However, a great desire had long been in the hearts of the Pollman to go to a mission field and so they accepted the call to Okinawa with joy.

A Service Center is in the planning which will provide a place for the Sabbath services as well as a place to entertain the service personnel. • As a result of an evangelistic effort on the southern island of Yae- yama, a new church was organized.
