BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

The teachers bave really devoted themselves and many have worked along wlth the directors In tollowlng out the school program to develop the children TboJ bave worked togetheralso In promotlng selt-aupport In the Church It 18 our hopefor the comina year that there ma be such evangelism QIDOng the students that msn students will came personall to be stroDe Cbl1stlans

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

16 CONSTRUCTION OF LaMBUTa MEMORIAL HOSPITbL

We ~ve had difficulty in this work from the beginningbecause of shortage in missionary workers assigned t~ it Beshycause of this the work has not been finished even thougb the Government made its completion b1_~he first of April a condit shy

ion to their contribution of $ 60n0 They have now agreed to an extension of time to the end of December of this year We pray the Lord and beg our Bishop to find workers sufficient to complete the hospital this year

AGRICULTURAL WORK

We are exceedingly thankful for the increase in our liveshystock during this year We have 90 she 50 chickens and 100 rabbits

This year we sold rabbits -to Minea LodJa Katako KcIlb e gnd Kindu and also 50 to the Governme~ agricultural agent atOma Djldi We find that sheep manure is excellent fertilizer for palm and coffee trees and for vegetable gardens

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

18

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

SUlt1MitRY

As we finish our report for the year 19S8-19S9 we are verygrateful to Go4 for the help of the Holy 5pirit who led in the work of the Church of Jesus this year We pray God that our sehools and hospitals and their workers will all put their shoulders to this one basic task that the Church of Jesus Christ in Central Congo my faithfull1 go forward in the spreading of the gospel

We surrender ourselves in Goda hands that he may show us how to do his will in the coming year

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

16 CONSTRUCTION OF LaMBUTa MEMORIAL HOSPITbL

We ~ve had difficulty in this work from the beginningbecause of shortage in missionary workers assigned t~ it Beshycause of this the work has not been finished even thougb the Government made its completion b1_~he first of April a condit shy

ion to their contribution of $ 60n0 They have now agreed to an extension of time to the end of December of this year We pray the Lord and beg our Bishop to find workers sufficient to complete the hospital this year

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

18

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

The teachers bave really devoted themselves and many have worked along wlth the directors In tollowlng out the school program to develop the children TboJ bave worked togetheralso In promotlng selt-aupport In the Church It 18 our hopefor the comina year that there ma be such evangelism QIDOng the students that msn students will came personall to be stroDe Cbl1stlans

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

16 CONSTRUCTION OF LaMBUTa MEMORIAL HOSPITbL

We ~ve had difficulty in this work from the beginningbecause of shortage in missionary workers assigned t~ it Beshycause of this the work has not been finished even thougb the Government made its completion b1_~he first of April a condit shy

ion to their contribution of $ 60n0 They have now agreed to an extension of time to the end of December of this year We pray the Lord and beg our Bishop to find workers sufficient to complete the hospital this year

AGRICULTURAL WORK

We are exceedingly thankful for the increase in our liveshystock during this year We have 90 she 50 chickens and 100 rabbits

This year we sold rabbits -to Minea LodJa Katako KcIlb e gnd Kindu and also 50 to the Governme~ agricultural agent atOma Djldi We find that sheep manure is excellent fertilizer for palm and coffee trees and for vegetable gardens

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

SUlt1MitRY

As we finish our report for the year 19S8-19S9 we are verygrateful to Go4 for the help of the Holy 5pirit who led in the work of the Church of Jesus this year We pray God that our sehools and hospitals and their workers will all put their shoulders to this one basic task that the Church of Jesus Christ in Central Congo my faithfull1 go forward in the spreading of the gospel

We surrender ourselves in Goda hands that he may show us how to do his will in the coming year

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

The teachers bave really devoted themselves and many have worked along wlth the directors In tollowlng out the school program to develop the children TboJ bave worked togetheralso In promotlng selt-aupport In the Church It 18 our hopefor the comina year that there ma be such evangelism QIDOng the students that msn students will came personall to be stroDe Cbl1stlans

