Thanks so very much; you are the BEST source for your information we know, so you are a vital partner.
If you have additional information that you think will be helpful to the staff of MSA in preparing news stories about
your ministry, please feel free to send it. MSA is depending upon you. Thanks.
But we said economical.
And that it is. Chris
and Donna will not have
all of the normal ex
penses of new missionary
recruits.
1. Nothing will need to
be shipped. They will
only need to take their
luggage. All is pro
vided in the homes of
the Baughman's and
Davis's.
2. No money will need
to be raised for housing
(*with the exception of
a partial payment on
Ron's house if it is not
rented - if rented we
would use the guest
house). This is a very
substantial savings in
itself.
3. No money will need
to be raised for a
vehicle. In both in
stances a vehicle will
be provided free of charge
Needless to say this
amounts to a substan
tial part of a recruits
initial cost and we feel
it is good stewardship
of The Lord's money and
extremely practical.
How much will it cost?
ANS. The figures are -
1. For air-fare $6000
(2 round trip tickets-with some
extra for auto insurance and
things not thought of)
2. Living Link - a Salary
$600 month
(as maximum stated allowable
salary for new recruits to
Z.C.M.)
3. Service Link $925
(as estimated by both Ron
Baughman and Dean Davis)
This covers working expenses
and inner country traveling
expenses.

CHRIS and DONNA ALEXANDER
Jesus said, "Therefore everyone
who hears these words of mine,
and acts upon them may be com
pared to a wise man. Who built
his house upon the rock".
Donna and 1 are going to Zambia
in search of such wise men.
Those who will hear the words of
Jesus and act upon them.
ANSWERS TO 6 IMPORTANT
QUESTIONS
1. Who are you sending?
ANS. Chris and Donna
Alexander. Chris will
be a 1982 graduate of
Johnson Bible College
with a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in Missions.
Donna has completed her
Junior year in Christian
Education and plans to
continue by correspondence,
2. What will your ministry be?
ANS. The ministry is unique.
Chris and Donna upon arriving
in Zambia will stay with Ron
and Marti Baughman (present
Z.C.M. Missionaries) until
their furlough in Aug. 1983.
When they leave Chris will
work in Leadership Training
Classes, New Church Evangel
ism, and assist Dean Davis
with his work. When Ron
returns in 1984, Chris and
Donna will move to Dean and
Judy Davis's home. Chris's
main responsibility here will
be working with the English
speaking church scheduled
to begin in 1984. This work
will continue until the Davis's
return in 1985.
When are you scheduled to leave?
ANS- Chris and Donna are
planning to leave June 1, 1983.
This is two months before Ron
and Marti Baughmans scheduled
return and will enable them to
get reacquainted with the
churches and the work.
Where are you going?
ANS. The capital city of Zambia
is Luzaka and that is where
we will be staying. It is
located in the heart of the
continent of Africa and is
bounded by Zaire and Tanzania
(North), Malawi and Mozambique
(East), Zimbabwe (South) and
Angola (West).
5. Why are you going?
ANS. #1 - There is a
need. The Baughmans
and The Davis's are in
need of someone to con
tinue the work of the
church and to keep an
eye on things in their
absence. The Alexanders
in trying to follow the
command of Jesus Christ
see this need and oppor
tunity as an answer to
prayer. They desire to
go and feel this desire
is from The Lord.
Also -
#2 - It provides a very
economical way for them
to get valuable and
needed experience. Chris
and Donna both served
as interns in Zambia in
1981.
However - time went by
to quickly and much
needed experience in the
practical everyday life
of mission work was not
gained. This gives them
that opportunity.
