getting settled into j our little house at kashibshi forty miles south of kafulwe we are still situated right oi the lake we live on the edge i oi chandwes village so called i because the headman s name is i chandwe to our right uwkisbitownship which is he centre for the fishing indus- try on lake mweru there 1 s i ice plant which has been in i operation for some years trucks from copperbeit

the bo il catholic mission has be- i work to complete their hospital and hope to hare 1 resident doctor in january a i town water system is also being l developed it seems strange that a move i of only forty miles can give one i nch a feeling of returning to i civilization kafulwe was in an i isolated spot off the main road 1 and several miles from the end i of the bus line here there is a daily bus communication with copperbeit vnd one feels i of progress which i i less evident a kafulwe even i fee very fact of having people i around you tp yjit with has a 1 healthy psychological effecl at kafulwe when someone temme you knew he must have i come for a special purpose for i he bad to come quite a way out i of his road to get to us here i many people have dropped i n i ust to say hello here there i h no tradition of a mission sta- but rather of an african i minister living among his peo- i pie we hope that we can ev i entually be looked upon as pas- i tors of these people during the last three months ittf 1965 jim has been working talone among the congregations fwhile our fellow minister john i ngona has been t a k i n g 1 course for youth work orgadv i hers at the jcndolo ecumenical i centre it has been like work i ing single- handed on a twenty 4me point charge by being a- vway from home three or four roays every weekend he has i been able to visit half the con- 1 gregations twice and the other i half once over the threemonth 1 span mostly just one day i with each congregation i meeting with the elders and i to hear how things are rfolng then servi at two i points on sunday bow would i your congregation manage if it i had only nnerrtwo davttx lyem minister every three mo- is erhaps better than yon think elders would have to lend some time in bible study 1 sermon preparation stew i arda would have to organize i their canvasses on their own i elders would conduct the ftmer lab visit all the sick and bere- lred someone would bare to 1 teach the church membership i etc some of your eon- jitlont would be stronger if i oar had to do these things 1 tbemsehres others woom prob- i ably be weaker and that s i just how it is here congreg- i ations with enough elders with leadership and preaching abil ity can carry on for month by themselves others almost seem to disappear if not visited every month sometimes you feel it is taking all pitlnt the thin red hue sunday services in each place with a fbtal offering of a nickel or a dime you can hardly find time for a sustained effort at lay training in any one place you have serious doubts about