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

lS

INDUSTRI4tL WORK

Nearly all our stations hsve hBd missionaries adept at building and at industrial work in general At Weubo Nama our big hospital is nearly completed Some industrial work at Wembo Ny~a could not be done because of the big job of buildingthis hospital At Mings W6 are building a Missionarya home and doing maintenance work on other buildings At Wembo Nalllll a well is being dug and is down to 61 meters They expect soon to str1ke good waterbull At K1ndu many buildings and furnishingstherefor have been built At Katako Kombe some buildings have been erected including same for At_ican personnel At LOdJa buildings including that opound the Apprentice Teachers School have been co~leted and includil)g an Atr10t1l1worker a home in the city Those in charge of industrial work mRke the observation thnt thehassiduity ot the workmen has not gone forward to keepPace wIt line lncreases In pay_

16 CONSTRUCTION OF LaMBUTa MEMORIAL HOSPITbL

We ~ve had difficulty in this work from the beginningbecause of shortage in missionary workers assigned t~ it Beshycause of this the work has not been finished even thougb the Government made its completion b1_~he first of April a condit shy

ion to their contribution of $ 60n0 They have now agreed to an extension of time to the end of December of this year We pray the Lord and beg our Bishop to find workers sufficient to complete the hospital this year

17

This year we sold rabbits -to Minea LodJa Katako KcIlb e gnd Kindu and also 50 to the Governme~ agricultural agent atOma Djldi We find that sheep manure is excellent fertilizer for palm and coffee trees and for vegetable gardens

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

18

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

The teachers bave really devoted themselves and many have worked along wlth the directors In tollowlng out the school program to develop the children TboJ bave worked togetheralso In promotlng selt-aupport In the Church It 18 our hopefor the comina year that there ma be such evangelism QIDOng the students that msn students will came personall to be stroDe Cbl1stlans

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

16 CONSTRUCTION OF LaMBUTa MEMORIAL HOSPITbL

We ~ve had difficulty in this work from the beginningbecause of shortage in missionary workers assigned t~ it Beshycause of this the work has not been finished even thougb the Government made its completion b1_~he first of April a condit shy

ion to their contribution of $ 60n0 They have now agreed to an extension of time to the end of December of this year We pray the Lord and beg our Bishop to find workers sufficient to complete the hospital this year

AGRICULTURAL WORK

We are exceedingly thankful for the increase in our liveshystock during this year We have 90 she 50 chickens and 100 rabbits

This year we sold rabbits -to Minea LodJa Katako KcIlb e gnd Kindu and also 50 to the Governme~ agricultural agent atOma Djldi We find that sheep manure is excellent fertilizer for palm and coffee trees and for vegetable gardens

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

SUlt1MitRY

As we finish our report for the year 19S8-19S9 we are verygrateful to Go4 for the help of the Holy 5pirit who led in the work of the Church of Jesus this year We pray God that our sehools and hospitals and their workers will all put their shoulders to this one basic task that the Church of Jesus Christ in Central Congo my faithfull1 go forward in the spreading of the gospel

We surrender ourselves in Goda hands that he may show us how to do his will in the coming year

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

The teachers bave really devoted themselves and many have worked along wlth the directors In tollowlng out the school program to develop the children TboJ bave worked togetheralso In promotlng selt-aupport In the Church It 18 our hopefor the comina year that there ma be such evangelism QIDOng the students that msn students will came personall to be stroDe Cbl1stlans

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

s BOYS BOARDING DEPJtRTMiNT

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

BEfORT OFW ORK OF THE CONPEREHlE Fltm THE YEAR 1958-59

For the prophecy came not in old time by thewill of mam but hol1 men ot God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet 121)

Fran the turning over of the work of God into the hands of Africans a1IIi their laymen we see abundant blessing fran the working togetber without jealou-r

W8en we see the growth and the work or spreading the gospel in the past year we are exceedingly grateful tor the prqars of the Church everywhere the gospel has been spread

I WORK 0pound m CmmeH

1 The fruits of the spreading or the gospel to the church or our sectiCll we have Calle to have III8D1 witnesses in a number of places insQllUch that people have marvelled at our taith in Jesus Christ and his Church

2 This year we give thanks to God that He has heard our prqersl tor the harvest is great but the laborers tew We nov see young man and wanen receiving the call to become preachers teachers and nurses in our church

I

This year we have seen allch tru1ttraB the work of the preachers in seeking new people in choosing and baptizing new members they worked together with the superintendents in carrying the work torward this year

We are most grateful tor the work done together by the ~ and the preachers The laymen have shown their love in helping cur preachers in the spreading of the gospel Even though we did not CeDe up to our wishes in tinances they worked hard as they were able according to the ability or the various churches

