Rolands in camphospital grounds, Yerpedu,
A.P. IndiaFebruary, 1977. The first hospital
buiJding is in the background. This building
will he used for the rehabilitation workshop
after moving to the new building.
Rolands may live in part of this old building
until a house can be built for them. Notice
the electric pole and linesa completely new
and welcome addition to the area.
Rolands are traveling again. We were able to finish up most of our work at the
Community School, Kotagiri in December. After deciding to move to Queenshill, a boarding
house in Kotagiri, we moved a few items each day, tlien left the school for good on the
last day of December with the truck/camper and trailer. We have rented two rooms and a
garage at Queenshill to provide a bedroom, office and storage. One reason we decided on
Queenshill is the boarding. We figure we will be able ta spend more time on language
study if we don't have to bother with preparation of meals and all that goes with it.
January is the month for renewal of our residential permit. Part of January was
taken up getting the truck/camper ready to travel. We left Kotagiri on the 21st and
reached th~e~hos'pital~~coinpdund at Yerpedu on the 26th^.|nd_ian Republic Day. We gave~the
leprosy patients bananas to help celebrate the day.
We are living in the campet.^nd dividing our time between Yerpedu, Kalahasti and
Madras as we try to get various jobs done. One trip was made to Chittoor, the district
headquarters, to take care of application for residential permit renewal. A few days
were spent in Kalahasti meeting with Lois^J^es and Emrys (the eldest son of the Reeses)
to discuss problems of the work and make plans for the rehabilitation program. It has
taken several weeks in Madras to get equipment repaired, information on building materials
and shopping done.
Progress at the hospital grounds,is. -ei^couraging. The new building is almost finished
and ready to use. Two 20* ic 20' rooms of this new building were completed before we came
i- in 1975. These rooms will be used for a womens' ward and treatment room. While Reeses
I were on furlough in 1975 we started the work on a 20' x 40' mens' ward and bathing and
toilet facilities. An open area between the two sections has been partially enclosed for
^physical therapy use.
There is no place for us to live on the hospital grounds; and we have not been able
to find any place to rent in either Yerpedu or Kalahasti. Patients will be moved into
the new building soon. Plans are to use the present hospital building then for a workshop.
We "may~renovate one roomto-use for our living area until a house can be-built. -
Work is moving along slowly on the pump house cum water tank building. The ground
floor is about complete. When the picture was taken they were working on the reinforced
concrete floor for the second story. Along with everything else, work is being done on
the electrical hookup and plumbing. This is one of the most welcome signs of advancement.
When these are completed we will not only have the blessings that electricity provides for
lighting and cooling, but we will be able to develop irrigation for the agricultural
project and the workshop for the rehabilitation work. The electrical hookup should be
completed before you read this I
Most encouraging of all are signs of spiritual progress. Chandran was baptized
recently. His leprosy was detected early so can be stopped before any disfiguration takes
place. He is a regular worker at the hospital, doing the gardening and other general
chores. Christian love and teaching have led him to accept Jesus as his Savior. Several
patients, and children of one of the Christian staff have also been baptized in recent
months. Some of the patients may face much persecution as they return to their homes, so
please pray much for them. Also please pray for the many patients and some workers who

as yet have not had enough faith and courage to confess Christ as theirSavior and obey Him
and take a stand for Him.
We had expected to be in Kalahasti area for only about a month. The "red tape" for
permitsresidential and vehicleis taking longer than we expected. It looks like we
will be here into March, at least. Then we plan to return to Kotagiri for language study.

