"Please don't forget to pray that Chokoba may become a great soul winner. Pray too for several souls in Bhoyara who are ripe for baptism and the full confession which it means. Pray too that in these days of war this all-important work of saving the people may not be hindered by lack of funds." * Hospital Evangelism Dr. Lester H.
