ings and his family to Burling-
ton in 1959 to work fulltime
with the church there Member-
ship is now about 20 and con-
tinues to grow, despite the loss
of several members when the
nearby airbase closed recently
The church of the Ix>rd in Bur-
lington has suffered commun-
ity persecution and official city
abuse during the past year, but
has successfully overcome this
opposition.
There is a congregation in
Brattleboro, dating from 1954.
Heulan Masters has worked un-
til recently with this group,
which numbers about 20. It is
currently in need of an evan
gelist
The congregation in Benning-
ton was organized in 1958. Some
ten members meet here and
have purchased a preacher’s
home and property for a meet-
ing place.
The work in Montpelier, the
capitol, dates from 1969. The
Alvis Bryans are engaged in a
successful program of evangel-
ism in that city. They now have
about 32 members worshipping
in a new meeting house. Mr.
Bryan conducts a radio pro-
gram heard throughout the state
A new congregation .began

this church.
In addition at least five
brethren live in Newport and at
least one in St. Albans These
faithful saints travel up to 80
miles to attend services. Con
gregations are needed in these
cities and elsewhere.
Summarizing, there are seven
congregations worshipping in
Vermont, with a total member-
ship of some 235. The nearest
Bible camps are in Maine and
the closest Christian colleges
are in Pennsylvania and Ontario,
Canada.

SAO PAI 1,0, Brazil <CNSi —
On Friday, October 27, the El-
lis Longs and my family went
to Sao Jose do Rio Preto to
visit the Ivan Rudes and the
church in that city. We went in
our Volkswagen Kombi.
Rio Preto is about 260 miles
Northwest of Sao Paulo, with
a population of about 100,000. A
very good highway led through
country of rolling hills and scat-
tered farms. We stayed in a
■ hotel nights and spent the days
j with the Rudes, who have seven
children
Apparently a fine work has
I been started in Rio Preto during
the year the Rudes have worked
there, but they will return to
the States next June Two nat-
ive preachers work with Ivan.
W e attended four .services
there Twelve adults and 17
children attended the .morning
Though the church now
a building, H hopes to
build on property already pur-
chased.
Ivan conducts services on a
fazenda 'farm* Sunday after-
noons Ellis Long and I went
with him last Sunday to visit
such a service We traveled m
the Kombi down dirt" roads,
I lanes, trails, through pastures
and gates, over little bridges,
etc , until we wondered how
Ivan ever made it in his ’.39
Ford -f
Finally we reached the house
where the service was to be
conducted The house was made
of mud with a dirt floor. None
of the things Americans con
sider necessities were in evi
dence such as electricity or,
I plumbing
Twenty or mure people crowd
<»<1 into the small room. Some
stood around the table where
Ivan sat Others sat on wood-
en benches around the walls
In one corner of the room a hen
tried to keep her six chicks to-
gether. under the table a large
dog slept away the day; on the
dirt between benches and peo-
ple crawled a baby boy dressed
ony in a short shirt Worship-
ping God in these surroundings
made us aware of how rich we
really are!
A few of the people knew how-
to read and write, but most
faianda workers have no edu-
cation Wc sang some songs; El-
lis gave a 10-minute lesson in
Portuguese; three men led
prayers. Ivan studied a chapter
in Acts with them. Then they
observed the Lord’s supper;
about nine of them have been
baptized.
Soon after we arrived at the
fazenda home M started to rain.
We knew then it would be dif-
ficult to get back to town
through the mud — but we
didn’t know*how difficult! Fif-
teen people crowded into the
Kombi when we started back.
I won't go into details about
the return tup, but we surely
wondered if we would spend
the night in the car. With men
pushing at several places, we
finally slid into town less than
an hour before evening services
were to begin. When we got
there, 1 had no brakes left on
the car We had them fixed
that night