The people of the churches in nearl1 all districts are undershytaking to increase both spiritual interest and tinancial supportbull

The source of the greatest aavance in the spreading of the gospel this past year was the teaching or Bishop Pickett when we were with him at Mukumadi in October of 1958 His teaching stirred up pastors and laymen to work hard among our people in all the villages

In the evangelisito meetings in JDaD1 many villages in the various districts the Holy Spirit gave us much truit fran the spreading of the gospel

Tbebuilding ot churches ia greatl1 incresating The people of the villages themselves and their leaders are proud to have the good churches that they themselves are building

28

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

Also the District Missionaries are joining in by building permanent church buildincs in the districts and we are expecting much blessing to the people through these churches

In our centers of Lomela Kindu Lodja and Klbombo there is need of ~ssionaries and the building of homes for our workers Especially at Klbombo and Lodja is there need of missionaries for there is wonqerful desire there for the work of the C~urch

This year we hsve seen a growth in the quarterly conferences and those in the district conferences are realiz~ng mor~ than ampver the need of working together with the membership of the churches When we hear the good reports from the leaders we realize what a revelation these oonferences are to the church people on the work of the Churchbull

bullr 1~e are grateful to the Annual Conference to B1shop Booth

and to Brothers Marshall Lovell and John ~esley snunsu for the recording of the work done by the evaneelists and pastorsthroughout the year Our Confer~nce is cOming better to understand this work

We are extremely erateful to the District Missionaries and to the missionaries of each station for their working toeet~er with the aricans This work shows us that in Christ there are no boundaries

Let ts bet on with the work saying Our elephant not myelephant ll

bull The missionaries will be joyfurwhen they see much fruit from their work here in Africa so join hands with ~ricans in the work of the Gnurch while there is still time to help them

2

THE CHURCH SCHOOL

In the ahurch School we have a great instrument to aid in the spreading of the gospel of the Lord Jesus and in drawing people to him We have many pupils in the Church School but not enough leaders and teachers for this great work on the stations and in the villages We request our Bishop and the members of the Annual Conference to ask on our behalf for missionaries trained in Church School work that they may lead us as Bishop Pickett did in the spreading of the gospel

3

WOMhN IS SOCIETY

In this past year we are appreciative of a great awakening in the Womans Work in all districts The enthusiasm of the women for this work has shown itself in great development The African and missionary members worked hard to bring the light of Jesus to the hearts of many women Last year this work went slowly but this year it has greatly developed for the women are now unde standing the work of the Church The women are carrying forward the wOlk of God The treasury of the MiIlpounda women paid for an pvAngAlist this year

29 There was a great Womans Society conference in Panya

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

Tshekc of Lodja District The gitts of the women of LodjaDistrict durinr this year came to 19930 francsJ In almost all sections the women increasod in numbers and in giving

The Day ot Frayer was a ereat blessing to the women of all districts

The romans School work in the v8rious sections grew this year for the desire of the women to learn to read brought light among them

4 YOUTH WORK

Wo praise God that he has helped us in our youth Work toa erowth greater than in past years Nearly every station hes a youth leader The young tolk have their own meetings apart from the meetings ot the adults In their meetings they divide the work up according to their proEram

The young folk enjoy going out into the villages to hold services--bl car or on toot They are winning people by their evangelism

They are doing many works of mercy and they contribute financially to the work of the Church For example at Ming~ they paid the travel of the delegates to the Laymanls CoDference at Luluabourg They contribute rerularly month by month Theylook forward to a bigger program next year than this

11 fEACBING CHRIST IN OUR SCHOOLS

1

Tho Lord Jesus said Let the little ones come unto me ~n we see the great pleRsure of children in play we realize what an opportunity we have--and we seize it-- in our schools In the work tor the little ones we accomplish two things we find those who will take their places in the first year of the school and in the Church ~nd secondly the parents are happy to be able to leave their little ones in the care of those who will watch over them in love and who will teach them songs and memory verses Our thanks to those who carry on this work

2

1 fASBORS SCHOOL

From ebout the time ot the beginning of our annual Conferenc until today we have had the annual P~stor s School ~c see those who really have desire to become leaders in the Methodist Church that they devote themselves to study

tve delight in the aeal of some to become elders in the Chure We regret that some ask to take this special study but are unable to keep up with the difficul t boelcR of these later ye~~

q-

3D Those who are chosen for these oourses should devote themselves to them Taoy should do much readlDf~ of a sort that 11111 helpthem In beooming elders

