RUTH EPHEW , R. French Equatorial Africa DePr Students, Dep r Prayer Helpers, When I first arrived in Paris it seemed ther e was no place to attend worship services. Since then , I have learned of so m8ny tha t I could not p oss ib ly think of Pttending Pll of them. The peopl e with whom I em staying are ChristiPns, Pnd a wa rm air of Christian love permeates the home. He has c pused me to t horoughly enjoy the study of the language . At t he Berl it z school of lan guages, a little Chinese girl approached me a n d, aft er convers ing with me for a wh i le, Psked me to b e her friend. She want s Pn American friend to help her learn the Eng l i sh language. Pray with me for t his li tt le Chinese girl, that, as our fr iendsh i p grows, she might not only come to know the English language b ut also come to know Him whom to know Pright is life e t ern al. Pra y "for all saint s; and for me that utterance may b e given unto me that I ma y open my mouth b oldly, to make known the mystery of the Gospel, for which I am a n amb assador in b onds; t hat t herein I may speak bo ldly as I ought to speak." Eph. 6:18,19,20. Ruth Nephew We left New York for Par is b y shi p on January 3, 1951. As we were stPn ding on dec k one morning singin g gospel songs, we saw a nice appearing young Jewish lad watching us. We p rayed for en open door t o witness to him. In the af t ernoon when we returned to the deck he c ame to speak t o us . He was an orthod ox J ew, a former army chaplain, well educated and open for the truth . He had n ever b efore heard of our lo vely Redeemer and kept asking us to tell him more. When we Prrived in Paris John registered wi th the go vernment a n d then went to the American Embassy, b ecause it seems he is having citi zen shi p troub le again. Surely the Lord is a t work Pn d wil l b ring us through, b ut not wi thout te s tings and triP ls , for whi ch we praise Him. Alice Pn d John Gazdik DePr Friends of B . B .

He b rought u s over 5 ,000 mile s b y car to Anchor – a ge, Alaska without P mP jor a cci dent . Praise His Name t The populP tion of Anchorpge is over 50,000 p eople. The stores are spndwiched in b etween liquor stores end Henkey Tonks. This i s a s inful town and one to avoid if poss ible . F ew men trave l the roP ds a t night una rmed. It can b e trul y sa i d thPt this is a fronti er town of s in. There i s some fundamental gospel work b eing carried on in Anchorage, however, there pre many vil lpges among t he Indi ans and Eskimos, whe re there i s no gospel witness. We have not sett led down t o work in any pa rticular vi llage as yet, b ut Da le has visited some, seeking to d iscover the b est pla ce to mPke our home. Pray for us as we seek God's will concerning the pl~ce He would have us to serv e Him. • 44 Dale a n d Bea Da vis an d f amily
