Siam: Kenneth's New Idea: Epistolary Evangelism

Kenneth could visit people in the country about once a year, and the postal system was reliable. He decided to start "epistolary evangelism" and wrote letters to the people he visited and other interested persons. This allowed him to keep in touch with them. Margaret comments that Kenneth was following the apostle Paul's pattern. Years later the Landons realized that these letters were very treasured. Each letter was an event, and the recipients would read them over and over. Many people lived in isolated areas and had no communication with the rest of the world. Many wrote asking for those letters.
