Recommendation
In view of the plans of Paul K. Williams to begin work in South Africa soon, we want to give our fellow laborer in the gospel our endorsement, good will and Godspeed.
Brother Williams has worked in the Indianapolis area for four years and it has been our pleasure to be associated with him in this locality. Our acquaintance with Brother Williams convinces us that he is well equipped in maturity, knowledge and ability for the kind of work he seeks to do in South Africa. His wife and his five boys will be assets to him in the work of saving souls in the difficult field in which he has chosen to serve.
We are pleased to commend brother Williams to churches and individuals who may be in a position to assist him in his travel fund and salary for the work in South Africa. We commend him to you as a sound, energetic and capable preacher of the gospel who will be worthy and honest effort for the cause of Christ in the African continent.

Glen Shaver, Pocahontas, Ark.: At the, present time I have $470.00 monthly support promised from nine churches and one individual. Hence, with the emergency fund I received and this amount of regular support I will be able to make for the next 18 months. As the great apostle Paul said of the Philippians, "I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epharoditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God." Phil. 4:18, even so I say the same of you my brethren - both churches and individuals that have so generously supplied my needs. I assure you that the money will be spent in a wise way. Thank you again for the wonderful way in which you responded to my needs. May the Lord richly bless you and keep you is my humble prayer. Brethren, pray for us and the work of the Lord in this area..."
