Brouillet To the aint who labor in the churches, and who pray with us for a bold proclamation of the Gospel in thi mid-city area of C leveland, grace be to you , and peace in our Lord and Savior Je us Christ. As ummer draw to a clo e and a winter ea on approaches I look back over ome of the highlight of m 1 T activitie during the p ast eight month : It was on Jan. 16 that the fir t Finder' Club was held, with seven girls present. By the end of April we had reached 32 children through this club. (Three other clubs were being conducted by Metropolitan Mission ) and we had achieved an attendance of 20. It was on Feb. 11 that I first joined 1n the work of Bethel Church where Re,,. Roy Hender hot serve as missionary pastor. It was on Feb. 18 at 2: 30 in the afternoon that we held the f u t Sunday school in the B aptist Bible Center on Church Ave. It was on March 2 that our girls club pro– gram was started as the Glory Club held its first session. with eight ' Las– sies· in attendance. On March 9 we met a two groups, with the Las ies Page 8, December 1962 meeting at 5: 00 o 'clock and the Dam– sels" at 6: 30. During the month of May I was in the Northeast on deputation. In July it was my privilege to participate in three vacation Bible schools over a period of four weeks. This included our Baptist Bible Center vacation school, meeting at Bethel Church, which rejoiced our hearts with an attendance high of 74 children. The Lord has opened the way for me to move to a dwelling much closer to our Bapti t Bible Center than the one in which I am now living, and thi will make it possible to carry on a much more efficient program for vi iting and for developing the Glory C lub . My promised support is now about $100 a month. After Labor Day, I tarted out on another period of de– putation. Just as surely as the United States is becoming a nation of cities rather than farms, and just as surely as idols cast longer and longer hadows by our way ides, so will come the ful– fillment of God' judgment upon the REV. DON MOFFAT earth . The ord is coming soon. W atch and pray that ye enter not into the temptation to ay, "Tomorrow will be time enough." Persecution begins anew in Columbia P ERSECUTION IN COLUMBIA i breaking out again in the wake of pre idential election . In addition to the Prote tant chools which have been clo ed , the following documented event have taken place in recent week : - Jnteramerican Church in Caucas– ia, Antioquia, burned to the ground. -Colorado C hurch continually re– fu ed permit to build a chapel. -Constructor who was building a chapel in Playa de las Flores attacked by 17 armed men and barely e caped with his life. Police sent to the scene to protect construction of chapel pro– duced instead an order showing they were to prevent . uch construction. -Evangelical pastor, Marcos Mur– cia of Colorado, ordered to close door s of chapel and s top meeting because he was "disturbing' ' a C atho– lic procession being held outside the evangelical meeting place. Murcia was attacked physically and wounded in the head. -The Latin American Visitor. The Fellowship of Baptists for Home Missions helped e tablish 128 Baptist churche in the last 20 years.
