Commendations

  • L&L 1950-1:

Lombard & Wheaton: Aug. 15, 1949: "It is with great joy that we commend to the care and fellowship of the Lord's people our brother and sister, Dr. and Mrs. William Martin Allen, who have felt the call of the Lord to His work in the Belgian Congo. Dr. and Mrs. Allen were in happy fellowship in the assembly at Lombard, Illinois, where they have won the esteem of their brethren by their godly life and consistent testimony.

They spent two years in Hawaii where Dr. Allen interned in The Queens Hospital, and since their return they have been in fellowship also in the assembly in Wheaton, Illinois. Our brother and sister plan in the will of the Lord to labor at the Mulongo Station in the Belgian Congo where J. Alexander Clarke has been stationed for many years.

For a number of years we have been aware of the great need for a medical missionary at the Mulongo Station, and we feel our Brother Allen's qualifications as a physician and his ability to minister the Word of God will meet this long felt need."

Signed on behalf of the following assemblies:

  • Lombard Gospel Chapel, 40 West Ash St., Lombard, IL: Robert A. Hanson, Richard O. Neal, Willard L. Rodgers, Chas. S. Howard, F.D. Wilson, W.S. Kellar.
