 We are daily bombarded with
news that is catastrophic. Economic
collapse, a faltering war in
Afghanistan, an all-out effort on the
part of powerful forces backed by
government to destroy all influence
of Christianity in this country, and
the not-so-gradual loss of all those
rights once guaranteed us by the
Constitution — bad news on every
hand. Someone asked me the other
day, “Now what are we going to
do?”
I remember some years ago a
dear friend of mine who had served
in Missions all his adult life told me
the following story. He said, “our
oldest son had been committed to
Missions since he was very young.
He felt called to serve with us, and
after college he was accepted by our
mission board. He had raised all his
necessary support and was ready to
fly out to join us in a few days. He took
one final meeting at a small church,
and as he drove to that meeting on
that snowy, icy road his car went
into a skid. I got that call at 3 am that
every parent dreads to hear, telling
me that my son had been killed in
an accident. Our supporting church
was wonderful and they provided
the monies we needed so that we
could all fly home for the funeral.
It was an exhausting time for us all
4
and we arrived back on the field at
about the same time in the morning
that the call had come.
“As we wearily set down our
luggage, our youngest son just
stood there in the living room and
with tears in his eyes asked, ‘Daddy,
now what are we going to do?’ I
said, ‘son, we are going to do what
we have always done. This tragedy
isn’t going to change a thing. Look,
when I married your mother I didn’t
say, I’ll stay with you as long as
you care for the house and serve
me good meals, and don’t burn the
toast. I told her I would be faithful
for better or for worse, until death.
I told God the same thing when I
became a missionary. So son, go get
your pajamas on and go to bed. We’ll
just keep doing what God has called
us to do.’ ”
That’s what we are going to do
here at Source of Light Ministries.
Our missionaries didn’t come here
because it was easy, or comfortable,
nor did they commit themselves to
this work as long as everything went
smoothly. We’re here because God
called us and we are here to stay.
So now what are we going to do in
the face of all these pressures? We’ll
just keep doing what God has called
us to do. . . “Providing the Tools to
Finish the Task.”
A t Source of Light, we are burdened to bring children to faith in God
and to know Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. As they know
Him, many times children have faith that God can do anything. I love to be
with children to see how they trust God for many things in their lives.

Y ears ago Joy Thompson asked her daddy, Cam Thompson, author of
our Master Secrets of Prayer, how much a tricycle would cost. Then
she asked how many pennies it would be, and began to pray specifically. A
few days later, a girl who was heading to college suggested that her father
donate her piggy bank to some mission project, so it was given to Cam.
When they counted the pennies, the total was just a few dollars more than
the cost of the tricycle. Cam told Joy that God even remembered the sales
tax!

I n our early years of missionary service at Source of Light, our income

was one tenth of what I had previously. Some friends donated used
clothing to the missionaries. Our daughter, Jeanne, began praying for a
graduation dress, so I checked in our “missionary boutique” for a dress. I
found a used dress and showed it to Jeanne, but she said, “That’s not the
dress that I asked God for” so we told her to keep praying. Soon I learned
that a new dress had come in, still in a box. When we showed the glisten-
ing white dress to Jeanne, she said, “That’s the dress I asked God for!” I
suggested that she try it on. I have never forgotten her statement of faith
when she said, “God knows my size,” and it fit perfectly.

M any times since, I have been reminded that God knows the size of
our expanding need worldwide as Source of Light continues to op-
erate by faith in the God who cannot fail – for He is God! He knows our
size.

We consider this ministry as an
efficient tool to do missions. In Acts 1:8, we see that to do missions we
receive the necessary power to do so. But ye shall receive power after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon you. To accomplish this command
you shall be witnesses unto me; for a simultaneous global and local
outreach both in Jerusalem, and in Judea, and in Samaria, and unto
the uttermost part of the earth.

