During the August meetings, about 100 individuals made commitments to continue having weekly Bible studies with the local pastor and church members. The August trip also resulted in commitments by government officials to assist in procuring land and scarce building materials for the construction of a church and medical clinic. Maranatha Volunteers International are laying plans to build the clinic next spring. Personnel at the Walla Walla, Wash., Gen- eral Hospital are studying ways to staff the clinic by sending medical personnel to Magadan on a rotating basis. Needs in Russia today are greater than any individual or organization can hope to ade- quately address. But the Lord's arm is not shortened; miracles are taking place; and for Christians everywhere, now is the time to act.

"Bible Camp offers spiritual education outside of the traditional classroom:' says Lynn Bryson, Milo Academy pastor. "The benefits are many.