NEWS OF WILLIAM & JEAN ROLAND - MISSIONARIES TO INDIA
May 1977 Pray Without Ceasing Vol. 7, No. 2
The new drawing at the top of the news letter this time is meant to give you some idea of
our beautiful surroundings. The Nilgiris (Blue Mountains) is one of Indians largest tea'and ~
coffee plantation areas. There are lakes, streams, waterfalls, wooded hills and a profusion
of flowers and flowering trees. Queen^s Hill, with two buildings, is set in the midst of this
area. Our bedroom and bath are at the right of
the picture, and up the steps of the porch.
This is the main building. On the left you can
see part of the other building, a small one
with two rooms for guests, a garage and pump
room. The open door in the left foreground is
for the room we use as office.
We are back in Kotagiri again. After fin
ishing the Kalahasti area work we went to
Madras for a few days to take care of some
government office work. We left Madras March
23rd and reached Queen's Hill the evening of
the 24th,
A stack of mail was awaiting our return.
On top of the stack was a wire from our sons Rolands with truck & camper at Queenshill
David and Paul informing us of the death of William's Dad on March 21st. Dad had celebrated his
91st birthday in February. He had not been well for six months or so and had been in the
Lincoln, IL Christian Nursing Home since September, 1976.
Last November Jean's Mother fell and broke her hip. Even at 94 she has recovered quickly
and is quite well now. We are grateful for the care the Mt. Healthy staff gives her. Mother
often expresses how happy she is at the home. We are also grateful for special care and atten
tion many friends in the area have given Mother to help her through this difficult time. David's
family and Paul visited Mother at different times in April and found her well and alert. Paul
sent us a tape in which Mother says she is not lonely but getting along fine.
In February Mrs. Blair, our forwarding secretary, sustained a foot injury. She had to wear
a cast and get around on crutches for five weeks. We are happy that she is well now and able to
work again. While Emily was "off duty" Bro. Lloyd Maggard took care of our forwarding agent
work. We are grateful to Emily, Lloyd and all the others in La Crosse who continually help with
our work in so many ways.
Our main reason for being in Kotagiri this time is language study, and we are working on it.
Two of our text books have the very optimistic title, "Learn Telugu in 30 Days." Well, we have
learned some in the first 30 days, but we still have a long way to go. Our knowledge of Hindi
is helping a lot. The sounds of the letters are about the same, and many words have the same
Sanskrit root. But, the script is completely different and there is much new vocabulary to learn,
The alphabet has 15 commonly used vowels and 35 consonants and semi-vowels. Our text says that
after these are learned thoroughly the next step is comparatively easy. The "next step" is about

430 compound letters that are nearly as important as the basic alphabet I So far we have learned
most of the alphabet and a few words. Progress is slow, but it will hopefully speed up and get
more interesting when we begin to learn some grammar and are able to put the words together
meaningfully.
William has had to take out time from language study to work on accounts. The Indian Govern
ment now requires us to report all foreign financial receipts and how they are expended; We
have to maintain a separate set of books for this. It has taken much time to get this all ready,
While we were getting this report ready we also prepared the financial report which is printed
below. As we present it to you we send along our very grateful thanks for the faithful support
of each of you, whether individual or church group. We are sorry we haven*t been able to write
each one personally. Your financial gifts, letters, a couple of parcels, greeting cards and
prayers have enabled us to continue in the Lord's Service.

This time we are writing from our new house in Madras. So you can see we have been
going through the disruptive process oflnovlng again,^which partly accounts for you not
having received any news letters since the May one. Our new address is at the end of this
letter.
Paul and Helen Roland, planning for
foreign service in Spain
First, we want to share with you recent
good news from Paul and Helen. They are
making plans to go to Spain and work with
the Dan Crosleys, former schoolmates of theirs
at Lincoln, IL. Since graduating from
Lincoln Christian College, Paul and Helen have
been ministering with the Liberty Christian
Church near Brownstown, IL. After being
refused entry to India Paul and Helen have
continued their interest in foreign service.
Recent contacts with the Crosleys have led
them to consider, and decide on, work in
Spain. They have resigned from the Liberty
Church and Paul will be finishing his
Master's thesis in Lincoln. Before their
proposed departure for Spain next year they
will be seeking financial support and making
other preparations. They need a sponsoring
congregation as well as Living Link and
Service Link funds. Please rejoice with us
in their decision and pray that all of their needs will be met soon.
In June we interrupted language study
and made another trip to Kalahasti to try
to find a house to rent. After having no
success in that area we went to Madras and
started looking. We finally decided on this
place after spending a couple of weeks look
ing at many places for rent. This house hadn't
been lived in before and needed more work done
on it. - The-landlord agreed to have it ready by
July first, so we returned to Kotagiri to get
packed up. Packing and other things in Kota
giri took longer than we expected. We finally
left Kotagiri July 12th. Even with nearly
two extra weeks to do the work the landlord
still didn't have the place ready. We stayed
in a hotel a couple of weeks then moved in on
Ailgpst-first. We are slowly getting settled
in. Since reaching India we have been living
lout of suitcases, drums and packing cases
/most of the time. It is good to be able to
/ start unpacking.

