our campus, for a client who wishes to build
a FACTORY on this ground. Now, once a factory is built, jutting
into the midst of our campus, we could probably never buy this
ground at any price--and the entire lovely college campus would be
ruined.
About two months ago one of these properties went on the
market. We had to buy it, or see the factory go up. Backing up to
this property is a half-block dead-end street off of Terrace Drive,
the very center axis street in the midst of our grounds. We
already owned all the property on both sides of this short dead-
end street except one 50-foot lot. It is necessary for us to
