The Ohio Independent Baptist, December 1961

December, 1961 homes. For the most pa.rt these peo– ple are \vhat \\ 1 e would call the middle cl flSS of society. This means that in order to appeal to the people in the area, ot1r missionaries mus t live on some,,,hat the sam e level of the p eople around them. SiI1ce the support of 01rr missionaries is lo\\ 1 er than the a,·ernge secular laborer , it m eans that the)' mt1st plan carefully and sacrifice son1e things along the ,vay. fiere is \\'h ere the churches can b e a real blessing and h elp to individual missionary families. Ther e are groups in otir G.A.R .B.C. church es who have selected one family or the children of a family to supply ,vith birthday gifts and remembrances at special times throughout the year. A few n e \tv dresses, pajamas, socks and even some less essential articles h elp a lot to sh·etch the family budget. Of course e"·ery house-hold finds it difficult to keep the linen closet supplied , as these things do wear out. There are times \'-·h en a missionary would get a real lift from some little p ersonal re– membrance. Just put yourself in their place: don't you like sometimes to have a new cooking or serving dish, j11st to relieve the monotony of the 1nany meals you serve? Our mis– sionary wives like the same things the rest of us do but are often hindered fro1n treating themselves to anything other than the absolute essentials. So ,vhen you feel an urge to do some– thing for your work remember our in– divid11al \vorkers . F ew p eople who are not closely connected with the operating of an office and headquarters or a mission realize the exp ense involved in that part of the work.
