Jonathan

Hamilton was born Feb. 19, 1962 i n K im-

berly

South

Africa to missionary parents Annette

Hamil ton. Jona than received his training on

th e

field.

During 1982-1984 he was involved in an excit ing youth

ministry in Uganda and Kenya. Jon and his sisters, Son-

ja

and Karen, average two vis its per day to the public

schools where

they

taught 2500 youth weekly. He

has

helped start new churches in that

area.

THE

ORPHANAGE we helped start in Mbale

Uganda

is growing . The churches are growing as well,

we have trained and evangelists a re doing the

local evangelism in

UGANDA

East Africa.

Preaching

and

teaching in the pub lic schoo ls

was

very exciting. The youth in Uganda were so very hungry

for

the Gospe l of

Christ.

They actually listened

and

asked questions

after each lesson.

Since the children of

Uganda

had to share text

books

with

5

other students an d

the

teachers had

1

peice

of

chalk

to

last 2 weeks, th ey di d

not t ake study

and

education

for

granted.

After one

hour

of singing and

teaching my two

sisters and 1

were

ready

to

leave, bu t

then the headmaster principal) of the school

asked

if we

knew

more

—

o

course we

took

th e

opportunity

t o s tay

longer and

were there 2

more

hours

i t is thr il ling

to

meet such great challenges, and

experiences.

My two

years in Uganda and Kenya was a

great exper ie nc e for me, I

recommend

internships and

field training

fo r

all college

age

Christian workers.

Internships are conducted

each

summer in Ugan

d a an d Kenya,

since th e

second language in both coun

tries

is

English

this

provides

plenty

of

opportunity

fo r

learning mission

work

first hand. So far 70 per cent of

those who come for

the

summer work

return

to do

mission

work somewhere in th

wor ld.

Greetings and love

in the Name

I give thanks to God and

I would l i k e t o thank

everyone of

you

for your prayers

during

in

Johannesburg,

South

the

Lord has

restored

me

to

health

and I

praise

God

that

He

has honored

your

prayers. I t

might have seemed a

small thing

but in an emergency

like that i t

was good to

know

that you were there with me in

My

family and I are doing j u s t fine in the Lord-as we hope and pray

you are the same. I

want

me

into with you. It wilT inform

you

of our work

years .and future

During 19L82 and 83

Jonathan Hamilton News ^

We praise

God

for

all

that He

has allowed

me

to be involved

in.

I

wanted to write this brief note about the past ministry so

you

could see

yourself

bearing

fruit

to

the

Lord s g lo ry . My illness in Jan. 85 took

me

out of circulation for about 5

weeks,

and

I

have

just

recuperated

and

by His gracefeel strong again and

well

healed from the Hepititus

Pneumonia

and mal-nutrition that hospitalized me in Johannesburg. I was

advised

to

rest

and slow

down these past 6 months

and now want

to

begin

service

again.

I have

been

invited to go to Kjmberly South Africa and work with Roland

Joseph, who is a local preacher dad had baptized and taught 2 years ago.

There

is no

missionary

in his area now

and

help is really

needed.

Ayoung

man,

Tyron

Devalt of Casper Wyo may

go

with me to help in this

work.

Lord

willing. We will min is te r with youth and all to

whom

the

Lord

will direct

us as He a l lows

Jody my fiance and I, have prayed about our plans and feel that I

can

work in South

Africa unti

she is finished with her R N training in

about 18

months.

Then we plan. Lord wflling to be married. Now that my

health is

back

to normal I will

be

raising support to

leave

for

Kimberly

South Africa as

soon as

possible. I

have

my visa already and

as soon as

the

air

fare

is raised

and

about

300.00

per

month

more

pledged support

IS in I will be

able

to

go,

that will give me 600.00 per

month,

the

minimum

needed

to

work

there .

Please let me know when I could visit your church to share the

work

and

needs of these

people

in Africa. Right

now

is a

very important

time

in

South

Africa I do not

want

to delay

my

going there to

help

while

we can still do so.

You

are in my prayers thank

you

for your love

and

gifts I

am

your servant for Jesus sake. Luke 17:10. When I have done

all that is required I

must

say I am still an unprofitable servant. We

are co-workers in the harvest. I

hope Jody and

I can work

on

the field

together when

she

finishes her training this is her desire too to be

in the

fields

which

are white unto harvest

when

Jesus

comes.

Greetings

Christian friends in the

name

of

our

Lord

Jesus

Christ

As you might know, Semi

Rongawa

in

the

j Islands

had

invited

me to

come and

work with him in the

j

Christian mission

that

he

started.

Semi applied for a work permit for me that was to have taken

affect at the

end

of January. I recently got a call from him,

saying

that

my work permit was denied by the

government.

No specific reason

was

given, but

they

did try to get Semi to register with an established

religious organization. He

was

wise

and said

he wanted to

stay

independent. Lord willing in the future we w ll be able to get

someone in j to help Semi preach

Jesus

to the

people there.

Keep

Semi

and

his family in

your prayers

and

pray

that

the

door

w ll

open

in

the future.

...The

harvest

truly is pientious,

but

the

laborers

ar e

few.

Pray

ye

therefore th e

Lord

of th e

harvest,

that

he will

send forth laborers into

hi s

harvest.

Jody

Dorris, my f iance, is doing really well in

her

LPN

course (she

was on the Dean' s List this

past semester ). She w ll

be finished in

July and

she plans

to take

her State Boards

in October to

get her

license. Jody and I decided to go ahead and get married and start

our missionary

work as

soon as possible.

We

believe

that

Jody

might

be able

to

get some

more

nurses'

training in

South

Africa, Lord

willing. We will have to wait until we

get there

to

see

the possibilities

of Jody going on to get her RN. I p lan to get a part time job while I

raise

support

on

the weekends. That

w ll

help

us

save some

money

so

we can

get married

soon after she gets out of

school

and before

we leave for Kimberly, Lord willing. Pray for me as 1raise

support and
