January 29 Today in OPC History

In early January 1938, Henry and Elizabeth Coray were appointed to serve by the Committee of Foreign Missions in Harbin, Manchoukuo. On January 29, Mr. Coray sent a cable to the Committee requesting that their appointment be cancelled. Three weeks later, however, Mr. Coray sent a letter in which he authorized the Committee to defer action on his cable if it so desired. The Committee responded by giving praise to God in the growth of the work in Harbin and in the protection that God had granted to these faithful missionaries during political disturbances and international upheaval in the Far East.
