The Dark Continent of Africa is rap idly changing into an enlightened
country. Both the free world and the

Communist countries are vying for Africa support. The newly educated people are trying to establish an
identity of their own. The white min

ority and the Negro majority are

struggling against each other for supremacy. The result is resentment, confusion, and violence.

Cape Town, South Africa, is a modern, beautiful city

located at the southern tip of Africa. It is populated by Africans (black). Coloured (mixed), and Europeans (white). The white minority being the governing body at
this time, it is deter
mined to remain in con

trol. It rigidly holds the country by deter mining the types of jobs which people can hold, the areas in which they can live, and even, to a certain extent, the places where they may go. since the Europeans are in control, they hold the best jobs, live in the best areas, and go wher ever they wish. The Africans are at the bottom of the scale, with the Coloured sandwiched in between.
We of the Christian churches have a work among the Africans and Coloured, but none among the Europeans. John Fulford has returned to attempt the establishment of a restoration movehas asked us The white

Recommendation
Dear Christian friends,

Like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Paul, and other great servants of God, Don Hart seems to have been one "separ ated from his mother's itx>nb" to be a special messenger of the }iord of God, He began preaching nhen he mas twelve years old, and was the regular song leader for the church services during most of his high school years. Already the church
here has expressed its confidence in his decision by send ing him and his wife, Patti, for a summer internship in
the Bahamas, where they uorked under conditions similar

to those in South Africa, fie vuill not only be taking an active part in providing some of their support from this congregation, but also in seeking others to join hands
vuith us to provide the necessary financial support, I be lieve God's time is SOU for reaching the multitudes in South Africa r^ith the simple yet potierful Gospel message.
To such a task Don and Patti have committed their lives,

I ask that you help in this vcork by committing to them your prayers and financial support. Tours for world evangelization.