The courses are being used with

great results for evangelism in the
prisons, in the public schools, and
for evangelism in the churches.
The courses are even used by non-
christian teachers that need this
material for religious education.
Children awarded certificates We believe that the biggest
blessing of the Bible courses here
in Brazil is in planting churches. The Source of Light Baptist Church
is proof of how the courses can be used. We began this ministry five
years ago and God has saved many people and edified the Christians.
We would like for you to
pray for the conclusion of the
construction of our church.
The church is located in a very
poor area, but we have seen the
believers trying to be generous
in their investments in the
church. We would appreciate Church building under construction
your prayers because after we
finish this church we would like to plant another one the same way.

We want to thank each one of our supporters and we promise to

pray for each one. We are certain of your support and wish you God’s
blessings (1 Corinthians 15:58).

 Matching Fund Met !
Recently I walked out into the Expansion Project with some guests. They
had been here months ago and were excited about our progress. All the steel
is in place, the second floor poured, partitions up, wiring going in, elevator
ready to install, fire barriers in place, 5000 square feet of ceramic tile ready
to lay — Wow! God is so good. Then came the phone call that told us that
the $50,000 matching grant had just been met. We have so much for which
to praise God.

Expansion Project – Looking Ahead !

The next step is the installation of heating and
cooling units. The price tag is $2,900
per unit and we will need eight units
for the first floor area. Providing one
unit would be a great project for a
church or other group to take on.
We need to begin this work at
once. Looking ahead, we will need

 It is thrilling to see second generation missionaries. David Ingalsbe,
son of Marvin and Betty, SLM Missionaries, grew up here at Source of
Light Ministries. He was saved at an early age, and committed his life
to serve the Lord in Missions. He married a local girl, Debbie West, and
they both attended Moody Bible Institute. David graduated and went on
to complete Moody Aviation training in preparation to be a missionary
pilot. However, the Lord did not continue to lead in that direction.
David and Debbie have
four children, Nathaniel (14),
Nicole (11), Abigail (5), and
Lilly Beth (22 months). They
are very active in Centennial
Baptist Church.
SLM has been very
much in need of people in
our Printing Department
and David was working
part-time there. With Bill
Rosenberger unable to run
the Heidelberg four-color
press alone, we were looking
to the Lord to supply that
need. We asked David if he would pray about joining the work as an
Associate Missionary. This was at a time when God was really doing
something in their lives.
On September 13, 2009, God clearly used His Word to confirm their
decision in joining Source of Light. Isaiah 43:19, For I am about to do a
brand new thing. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a
pathway through the wilderness for my people to come home. I will create rivers
for them in the desert! (NLT)
We praise God for bringing this dedicated couple on board. They
will need to raise about $2,500 support per month. If you would like
them to present the burden of their heart to your church or group, please
contact them at: 1040 West Road, Rutledge, Georgia 30663; 706-474-2513;
dingalsbe@bellsouth.net, or directly through Source of Light.

I never had a conversation like that before. I had called Pastor

Brad Waters to ask a favor. One of our foreign nationals had
just arrived and I called to see if Grace Baptist Church would be
interested in having him present his work at a Wednesday evening
prayer service. It was a last minute request, so I was prepared to
hear a response of “not this time.” I was not prepared for what I
did hear.
Pastor Waters asked, “Is
this man someone we could
support?” I was so surprised
by the question I had to pause
a moment before answering.
“Absolutely!” I told him. “He
has been our director in that
country for ten years now
and has seen thousands come
to Christ and be discipled
through our lessons.” Pastor
Brad assured me the church would love to hear him, and that they
wanted to support that kind of person. Then he shocked me a
second time with his next statement, “When you come,” he said,
“be prepared to give us the names of at least three other Source of
Light missionaries we can support. We are so sold on the work, that
we want to have a large partnership with all SLM is doing around
the world.”
Grace Baptist Church of Monroe, Georgia did meet our
missionary. They did take him on for regular support along with
three others, and through that connection GBC has become the
church home of some of our people. Those who attend there report
people being saved and baptized on a regular basis. A fervent love
for souls and missions, that begins with the leadership, is evident
throughout the church family. GBC is a church that is making a
difference.

