Please send along with this form copies of recommendations from churches which will encourage other churches to support your missionary work. There are churches which will not allow a visiting missionary to speak unless a church recommendation can be shown. Since it is impos sible for any one person to know all Christians in the world, this recommendation by a respon sible New Testament church is a vital help in persuading others of your worthiness and the value of your mission. Mission Services stands ready to help you inform HORIZONS readers about your church recommendations. Since the church is sending you to the mission field (Acts 13:1-3) and will help provide the necessary needs on the field, naturally the church should share the

credit in your missionary ministry. One of the ways that the church can do this is to share their conviction regarding your missionary ministry with others. Certainly, their words will help convince others regarding the worthiness of your work. Please help MISSION SERVICES to spread your news through HORIZONS, Packets and Slide library by sending your church recom
mendations as soon as possible. Thanks. Send what you have now, and the others later.

Answers to questions concerning motive and purpose of our work:

I was interested and influenced for missionary work largely

through associations. Missionary speakers at ray home church and in our home (e.g. Bernel Getter) and at camp (Mark and Pauline Maxey, Dr. Dennis Pruett, etc.) and others brought to my mind the
need and possibilities for such service.

It was not until I definite commitment was Phillips and the school with my future wife, to
a foreign field.

was attending Ozark Bible College that a made. Through association with Woodrow missions program and Rallies, I determined, direct my life, if the Lord should lead, to

In searching for a field of service we quickly learned of the vast opportunities in Southern Rhodesiaand received a call from Tioyo Mission, at Karoi, Southern Rhodesia.

Mr. and mrs. Ziden Nutt to assist them^he newly developing ChidaI will be devoting my time primarily to the evangelistic out reach of the mission. I will visit the congregations, assist in teaching congregations and leaders, and look toward the opening of new community areas for the gospel.

My wife, besides caring for the vamily, will assist with the
office work and teach area women's and children's groups.
Dear Bro. McGilvrey;

It is our desire and purpose to localize our support in the Joplin and Carthage areas, that we may spend our time here on fur lough. This way, furlough will not be such a hectic and stren uous time. Our living link support is already promised. We have yet to raise aoproximately #300 a month working funds, plus some travel and equipment funds, but we are making further contacts in this area. We will appreciate your publicity and news coverage of our plans and work, but would prefer that it not be an appeal for
funds from across the country.

Thank you very much for your interest and assistance. We will keep you informed in the future. We will send the letters of re commendation shortly. We are using them in the preparation of a
brochure.

Sincerely in Christ,

P.S. We have been formally approved and endorsed by the Southern

Rhodesian Mission Board of Trustees.

Am enclosing some clippings and photos.
