INEXPENSIVE
A church of 500 can
use these cups and
dispose of them for
less than $4.00. This
is less expensive
than washing glass
cups.
'We also have a benevolent committee tnat takes care of
local needs such as cash and groceries for those who need
it," he said. “That’s constantly going on but it’s quiet
and unobtrusive because of the nature of the work.

QUIETER USE
The quietness the
communion ser-
vice deserves is en-
hanced. These caps
are 80% quieter
than glass.
CONVENIENT
Cups may be filled
without the worry
of ‘soaking
through" that you
have with paper
cups. No discolora-
tion. No more wash-
draining, drying,
lust throw them
away.

SANITARY
Use only once . . .
then, throw away.
No more washing
and sterilizing. Each
person always has a
sparkling, new glass

chures from the Chamber of Commerce, ACC, local
banks, a sample of the local newspaper, and, of course, a
plug for the Oakland Drive congregation.
The man who says he’s not responsible for this is Gene
Hancock, the preacher and wrecking yard proprietor.
He says Oakland Drive’s philosophy is “to do something •
for the Lord and not just to keep house here at the
Oakland Drive church building."
The only salary they pay is the preacher’s—and he’s
part time. The secretarial, janitorial, gardening and other
odd jobs connected with the maintenance of the church
building are done voluntarily by the members. They have
a committee to see that it’s done.
“We’re doing something for the Lord with the money
we’re saving," added Lewis Henderson, chairman of the

mission committee. “A person who is doing this kind of
work may be really giving $100 because we’d have to hire
it done."
The newcomer’s information service is being spearheaded
by Hancock and Mac Culver, a Bible major at ACC and
a department store employee. They have four members
who help prepare the packets.
“We didn’t spend any money on it, realty,* kaid Han-
cock. “AU of this stuff is free from the Chamber of
Commerce and businesses. We just put it together and
send it to those who want it. Mac did all the leg work
collecting it."
The idea came when a friend of an Oakland Drive
member was moving to Abilene from Nebraska.
Said Hancock, “She wrote to us and asked us ques-
tions; she asked for a newspaper, too. She was at a com-
plete loss as to know what to do. We thought there were
other people in her same situation.
“We’re here and we can help them. We know all the
good people—all the church people and all the good busi-
ness people. We can help newcomers. If people will write
to us we’ll send them a packet and if they need help

like that, we can -help. We’ve done this kind of thing
before for our friends; now we'll do it for anybody who’ll
ask."
Contribution taken up on the fifth Sunday of the month
goes entirely to the Nhowe fund. On June 29, they gave
$1042; 102 were present that morning.
“We had several on vacation that day but they left their
checks," said Hancock. “We had a couple of checks for
$100 but that was the largest amount given."
Oakland Drive has gathered more than half of the
needed amount to ship the Hayes family to Africa. They
have bought them a diesel-powered automobile (gasoline
is about three times more than diesel) and have already
shipped it. . -
-- “For years and years Oakland Drive looked forward to
doing mission work, but they didn’t do much. First of
all, Jerry and Kay are from here and they’ve proved
themselves to be good Christians. They’ve been here
about eight or nine years. Everyone knows them and is
behind them. This is the way the church should send out
missionaries—from their own congregation/ said Hancock.
Hancock resigned as an elder at the Hillcrest congrega-
tion in April, 1968, to work with Oakland Drive. “I
guess you can say when I started the congregation was
discouraged." Contribution was about $250 a week.
In a little more than a year, they’ve added 10 new
families, expanded their visitation program with 60 per-
cent of the congregation participating, given partial sup-
port to a couple already at Nhowe, and conduct Sunday
singing services at an old folk’s home.
The Hancock’s son, John and his wife Gay, are now
at Nhowe and are partially supported by Oakland Drive.
When they were home for five weeks in May, they con-
vinced Mr. and Mrs. Hayes to go to Africa. Hayes, an
ACC alumnus, teaches junior high school science and
industrial arts. The Pettys are getting their support from
congregations in Houston and Memphis, Tenn.
Petty has a bachelor’s degree in Bible and industrial
education and will be teaching Bible in the Bush country.
Said the senior Hancock, .“They are all our kids and
they got their inspiration while they were here."
Hancock was formerly president of York College, York,
Neb., before he moved to Abilene and the wrecking yard
business. Before York College, he preached at the North-
side congregation in Wichita, Kans., while he operated a
