Bro. & Sis. Wilson
Scheduled to Leave |

(Faith & Victory : July 1964) |

In answer to prayer, the visas from the Nigerian government for Bro.
and Sister Wilson to enter that country have been granted. The
information as of this date (June 8) is that they are scheduled to
leave New York by ship on or about June 30. It became necessary for
them to cancel their reservations to leave on June 9 because the
visas did not arrive in time. They are very busy now making
preparations, and will probably leave their home at Pacoima, Calif.
about June 24.
Here is just a line from Bro. Wilson's latest letter: "Time is
getting pretty short now, and we are just pretty occupied thinking
of things to take along and getting ready for the trip, and when we
realize it is right at hand now, our hearts kind of sink a little at
times when we think of getting so far away from home and clear out
of contact with everything and everybody here. But the Lord will
comfort and take care of everything, we are sure.”
Please put yourself in their places and you will know better how to
pray for them as they answer this call from the Lord for precious
souls for whom our Saviour gave His life. May each one stand behind
them whole-heartedly with your prayers and means, and you will be
blessed to have a part in this soul-saving mission.
We believe that we can speak for the Church in general and say that
the saints are behind these qualified ministers in their new and
untried experience in the Lord's service. As the saints gather in
the camp meetings this summer, these missionaries will also be
remembered at the throne of grace.
As stated in previous issues, we maintain a special missionary fund
here at the Office to support home and foreign missionary work, and
we will be pleased to relay any funds from our readers to Bro. and
Sister Wilson or to any other minister or missionary as you may
designate. The gospel work is the most important work on earth--the
highest calling to which a person can respond. Would you not like to
have a part in it?
