the brotherhood which are cursed
with the same under-nourishment.
We have been writing, printing and
distributing literature throughout the
West Indies and Central America for
several years. “Could you please
bring us...’’ is an often heard plea.
The plea could be echoed a thousand
times over. We could put millions of
tracts into the hands of national
Christians who would in turn deliver
them to the lost .. talk about mass
evangelism. Here awaits an oppor-
tunity which is unparalleled in
history. Will someone please help us
take advantage of this urgent call?
Will someone please help us feed
these starving presses?
Sincerely, Roger E. Dickson, Church
of Christ, P.O. Box 7, All Saints,

At Ft. Defiance the workers and visiting
teachers have in recent years reached into
three nearby rural “chapters” with Vaca-
tion Bible Schools and one short “camp
meeting," Navajo style. They are now
working on a new process of Navajo type
camp meetings, in which a host Navajo
family supports the whole operation, and
Navajo men do the preaching. We have
four Navajo men around the Reservation
capable of preaching in the language that
50 percent of the Navajos want to hear. It
has been fully proven that Navajos will
respond far more readily in the rural-
extended family-clan setting such as these
camp meetings.
Fundamentalists of several types have
started 106 “camp churches" and Navajo
operated churches in the last 30 years,
compered to one in the 100 years before.
The workers at Ft. Defiance-Window Rock
plan definately to follow this model in the
areas around this civic-educational center
of the Reservation, to get into the third
phase of cross-cultural mission ac-
complishment - the truly indigenous
Navajo church.
