I asked Erldene what influen
ced him to dedicate his life to
th< ministry. His answer was,
"My call to the ministry began
while 1 was still a boy back m
those beautiful hills of Mis
souri, Bill Fleming, an evan-
gelist, stirred my mind about
letting God have His way in my
life by serving Him in the mi-
nistry. However, in the fox-
holes in Korea, the call was
made more definite. While I
was over there, 1 really deter
mined to go to Bible School and
study for Hie ministry. Korea
was a place where you either
made something out of yourChris
tian experience or forgot it
altogether. I now know, to know
Jesus Christ is to have LIFE
and to SERVE Him by preaching
the gospel is satisfaction be
yond words.”
Erldene and his wife, Wanda,
have five children. They are
Steve-14, Mike-12, Sheila-9,
Rhonda-6, and Kevin-2. Erl
dene and Wanda were married
while in college atCentralWash-
ington Bible College in Selah,
Washington. When 1 asked Erl
dene to describe his wife, he
said, "I would tell you about
her but they (Gate City Journal)
wouldn’t allow space for that,
so you come to The Christian
Church and meet her. I think
she is Number One.”
The Christian Church began
its ministry in Nyssa in 1939.
The new church was finished
and dedicated in 1952 while
the Reverend Hollingsworth was

attendance of 79. About 140
persons make up the Christian
Church family. In the last two
years they have become very
missionary mmdedandarehelp
ing to sponsor six missionary
families or missionary pro
jects. This year the Christian
Church of Nyssa paid the cost
of sending Erldene and his fa
mily
to do home missionary
work in the hills where he was
born and first felt Hie call to
the ministry. To Erldene this
was one of tlie outstanding ex
periences of his ministry. The
church is planning on sending
them bark again next summer.
I and other pastors of Nyssa
and
Adrian enjoy sharing
Christ’s ministry withErldene.
Next week I will tell you about
the ministry of the Reverend
Dale Hayford and the Bible
Missionary Church.

other acts of kindness during

However, Samuel explained,

As for building needs, he said

He earned his Master’s Degree

Colorado institution.
Graduates of his college in
India are certified to teach in

Samuel has been in the U. S.

Oregon and Idaho and will go to
Washington state next month.
Followers of the Christian
religion comprise only three
percent of India's 550 million
people, Samuel said. Eventually
he said, the Methodist Church
will join an union of Christian
Churches in India, whichiscal-
led The Christian Church of
North India.
The public is invited to hear
S. Dathu Samuel.
