A Report on the Nuanetsi Mission Work

From Mr. and Mrs . Thomas Coy in
Rhodesia, Africa February, 1966
ank. Gt ^^GU
With negotiations with the government now virtually complete, the building
program on the new mission site is progressing rapidly. The government has
forwarded one check to us to defray
promised additional payment as soon
site.
Our praise and thanksgiving, how
ever, is directed to our Heavenly
Father and our many Christian friends
in America. We have been constantly
aware of the continued prayer of
Christians in America. Thanks be to
God your prayers have not gone un
heard. After the months of frustra
tion and delay, we are able to con
tinue full speed ahead.
- - School in Session - -
The school pictured near completion
at the right is now finished and has
enrolled some 40 students. They are
eager to learn. Our African teacher
is doing an excellent job in instruc
tion. At the present he is living in
the school store room on the right
side of the building until we can
build a home for him.
The water reservoir is also nearly
completed. The 22,000 gallon ce
ment block tank will serve as a set
tling tank and storage. In the new
water system that is being Installed,
a new pump and a 4,000 foot pipe
line will be required. This equipment
is now on hand and will be installed
as soon as the flood waters subside.
Still waiting construction are the four
20 foot high water towers that will
provide pressure water delivery to
the various points on the mission
station. (Continued in next column)

as our house is completed on the new
The completion of the water system
will aid the construction yet to be
done. It was necessary to haul all
of the water from the river in 44 gal
lon drums for the school construction.
In all masonry construction this is
quite a chore.
Still before us is the construction
of the hangar, our house and a small
building to house the clinic.
We are able to meet the schedule
set before us during these summer
months because we have more than
12 hours of daylight. The coming
winter months with shortened day
light hours will make it more diffi
cult. (Have you tried laying brick by
lamplight?) None the less, we are
so very grateful for the opportunity to
work. Without your prayers and help
it would not have been possible.
I suppose that it
will remain for history
to judge the justice
and wisdom of the
war now being waged
against Rhodesia by
Britain and the United
States. I do not pre
tend to be knowledg-
able about world politics and power
blocks. I confess that it is diffi
cult for me to see the reasoning in
recognizing acknowledged murder
ers as heads of State.
The Anglo-American war has al
ready brought reprisals and limi
tations upon the work of the mis
sion. Undoubtedly further suffer
ing is ahead.
We are aware that you in America
are only able to form your opinion
on the information that is given to
you through the public press. May
we caution you to not believe all
that you read. Should Mr. Wilson
and Mr. Johnson be successful in
crushing this country, there is a
very real possibility that the op
portunities for mission work as we
know It may cease. Of necessity
we are cautious in such writings.
However, any influence you might
bring to bear to let Rhodesia settle
her Internal problems without out
side interference would be a step
in the right direction.
M^elelezl School

Our school building at Melelezi
suffered severe roof damage from a
wind storm just before classes were
to open on January 27.
The African brethren are doing their
best to repair the building for the
two classes which are held there.
This year we were granted a second
teacher for what would be equivalent
in America to grades 1 and 2.
The school also serves as the
church for the community.

g4 Preaching. Pallg
A preaching rally for all of our
churches was held in December at
the church at Melelezi. More than
150 Christians were present, many
of them traveling over 35,miles. One
of the surprises to us was the ex
temporaneous preaching conducted
by a member of each congregation.
These relatively new Christians had
an amazing grasp of the scriptures
as they exhorted one another.
We lost count but believe this is
the last of the 3,891 hardwood trees
that had to be cleared from the mis
sion airstrip.
Baptizing into Christ "for the remission of sins." Here Christians at
Chenyanya rejoice as others are buried with their Lord.
Moving to the new mission site has required building nearly two miles of
new road. Here the "Combie" tries out a new section.

The tears coursed down my cheeks
and I was unashamed as I looked
down into the open grave carved into
the white ant's hill of clay. The ex
cavation was scarcely two feet wide
and four feet long, and at the bottom
I noticed a kind of tomb hollowed out
of the side wall to provide a resting
place for the one that death had
taken.
I guess that I only half heard my
husband as he lifted his voice In
prayer and told them of the promises
of God. Somehow, I just could not
forget that death is such a frequent
reaper among these primitive and
helpless people. There was a time
when I thought they did not care.
But now I know them better. Now I
sense with them the helplessness
and despair. How long had it been
since her baby died - two weeks or
three? Now Tom is preaching the
mother's funeral. Although birth-
dates are not recorded here I suppose
she was not more than 25. My mind
turns back to the village that we have
just left. A driving rain had driven
us under the eaves of the grass roofed
huts. I sensed the agony of the four
"pre-school" children as the men of
the village carried their mother's
body out of the hut, legs bound be
hind her in the tradition of burial
here. I walked with the women of
the village behind the small donkey
cart that served as our hearse. And
now we are standing by an immense
ant hill, perhaps 10 feet high, for
these simple last rites.
With the close of Tom's prayer, my
mind returns to the present scene of
suffering and I watch the men care
fully place large flat stones against
the side of the tomb. I see the father
and the grandmother throw the first
handful of dirt into the grave. Then
silently we work together without the
benefit of shovel or tool to fill in the
void. It is a lonesome walk back to
the village.
Somehow I sense the question in
their eyes. When? How much long
er? When will thenursingsister
come? I break contact with their
gaze. I can only pray that God will
lay the need on the heart of some
nurse in America. I can only pray
for the suffering of my people.

Christians at one of Fran's sewing classes.

What a heart warming experience this last Christmas was, with so many of
you in America remembering. Here our family models the new wardrobe sent
to us by First Christian Church in Phoenix. So many of you from so many
places were so very good to us. Thanks be to God. The special tapes sent
by several of the congregations were wonderful messengers carrying the spirit
of Christmas and encouragement to our lonely outpost.

