We see no radical change taking place in Toronto Christian Mission in the years ahead, as far as the thrust of the work is concerned. We anticipate con tinued evangelistic work in Canada, but are aware by financial support, corres pondence, and interest when on speaking tours that our supporters want us to do all humanly possible to increase our work in Europe. This will be the general direc

Greater doors opened and greater steps on faith were required. In the 70's we shall continue our policy of entering every door God opens for us.

Christian Mission to establish a "Cliristian

PERSONNEL CHANGES

Hoskens to Toronto
Robert and Cheryl Hosken are now serving as missionaries with Toronto Christian Mission. While he is presently helping in our printing work, we anti cipate liis participation in the expanded mission work in Europe. Bob, who is 26 years old, accepted Christ in his mid-teens and even though he had not been exposed to "the Chris tian church-church of Christ" position, while he was in the U.S. Army he began calling himself a "Christian only". He took a one-year intensive interpreter's course in the Russian language while in the Army. Bro. Huk says, "He speaks without an accent! " He spent sufficient time in Germany to also learn that lan guage. He majored in Central and East European studies in the University of Colorado, from which he graduated in
1967.

CAMPER FOR EUROPEAN WORK

travel into eastern Europe. After careful

consideration, a decision has been made to purchase the camper pictured here. An automobile dealer in Stuttgart had his service manager take a van pre

use, two battery electrical systems, gas heater for both the camper and a lent that goes with the camper, etc. The big question was, "How much''" Obviously this vehicle was exactly what was needed but the cost would be prohibi tive. The owner had $ 8000 in the vehicle, for equipment, plus labor costs which had been absorbed into the busi ness. When he learned of our work, he said. "I'll sell it to you for one half

most important purchases and anticipate many blessings as it is used.

Dear Friends,

Often I say, "We must slow down a bit. Next month won't be so busy, " Lenora always responds,
"Oh, yes? Just wait and see!" And sure enough "next month" is busier! If February proves to be busier than January, I rather doubt that we'll survive.

We are in the midst of an aggressive recruiting program to add personnel to Toronto Christian Mis sion to implement decisions made by the missionaries and Advisory Committee in December. The
basic decision is '/tio, continue the Canadian work and expand the European work. " To do this means

we must have help since all the missionaries are already working beyond capacity. To do this re cruiting, we have made telephone calls, written letters, had prospective missionaries come to Tor
onto for discussions, and have traveled to the U.S. to talk to some prospective missionaries. Many

hours have been spent on this, and results can already be announced. Other prospects are seeking the Lord's will as they consider using their life as a missionary. Please pray with them for guidance.

Alan LaBue and his family have decided to move to Toronto from Hamilton, Ontario, to-give leadersliip to the Canadian phase of the work of T. C. M. His six years in Canada, plus his dedication and ability, qualifies him exceptionally well for this big responsibility. His move to Toronto will give
renewed vigor to the Canadian work and allow me to give more attention to the European work,

Linda Romesburg is moving to Toronto from Pittsburg to work in our office as secretary. She grad
uated from Kentucky Christian College last spring and spent one summer as a mission intern in Europe. Kei* interest in Europe will likely lead her into the European phase of the work in tiie future.

In addition to regular activities, (1) year-end receipts have been prepared and mailed; (2) several
hours have been consumed by planning sessions for the June Missionary Group Tour; (3) plans for the extended missionary tour by Lenora and me are being made; (This will keep us in Europe after the June tour until November.) (4) beginning work of giving up our apartment in Toronto is under way; (5) additional office space required carpentery work and moving of eqiipment; (6) careful thought is being given to the Lincoln Christian College student tour sponsored by the Mission when
they will be witnessing to U. S. and European college students in Europe this summer.