REGIONAL SCHOOLS

The reglonal sohools prove a great blesslng TOOy demonstrashyte that the leaders have remembered the parents of ohlldren and have undertaken to arrange that chlldren might have thelr sohoollne neer thelr parents and at lower cost than for those who board on the misslon stations ~ny of these vlllAge parentado not have much Income So classes up through the third fourth and even flfth years are elven out 1n the d1strlcts

Even G1rl fa Romes liave been started In some rerlonal centers l

such as at Sh~ Ko1 and Oagerl han g1rls are eolng In for schoollng these days llke the boys

The teachers bave really devoted themselves and many have worked along wlth the directors In tollowlng out the school program to develop the children TboJ bave worked togetheralso In promotlng selt-aupport In the Church It 18 our hopefor the comina year that there ma be such evangelism QIDOng the students that msn students will came personall to be stroDe Cbl1stlans

oms HOlIES

Wo give thanks to God tor the tact that In these last years OUr girls have great deslre for schooling and are golng on faltbfully many ot them even to the higher grades We have never belore seen such readlness on the poundlrls parts to abstain from early marriapounde and to go on with their schoolingSow are grateful to God 3nd to the missionaries who are encouraging them along this line to go forward

Some girls have reAched even the secondary eebOOlJmiddot _oygirls bave become Chr1stians and Are living lives that br1ngjoy to their leaders

Many girls are helping the Cburch preachiD6 and singingripoundbt along with the boys--not bolding back timidly as in other days T~ girls take much pleasure in sewing classes and in farming Our hope for our YOlJlamp women is that they will became leaders in the Cburch like the missionories

s BOYS BOARDING DEPJtRTMiNT

On stations and 1n some re~ional Schools there are boysboarding departments Those who have finished their local

schoola are bullbull the atottons They have the privilege of living~there and or elas on with the higher classes On nearly all or ~ atatlonl bePe a ROW aood living quarters

STATION ~CHOOLS

We give 0)4 thanks tor the work tbat bas been done by Him tor our atudente this yeart_apy obtldren did not havetlie- PI Vilege or atteftcSng SChoo ~wever ror there were not enough teachers

This year we haver~foiced t~tbe Biahop has given the responsibility ot directorships ot some ot our schools to amptricans wbo have worked in love and good relations along with the teachers and the missionaries

Many teachers have worked along with students in buildshying school buildings end teachers houses Much handwork W8S done on all the posts and much good taTDL1ng was done

The School Inspector praised tbe work ot SOIIl$ ot our teachers ratios some a8 vel1 gooclmiddot and some aB fOOd nbull Teachers helped the work otthe Churcb in the distrets and on the posts students continue to learn new bJllllls ot praiseIn some places there was increase in their giving and tithes

7 ~1ACKINNON SCHOOL OF HOM BCONOIUCS

This school started with three atudents in the first year Tbey were all post-primary Out ot ~ beginning this p8 st year_27 finisbetl the year We lost one trom the tirst year and one from the second

All the stUdents ot the third rear class received certifi shycates Six were post-primery and nine peri-primary Now all the pupils in the school have became Christians

~e tried to strengthen the teaching of religion in working with the Youth Group the Womans Society the Church School etc PUpils ot the tirst and seoond year gave a play on the Lite of Jesus

This year the girls sewed mattresses and other articles for the home Same were weak in class-room work Othera did well Some the girls look forward to marriage and some toward caree) r

These days when some young folk are finishing SecondaryScbool it looks to us 9S though we should not receive any more from peri-primary but only from post-primary

When Miss Reinecke returns from furlough we shall begin tp make plans for the school buildings and build them quicklyfor our students need their houses

From the work ot the teachers of our school and of Mama Edja our school has gone forward

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

18

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

34 Many babies were born in our maternities Both missionaries

and Atricans have work~d in the dispensaries to combat the sickshynesses that woUld want to decimate our people Tlle nurses did not content themselves to treat people in the dispensaries onlYa but went out where they neard the sick were

