During their first four-year term of missionary service, Nicholson and his wife Cyn thia will engage in crusade evangelism, literature distri bution and church planting, primarily in the greater Buenos Aires area. More than one-third of Argentina's 25 million people live i". and around Buenos Aires.

Prior to Missionary application, the Nicholsons founded the home missions church in La Grange, 111.; served as associate pastors in Auburn and Spokane, Wash- ington; and pastored in Jeffer son, Oregon.