Last September on^he missionary tour, Lienora and I met a young Australian couple in Rumania.
Their determination to "see the world" had led them to London where they worked a few months, quit

their jobs, and traveled into Europe. They planned to come to Toronto soon. On arrival this month they contacted us. While seaorohing for an apartment and employment we kept them in our home and
were able to introduce them to Christians at the Keele Street church. We find it exciting as we con

sider Lenora and metwo American citizens living in Canadawitnessing for Christ in Rumania

to two Australians living in England and bf^ir^ able to lead them to churchbackhome! How God works!
All of these plans and blessings are possible because Christians like you stand behind us so faith fully with prayer support and financial assistance. Just this week I talked with a Toronto business man who is well acquainted with our work. When I told him our income, he couldn't believe we could accomplish so much on such a small amount of money. It is possible only because the mission aries receive barely a living wage, and because God multiplies the effectiveness of the dollars in response to our prayers and the prayers of thousands like you. We say over and over, "Thank God for His guidance and for faithful friends like you. "
Serving Him and you,

He knew that we had been praying for a printer and a bookkeeper. In fact in a Thursday prayer session at the Mission special prayers had been uttered for God to supply these needed laborers.
In the very next mail came a letter from Margaret suggesting the possibility of their making a move and listing their qualifications. Gene Dulin arranged his schedule to visit with them, and they in

John Hedrick Director of Mission Information

Since Gene and Lenora Dulin estab lished Toronto Christian Mission in

happy she was to

be involved in the

work, and how she wished everyone could be here to experience the excite ment and catch the vision. I heartily agree with her. This special issue of the Report, with the soundsheet and pictures, is an
effort on our part to convey to you in a very personal way some of the activity we are doingfor Christ. We want you to "catch the vision." "experience the
excitement" and "be involved in the work." When this happens you'll remember

To carry out the aggressive five-fold ministry of Toronto Christian Mission requires participation by many individ uals and congregations in significant ways. Our work in (1) Church Develop ment, (2) Youth Activities, (3) Russia and Europe, (4) Radio Evangelism, and
(5) Printing Ministry requires numerous personnel who must have salaries. Each department must have funds to finance the work. Regular monthly contributions
are needed if we are to continue the

1957, one principle they have followed has been, "supporting churches and friends must be kept fully informed
about the work of the Mission." It is not unusual to have mission committee

work now being done. To expand the work as planned means many more reg
ular contributors must be found. Per

haps you can help in this way.

Special projects needing adequate

financial undergirding in the next two months include: (l)The Camper - $4000: (2) Bibles, Literature and Benevolence this summer - $3000: (3) Russian Radio Broadcast Fees - S5000; (4) Summer Evangelistic work in Europe for Dulins, Hedrick, Huk, and Thackston - $6000. This means we need $18,000 for the

members and other supporters say, "Your Reports, letters, financial state ments, clear outline of goals and ex planation of activities are great. Keep

up the good work!" The many open doors in Europe necessitate the expansion of the work there. Gene and Lenora Dulin willspend
about five months there this year doing

to pray for us. We need your prayers that God will continue to open doors, prayers that God will provide the funds that we can carry on the work that He is placing before us. and prayers that we will be protected as we carry out
this ministry.

We would also hope that you would

be involved through your financial par

Lord's work this summer. Perhaps you,

your Sunday School class, your church group or your congregation can partici pate in this summer of aggressive work for Christ through your offerings. Maybe some willbe ableto give$500,or $100,

They countered our offer by requesting $1,000 immedi ately, only $200 per month until January 1, 1971, when we would pay $14,000 balance on the down payment and they will carry an open mortgage at the pre vailing interest rate for the $45,000 balance. The leaders of the Anglican organization are pleased that the build ing will be used for church purposes and were willing to assist beyond all expectations to make it possible for us to acquire the building.

How does one go about evaluating three months of Christian service by six individuals? I, frankly, don't know whereto begin. The temptation is strong
to rely heavily upon a statistic-filled summary. That would be patently unjust, however. It is simply impossible to reduce three months of six people's lives to a jumble of figures-however orderly a jumble they might seem to
be--and have them tell the full story. Or maybe a chronicle of events would be best. This, too, seems inade quate. An historic summary can be as
lifeless as a statistical one.
