ENID, Okla. — Homer and Maxine Anderson will
leave with their children August 15 for Canberra, the
capital of Australia. They are to join two other missionary
families already working full time in Australia’s fastest-
growing city.
The church was introduced to Canberra, population
100,000, about six months ago by the Cecil Hutson and
George McFarlin families. There have been four baptisms
in the past few weeks, and attendance is averaging close
to 40 persons:
The Andersons will be sponsored in Australia by the
Lahoma Road Church of Christ in Enid. Anderson has
preached there for the past five and one-half years, and
the congregation has more than doubled and its contri-
butions have tripled.
Lahoma Road church will provide his complete per-

ing fund is 90 percent complete; another $40 per month
will round it out.