are on the front wall of the yard. The
camper is parked at the left of the house.
Water tank is on the stairway covering. It
is in a new housing area so there is a lot
of open space on two sides.
The short time we spent on language study led us to realize that it would take about
all our time the rest of this term in India to learn Telugu, not leaving any time for
other work. There is still no place for us to live near the Yerpedu Hospital. A survey of
area has convinced us that things are not favorable there to set up a new rehabili- .
tation program. Yerpedu is far away from the supply of materials, a job market for
trained persons, and a market for products. We feel we can best utilize our time during
the rest of this term by working in Madras. Th^,Eldon Weesner's, who are supported by
the East Tulsa, OK Christian Church, have a metal-working rehabilitation program called
Hope Rehabilitation Center. They have expressed the need for someone to help with their
program. So we have decided to join our wood-working rehabilitation work with theirs and
share facilities and some staff. The program is operated in English so we won't have to
learn another language. The training center is at Ennore now, where the William Gulicks
previously had their work. The Gulicks want to sell that property so Weesners have de
cided to move their Center to Anna Nagar where it will be closer to industrial establish
ments. A new building is going up fast on the Anna Nagar property. We are helping with
the construction of it and hope to be able to move into it soon. Lack of funds, shortage
of materials, red tape and heavy rains have slowed down construction, but with the end of
the monsoon in sight we hope to move forward faster.
Along with the vocational training

for students. There is also a Bible
study program that we will be helping
with. Besides the rehabilitation work
j}we will also be active in the Kilpauk
I Church. This is an English-speaking
group. We placed our membership with
^--this congregation a few Sundays ago.
The Church is in a building program,
having purchased property in Anna Nagar.
William has been asked to serve on the