 Bill and Bonnie James met as
teenagers in Florida at a Youth for
Christ rally. Married forty-four
years, they have three sons and
four grandchildren. Two of their
sons are in ministry. Two of their
grandchildren are in Alaska where
their oldest son and his wife serve in a small village as missionary
dorm parents to Native teenagers.  
Bill was working with IBM as a programmer when he was called into
ministry over thirty years ago. He began printing tracts as a part of a street
ministry in the Atlanta-inner city projects. Over 18 million tracts, many
in Spanish, were printed during a period of 15 years. In 1990, Bill took
a mission trip to the former USSR before the breakup of communism.
Soon after he began working with the Bible League to help send Bibles
behind the iron curtain. He also worked with Bibles for the World mailing
Scriptures into Central America where so many of his tracts were being
distributed. This was during his forty plus trips there.
In 1994, Bill was part of the founding of The Christian Care Medi-
Share Ministry, for pastors, missionaries, Christian business men and their
families world-wide. He served with them for 12 years. In 2001, Bill had
a heart attack and knew that God had spared his life for some specific job
yet to be done. In 2006, when Bill and Bonnie took a mission trip to Alaska
with their church, they knew it was to work with missions there. That has
been their heartbeat since that trip.    
They knew right away that SLM was a perfect match for the people hard
to reach in the villages of the frozen north. Bonnie had graded lessons at a
Baptist church fifteen years ago and was familiar with the materials. Last
year, they felt the Lord was leading them to join SLM. Bill will be serving
as Director of Public Relations as well as a Field Representative. They pray
that the Lord will open doors for many more Bible correspondence schools,
especially in Alaska.

Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world, and the largest
Muslim country in the world, with a population of 240,000,000. Does God
love Muslims? He must, since He just enabled SLM to establish a new
Branch in Indonesia. 
Early in 2008, God raised up a man,
Brother P (pictured at right), who has a
tremendous burden to reach his country for
Christ. He quit his well-paying job in the
business world in 2007, and began to pray
that God would direct him into ministry.
Little did Brother P know that SLM was
also praying in 2007, that God would lead
them to an Indonesian man with a burden
and a vision to start a new SLM work in the
country. Needless to say, God answered both prayers. When Brother P heard
about SLM, he contacted our office requesting that a representative come to
Jakarta, the capital city, to introduce the SLM ministry. 
After a visit to Jakarta in June of 2008, SLM personnel agreed that
God had His hand on this man. Therefore, on a second visit to Jakarta in
October 2009, Risograph printing equipment was purchased for Brother
P to begin publishing and distributing the SLM Bible courses in the
Indonesian language. He will begin on his home island of Java where he
has contacts with 80-100 pastors.  
Give thanks to God, and pray for Brother P as he starts the SLM Branch
in Indonesia. As God’s Word goes forth, we believe God will use Brother
P and his coworkers to bring in a very large harvest that He has prepared,
and to greatly strengthen the existing churches in Indonesia. God loves
Muslim people and wants them to be heirs of eternal life. His working in
Brother P’s life is all the evidence you need.

17
 God saved me when I was 11 years old and I dedicated my
life to be a missionary when I was 12. I had a burning desire
to be a missionary and wanted to go to the most primitive
people in the world.
After graduating from high school, I went to Tennessee
Temple University. While waiting for God to show me “my
place” I heard a missionary speak about a place in what was
then Dutch New Guinea.  He showed slides from a village
named Senggo. The people were very primitive (in the Stone
Age culture some were still practicing headhunting and
cannibalism).
When I saw his slides it seemed as if God said, “That is
going to be your place.” 
In July, 1964, I went to “my place,” which at that time had
become a part of Indonesia and was Irian Barat, Indonesia —
now Irian Jaya or West Papua, Indonesia.
During my 40 years and three months there, I never once
doubted that I was in God’s will. He gave me the almost
unbelievable privilege of reducing the unwritten language to
writing and translating the New Testament into two languages
— Citak and Tamnim. 
I got to be the first white person to go into an area where the
people were still practicing headhunting and cannibalism. I got
to participate in the church dedication in one of those villages
and hear Boar, the village chief, and former headhunter say,
“Thank you for coming. Thank you for telling us how to go to
Heaven. You brought us out of the darkness into the light.”
God is good and it is a privilege to serve Him. 

