NAPLES, Italy—The Hillard
Story family arrived In Naples
on October 17 to resume their
work of establishing the Lord’s
church in this the third largest
city in Italy.
Hillard and Alma are not
newcomers to Italy or Naples.
They established the church in
Naples in 1955. Twenty-two per-
sons have since been added to
Christ through their efforts. Al-
though all have not remained
faithful .they have a good nu-
cleus of Christians upon which
a strong work can be built
In addition to their work
with the Italian congregation
the Storys will also work with
the church meeting on the
NATO base at Naples. This
group of service personnel has
been responsible for providing a
meeting place in the center of
Naples on one of the busiest

Support for Additional Workers
And Facilities Is Being Sought
MANVELITO. N.M. — The
work at Manuelito was estab-
lished in 1952 by Jesse W.
Hampton Hampton was serving
as principal of the county
school at Crown Point and he
would drive 72 miles each week-
end to Manuelito.
With the help of the Farming-
ton, N.M.. brethren, they erect-
ed a church building In May
of 1951. he gave up teaching to
devote full time to the work in
Manuelito. Hampton supported
himself from May until the fol-
lowing January when the North-
side Church in Farmington be-
gan bis support.
This was his dream of a
Christian school for the Nava-
Jos He supported a boy in Flor-
ida Christian College. This boy
has now married and has two
children and will return to Man-
uelito if support can be ob-
tained for him.
Tn June of 1954. Hampton
married a Navajo girl who had
been a nurse for the Indian
Service for 12 years, and who
now has been a tremendous
help to him in dealing with her
people.
Hampton has built several
rooms on the rear of the church
building in which he and his

For some time they have been
caring for two boys which were
“given” them by their mother.
The Hampton’s have a stand-
ing offer to go back into the
Indian Service at a combined
salary of over J 10,000 a year,
but realize that their need is tn
preaching Christ among the Na-
vajos.
Bible is taught daily in the
church building and in their
home T>ast year they had 12
children in school and many
others turned away. A much
larger dormitory is needed
since the children stay with
them during the school years.
In 1956 Hampton built a tem-
porary dorm about 12 feet by
20 feet with the $300 borrowed
on Mrs. Hampton's salary for
eight boys to stay. Mrs. Hamp-
ton did the cooking and the
children ate in the kitchen of
the Hampton home.
During the past summer,
Hampton went to California on
a speaking tour, and W. C.
Roman made arrangements for
him to have IS speaking ap-
pointments in 12 days. As a re-
sult of the tour, about $2,500
was sent to the Northside con-
gregation in Farmington for