Wo are hoping for more doctors and nurses for new diseases

are spreading in our country these days

INDUSTRI4tL WORK

Nearly all our stations hsve hBd missionaries adept at building and at industrial work in general At Weubo Nama our big hospital is nearly completed Some industrial work at Wembo Ny~a could not be done because of the big job of buildingthis hospital At Mings W6 are building a Missionarya home and doing maintenance work on other buildings At Wembo Nalllll a well is being dug and is down to 61 meters They expect soon to str1ke good waterbull At K1ndu many buildings and furnishingstherefor have been built At Katako Kombe some buildings have been erected including same for At_ican personnel At LOdJa buildings including that opound the Apprentice Teachers School have been co~leted and includil)g an Atr10t1l1worker a home in the city Those in charge of industrial work mRke the observation thnt thehassiduity ot the workmen has not gone forward to keepPace wIt line lncreases In pay_

16 CONSTRUCTION OF LaMBUTa MEMORIAL HOSPITbL

We ~ve had difficulty in this work from the beginningbecause of shortage in missionary workers assigned t~ it Beshycause of this the work has not been finished even thougb the Government made its completion b1_~he first of April a condit shy

ion to their contribution of $ 60n0 They have now agreed to an extension of time to the end of December of this year We pray the Lord and beg our Bishop to find workers sufficient to complete the hospital this year

17

AGRICULTURAL WORK

This year we sold rabbits -to Minea LodJa Katako KcIlb e gnd Kindu and also 50 to the Governme~ agricultural agent atOma Djldi We find that sheep manure is excellent fertilizer for palm and coffee trees and for vegetable gardens

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

18

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

18

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

11

WOMANS SCHOOL

Vmiddotve are happy that many women attended the Womans Schools Many were already llterqte and others are studying bard Theylearn divers subjects I Blble language care of the home and of their children The teachers taught the women with kindness and real concern

Out in the districts too women learned trom our leaders In many places we see a real desire to go torward in literacy These classes are growing in numbers of students We anticipate that these women will beoome good Christl~ns and will learn hashybits of oleanliness

GOVERN)ttENT LAY SCHOOL AT LODJA

This year in the Government Lay School we had courses of religion for 239 students In the Lay School there are four schools Pr1mary Monit~rs Metropolitan and Professlonal Pator Unyangungo taught some classes in the primary and in the Professional Schools ~ong eight protestant teachers three taught courses in religion

We mve 9 very cr~ing need of entering much more adequately into the urban work in this center We wont to press the work in the city and build more school buildings Womans School and and lodging for stUdents and te3chers We have recently finished building the preachers home there We must shepherd our stUdents who are in the Lay School and teach them in the things of God We need someone to work constantly there

14 MEDICAL WORK

We are thankful to God for having heard our prayers We hove dootors now at the three stations et Wenb 0 Nyama Tunde and Minga They are helping our people with their diseases and als~ helping them to become Christians The Durses also both missionary and ~rican are helping to carry this work forshyward

34 Many babies were born in our maternities Both missionaries

and Atricans have work~d in the dispensaries to combat the sickshynesses that woUld want to decimate our people Tlle nurses did not content themselves to treat people in the dispensaries onlYa but went out where they neard the sick were

Wo are hoping for more doctors and nurses for new diseases

are spreading in our country these days

INDUSTRI4tL WORK

Nearly all our stations hsve hBd missionaries adept at building and at industrial work in general At Weubo Nama our big hospital is nearly completed Some industrial work at Wembo Ny~a could not be done because of the big job of buildingthis hospital At Mings W6 are building a Missionarya home and doing maintenance work on other buildings At Wembo Nalllll a well is being dug and is down to 61 meters They expect soon to str1ke good waterbull At K1ndu many buildings and furnishingstherefor have been built At Katako Kombe some buildings have been erected including same for At_ican personnel At LOdJa buildings including that opound the Apprentice Teachers School have been co~leted and includil)g an Atr10t1l1worker a home in the city Those in charge of industrial work mRke the observation thnt thehassiduity ot the workmen has not gone forward to keepPace wIt line lncreases In pay_

16 CONSTRUCTION OF LaMBUTa MEMORIAL HOSPITbL

We ~ve had difficulty in this work from the beginningbecause of shortage in missionary workers assigned t~ it Beshycause of this the work has not been finished even thougb the Government made its completion b1_~he first of April a condit shy

ion to their contribution of $ 60n0 They have now agreed to an extension of time to the end of December of this year We pray the Lord and beg our Bishop to find workers sufficient to complete the hospital this year

