    RECOMMENDATIONS

    TO

    WHOM

    IT

    MAY CONCERN

    :

    Greeting;

    This is to certify that Mr. Garland Bate servedaspastorof the CisneChristianChurch

    at Cisne, Illinois

    during

    the full calendar yearof

    1950

    and that

    his services were highly

    satisfactory to the church and the surrounding community. It was withdeep regret that

    we accepted his resigtuiion in order that he might enter the

    foreign

    mission

    field.

    Brother

    Bare was united in marriage with

    Miss Dorothy

    Dyson inJanuary of this year.

    Weare happy to recommend this young couple as worthy ofthe confidence, respect

    and support of the Christian

    brotherhood

    WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

    I want to take this opportunity to recommend to the brotherhood and toencouragethe

    support of

    I^

    and Mrs. G ar lan d Bare.

    Mn. Bare, who was MissDorothyDyson, came to McKinlcy Indian Mission in the

    summer of 1949 and proved capable in every respect. She showedespecially her ability

    to get along with people. This is one attribute which is absolutely necessary in the

    qualificatiom of a successful missionary.

    She recently became the bride of Garland Bare who needs no introduction to our

    brotherhood and is to be recommended without reservation both as to experience and

    preparation. In His Service,

    Signed) John D. Runyan

    superintendent, McKinley Indian Mission

    Christian Greetings:

    All who knowof the faith and ability of Mr. and Mrs. Garland Bare were thrilled

    to learn that verysoon this fine Christian couple will be leaving to serve God in Northern

    Siam. Bothof these consecrated folks have graduated from LincolnBible Institute. They

    have a sound faith, genuine devotion, and untiring zeal. While in school their record

    was above reproach. Mr. Bare waschosen bytheclassof 51 todeliver the baccalaureate

    s rmon

    Mr. Bare grew to manhood in a missionary f am ily. He knows the na tive language

    of the folks towhom he will minister. His wife will beable to help him and vrill always

    be an

    inspiration.

    A BRIEF

    HISTORY

    OF

    THE

    WOR

    continued

    evangelistic

    trips

    had been made among the various mountain tribes, the

    firs t concentrated

    effort was made

    by

    the

    Callaway family in

    April

    of

    9 5 They moved to the Yao

    village

    of

    Tzan Fu where they spent seven

    months studying

    the

    Yao langhage and

    laying

    a foundation for work with

    t h a t t r i b e ;

    As can be expected in any

    new

    work, response

    to

    the gospel in early

    years has been slow, ^y

    the

    end of 1952 there had been only

    four

    converts -

    a Thai couple, a

    Yao woman

    and a Chinese boy. In

    ^January

    of this year

    some

    of

    the Buddhist villagers

    at

    Ban Sop Waan expressed

    their

    desire to

    become

    Christians.

    Further

    special

    instruction was held

    and

    as a frui t

    of long months of teaching, not only the Buddhists,

    but

    most of

    the

    denom-

    inationalists

    there

    have

    been

    buried with Christ

    in

    baptism

    and

    emerged

    as

    Christians-only.

    Since January 1, 12 Buddhists

    and

    53

    denominationalists

    from that village have been baptized. Another couple living near Chieng

    kam

    has

    also

    been recently baptized, bringing the

    totAl number of

    baptisms

    for the first

    three months of 1953 to 67

    The

    congregation at Ban

    Sop

    Waan

    is rapidly grovxing in grace and

    knowledge

    and

    is

    now beginning

    I n add itio n

    to

    this

    congregation a

    regular

    worship and

    communion service is

    held each

    Sunday

    evening at Chiengkam in Thai, Chinese, and English. The work seems to be

    opening up rapidly and with the prospect of new

    recruits

    in the near future,

    great

    things

    should

    be accomplished for the Lord

    in

    Thailand.
