woi-ld thuee of them live in Asia. Yes, that is true, there are more people in Asia

Did you ever slop to think about the fact that out of every five people in the

than in the United States, all Noi-th America, South America, Pluvope, Africa, and all the Islands of the Seas. Asia is fastly closing to the American Missionary so there must be a new way or method of Mission work if we are ever going to win
the Greatest Continent in the World for the Lord Jesus Christ.

If more new missionaries are not allowed to come, Inen there must be

trained Asian preachers to take their places, and to go into the unreached areas. In the old days, when missionaries could freely come into India, the common practice was for the missionary to pay his preachers from America, and this is a good idea as far as it goes, for the laborer is worthy of his hire, but to reach the

millions of people even in India alone, we could never be able to pay them all.
How can this problem be solved.

TAILORING CLASS OF THE CHRISTIAN TRADE SCHOOL

With this fearful problem facing us, we opened up in 19j56 the first school
among our people teaching both Bible and a Trade, and here we hope to be one of

the answers to the pioblems of the need for many preachers.

We are making this a means of Mass Producing Cokseceated
Dedicated Gosi'el Preachers akd Teachers. MAKING A LIVING IN INDIA

India is a very poor country, and the average farmer in our part of the country for a long day of about 12 hours in the field can make only 25 cents. This must support himself, and family, which often consists of some grand parents, and some brother or sister who has no job. The ordinary man who has to work like this is very handicapped in his time to preach, so we chose jobs that will pay better to teach in our school. This year, we taught Tailoring, Barbering, Poultry Kaising and Food Preparation. In this way, at a job that pays more, the men and women will be better able to make a living with enough time left over to preach. With every i or 5 self supporting preachers, would be a full time evangelist supported by the mission, so he would have his full time to give to the Lord's work, whi]e these men and women will daily care for the churches
in the villages.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

You may say that out of a goal of 500 Preachers and Teachers being
trained, we have not made a very good start, and such is the case. Why have we not done more. Not because we are not willing, or the Indian people are not

willing, but because there is no more money to spend on this. To train 100 Gospel workers will cost ii;>c000, and to get them started in their work so they can support themselves, 500 workers will cost |>25.000, and this will need to come in this 5 year period. We must have this above the regular expenses of the
churches, schools, and hospital, if we are to reach our goal. We are willing to work long hard hours to do this, and the Indian people of today, from our village churches are willing to come and study and so preach, so the success of this

program depends upon you, Christian Friend, and upon the Will of Our Lord.
After the reorganisation of the states in India, we are now working in 3 states, and the needs are tremendous. If we did not have so many village
Chriatians who are dedicated to the cause of Christ this could not be done, but we and the over 4000 members of the Churches of Christ here in S. India, ask

you to consider this program, and to see if you would like to adopt one person
and train them for a life work of service at only !i?50.00.
too late.

We believe that this

Now you're probably thinking things like,,,Boy, is that dumb, or That's unreal istic, or Too far-fetched to believe. But that was the formula used by the South India Mission in its February Crusade,,,and I'd certainly call 32,000 converts and 250 Churches
a SUCCESSFUL EFFORT.

Reports continue to come in from Bro, Art Morris of the effects of the Crusade.

Out of one village alone, there were ^37 baptisms. Just down the road in nearby villages the Crusade resulted in 210, and l60 more baptisms. Two miles north of these villages
the Gospel produced 302 more responses to the invitation to be a Christian, this go on and on. God has truly been at v/ork in India. Stories like

Bro. Art writes.: It is exciting, thrilling, but also frightening too. Never have we been able to extend such an invitation in all of OTir 28 years of work. This is what Missions is really supposed to be Soul--winning Evangelism. The Lord has enabled us to preach the Gospel of His dear Son, and throu^ tiie sowing of the seed, we have been able to reap a bountiful harvest. Praise God for his goodness.

NO

PLACE TO GO is a phrase that is

familiar to every one of us. But this is the plight of many of the new Indian converts . They are all dressed

up, (having put on Christ), but they have no place to go, (no church building in which to meet),
There are 320 groups that have no place in which to meet, at the present time. It's a little embarrassing
to invite some one to Church and then have to tell him that you have no church in which to meet.
