I Several weeks ago while visiting with the great
Detroit area, we learned first hand, a thrilling and won-
derftil story. The two small congregations in Ypsilanti,
Michigan have made a momentous decision. Each con-
gregation had a small building and had outgrown its
facilities. After very careful and prayerful consideration
the unanimous decision was reached that the only thing
to do in order to serve Christ most effectively in that
community, was to consolidate and have a great con-
gregation for Jesus.
One of the buildings has already been sold and the
other soon^wfil ba. They have purchased 12 acres of
ground beautifully located in the community of Ypsi-
lanti. They are planning a new building with an audi-
torium that will seatflOO with adequate classrooms,
office, etc.

The Seventh World Confer-

Through a series of circum-
stances I was able to interview
their delegates from Indonesia.
Here is what they told me:

We commend this wide awake and courageous de-
cision of the church in Ypsilanti. Now the congregation
in Ypsilanti, Michigan can wield a tremendous influence
for Christ. The community will know that the Church
is there. Most of all there will be far more resources for
the spread of the Gospel. The primary purpose and mis-
sion of the Church is to preach the Gospel to the lost.
We need in every community a congregation of the
Church of our Lord.
Also, the Ypsilanti congregation has found they will
have greater strength not only for the preaching of the
Gospel and sending out missionaries, but for the care
of the homeless, the poor and the neglected. They now
have more young people to enjoy association with each
other. The young people have a greater chance of meet-
ing and marrying in the church.
Faith and Vision
Let us take courage from this example ot faith and
vision. Is there more man one congregation in your com-
munity, why not consider consolidation? Let us not per-
mit sentiments to stand in the way of souls. If by con-
solidating the small congregations in your community,
you can have a church that will wield a great influence
for Christ and have more money for the spread of the
Gospel, more resources for benevolent work, and a
greater potential for a dynamic teaching program, then
do not delay. Consider it today.
The advantages of consolidation in education and
business have been demonstrated and are universally
accepted. We must not let the sons of the world in this
generation be wiser than the sons of light. Let our goal
be a great and growing and dynamic congregation in
every community in the world.
The Dean in one of our outstanding colleges made
this remark the other day that bears study. He said,
“When we establish several small congregations on one
side of town or in one community, we multiply every-
thing except the good that can be done.”
BVIIMeMNN BpirmMII 9TWi0Tn
What he meant was, by having many small con-
gregatkms in the same community we multiply the ex-
pense of preachers, secretaries, light bills and ro c
fix it where we just barely have enough to keep house
for the Lord. It is now being demonstrated, in many
places that the people of God can have sufficient spir-
itual strength, financial strength, and i
strength to send out missionaries and carry
