Talents and Time

'^OING our best to make the most out of ^'both our talents and time, Ed, Mary and
Ila Belle have been teaching Bible school classes at a U.S. Army Chapel near Frank furt. Ed has been teaching the Junior High class and Mary and Ua Belle each have had a class of first graders. Having heard and seen the liberal teachings in many of the chapels here in Europe, we took this oppor tunity to teach the Bible to these young people. We pray and trust that this teaching may have had some influence upon these
young lives. We have done this in addition to our German work and it has in no way inter

fered with it. However, with Ed preaching

the series of evangelistic meetings throughout Europe, he will have to give this up. This additional opportunity has enabled us in combating liberal and modern teachings and on several occasions has permitted Ed to preach several Sunday morning messages, presenting God's Word in its fullness. This
work, of course, has been in addition to the

UNDAY, October 7th marks the beginning of our fifth year of preaching the Gospel in the German language over Radio Luxembourg to the German-speaking peoples of Europe. After much prayer and hard work, our very first broadcast went 'on the air" the morning of October 5, 1958. We want to take this opportunity to salute
Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Coble, founders of the

sermons preached in German on Radio Luxem bourg every Lord's Day morning.

Gospel Broadcasting Mission, through whom this broadcast is being made possible. Through financial cooperation with them, we are able to keep this broadcast on the air. The Cobles are raising the funds to pay for the actual radio-time, while the West German Christian Mission pays for the follow-up and
studio costs.

AS we enter into the second phase of our

missionary work here in Germany, we urgently request your prayers. Even while this article is being read, we are engaging in a series of evangelistic meetings in those areas from which the greatest response is being received. Visitation and preparation for these meetings were made long before this article appeared in print. This was necessary in order to lay the groundwork, rent the halls and prepare local publicity for these meetings. Personal preparation was also necessary as we prayed to God for the added physical and spiritual strength needed for conducting these meetings. This series of meetings, which I will

special birthday cake on the 22nd for Ila Belle, and birthday cake for David on the
23rd. Since we all love cake, you can rest assured that it didn't last long, even though

the birthdays were so close together. Debbie attended a Girl Scout Camp and David a Boy Scout Camp during the summer

plays, parades or display. The costume will fit a boy between the ages of 10 and 12. It is being made available to the churches through our Forwarding Agent, Brother Coleman T. Sparrow.

EXPENSES INCREASE
As the Mission grows, our expenses increase proportionately, and we will need extra support for the forthcoming evangelistic meetings which will be conducted throughout Germany and Europe. For example, we will need extra funds to carry rent expense, newspaper publicity and other incidentals connected with evangelistic meetings. Besides
this, the children's school tuition has been

Each one of us takes a turn talking on the tape. We have also prepared a type-written com mentary for those who may not have access to a tape recorder. A third set of slides "C" is being prepared by David and Debbie Ann which is designed to show in children's groups and meetings.

KIDS! Would you like to know how
they celebrate Christmas over here in

this every Sunday evening until all four candles are lit, and on the Sunday before
Christmas we read about the birth of Jesus

Germany? We'll tell you then! During the last week of November every one makes a wreath out of evergreen. Four candles are placed on the wreath to show the preparation for the birth of our Lord. One candle stands for the Law, orje for the Psalms, and one for the Prophets. The foxirth candle stands for the Gospels. On the fourth Sunday before Christmas, the first candle is lit to represent the proph ecies and promises of Christ's coming in the the Law, We read these promises out of the Bible, as we light the first candle, and then we have cookies and milk {grown-ups have coffee) while we sing Christmas carols. On the third Sunday before Christmas, we light
two candles and read from Psalms. We do

in the New Testament. We do this in our

home. They call this wreath an "Advent

Wreath."

We like to exchange packages and gifts

at Christmas too; but we know that this isn't the main reason for celebrating Christmas.

The greatest fun is in sharing with others, and we like to help prepare packages for our
listeners who are living behind the Iron Cur

tain. They are very, very poor and need our

help and prayers.

In closing, we want to wish you and your mothers and dads a very wonderful Christmas!

There are so many things for which we are thankful, as we approach the Christmas

hearts towards you Christians in America

Here, amid humble surroundings and with a stable for a church, we were able to preach the Gospel of Christ and to have fellowship with other baptized believers who believe and practice New Testament Chris tianity in the same manner as we.

WE DON'T always see the seed we sow

or see where it falls; but when it

begins to sprout and grow we are able

to see just how far it has been canied. This
was the case in a letter we received from the

radio listener whose picture appears above.

Living in a medium-sized city on the Rhein River, this 60-year-old man is having a vital part in spreading the Gospel of Christ. About a year ago he wrote us a letter asking for an increased number of sermon copies
each week. We had been sending a sizable package of sermons, and always enclosed the niunber of sermons he requested.

and playing it back to the people as he tries to reach as many souls as he con with the Gospel of Christ. In addition to this, he also passes out our sermon copies and tracts for people to read. By the time that this news article appears in print, I will have arranged to meet him personally and further discuss with him the New Testament position. He is 60 years old and the sign on the trailer attracting the attention of the passers-by says, "The Call
to Decision" and "Bread for the World." The

local German newspaper which recently carried an article about him, had nothing but
praise for this man who had dedicated himself to this unusual means of reaching the masses

He is completely unknown to us except through correspondence. A recent letter from him explained that he had a motorcycle with
a small trailer hitched to the back. In the

of the people on the street with the Gospel

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thus from day to day we are meeting

consecrated and dedicated individuals who

Lord Jesus Christ.
