MEXICO

Sept. 18, 1959

Dear friends in Christ:

We thank God for all of your prayers on behalf of the Lord's work in Mexico and

for the 15 congregations that gave $784.22 and the 21 individuals that gave another
$347.92 toward the final payment of $2,450 due on Mountain View Ranch.

But we must have the balance of $1,317.86 still due Oct. 1, 1959 or be in danger
of a foreclosure on the ranch.

Often many of you have said, "Pray and call on us." We have been earnestly
praying and now we are asking that each ofyou might make another sacrificial offering
of $5 each that this final balance of $1, 317.86 can be met by Oct. 1, 1959.
I'm sure you will rejoice to know that the completely new Childrens Christian
Day School is now in operation on Mountain View Ranch and that the classes of
Saltillo Christian School are going on as usual.
Your servants on Christ's behalf in Mexico,

high-pressure,

financial plan nor time to travel in the

States. This folder tells of. the evangelistic needs in Mexico and tells how MOUNTAIN
VIEW RANOH is and will be a decisive factor in that program of evangelism. The love of

Christ and the needs of

lost souls

is the predominate factor which challenges

every

Christian friend to set aside a rightful and sacrificial portion of his income for the
Lord*s work.

The only factors which control our ability to evangelize

MEXICO

is our love

of

God, our earnest prayers, and our willingness to .give ae the Lord has prospered us.
Every Christian who considers the tithe (10;^ of one's income) as a basis for
the
regular portion, means victory for Christ in Mexico and a fuller ministry as the final

payment of |2,450 dollars is made on MOUNTAIN VIEW RANCH on Sept. 1, 1959 and the
STUDENTS

mission work is expanded for Christ in MEXICO.

WE MOST ACT NOW'.

The cause of Christ in Mexico cannot afford to wait ai^ longer.

Now that there is room for permanent growth on Mountain View Ranch, Saltillo Christian

Mission and School can have more students and lead out in a greater way in Mexican
evangelism. Any Mission which ceases to grow and go, ceases to fulfill its obligation
to God, to you folks back home, and to the nation where it is working. Wo can only
grow and go as you sacrificially sustain us with your offerings and prayers. For that
reason we ask that you might make Aug. 2?, I959 "MOUNTAIN VIEW RANOH CAT"
at your
hoTise, in your Bible School and in your house of worship.
STUDENTS WORKINC

The realization of our Christian Responsibility and the fact that

drove the

Christians

the

catholics

out of their homes in San Pablo, Zaoatecas, Mexico (two of our

students are from the area) in June of this year must engender in us such a sacrificial
spirit that we will assume the task before ub, with a willingness and determimtion

shared by every co-worker and Prayer Warrior in Christ. Consider your commitment prayw-

fully and remember the fields are white unto harvest but the labourers are few and the

time is short. With your help SALTILLO CHRISTIAN MISSION and SCHOOL will help to meet

the spirtitual needs of MEXICO. Help us off to a good start by sending an offering,as
MISSIONARY SECRUITS STUOYINB

unto the Lord, to SALTILLO CHRISTIAN MISSION on Aug. 25, 1959, In that way Mountain
View Ranch will be paid for and SALTILLO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL pan begin her 4th year of
classes on Sept. 8th.

THE NEED IS EVIDENT AND IN

WILL MEET IT!
