Greetings from the TASK Force,

We ore excited at this second opportunity to share with you our activities as we
continue preparation to go to Rhodesia.
Bill had the opportunity to travel to Son Jose for the Conference in January.
It was a real inspiring time and rich in fellowship as he was able to make new
friends and renew some old acquaintances. Some speaking opportunities also
will result from contacts made there.

Bill came home early from San Jose to attend the Angeles Crest Christian Camp
Annual Meeting as he had been invited and urged to be there. We were sur
prised and speechless when we received large sums of money from the Angeles
Crest Board and some of the individual Camp Boards. The total amount was
over $1200.00. We have put $1000.00 of that amount into a housing fund.
We had the privilege of speaking at Pacific Christian College, San Fernando First
Church of Christ and the Lawndale Church of Christ in January.
We wish to thank our forwarding agents, publicly, for the fine job they are do
ing! Also we appreciate their willingness to visit other churches with us and thus
assist us in the task of gaining support. Al and Mary are a fine Christian couple
and this is reflected very obviously in the lives of their four daughters, Sue, Laura,
Marge and Jeannie. We really feel God led us in selecting them to assist us in
His work.

We hove submitted our Application for Residence Permits and request that you
join us in praying that these applications be processed promptly so that we may
go to the field in June of this year.

We could not have begun this effort if it had not been for our Heavenly Father
who leads us each step of the way. We know so many of you are praying with
us each day that His will may be accomplished through us. Thank you.
God Bless You,

BILL AND REBA HARRISON

Dear TASK Friends,

As the days of preparation and service fly by we want to share some special con
cerns with you. We pray to God that we will soon receive the "come ahead"
on our Applications for Residence in Rhodesia. We pray that God will give us
understanding as we buy, sort and pack the necessary items to do our job for
Him in Rhodesia. And further, these items should be on the ship, Musilooid,
which sails from'' Los Angeles harbor on the 5th of April so t[nat they will be in
Rhodesia when we arrive there. We pray that the problem of finances, shots,
and passports will be worked out efficiently as June 17th is just around the corner.

We want you to share with us as well in thanksgiving for answered prayers.

-People are responding so wonderfully and assisting us in many ways. A wonder--_
ful Christian lady has offered her fine new camper for us to drive across the
U.S. Others have given tools, equipment, and good purchasing information.
We are approaching the deadline as far as our needed service link monies are
concerned: 5, 10, 50, 100 or 500 individuals or groups of Christians who will com
mit $100, $50, $10, $5 or $1 per month respectively by May 1, 1972 to go to
Rhodesia on schedule.

The month of February started with the exciting, informative and successful Faith
Promise Rally at the Hillcrest Church in Granada Hills, a wonderful day of fellow
ship at the Rowland Heights church, a Sunday evening at Hacienda Heights where
their "Snoopy" campaign resulted in greater returns, monetarily and spiritually,
than any of us expected, and was climaxed with a nice weekend trip over to
beautiful Yuma First Christian Church.

Following the advice and encouragement of many we are ordering a new Land
Rover 4-wheel drive vehicle. By showing proof that it is paid for when we enter
Rhodesia we should not have to pay any customs charges.

Knowing that most of you want to share with us through your prayers we have
taken the liberty to be quite specific this month relative to the challenges we face
in our move to Rhodesia.

Thank you all for your part.

The air

strip here has been enlarged and is quite distinct from the air.

All of the missionaries came to town to greet us. Those with

whom we will be working are the Bruce Ammerman family, the
Dr, William Nice family, Miss Ola Marion, Miss Judy Pickett
and Miss Kathy Grogg.
The first Sunday in Rhodesia we attended an African church and

they asked Bill to preach the morning message.

This is some

thing the Africans "always do" - as we found out later.

The

same applies to Reba as she goes out to meet the ladies groups.
She may be asked at any time to "preach, "

Bill flew with Dr. Nice last Thursday on his clinic route. He
went to the same village that he has told so many of you about
in our slide presentation.

He helped the Doctor with the clinic,

and an African evangelist who went along taught from the Bible,

Yesterday Reba went with the Chidamoyo ladies group and the
other missionary women to a celebration of a new baby, and
while she was there not only did she have her first sudza and
goat meat, but also fought her first brush fire as well. The

fire was coming very close to the village, so all of the ladies
cut green branches from the trees and formed a fire line to beat

at the fire until it was out.

A nearby village was not so lucky,

as their kitchen hut and all of their food was burned.

To top the day off, Bill was driving Dr. Nice's landrover home

from a village church and went over one of those river crossings
andj^r.oke a rear axle.

He was able to drive it home because it

was a four-wlieel drive vehicle. The roads are pretty rough.

It was an exciting day and it was also a great day to be in the
house of the Lord, The worship services were well attended, and
the music here is just beautif\il.

There is much work being done here at Chidamoyo and we hope

as the months go by we will be able to share more about it from
first hand experience as we become involved in it.

Hello from Chidamoyo!

