This wi ll mean an inc rease of 30,000 people there very ho rtJ y a nd over 50,000 in a few years. Thi s pl ace does not have a true fundamental Bapt ist Church, but we do have two of our appointees, the Edwa rd Wood , who are pl a nn ing to go as soon a they get their support. WiJl you pray about thic; need and then respond by helping to get them to the fi e ld? Many ot her Macedoni an ca ll a re con1ing to us from ot her needy areas in the U nited Sta tes and a nada.
