SUMMER CAMP 1983

Does it seem strange to you to think that summer camp 1983 is a thing of the past? In Chile it Is! We spent the week of February 13-20 at camp with the San Joaquin Church. The church asked me to go to camp with them to teach a class on Church History. I had taught a class on Church History during a week of leadership training camp in the summer of
1980. Some of the leaders from San Joaquin

were there, and wanted the entire congregation

to benefit from the study.

It was quite a challenge to cram nearly 2000 years of history into 6 hours of teaching. I

and developed one segment as well as I could in

one hour, thus finishing the entire history in 6 days. I ended uponthesixthday withastudyof the "Modern Church". We spent a short time discussing doctrine and history of modern denominations, but then I dedicated the rest of the class to the history of the "Restoration
Movement" in the United States, and the history of our movement in Chile. We have alv^rays

emphasized "Restoration Principles" in our v/ork, but have never actually taught about the history of our movement in the States, so as not to sound "paternalistic". People really seemed
interested to know more about the movement, and the churches in the United States. There's a cow in the camp kitchen!

Recently a Honda generator was purchased. It puts out a total of 4200 watts, in either 110or 220 volts, or both simultaneously. That may seem silly to you, but it is quite a blessing. We're thankful for the lights. At this writing, the very first "Youth Camp" ever held at the Eltabo Camp is in progress. About 80 young people are in attendance. We are very excited about the spiritual potential. Jerry Keeling, our co-worker who is working exclusively in youth work, organized the camp.

young people there. We're praying that the results will be far-reaching.

The camp has been used all summer long by different congregations, mainly for family camps, as in other years. During our week, we had electric lights for the first time since 1978 (when our old generator/motor went caput).

OUR GOAL: ANEW CHURCH IN MAIPU

As you know, we said good-bye to the existing Maipu Church at the time we went to the United States for furlough (we worked with them for the past two years). We will be moving to another part of Maipu within the next couple weeks, and will be working to start a new church there. As we stated while we were on furlough, we wantto key in on an up-until-now unreached group of people in the middle class; the "educated class". Much of the present-day
church has a minimal educational level. Because of the class structure in Chilean

society, some people are turned off by the

church. Classes for smoll children. We have had some contact with the

"educated class", and have found them to be

open to the good news about Christ. (Craig Woolsey has had good results with the class of

people across town.) We have some prospects, and will get to work right after our move. Please
keep this need in your prayers. We have seen another need which we can fill, and about which we are very excited. I have worked in leadership training ever since

are working the coastal region (about 80 miles west of us), and have contact with several different churches there. There is a strong need for training of leaders there. They have asked me to cooperate with them in getting their program going. Initially, there will be three

groups. Steve Phillips will be teaching in one, and I will be teaching in two different groups (I will dedicate one day per week, and visit two different groups on that day). I will have 15-20

Their preacher is not a typical Presbyterian preacher. He doesn't seem to be very well liked among the synod. The Santa Ines Church is one of the only growing Presbyterian Churches in the area. Because of their minister's persuasion, they practice baptism of believing adults, by immersion! The minister himself was baptized about a year ago by the minister in Villa Alemana. I will have 1520 students studying there too. It seems like a fantastic opportunity for simple New Testament Christianity. I'll be reporting more about it later. Classes will start in March. Keep these extension seminary groups in your prayers. We established the Neptuno Church in 1977.

CLASSES, CLASSES AND

MORE CLASSES
EXTENSION SEMINARY: BASIC LEVEL

As I have always been active in leadership training, both under our Bible Institute, and our Extension Seminary classes, I have resumed
responsibilities in that realm. The work in that area gives a lot of satisfaction, and the
interaction with the different students is

interesting.

Our basic level of the Extension Seminary is the study of 6 programmed instructional books, based on the life of Christ in the Gospel of Matthew. Normally each group takes three years to go through the material (at the rate of 2 books per year), Our first group of students graduated in 1982. The basic level is easy enough for just about anyone to do, and gives a good basis in the life of Christ, also Acts of the Apostles. Where a theme of practical ministry comes up in the Gospel text, a lesson is given to treat the theme, thus making the course very
practical.

I am now teaching three different groups in

the basic level: in Villa Alemana and Santa Ines

Students in Lo Prado Extension Seminary Class.

Presbyterian Church (they just formally split away from the Presbyterian Church, more on that in upcoming newsletters) of Vina Del Mar, and at the Lo Prado Church of Pudahuel, in Santiago. In those three groups I have a total of
over 50 students: 25 in Santa Ines, 20 in Villa

Alemana, and 8 in Lo Prado. We are just finishing up book 1 (of 6 books in the basic level), and will begin the study of book 2 in July. I anticipate losing some students in Villa Alemana and Santa Ines, as book 2 is quite a bit more difficult than book 1, but that always happens. In Lo Prado. I will pick up some more

students, from the La Estrella Church, also in

Pudahuel, where some brethren did book 1 a

while back, and will get involved in book 2. There is still another aspect of my work in the basic level of the extension seminary, that of travelling outside the Santiago/Vina Del Mar area. There are Extension Seminary groups studying in the south also. A group in San

