MR. and MRS. GARLAND BARE
tj- OW THEN shall they call on Him in
Whom they have not believed? And
how shall they believe in Him Whom they
have not heard? And how shall they hear
without a preacher? And how shall they
preach except they be sent?"

ABOUT GARLAND
Garland was born at Batang on the Tibetan Border, Jan
uary 7, 1930, the son of Dr. and Mrs. Norton H. Bare. He
spent eleven years of his early life in West China and Tibet
where his parents labored many years as missionaries. He
was buried with Christ in baptism in Yunnan Province, China
in April, 1937.
In order to further prepare himself for-the ministry of the
Gospel, he enrolled in Lincoln Bible Institute in 1947. As a
student he ministered to the church at Cisne, Illinois where
his efforts were abundantly blessed by the Lord. He received
his B. A. degree on June I, 1951. Garland's previous ex
perience on the mission field, together with his knowledge
of the Yunnanese dialect of the Chinese language, afford an
excellent background for work among the tribes of Northern
Siam.
ABOUT DOROTHY JEAN
Dorothy was born at Chandlerville, Illinois, January 16,
1927, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Dyson, Upon com
pletion of high school she enrolled in a liberal arts college
where she received intensive training in music and educa
tional work. For two years she taught in the public schools
of Cass County, Illinois. In June, 1947 she became a Chris
tian-only, having left a denominational background.
Determining to give her life in full service to the Master she
enrolled at Lincoln Bible Institute in September of that year.
During the summer of 1949, she labored with McKinley Indian
Mission at Toppenish, Washington where she proved herself
capable in children's work.
She received her B. A. degree from Lincoln in 1950, and
has since engaged in a graduate study of Missions. Her ex
periences as a teacher of children and as a mission worker
have given her an excellent background for the task ahead.
Dorothy and Garland united their lives in marriage on
January 13, 1951.
OUR FIELD
Siam (Thailand) covers an area greater than the com
bined total of the States of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky.
The population is nearly 18 million, 95% of whom are
Buddhists. <J u r labors will be largely among the half-
million inhabitants of Chiengrai and Nan Provinces at the
northern tip of the country. The climate is humid and mild,
the rainy season lasting from May to November. The work
will be centered among the Miao, Yao, and Thai tribes.
Evangelistic work among the mountain villages will be sup
plemented by a lowland work among the lepers.
Workers already on the field are Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Cal-
laway. Miss Imogene Williams, and Miss Dorothy Uhlig, R. N.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN :
Greeting;
This is to certify that Mr. Garland Bate servedaspastorof the CisneChristianChurch
at Cisne, Illinois during the full calendar year of 1950 and that his services were highly
satisfactoryto the churchand 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 withMiss Dorothy Dyson inJanuary ofthis year.
Weare happyto recommend this young couple as worthy ofthe confidence, respect
and support of the Christian brotherhood anywhere.
This letter given by and with the consent and approval of the Christian Church

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I want to take this opportunity to recommend to the brotherhood and toencouragethe
support of I^. and Mrs. Garland Bare.
Mn. Bare, whowas 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,

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
sermon.
Mr. Bare grew to manhood in a missionary family. He knows the native 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 WORK
With the Communist advance closing the doors of China to effective
evangelism, missionaries C, W and Lois Callaway and Imogene Williams
sought a place of service where they could use the language and experience
gained in China to further the cause of Christ"; In Thailand they found
such a field and one where the nonsect^rian Christianity of the Nev7 Testa
ment was all "but unknown. Arriving in Bangkok October 18, 1949, they began
studying the Siamese language while seeking for the best location for
beginning the work* An exploratory trip by Mir. Callaway in February, 1950
convinced him that ChiengfcStm, a tribal market center near the Laos frontier,
provided an ideal locality for an evangelistic center; Subsequent deve-
lopment^ave definitely indicated that this was the Lord's leading and
that no better location could be found. The Callaways and their (at that
time) three children together with Miss Williams moved to Chiengkam in
May, 1950;
Early months in Chiengkam were largely occupied with language study;
Preliminary surveys indicated an untouched tribal field that would require
the efforts of several missionaries. Dorothy Uhlig R.N. arrived on the
field in March, 1951 and has since carried a heavy burden of medical work.
Garland and Dorothy Bare joined the work in December of 1951. The mission
staff has since been strengthened by the coming of Margaret Alldridge who
was denied permission to remain in Burma. Thus far all missionaries on
the field have either actually lived in or definitely planned for some
other field, but all rejoice in the leading of the Lord that has brou^t
them to this needy field;
Bible study classes and children's services met strong opposition from
Buddhists and a small group of denominationalists, but services held each
Thursday night are often well-attended. A regular teaching program has
been maintained at the leper village of Ban Sop Waan. A small group had
met there each Lord's day considering themselves Christians, yet ignorant
of even the basic fundamentals of the gospel; Although exploratory and
\
a.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE WORE: (continued)
evangelistic trips had been made among the various mountain tribes, the
first 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
that tribe;
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 fruit
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 eono^iruotioaa
on a now church building - entirely on their own. In addition 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.

altitudes. Interesting costume.
White Miao; Proud, but friendly. Live in large villages near
mountain tops. Opium growers.
SPECIAL PROBLEMS
Language; With nearly tvjenty different languages and dialects
spoken in a relatively small area, language presents a major barrier
to the spread of the gospel. Most of these languages are tonal and
hence especially difficult for Americans. Some of these languages
have an entirely different religious vocabulary and the common words
can not be used in preaching.
II. Government - supported Buddhism: The government support and sub
sidization of the Buddhist priesthood presents a serious obstacle.
The law that all schools must teach Buddhism is a barrier to the
establishment of schools for training a laative ministry.
III. Rate of Exchange; A daily fluctiiating rate of exchange makes it
difficult to estimate or plan mission expenditures. Cost of living
varies considerably in American dollars from month to month. Most
living costs have risen drastically in the past two years.
r
Need of Workers
Because of the number of trit^l groups and the many languages spoken
a large niomher of evangelistic workers are needed in order to get the
gospel to each group. Fev/ missionaries can expect to become fluent in
more than two languages, Siam presents the v/idest door to the gospel in
mainland Aisa today. Young people interested in Siam are urged to contact
missionaries now on furlough or write those on the field for further infor
mation.