17

AGRICULTURAL WORK

We are exceedingly thankful for the increase in our liveshystock during this year We have 90 she 50 chickens and 100 rabbits

This year we sold rabbits -to Minea LodJa Katako KcIlb e gnd Kindu and also 50 to the Governme~ agricultural agent atOma Djldi We find that sheep manure is excellent fertilizer for palm and coffee trees and for vegetable gardens

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

18

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

SUlt1MitRY

As we finish our report for the year 19S8-19S9 we are verygrateful to Go4 for the help of the Holy 5pirit who led in the work of the Church of Jesus this year We pray God that our sehools and hospitals and their workers will all put their shoulders to this one basic task that the Church of Jesus Christ in Central Congo my faithfull1 go forward in the spreading of the gospel

We surrender ourselves in Goda hands that he may show us how to do his will in the coming year

34 Many babies were born in our maternities Both missionaries

and Atricans have work~d in the dispensaries to combat the sickshynesses that woUld want to decimate our people Tlle nurses did not content themselves to treat people in the dispensaries onlYa but went out where they neard the sick were

Wo are hoping for more doctors and nurses for new diseases

are spreading in our country these days

INDUSTRI4tL WORK

Nearly all our stations hsve hBd missionaries adept at building and at industrial work in general At Weubo Nama our big hospital is nearly completed Some industrial work at Wembo Ny~a could not be done because of the big job of buildingthis hospital At Mings W6 are building a Missionarya home and doing maintenance work on other buildings At Wembo Nalllll a well is being dug and is down to 61 meters They expect soon to str1ke good waterbull At K1ndu many buildings and furnishingstherefor have been built At Katako Kombe some buildings have been erected including same for At_ican personnel At LOdJa buildings including that opound the Apprentice Teachers School have been co~leted and includil)g an Atr10t1l1worker a home in the city Those in charge of industrial work mRke the observation thnt thehassiduity ot the workmen has not gone forward to keepPace wIt line lncreases In pay_

16 CONSTRUCTION OF LaMBUTa MEMORIAL HOSPITbL

We ~ve had difficulty in this work from the beginningbecause of shortage in missionary workers assigned t~ it Beshycause of this the work has not been finished even thougb the Government made its completion b1_~he first of April a condit shy

ion to their contribution of $ 60n0 They have now agreed to an extension of time to the end of December of this year We pray the Lord and beg our Bishop to find workers sufficient to complete the hospital this year

17

AGRICULTURAL WORK

We are exceedingly thankful for the increase in our liveshystock during this year We have 90 she 50 chickens and 100 rabbits

This year we sold rabbits -to Minea LodJa Katako KcIlb e gnd Kindu and also 50 to the Governme~ agricultural agent atOma Djldi We find that sheep manure is excellent fertilizer for palm and coffee trees and for vegetable gardens

We are happy that people have bought wire fencing poUltrymedicines and vaccines and improved roosters for their flocks

5Third year students in the Monitors School had great success with beans and other vegetables in their garden for foreign vegetables Some made as much as 400 francs in four months

18

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

SUlt1MitRY

As we finish our report for the year 19S8-19S9 we are verygrateful to Go4 for the help of the Holy 5pirit who led in the work of the Church of Jesus this year We pray God that our sehools and hospitals and their workers will all put their shoulders to this one basic task that the Church of Jesus Christ in Central Congo my faithfull1 go forward in the spreading of the gospel

We surrender ourselves in Goda hands that he may show us how to do his will in the coming year

MISSION fRESS

The work of tho pross has been slowed down this year because of the great increase in demand for Adult church school lessons Where the demand had been for 2000 copies 3200 are now needed The price has remained the same even thoueh salaries of the workers has gone up 3~ We are expecting shortly now a machine for the printing of pictures which will be of great service to us

It the missionary in charge of printing did not have other Jobs the work could go forward faster and needed literature could be supplied more promptly

SUlt1MitRY

As we finish our report for the year 19S8-19S9 we are verygrateful to Go4 for the help of the Holy 5pirit who led in the work of the Church of Jesus this year We pray God that our sehools and hospitals and their workers will all put their shoulders to this one basic task that the Church of Jesus Christ in Central Congo my faithfull1 go forward in the spreading of the gospel

We surrender ourselves in Goda hands that he may show us how to do his will in the coming year
