16:18. We thank God for his marvelous pm-jer. This year we had trouble
which caused us to marvel. Since politics were new, people were greatly
upset in their thinking. sus himself helped us carry his work
forward. The leaders of the church prayed and worked hard. They went
among the people and held revivals. We saw that the hand of God was among
us. Nany villages sent \-lOrd to us to come preach the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, ,the one who d for us and '''ho saves us We had revivals on
our stations and in the out villages. People surrendered their hearts
and their possessions to the Lord. We also had revivals in our schools.
Pastors and teachers help pupils to accept the Lord Jesus.
Where there was hatred and resentment, love entered in; people stood
up and pled with us to give them pastors, teachers, and nurses. These days
many people "rant their children to enter school; many people are having
trouble because they do not have medicine and Christians do not want to go
to doctors that deceive them '.lith false medicine.
This year, Christians contributed rice, coffee, peanuts
r
and money to
pay the salaries of pastors. Truly, these are difficu t days in the
Congo, but God's Work going forvrard. This year 'ilre received more begin.
ners, preparatory members, and full members into the church than in other
years. We believe thc"t " Christ is Lord'J Our teachers and nurses con
tributed their offer s joyfully to the church.
This work vlaS done because of the 8.110neSS of thE.; i.vorkers. sionaries

Sundays Schools are improving in many places because teachers are
working together with stors. But in some places, this work not im

Women's work has gro....m and spread in all of our tr ts. Women are

their villages.
The Methodist Youth Fellowship is a youth organizat which young
people study how to become like Jesus in their deGds, their works, their
faith, to show respect toward God and people.
27
The first reason that we have IvfiF's is to help young people to ser
V8 God and others, while they are still ;;loung. Our youth had a great
desire to go preach to peoplo and to help those who were in trouble. We
urge the Church to work hard among YOW1g people during the vacation pe
riod. The church should get close to thorn and talk ",ith them. The Word
of God says, "Bring up a child in tho way he should go, and when he is
old he will not depart from So the church should bring up children in
the right way_
We have in villages that havo prunary schools, but in many
villqges, we do not yet have MYF's. Each pastor should have a MYF in his
church; we are with the work of the They go preach in many viI..
lages; they help the poor and provide them with wood and vrater; they pound
rice for the roof houses for them - they and their leaders together.
Each district sends delegates to the annual youth conference.
LAY WORK:
This year, the "I;'lOrk of the laymen caused us to reJOlce. They have
gone forward in giving their offerings to pay pastors' salaries and in
making bricks to build churcllOS. They preached in many villages as hel

We thank God for the improvement in our schools this year. In some
places, there was trouble because of the clamor stirred up by politicians
but in other places, our schools ",ent along very nicely.
State school ll1spectors and our church school inspector made

young men graduated this year.
vIe ask the church to send students to the Bible School. Many villa

hold their pastors.
KLNDERGARTEN:
This school is the:: begin.l'1.ing of Christian vmrk. Christ looked upon
small children as those to whom the Kingdom of Heaven bGlongs. This
school needs teachers who love children and can heln to awaken the minds
of children in order that they may be led in the path of morality and re
ligion. It is a difficult school to teach in-only those who have self
control can do it. The children eat many things such as bananas, peanuts,
sugar 5 bread, milk, rice, and oatmeal. The children like to come to .
school every day to study and play.
They need additional playground equipmtmt.
The 1,vork among irls is going forv12,rd because God works 'l;li th us.
All the leaders of girls' hostels love to help girls in those things
that are beneficial such as praying and Bible read at bedtime, and in

