"In spite of these hundreds I still continue to visit the Voice of Prophecy students, for among these hundreds I find sincere seekers for truth. "One Sunday afternoon a few months ago I found myself in a big kampong searching for a particular house which I could not find. After a two hour search, the sun was setting, and I was about to give up. As I headed toward home I made one last inquiry and found the house just a few doors away. "Perhaps the long search was in the providence of God for I found the whole family at home, and the girl I was to visit was having diffi- culty with her family. My visit was in response to this letter the Voice Pastor Jan Hutuaruk (left) with Joshua Subbiah (center) and his family of Prophecy had forwarded on to at the time of their baptism.