The Lord is richly blessing us with good health, happiness

and much work to do. We are especially thankful today for

the wonderful unseasonal rain shower we enjoyed last night

after church. Much lightning and thunder, then about 1/2
inch of rain fell. We had to gather our 24 baby chicks into
a box and bring them into the kitchen for the night. The
rains are not supposed to begin until November. 1st.

The big news from here is about the wonderful Conference

of African Christians which was held here at Chidamoyo

August 26-28, It is to the African Christians what the
North American Christian Convention is to the American

Christians, except that it is held only every two years.

More than 1200 persons attended.

The church leaders here at Chidamoyo, the missionaries

bilities to make preparations to feed and house 1200 people!
But most important were the wonderful sessions of preach
ing and periods of discussion, and meal times when every
one "enjoyed" sudza, meat and Christian fellowship. The
preaching was done in one of three languages, and usually

translated into the other two.

These were Shona, Chitonga

Sunday, September 3rd, we went as a family to church at a

village area called Chipiri, and on the way dropped two
African preachers at another bush church. Bill preached
and Fredrick Sibanda interpreted. This was the first time
our family had struck out alone for church in the bush. It

was lots of fun, and will be even more enjoyable after we

learn the language and can get to really know the people.

(over, please)

We will be moving into town on September l6th for three

months of language study, David has decided to stay at the
mission with the Ammerman family so he will not miss

school. Julie will be attending a Nursery school in Salis

bury while we are in class. Please pray for us, as Shona

seems to be a very difficult language.

We would surely love to hear from you at the above field

address. An aerogramme from the post office only costs
15^, and that includes postage!

We love you and pray God's rich blessing for you. We

thank you for providing the means whereby wexan serve
Him in this beautiful land.

Greetings from Salisbury:

We have moved again, temporarily, to Ranche House

College in Salisbury for a three month course in Shona

language study and cultural orientation. Our course started

the 18th of September and will conclude the 15th of December,

During this time we are living at the college. They have pro
vided us with a home furnished with everything, so all we

have to do is study.

The college has an excellent African

Shona teacher and language laboratory for our use.

We are hearing lectures daily on Shona Culture, religion

and history, as well as Rhodes ian history and the political
situation. We had an interesting lecture today by an African
minister of thirty-five years experience who said that Africa
is in need of a new type of missionary who will take the time

to get to know what is in the heart and mind of the African,

and who will show them by their own life that following Christ

is a better way than depending on their ancestors to intercede

to God for them.

He stressed the need for missionaries to

thoroughly understand African culture and religion in order to

reach the people with whom we will be working.
How thankful we are for this three months of study.

It

would take us years to acquire on our own what we are learning

in this short time.

Our family is slightly disarranged just now, as David is

staying at the mission with the Amimerman family in order

to attend school,

Julie is with us and spends her mornings

at a play school about two blocks away. She had an infectionr

which sent her to the hospital for five days, but she is home

now and her usual happy self.

We thank God for his watch-

c a r e o v e r uSe

We also thank God for all of you in America who remember

us. Pray with us that we may be this new kind of missionary

and that we may be used by God to reach the Africans in
Rhodesia.

In His Service,
Bill and Reba Harrison

November-December, 1972

From Africa, GREETINGS TO ALL --

With language school nearly completed, we look forward with great anticipation
to going home to Chidamoyo.
Though the temperature is often 90, the calendar tells us it is almost time to
celebrate Christ's birth. The stores here in Salisbury are decorated, and from a
commercial point of view this city is not different from any in the United States.

But one of the things that makes it Christmas for us is the children preparing to
sing carols, and portraying shepherds, wisemen, the angel and Mary and Joseph
for the program at church.
Following the program will be a farewell reception for the Dr. Jerry Smith

family - they will leave Salisbury December 15th for a short year of furlough.
They have won a special place in the hearts of many of us here. Along with com
pleting his studies in medical school here, Jerry has been responsible for over
seeing the African work in Salisbury. We will surely miss them.
Last week Reba went with Mrs, Smith to the African Womens Fellowship.

first part of the program was Bible study, led by the African minister.

The

Each lady

had a work-book in which he had assigned the lesson for them to study during the
week.

The questions at the end of the lesson indicated whether or not they had

completed their homework.

After the lesson there was a cooking contest.

The ladies had been learning some

new receipies and wanted to have the contest, as they enjoy the competition, Reba
was asked to be one of the judges in the contest. The first prize winner cooked

southern fried chicken and gravy. Others cooked cakes and fried apple pies. The
ladies used a one burner kerosene stove for their cooking. Using a large covered pot
with an inch and one-half of sand in the bottom as an oven,

the small cake pans were

placed inside on the sand for baking.

When it was time for the judging, all of the dishes had to be taste-tested by the

judges, and the decisions made for awarding the prizes. Everything tasted so good,
and after the prizes were given, all enjoyed the "tasting-bee," The ladies were
good natured and cheered the winners.

It was an interesting afternoon filled with

Christian fellowship.

We thank God at this Christmas season for His wonderful plan as expressed in

Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government

shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,

The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. " Thank God that
this has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
Love,

Bill,- Reba, David and Julie Harrison
