* LOI 1965-10: [Black] Assembly Grows in Compton, Calif.: "Robert Dawson, formerly of the West Lawn Bible Chapel in Chicago, Ill., has been leading a Sunday school and gospel effort among [Blacks] in Compton, Calif. for the last several years. From the first he desired to establish an assembly testimony there. Visitation, and planned dinners and picnics have brought results. Stanley LaMar, who is working hard with the Grace Bible Chapel, the men of the Dominguez Chapel, and Mrs. Housman of Fullerton have helped to encourage him. The work continues under difficult circumstances. For about two and a half years the Christians have been meeting in Mr. Dawson's home, and are now looking for more adequate quarters." See [[Sunago Grace Covenant Church, Compton, CA]].
