AN URGENT PLEA January 30, 1971 Dea r Fr lends: Rev . Eugene Townes, Principal B . P. 900 Bangui Central African Republic The need for a DORMITORY is the number one subject in the high school t hese days. As of now, the high school young people live in one of the home s here o rl. BD.11gui Station but if we are to accept about twelve mo11e mi~a i01la1·y kids f o r this August, then we need living quarters f or them a11d a set of house parents to live wi th them. God ha s raised up Bangui Baptist High School to answer the ve ry serious problem of educat ing ln:lssionary children he r e in Central Africa . We alread y have s tudents from f our differen t missions and there are othe rs who a r e inte r ested in s ending the ir young people this Fall term. We have the school building , the all purpose s ports c ourt, a teache rs dwelling BUT WE DO NOT HAVE A DORM. To get us over this difficult period, we have set aside the plans for the big dorm and plan to put up a duplex-type building which will h0use about twelve yom1g people. This could very well be the boys dorm for the time being. Later on, this duplex-type building will be used as dwellings for the high school teache rs. In orde r to have this new dorm r eady by August, we must beg1n ce,n– struction immediately. We don't want to turn any of these high school yo\ll'lg people away and it ls for this reason that we make this plea to you, our high school supporters. The c ost of this building, with all the furnishings , will run around $20,000.00. Please pra y and give as the Lo rd l e ads you . This ne ed fsr a dorm is URGENT and we n eed immed– iate action from God's people. We plan to go ahead en f a ith and order the 1uilding materia l . The requests from missionary parents for us to t ake the ir children are arriv1ng now. How c an we say no to them v.rhen we know the problem 1n separation from their children that they f ac e . PLEASE PRAY FOR A DORM FOR BANGUI BAPTIST HIGH SCHOOL. All gifts may be sent to the account of "Bangui Baptist High School", Baptist Mid- Missions , 4205 Chester Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44103. The high school students have been very active in the churches in and around the city of Bangui.
