Greetings of love and best wishes for a Christ saturated Christmas and a more
peaceful, prosperous, and Christ centered 1985,
Boundless thanks to you, Brethren, for the way we have worked together for the furtherance and growth, and permanence of the Kingdom even in frustrating
times.
Now let me brief you on our expedition to the interior which is my duty to do On Wednesday morning, 7:30, September 26, our crew of eight (8) left Georgetown, the heart of Guyana^ The first leg of the journey was covered in eighteen (18) hours, then from there by boat, also hired, another day-and a half up river to the landing. After a little rest the rigorous task of fetch
ing all our load nine miles on hilly trail began mainly on Monday, October 1. Our time was short; we were in a hurry; we waited too long in Georgetown for the tarpaulin from Kansas but had tq leave before it arrived, substituting it
with two inferior plastic tents bought with money we had for food.
fetch several days=
We also
had to get help from seven Amerindian, aborigines of the interior, to help us
Around mid-October we had most of our instruments made and assembled and
were hyper-eager for the kick off (start). Permit me, please, in order to bring you more up-to-date on the expedition to go back briefly into history. In 1978, I registered at the Lands and Mines Office in Georgetown, the Claim Mission No. 1; this is the registered name. It is so named because way back there I recognized my partnership with the The gold and Lord, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof diamonds are His, God's treasure exploited by God's servant will benefit both the Church of the Creator by whom and for whom all things were made, and
also benefit His saints^ On my first assault on the land in 1979, I recog
nized that with adequate water supply the gold can be cotmiercially and profit ably extracted. The gold is in the sand or overburden, as well as in the gra vel below the overburden so adequate water power is the key to success, of
course supported by the CORRECT METHOD of OPERATION.
Before my visit to the U.S. in March of this year, 1984, I bought three
lengths of fire hose and the Brethren in Kansas, another 300 feet One week
The three
lengths of hose I bought, though never used, and very new in appearance, each one under water pressure ripped in the seams. That meant we had to change our original mode of operation from mass production which was our guarantee
for absolute victory, to the old method of manually charging the sluices^
which was too slow a process for quick production. We sold some gold to the G-jyana Gold Board but not enough to give us the shout we anticipated, I was
able to give to the precious soul, Mark baptlTT-ad on October my cK^lm. Mark was

Brethren, our victory has been deferred; not defeated. Finally on the mis sion, cur food ran out; the pump broke down just when we seemed poised for joy end five of our men left for home immediately to repair the engine. With
no portable water, two men and myself remained to prospect for diamonds near a littl3 creek. You know what? We found four small diamonds, one a quarter stone but only one was perfect so we got just $260.00 for them. This opens a new and exciting dimension for you and us. During the last two weeks I had

London has been quite busy with the gold mining expedition. It is regretful that.we can not report greater success on this project. In case you have any questions about what is going on, let me explain that Bro= London's goal is to provide funds for the mission,.so that it will not always be dependent upon assistance from the United States. Hope fully the day will come that this work can become self-supporting. Pray
for the success of this endeavor.

JUNE 1985
"Project Evangelism"
continues appace in Guyana through our united efforts with the Lord Jesus leading us.
For so many of you, our Brethren. I hardly have any news since with tremendous speed I tried to, by personal correspondence, keep you posted on the latest on matters of Church and hinterland operation. Your enthusiastic interest in what we do in Guyana is most encouraging to us. ihank you so much. To other Brethren who must rely on our News
Letter for updating we have some news for you.
Firstly, Church. Thanks to the Lord our attendance continues to be
encouraging^
thankfully regained by baptism. Our Annual Holy Week Revival Service yielded a revival of reconsecration of life and service by almost the whole congregation. It was thrilling and awe inspiring from night to night to see members especially, surrendering more fully to the Lord
ship of Christ. There was no sign of fanaticism but a sober realiza
tion of our deeper spiritual need. One of the touching scenes was see ing Sister Rita Allicock and her two teen-age daughters coming forward
to be immersed into Christ.
Many of Amy Grant's pieces will be rendered. Many thanks to June Timmons, our Christian friend, who presented her these special tapes and books. Empson, our grandson, is doing an excellent job at driving, thus re lieving his Dadda of much of>the strain to get some of the folks to
Indies, and returned on May 7, to visit with his family until reopening of School in September, 1985. The Women's Circle is seriously preparing for their Anniversary Programme on i^ay 12= Imebet, our grandaughter, is also busy preparing her Junior Choir for their first concert in July.
Our Youths are all excited about their gifts of games from the Brethren at Avoca, Tennessee, I am tiiankfully excited about my gift of tyres from Avoca especially considering that only from the traders
tyres can be ordered; and these foiKs buy U=S currency at street value of $13.00 (G) to $100 (U.S.)- Can we afford then to buy tyres? Thanks
for the boxes of literature. Especially boxes which also include the allowed ten pounds of wheat flour and other food items; dried milk, etc= The medical ministry is an opening wedge. li!e are running short of vita mins and medical supplies^ Please remember us in this area also Now for the interior. Mid January two members of our crew accompa nied me; to, secure our equipment left behind at Mission # 1 when the pump
broke down in December. .The man left in ,charge wanted^ to come home and
we went also to relieve him. It took us five weeks to do a little mining and to move our equipment some thirty miles to a settlement where they were stored in a bond for safe keeping. On Thursday March 21, I dis patched a crew of nine to go at it again. Sorry I could not head that crew again this time, I did not want to leave the congregation in inexperienced hands. In Tasher's absence the Church needs me even more Many good men fell at the feet of gold; but we must trust someone to
carry out the expedition in my absence and pray for 75% if not 100%.
Finally. Brethren, I do not like the tone of my doctor's voice when he demanded that I take much rest though I thank him. More finally, Brethren, Thanks again for keeping us in the army. Please pray for us.
Your Partners,
David and Eliza London
