THE HAGUE, Netherlands—
The Dutch membership of the
church in The Hague has been
more than doubled in the last
two weeks. This is the result of
a campaign in which Bill Rich-
ardson preached 15 consecutive
evenings on the theme, “Christ,
the Way to Unity.”
Richardson, who preached for
15 years in Holland, made a
special trip from his home in
Oldfield, Missouri, to preach in
this series of meetings.
There were 11 responses to
the invitation, 10 of which will
i be members in The Hague. The
i other will be a member of the
, church in Utrecht. Between 75
all-time high enrollment. Twen-
ty-four Latin-American students,
probably the largest number of
Spanish - speaking ministerial
students studs ing at one time in
any school in the brotherhood,
are enrolled this year. The
significance of this fact is
heightened by the fact that the
church does not have many
more than this number preach-
ing full time for this language
group in the United States.
Spanish - speaking students
have come from Panama. El-
Salvacfor. Mexico, the Domini-
can Republic, and the United
States.

sented in this year’s student

Saigon Christians Ignoring
“Stay Off Streets" Order
By Mauries Hall
SAIGON, S. Vietnam (CNS) — Missionaries and other
Christians in Saigon have come up against most of the diffi-
culties facing unsettled areas short of all-out war.
Last weekj while eating lunch in a local restaurant with
several brethren, thy heard news reports interrupt the radio
program to advise all Americans and Vietnamese to stay off
the streets. In the early morning hours, troops had moved into
town and had occupied strategic points, taken over much of
the equipment and area occupied by the government, and now
warned the people that the committee for the "Salvation of
the Republic" was in charge and the recent government teas
ousted.
"Stay off the streets” was a request that we liardly saw
how we could abide by for we were in town. and about 3 miles
away we had services that ibould be beginning at 4 pm.
• We cautiously mounted the cars and started home. Streets
were lined with troops ready for any emergency. Machine guns
were deployed
Relieving that God would be with
out his work, we drove home. Upon arriving at the house, we
found some 20 brethren ready to haqe afternoon services.
Many have thought that the unstable condition in Vietnam

congregation served lunch each
day at the church building for
the workers.
-A budget of $5,000 is being
used on the campaign and on
the follow-up work. Two hun-
dred thousand brochures an-
nouncing the campaign were
spread house-to-house, virtually
covering the entire city of The
Hague
Three large banners were
hung at prominent locations, in-
cluding one in the very heart of
the downtown shopping area of
the city. Also, 310 billboard ad-
vertisements were used.
The campaign has been some-
thing very unique in the his-
tory of the Dutch work and the
results have already far sur-
passed anything that the mis-
sionaries had anticipated. So
successful has it been, that
plans are already being laid
by the other churches in Hol-
I land for similar campaigns.