18
 My journey with the Lord has been a story of taking
someone weak, unqualified, and spiritually inconsistent
to inconceivable places. My story is one of a great God
using an imperfect vessel for a unique calling that
becomes most apparent when I am forced to look back
and recognize what He has done in my life.
God developed leadership experience as I passed
through management positions in Corporate America. I
developed business experience through the starting of
a small business.  I continued to develop patience and
sensitivity through a wonderful wife and two teenage
daughters.
But the most significant development has been
spiritual.  God placed me in a Christian home and
brought me to Himself when I was young. He nurtured
me through a Baptist church in Decatur, Georgia, to a
point of total surrender in 1986.
The “unexpected” and “unrealistic” becomes most
evident as my current church, Crosspointe Ministries,
partnered with Source of Light Ministries in the
establishment of a Christian School in Ethiopia. At age
52, this is a season of total dependency on God as I
discover my inadequacy and His sufficiency.   
I am honored to now serve on the Board of Source
of Light Ministries, as well as, Elder at Crosspointe
Ministries.  The future is God’s and the possibilities are
endless.

God would heal Guillermo’s kidney
problem.
Pablo and Dalila Correa, SLM Peru,
returned to Peru on November 10,
2009, although still under supported.
Pray that God will provide their
needs so that the ministry will not be
hindered.
At the International Headquarters
in Madison, Georgia, continue to pray
for the need of additional staff, funds
to complete the Expansion Project, and
additional funding for our overseas
Discipleship Training Branches.
Many of our Discipleship Training
Branches have equipment and
transportation needs in addition to
their ongoing ministry needs. If the
Lord burdens your heart, contact the
Field Department for details.
There are many ongoing translation
projects in progress. Pray for their
completion and the funds to get the
completed translations into print.
The ministry in China is growing and
they now have the first two semesters
of World Wide Bible Institute studies
available for use in training pastors.
These pastors are assisting in materials
for North Korea and will carry them in
at the risk of their lives.
The money received for the $50,000
matching funds was a fantastic provision
to be able to continue with the
expansion project at the Headquarters
building in Madison, Georgia.
PhilSOL Director, Dr. Luz Nacionales,
praises the Lord for the funds provided
for their new headquarters building in
the Philippines.

 . . . where moth and rust
doth corrupt and where
thieves break through and
steal (Matthew 6:19).
That’s how Jesus described our earthly treasure store. You
can lock it up and seal it and make it as safe as you can, but the
lesson of the recent economic turmoil is clear — all we thought
we had will inevitably be eaten away, and thieves will most
certainly steal (as many trusting investors tragically learned).
All of which brings up a rather important point; Jesus said
the problem was that we had our savings in the wrong Bank!
The Bank called “earth” is vulnerable to all kinds of dangers that
will eventually reduce all our savings to nothing ­— absolutely
certain! On the other hand, the Bank called Heaven is so secure
that every treasure placed there will be waiting our arrival and
add to our enjoyment forever.
Heavenly treasures are the investments we make in the only
thing in the world that is eternal — the souls of men and women.
A tract handed to a stranger, a Bible lesson sent to a seeking
heart, a fervent prayer lifted to God on behalf of another. Jesus
promised that not even a cup of cold water given in His name
would go unnoticed. Amazingly, even earthly mammon can
be made eternal when invested in the salvation of souls (Luke
16:9). Jesus taught that resources invested in the salvation of
souls would produce eternal friends who would welcome us in
glory.
So what Bank do you trust? Where do you have your
investments? When things fail, where will your treasures be?
May we invite you to consider investing in the ministry of SLM
International. Every year SLM’s investments reap 27,000 souls
or more – and that investment is in the right Bank. Contact Ray
Walker at 706-342-0397 or go to www.sourcelight.org.