minister, has also asked William to teacVj

in October/November. This year the convention was set for Kanpur, U.P., and William was
..^nvited to be the main speaker. He was invited to speak last year, too, when it was held
near Sitapur, M.P., where the Bernel Getters are working. We w;ere not able to leave the
Kotagiri Community School work and attend last year, however. This year, though, we were
able to take time off and go. It is a five-day convention, so the main speaker has five
sermons to prepare. .The theme this year was Christian Unity, with Ephesians 4:5 as the
text. Since we have not used Hindi much since 1964 it took a lot of work for William to
get sermons ready in Hindi. It became a family project with Jean helping with translation
and writing. He could have used a translator, but decided it would be better to speak in
Hindi if possible. Even though he had to speak slowly and made some mistakes it worked
out quite well. Everyone said they could understand alright, and many said he didn't need
a translator. It was a real joy and privilege to be back in the Hindi-speaking area and be
able to communicate with the'people freely. We find it very frustrating in this respect
here in the southern part of India.
At
Members of the Kanpur Churches, includingr-Raiph Harter, welcomed us to Kanpur and made
us feel at home again. Jean was born just bO-mile'^s south of Kanpur, at Maudaha; and we
lived there during term in India frdm 1947 td71951. That is where Dr. Rothermel
spent her 50 years in India. Attendance at the convention was very good with groups and
individuals from nearby churches and Madhya Pradesh joining the Kanpur Christians. The
first evening meeting there were about ICQ, and numbers increased each evening to more
than 200. Many were our former students and co-workers, so it was a,real homecoming for
us to meet and fellowship with them again. It was sad to learn that some had fallen by the
wayside, but it was encouraging to learn that most were remaining faithful. We could
see signs of progress numerically and spiritually.
From Kanpur we went by bus to Kulpahar. The first stop was Hamirpur. Masih Prasad,
minister of the Church there, with his wife and some others, met us at the bus stand with
flower garlands and treated us to special tea and sweets in the bus-stand restaurant. It
was a pleasant reunion with Hamirpur people after nearly 15 years. When we lived in
Hamirpur District the trip through Hamirpur was a real ordeal of wading and boating across
the two rivers, except when they were able to put in pontoon bridges. Now there is a new
cement road bridge across each of the rivers so the trip is very enjoyable and easy.
Twenty miles southwest of Hamirpur we passed Maudaha. Unfortunately our bus was
Hot scheduled to stop there so we were only able to see the old home place from a dis
tance. After only about four hours from Kanpur we reached Mahoba, where the Kulpahar
car met usa trip that used to take all day by road and sometimes longer by train. We
had a pleasant couple of days in Kulpahar with friendsLeah Moshier, Dolly Chitwood,
Madonna Burget and several Indian friends and former co-workers.
An over-night train trip took us to Bilaspur where we had lived and worked for six
years from 1954 to 1960. The Bernel Getters and Kududand Church people had arranged"^
week-long convention. We arrived for the last five days; William was the evening speaker
there, too. Ishwari Lai, a former student of ours in the Central India Bible Seminary,
is now President of the Seminary. He had arranged a welcome for us as we arrived from the
trainflower garlands, songs and a folk dance by some of the tribal students from
Sarguja District, where Getters live. Then at the beginning of the evening meeting they
had more garlands, songs and welcome speeches. We were surprised and pleased to have a
fine attendance200 to 300 each evening with people of the local congregation and some
from the Railway Area Churches. The little church building at Kudadand was filled and
many were sitting on chairs and benches out in the yard. Here, too, we rejoiced in meet
ing many former students, co-workers and friends and enjoyed making many new friends.
Many invited and urged us to return to live and work in Bilaspur, something we would like
very much to do. We may be going back to Bilaspur in December and January to teach some
short-term classes in the Seminary. We are committing it all to the Lord in prayer and
ask that you, too, pray with us for His leading.
On our third day in Bilaspur we were thrilled to witness the immersion of a group of
young people into Christ. Some were students in the Seminary. Two were a son and
daughter of Dhanpat Singh, a former student of ours in the Seminary. Dhanpat and his
family now live about 160 miles from Bilaspur in one of the coal mining areas. Besides
his work with the mining company he is leading in the work of a Church in their town of
Bisrampur. Dhanpat and one of the Church members attended the Kanpur Convention the
week before.
Our trip north ended with a visit to Getter's area of work -in Sitapur,.'about 160
miles from Bilaspur. After the last convention meeting we loaded Getter's Jeep Truck and
trailer with luggage and people. We made it to Sitapur about 11 p.m. after two rest
stops for tea and eight hours of driving. The last time we visited Sitapur was in 1957.
Since then the work in the area has grown. They have a large boarding school in Sitapur,
smaller schools in many of the area villages and an agriculture program to help support
the schools and give assistance to local f r m r s
You have probably been getting reports of the cyclone destruction here in southern
India. By the grace of God the Madras and Kalahasti areas were spared. The first cyclone
came ashore 100 miles or so south of Madras. The second traveled up the coast past
Madrasgiving us some anxious hoursand went ashore 200 miles or so north of Madras
in northeastern Andhra Pradesh. There were high winds and rain here but not so much
destruction. Total loss of life will not be known for some time, but more than 10,000
are reported dead so far. It is the worst disaster to hit this cyclone-prone area pf__ .
India in a century.
We are writing this during the Thanksgiving Season. Yesterday we had Thanksgiving
Dinner with the Eldon Weesners, J. Lois Rees and Mary Hansing (a tourist from one of the
Indianapolis Churches). We are reminded constantly of so many things for which to be
thankful. In closing we send our grateful thanks for your continued faithful support.
Please continue to undergird us with prayer, as we pray for you daily. The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
