SECOND QUARTER REPORT -1974

Second Quarter Report

Our work for this second quarter has been primarily on three fronts - the State
Prison, "Novo Horizonte", and Goiania
Christian Institute.

THE PRISON WORK-Since March, we

have been holding weekly meetings at the Goias State Prison. As each week passes, we feel greater satisfaction with our op
portunities there. The inmates who have
an interest in our services and classes are most enthusiastic. The officials seem

interested in, and appreciative of, our ef

forts.

Our program at the prison varies from

time to time. We use films, preaching and musical programs as well as holding
new-convert classes. At a special Sunday afternoon service held in May, thirtyeight (38) men received diplomas and New Testaments after having completed the correspondence course which we of

report both progress and problems in regard to the new congregation at "Novo Horizonte". On April 28th our first bap tismal service was held. Six persons were baptized. This is an important day in the life of any young congregation. Recent converts are now studying in a special class preparing for our second baptismal
service.

Our greatest concern at the present time is that men of the community be
reached for Christ, We feel that if we can

reach the men, we will soon be seeing

from Sao Paulo.

While Gary was concerned with his business matters, I did a lot of window shopping for furniture and finally settled on a few items. I nearly went into a state of shock over prices.

When we returned from Sao Paulo, we

launched an all-out war against the problem we were having with our floors in the kitchen, breakfast room and patio
area. The result? I think we were

defeated! We had tried every manner of cleaning (clorox, steel wool, scouring powder, etc.) but nothing took the reddust stain out of our green floors. After expending much effort, we decided to have some men come and use their big
machines to sand the floors. We were assured that this would solve our

Things were not all-important to him. As a friend, Hugh Davis, of Largo, Florida would state: "This is NOT to say that Paul had.

Now the red stain does not penetrate into the floor, but the wax becomes red. So, on goes our daily battle. One day we use a damp cloth to clean-up the surface dirt and just disregard the red stain. The next day we scrub with scrub brushes, soap

THE INSTITUTE

The second week of August I began teaching four classes at the GoianiaChristian Institute - "Life of Christ", "Gen-

Headache Number 4273", but the job must be done. And, for the time being, it is up to me to do it. We are fortunate in having a young student at the Institute now working as secretary for BCE during the afternoons as well as on Saturdays andMondayswhen there are no classes. Tonia is taking a typing course and is learning quickly to
do the work we have for her to do.

If you have been following the progress of the new congregationat"NovoHorizonte", you will be glad to know that we inaugrated the new room on August 4th and held a week of meetings making several new contacts in the community. The new room that is used for worship services and an adult Sunday School class greatly relieved our space problem, at least for the time being. Our second baptismal service was held on August 11th with 15 baptisms. The church at "Novo Horizonte" is growing! We still need to concentrate on reaching
men for Christ. Please continue to make

this a matter of prayer. We were especially pleased with the new congregation when, a few weeks ago,

we had a special emphasis on the work

of the Institute. Students from the In

stitute directed the services and a special

offering was taken. About $100.00 was received, over half of which came from the people -- notfromusortheHaubners'. From the beginning we have tried to
teach generous giving to the work of the

Lord. It seems we have planted on fertile

ground.
