Actually Haruo, I know little about what became of the church. We were renting a failed-restaurant building. I was an enlisted USAF man, and "rotated" back to USA in Dec. 1962. The Previously-ordained Sergeant, Vonley Day, we chose to be our pastor, rotated back to USA about 6 months later. Soon after returning to States, Sgt. Day learned that he had cancer. I think he died within a year. When I returned to my home church, FBC Tulsa, in January 1963, I was asked to address the men's prayer breakfast and tell about the church in Libya. After my speech I was asked "Is there anything we can do to help?" The church was using 3 different hymnals because it had no more than 12 of each. I told them they would love to have about 50 copies of the latest Baptist Hymnal. DONE! I heard that the hymnals arrived, but didnt have contact with any of the folks after that. I have a vague recollection that we had one baptism, while I was there. We did that in the Mediterranean Sea.
Jesus paid the price for me and everybody.