Patients come to us from many different sections-Lubefu, Kibombo,and

CONFERENCE PHYSICIAN:
This year God saw our trouble and began to help us. Both foreign and
Congolese physicians were hard to find. Drug supplies were low in
pitals and dispensaries. The Church bought a large supply of drugs at
Leopoldville, but by the time it had arrived in the Central Congo, much
of at had been lost. The church had to look for drugs in Southern
sia, but customs were high and there were difficulties in transport. For
a long time Air Congo and M.4.S. could not help us. There are many thie
ves between Leopoldville and Lodja.
God blessed us in the coming of Dr. Siksay among us in order that
we might have a real physician at Wembo Nyama for 18 months. The Confer
ence physician and leaders, especially Mr. Paul Koi and the legal repre
sentative worked hard with government officials to make certain arrange
ments concerning medical personnel and the health of people.
High government officials have praised the medical work of the
,; IJ is trying hard to obtain needed drugs.
We have tried to help the people at Djalu with food and drugs, but
we never did receive the food and drugs which were promised to us by the
Congo Protestant Relief Agency, "Caritas Catholique", and the Red CrOSs.
The church also helped with the school and dispensary at Djalu.
We have had trouble in the leper colony at Tunda. And at Minga, the
director left. So the work at Tunda and Minga has gone down. Hm-lever?we
have straightened out these affairs, so the work is going forward agaln.
MATERNITY AT WEHBO NYAHA:
We thank God for the work of our maternity this year. Many women
come and gave birth. Many pregnant women also came this year for regular
check-ups. 732 babies were born in the maternity. We thank God for the
work that He has given us to do. It is work that goes on day and night.
DENTAL DEPARTHENT AT WEMBO NYAMA:
We treated 843 people this year. We thank God that He is always
",ith us in our 'lJlOrk. We serve Him by helping our people in their bodies
and hearts.
INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMG:N1'S:

LITERATURE:
IIChristian literature is the right hand which sows the Word of God helped us
in his work.
IIWe finished translating the Bible and sont the manuscripts to the press to be pu
blished. This work required eight full years.
These books were published at the press. Ekondo wa lu Bible uma lu Aleta, Ekondo
wakuki Jesu, Atumami wa Jesu, and Lumu la lushi la lushi ndu parcartes.
These books have been prepared for publication: Wulu w'Uwandji, Biuku ya Dombelo,
Okondo a kete ya Palastine, and Buku di'esambu.
Graded Sunday School lessons have been translated from the "All Africa Sunday
School
W.S.C.S. lessons for the entire year were translated and published at the press.
And tips on how to improve W.S.C.S. meetings were mineographed.
A scripture-verse calendar was printed.
We met with Doris Hess while she was here. We considered such questions as a lite
rature workship, travel scholarships, how to request funds, how to write books to deepe
the spiritual life of Christians, and how to find literature workers.
Mr. Osamba Albert was asked to study some aspects of literature work abroad after
he had attended Conference.. And Mr. Taluyamba Albert went to Luluabourg
to .study dis'!':!':tbtt" on. 13:ciratq,r,Q., ...,..

We are happy in our work and we hope to work even harder next year with the help
of God.
FRFSS;
Last year there was fighting and trouble at Lodja, but God remained faithful in
all things. All pressmen left their work and we closed the press in June, 1963. But
we started to print books again in October with five men who had never done printing
before. Three of them left eventually, but two of them have remained with us and have
worked well.
Two of our former pressmen will be returning soon. We feel that four men will be
able to print all the pamphlets that are now in our hands. Even though the press was
closed for three months, we still were able to turn out a lot of work this year.
We printed the following literature:
1. Adult Sunday School lessons and teachers" lessons for children.
2. Lessons for Pastors' Wives.
3. Catechism.
4. Ritual of the Methodist Church-every pastor should purchase this book.
5. How To Serve God In Sunday School.
6. The Saviour's Birth.
33
7. Calendar with daily scripture verses-not many have been sold. If we print these again
..
next year, we ask the pastors to help us sell them.
8. Scripture Union Cards with suggested scripture readings for each day of the year.
However, many of our pastors do not follow these readings. We hope they will start
i.
doing this.
Ala Otetela, a primer for adults was printed at Leopodlville this year; the hymn
book will be printed there later this year.
Since we do not have a bookmobile, we ask our pastors to help us sell books.