The Government Department of Civil Aviation flew in to examine our airstrip.
They made several "suggestions" that must be completed before the airstrip
can have a government license. The approaches were to be lengthened, the
runway widened, runway markers installed, etc. (We had been using the strip
for some time and thought it was an excellent field.) Nearly all of the sug
gestions have now been complied with.
"Silent Service"
We all cannot say as Isaiah, "Here
am I, send me," but we are all able
to have some portion in the propaga
ting of God's word. This might be in
varying degrees as the following se
lection might indicate.
THE INDIVIDUAL IN CHRISTIAN
SERVICE: "The work of God in the
world is given out as piece-work a-
mong His children. No servant of
God is too young, or too poor, or too
ungifted, or too obscure to be a fel
low-laborer with Him." Sir Michael
Costa was once rehearsing with a
large orchestra, and hundreds of
voices. Amidst the thunder of the
organ, and the roll of the drums, the
player on the piccolo said to himself:
"In all this din, my little instrument
doesn't matter," and he ceased to
play. Suddenly the great conductor
threw up his arms and all was still
ed. "Where is the piccolo" he cried.
God listens for our share in His or
chestra. It is as if He said, "What
is in thine hand, Abel?" And Abel
replies, "Nothing but a rod, O God,"
but that rod swallows the serpents of
hell. Or to Dorcas, and she answers
"Only a needle. Lord," but those
garments have been the, heavenly
pattern for holy women ever since.
(Selected from "The Dawn")
As forwarding agents for Courtneys
we have been very pleased with the
many ways in which God provides for
His faithful servants. The support
for this dedicated family continues
to flow. It would appear at times
the river becomes dammed, but this
seems always to be loosed in some
mysterious way.
It is this type of "silent service"
we wish to commend you for and to
encourage your continuance of ac
cumulating these heavenly treasures.
Other avenues of service, which
are not very pretentious but are ap
preciated ever so deeply by the
Courtneys, are your remembrance of
them in prayer, upholding them be
fore God. A missionary's life is a
lonely one at best but is made more
bearable when receiving letters from
friends and loved ones. Thank you
once again for your continued "silent
service."

and adult leadership in the church
became my immediate goal with vis

future. Ministries at the Westminster
Christian Church in Westminster,
California and Hillcrest Christian
Church in Granada Hills broadened
those plans, as did graduation from
Pacific Christian College in 1964 and
continued work at California State
College in Long Beach.
There is still one very important
discovery of which I have not told
you - the discovery of my wife.
Judith Munger came to Pacific Chris
tian College in September of 1963 to
meet the requirements of a dedicated
life which she upheld at summer camp
in 1962. Having been a Christian
since 1955, a member of the Eastside
Christian Church in Bakersfield,
California, Dee Shaffer, minister, a
scholarship holder from East Bakers-
field High, and an ambitious student,
she became quite popular on campus,
especially with me. We were^ mar-^
ried^ December 18, 1965.
During the time we were at Bible
College the Thomas Courtney family,
formerly of Beaverton, Oregon, had
become witnesses for Christ in
Rhodesia. Knowing of our interest in
missions, they challenged us early
to join them in-that work.-Together,
we have given four years of prayerful
consideration to this matter. Now,
we have accepted the call and. Lord
willing, will join them in January of
1967.
As we look back upon our lives
now, we recognize the preparations
that have led us to this moment.
Africa has been a life-long goal of
mine since challenged by missionary
friends when a boy. Judy was the "
only one in her high school class that
stood to say her scholarship was to-
be used for Christ. Our studies at
Bible College under the direction of
concerned instructors have caused
us to grow in Him. Judy's excellent
endeavor, my Bachelor of Arts Degree
from P.C.C., membership in IJonor
Society and the neame,ss"pf furl^er
degrees, have likewise prepared us.
Special studies in Africa^ulture and
Linguistics at California State will
prove most beneficial. Our work with
young people, my ministiries'; a sum
mers work in Mexican Missions for
Judy, mechanical training', shop ex
perience and other practical assets
along with musical talents all unite
to make more effective our service in
the Kingdom of God. "
THANKS BE TO GOD FOR THE
NIEMEYERS!
CHRISTMAS GIFTS ARRIVE
IN JULY
In October of 1965 many Christians
in the Northwest contributed gifts of
yard goods, sewing materials and
Christmas gifts and shipped them in
two barrels for an anticipated pre-
Christmas arrival in Rhodesia. How
ever, the ways of foreign shipping
are sometimes difficult to explain and
after the passing of several months,
the barrels were reported lost. It
was not until our forwarding agents,
Mr. and Mrs. Merle Schroeder put a
substantial insurance claim against
the shipping company, that the bar
rels were suddenly found in June of
1966. We cleared them through cus
toms in fiulawayo and they arrived ia-
the Nuanetsi on July 4th. There's
nothing quite like having Christmas
in July anyway.

I can well understand how easy it is to say that such
Bv things are "signs of progress." Of course, there is a sense
in which progression is true. One does need housing and
water and other physical facilities and no one is more grateful for them
than we. However, our two and one half years of primitive living has
taught us well that if these were the only signs of progress, we would be
poor indeed.
The real progress of the mission has never been hindered since our ar
rival. Week by week those who were buried with their Lord in Christian
baptism best indicated the real milestones of progress. The native
preachers, poor in education and culture but rich in zeal, more ably reveal
mission progress as it should be. The congregations, to be sure, without
the "benefit" of buildings, worshipping under trees, to us at least indi
cated the progress for which we basically came.
Thairk God for progress. It is, however, our prayer that we shall never
substitute, in our minds, these physical trappings for the spiritual trade
marks of the Churches' growth.
Special Resurrection Day services on the mission site were given boost
