OKLAHOMA CITY—George Rummel is
used to helping people in distress. He is a
retired fireman with 30 years of service in
the Oklahoma City fire department. So
when Christians in Lausanne, Switzerland,
needed a permanent place to meet this
fall, Rummel and his friend, Herman
Zeller, did what comes naturally to both of
them - they went to help.
Living on social security and using their
own funds, both men traveled 5,000 miles
to Lausanne. They spent five weeks
remodeling an old, three-story house into a
meeting place for the church. They also
built a recording studio which will be used
by Russian evangelist, Stephan Bilak.
Bilak has broadcast into the Soviet Union
for 15 years.
The church in Lausanne purchased the
house earlier this year with the help of
Bilak’s sponsoring congregation, the
Minter I,ane Church of Christ, Abilene,
Texas. However, the three-story, two
family dwelling need a substantial amount
of work before it could meet the needs of
the Swiss Christians. There were no funds
available to get the work done.
Learning of their need from Bilak’s
friend, Jim Lockwood, in Oklahoma City,
Zeller and Rummel were quick to respond.
"It was really an enjoyable experience,"
said Zeller. But it was also hard work. The
men spent 10 hours a day doing carpentry
work, painting, papering, and paneling.

The first floor was converted into a
meeting hall and recording studio, the se-
cond floor into church offices and a
library, and the apartments on the third
floor were refurbished for future use.
The men stayed on the third floor while
they did the remodeling. Their wives join-
ed them for the last two weeks.
Rummel said the small group of 30
Christians living in Lausanne were most
appreciative of their efforts, often inviting
them into their homes for meals and visits.
On their final day, the members gave each
man a picture album recording their work.
"The highlight of the whole experience
was our last Sunday," said Zeller, "when
we cleaned up the auditorium and had our
services in the new church building." He
said the church will now be able to put a
sign in front of their building, something
the law prohibited while they were
meeting in rented facilities.
Rummel and Zeller, who are elders of
the Wilshire Church of Christ in Oklahoma
City, say their experiences have made
them feel closer to mission work.
"The work has made me even more en-
thusiastic about radio work," said Zeller,
who works two days a week in Oklahoma
City, helping Jim Lockwood record radio
sermons for the Soviet Union. "Radio and
television are the keys to preaching in
those countries where we can’t send
preachers," said Zeller.
