Charles House of San Luis, Arizona, U.S.A., preached for the faithful little church at Sonoyta, Sonora, Mexico, (160 miles south of Phoenix, Arizona) in a gospel meeting April 19th for a total of six services. In addition, his wife, Marvel, taught six classes of women and children. There were no visible results, but the church was edified and the Gospel was preached to a good number of Catholic visitors. Fidel Cisneros, local preacher, is doing a fine work here, in a very difficult field. One old lady started to throw boiling water all over him if he didn't leave her front door and quit talking about the Bible, as he was going from house to house inviting people to services. The liberals have offered to send him to ACC if he would leave Sonoyta and the antis. He, his wife and two teen-age children have been trying for several months to live on $50 per month support and have greatly suffered for the cause of Christ and the truth, when there is no secular work available. He needs an additional $50 per month support. Send it directly to Fidel Cisneros, P.O. Box 241, Lukeville, Arizona., U.S.A.
