They'll wash 'em or watch 'em.
And when the washing and watching is over, four Louisiana Baptist students will be on their way to Baptist missions in the Pacific Northwest, Paraguay and Hawaii.
Baptist students of New Orleans have started a month-long project of giving — only they're giving time and service for the greater glory of the missions.
The time is" the free time of student nurses from Charity and Baptist hospitals and Touro infirmary, premedical students from the Louisiana State university and Tulane schools of medicine, and college students from Tuldne and Loyola and LSU.
The service is elbow grease used by the students in washing cars and baby-sitting. Goal Is $800 Here
The goal is $800 from the New Orleans area to be added to a general Louisiana Baptist fund to send four students to Baptist missions for the summer.
The students, selected by the summer missions committee of the student department of tne Louisiana Baptist convention from a list of applicants who volunteered to contribute their summer vacations to work in mission fields, will work |or no salary in hospitals and churches.
But one problem remained after the selection: lack of funds to finance the four trips.
"Then came the giving," said Jack Dean, director of the New Orleans Baptist Student Union. "Since most of the students couldn't afford too much money, they decided to give their time. and good old elbow grease in making money." ...
New Orleans Baptist students have a special reason for working on the project. One of the four students selected is Carter Cox Jr., a Louisiana State university medical student, who will work as a laboratory technician in a Southern Baptist mission hospital in Asuncion, Paraguay.
