Please send along with this form copies of recommendations from churches which will encourageother churches to support your missionary work. There are churches which will not allow avisiting missionary to speak unless a church recommendation can be shown. Since it is impossible for any one person to know all Christians in the world, this recommendation by a responsible New Testament church is a vital help in persuading others of your worthiness and the valueof your mission. Mission Services stands ready to help you inform HORIZONS readers aboutyour church recommendations. Since the church is sending you to the mission field (Acts 13:1-3)and will help provide the necessary needs on the field, naturally the church should share thecredit in your missionary ministry. One of the ways that the church can do this is to share theirconviction regarding your missionary ministry with others. Certainly, their words will helpconvince others regarding the worthiness of your work. Please help MISSION SERVICES tospread your news through HORIZONS, Packets and Slide library by sending your church recommendations as soon as possible. Thanks. Send what you have now, and the others later.

Dear All:

MERRY CHRISTMAS to each of you. I hope this finds you in the spirit of theholiday and may that feeling be strong throughout the entire year.

Several of us have the spirit, but, when the holiday is gone, so is our spirit.Christ is with us every day of the year, not only during the holiday,

WHAT IS A MISSIONARY?

We often hear that a missionary is a person set apart from others in society.But, just who or what is a missionary?

The definition given in the dictionary isi "Of or pertaining to missions;engaged in, or devoted to, esp, church missions. One sent on a mission; esp», onesent to propagate religion."

Paul, the greatest missionary we know, did only the Lord's work. Yet he iswell-known for his outstanding accomplishments as a missionary. He wasn't chosenor sent in any particular way.

Like Paul, we may have a thorn in the flesh, but the love of God helps each ofus be a missionary.

I'd like to thank the ones that made it possible for me to purchase a car.The vehicle purchased is a 1961 Ford Falcon. It is a four-door sedan, white over

black, radio, heater, and new rubber. The car is in good condition and cost $350.00

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.'.'.'

Yours in Christ,

Tom Freshour
