Hameloth, David (Europe Trip - 23 August 1972)

David Hameloth, 21-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hameloth of Willard, left for Munich, Germany on
August 23 with 130 other college youth and 15 teacher and pastor supervisors for an 18-day assignment with the Ambassadors in Mission. A.I.M. is a project of the Assemblies of God churches designed to give youth experience overseas.

The young people will be teamed up with 150 other youth from all over Europe to help with the language barrier on “Olympic Outreach.” The Olympics are expected to attract two million people to Munich.’’

Dave, who graduated from Greenwood High School in 1969, has had special training and experience and will witnessing for Christ for seven to eight hours each day in coffee houses and on the streets. He will be staying at the University of Munich and will be able to see some of the Olympics. His plane trip from New York to Brussels, Belgium, was followed by a 10-hour train ride to Munich. He was required to raise his own fare and other expenses of about $600; four churches and many friends, and relatives assisted him, thus making the trip possible. He plans to return September 9 to Springfield, MO., to attend Central Bible College where he will be a junior this year.

Dave’s younger sister, Judy Kay, took him to St. Louis, Mo., to catch his plane ad then went on to Springfield to continue her studies at Burge School of nursing, where she is a junior student nurse this year, attending on a full scholarship. While enroute, they visited briefly with relatives and friends at Galesburg, Rushville and Pittsfield, Ill., and in St. Louis.

Judy together with five other college youths took part in a smaller A.I.M. project for six weeks this summer at Pittsfield.

Dave’s address in Germany is: David Hameloth, Maryplaty School, Maryplaty 1 Munich Germany.
