Bro. & Sis. Wilson Scheduled to Leave

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?
