I I I I I I PRESSTIME PARAGRAPHS for your INFORMATION <strong>and</strong> INTERCESSION Mission to Have New Facilities in INDONESIA Capital: Development of a new headquarters property for the Indoncsia Mission of the C W is under way. Residences for the field chairman <strong>and</strong> the director of the Inter-Mission Business Office are going up first, with the construction of a guesthousc to follow. INDONESIA Evangelism Is Making Gains: A tent team headed by Evangelist Jarkasih is seeing significant results, a spokesman from Indonesia says. But that project, as well as evangelism efforts in Central <strong>and</strong> West Java by Toraja Bible school stu- dents, is not receiving financial backing from the churches. Church Members Gradually Returning to Jolo in Southern PHILIPPINES: Pastor Zacha- rias Fronda <strong>and</strong> at least thirty families of the two hundred who fled the fire that devastated Jolo earlier this year (see 3/13 issue) have returned. An unburned building has been partitioned to provide temporary housing. Reconstruction of the church awaits clearance from the military. Because Jolo is to be a "planned" city, all proposed construction projects are receiving careiul scrutiny. GABON Mission-Church Agreement Is Signed: Dr. Louis L. King, Vice-President/Overseas Ministries, reports a successful meeting with Gabonese church leaders in late June at Bongolo. A five-year working agreement was forged <strong>and</strong> signed. "Great Divide" Partitions MALI <strong>and</strong> UPPER VOLTA Mission: It is now official: the Mali <strong>and</strong> Upper Volta Mission has been divided. Logistic - <strong>and</strong> uolitical considerations prompted the move, which was finalized at the recent field conference. With delegates from the Mali <strong>and</strong> Upper Volta churches sitting as observers, the missionaries determined details of the separation. The Hali Mission, with Rev. S. Thomas Burns as its chairman, will be headquartered at Koutiala. The Upper Volta Mission, led by Rev. D. L. Kennedy, will have its offices at Bobo-Dioulasso. Dr. Charles A. Epperson, Orl<strong>and</strong>o, Fla., pastor, ministered at the final combined conference, bringing Bible messages which the delegates found helpful. The need for more missionaries remains critical. "Vast areas go unrcached for lack of missionaries," a field source reported. "Out of 400 church groups, only 200 have pastors." KIWR REPUBLIC Missionaries Find It Hard to "Keep Track": The number of new congregations in Greater Phnom Penh is multiply- ing so rapidly that the overworked missionaries find it virtu- ally impossible to keep up with them all. "It's hard to keep track," comments Rev. A. Eugene Hall, now Board representative, noting that eighty-two new believers from four congregations were baptized in just one week's time. Son Sonne, national church treasurer, began a Bible study at a housc on the road to his home. Attendance jumped from thirteen to a hundred to well over two hundred. In two weeks 532 had prayed to receive Jesus Christ. Mr. Hall also observed an increase again in the rocket attacks on the city <strong>and</strong> an alarming amount of student unrest.
