SAN FRANCISCO DE MATORIS,
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: I am of
good courage and have the privilege
of working in a large district. By the
grace of God I am happy to give my
time and energy to this cause. I am
not an experienced worker, but I say
to the Lord: “What I have I give
unto Thee.”” Thus far during 1953 I
been able to hold three efforts from
which I expect to baptize some 50
souls before the close of 1953. I am
not satisfied with what I have done
and pray that with God's help I will be able to do far
better during 1954. — Eligio Gonzalez.

CALI, COLOMBIA: During 1953
we were able to hold four efforts in
various cities of the Pacific Mission
which were all very well attended.
As a result we have a large number
in our baptismal classes. Many of our
lay preachers are holding small efforts
along with helping in two branch
Sabbath Schools here in Cali. Three
efforts are planned for the near future,
as follows: In Medellin during the last
three months of 1953; in Armenia

from January to March of 1954; and in Palmira from
December of 1953 to March of 1954. — Tirso Escandon M.

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO: I am
happy to report. 70 souls baptized
during the first nine months of 1953.
My goal for the year is 100 souls and
with the help of God I believe this
will be reached. God has greatly
blessed me in my work. Qur Ingather-
ing goal of $4,400 was passed and also
our Big Week goal. When 1 was
called by the Conference to direct
the five churches in the capital dis-
trict I proposed in my heart to double
this number of churches, and I am
happy to state that thus far three new churches have been
organized at San Jose, Puerto Nuevo and Roosevelt. Be-
fore the end of this year I will see the ninth church or-
ganized at Las Monjas. — Max Grunzeug,

POINT FORTIN, TRINIDAD: My
accomplishments for the Master dur-
ing the past two years are so small
that they are hardly worth mentioning.
The 76 souls which I am able to re-
port as won info the truth have been
made possible through the help of
faithful laymen. I have seen the
power of God working through the
life of consecrated youth for the sal-
vation of others and have seen the
divine manifestation of God's healing