Carlos that is finishing book 5. and beginning

groups in Osorno and Puerto Octay. To attend those groups (it is 250 miles to San Carlos and about 600 miles to Osorno and Puerto Octay), different missionaries take turns traveling on weekends (two times per month) to lead these groups. Two weeks ago we went to San Carlos as a family. I led the class there, and got to preach in the church. This weekend I am going to Osorno/Puerto Octay. I haven't been there for about 5 years and am looking forward to the trip (all night long train trip). I was late buying my ticket and all the sleeping berths were taken, so I'll have to sit up all night. Hopefully on the return trip I can get a sleeping berth. Students all over Chile are hungry to learn more of the Word of God. For that we are thankful, and give praise to Him.

monthly letters sent out with receipts, but it is worth repeating here. Our brother Naaman Sepulveda had asked the Lord to take him home
before a weekend, so that the funeral would be on a weekend: "So we can preach to more people". And what a preaching service it was! We walked in the funeral procession for close to an hour, from the church property to the cemetery. But we didn't take the straightest route, instead we paraded around the "Plaza de
Armas" in the middle of town, so that all could

I was also in San Carlos (300 miles south) for the same reasons in May. That weekend we made it a family affair, driving down, so that all the family could be there. I returned to San Carlos in July to lead studies there, and also to participate in a leadership meeting, similar to a Board Meeting, but a meeting in which plans were made for evangelism in the entire area. The San Carlos Church has several "Preaching Points" which are attended by its own
members.

Later in July, I was invited to speak at a youth convention in Osorno. It happened to be during the winter school break, so I took Carey to -Osorno with me on the train-(an exciting trip for her). My trip to Osorno was cut short by the death of Naaman Sepulveda in San Carlos. I tied up what loose ends I could. Some good Chilean brothers from the San Joaquin Church assumed my teaching responsibilities in both Osorno and Puerto Octay, so that I could travel

and continued on to San Carlos.

weekend, I will finish three years of extension seminary study for leaders in the San Carlos Church. Also, I will participate in extensive meetings with people from the mother congregation and the many preaching points out in the country. The assignment that I have been given for that meeting is worthy of about 60 hours of study and 15 hours of teaching. I'm sure that the Lord will help me in my inadequacy.

Dear Friends of our Ministry:

1983 has come and gone, and it seems like just yesterday we saw the departure of 1982. The Lord has been good to us throughout the entire year. As His children, it is a privilege to serve Him here in Chile. We're thankful for the many blessings of this past year. May God be
praised!

Our most sincere wishes are that you also have enjoyed spiritual and material blessings during 1983, and at this special time of year that you would reflect on the purposes of God in
your life. Many times life goes by so quickly that we forget to place the emphasis on Him who
is to be the Lord of our life. In the hustle and bustle of Christmas, let's remember that Jesus

Christ is the center of the Christmas story.

During 1983 we have been very busy. We moved "lock, stock and barrel" to a new house, which we are enjoying. I also moved my office to our new back yard which is handy. About that same time, I made a quick trip to the United States for a Missions Fair in Florida. The main direction of my ministry during 1983 has been in the educational field, through our extension seminary. The school year here is from March to December (autumn to spring), so that has been the busiest time of year for us. During that time I have conducted over 100 studies in level oneof our program, here in Santiago, in Villa Alemana, Vina Del Mar,
San Carlos and Osorno. In level two of our program, I have participated in about 40 classes and meetings. Level two is a more advance study in conjunction with three organizations; 1) Logoi, a Spanish Christian Literature Publisher in Miami, Florida, 2) Flet (La Facultad Latinoamericana de Estudios Teologicos), with offices in 8 Latin American Countries, with headquarters in Miami, and Sean (Seminario Alcanzando Las Naciones), an organization located in Chile which produces excellent programmed instructional materials and study guides. Our organization, "Seminario Por Extension El Encuentro", participates within their program, but also retains its own identity. The program of Flet/Logoi/Sean is a three year study program. Two years from now I hope to see some ministers and leaders from our churches graduate from the program. During the past year, we have participated in four camps and retreats, and have shared

teaching during those times. We have travelled to San Carlos (250 miles south) six times and
made two trips to Osorno (600 miles south). We also visited Christian Church missionaries in Montevideo. Uruguay in the month of June, to meet them and see their work. They had spent a few weeks in Chile viewing the work here during our furlough in 1982. We have opened our home to Chileans and missionaries, having five large (20-30 people) fellowship meetings. At these times, we have tried to promote unity among the churches, inviting people and preachers from all the different congregations in Santiago. The last meetings of that type was in November, when all the Santiago preachers and their wives
came over for a weiner roast and fellowship. I am also working on a project which is perhaps worthy of "full-time work" for a

considerable time. We hope to see the production of "Solid" in Spanish, a 13episode (six and a half hours in total) video tape presentation of the basis for the Christian faith, to be

produced by Good News Productions, International of Joplin, Missouri. I have rough draft
translations for 8 of the 13 scripts, and hope to finish the remaining scripts soon, at which time I will submit the scripts to a panel of viewers for editorial suggestions. Towards the end of this year we started a Bible study in Rancagua (60 miles south of) Santiago). We have no church there, but hope to see one soon. I have been going every two weeks during the last few months. We are looking forward to the time when people from that study group will make concrete decisions to follow Christ and will be baptized into Him. It is a unique group, formed by well educated people from the middle calss. In the study group two M.D.'s and two Dentists have participated and several teachers. Please keep this project
in your prayers. Receive our most warm Season's Greetings for a very blessed Christmas Season, and a

New Year in which the Lord will be pre-eminent in your lives. May the Lord bless you all.
For Christ Jesus,

The David Fish Family
