November 1987:  The Soviet Union celebrated the 70the anniversary of Communist rule of Russia.  November 1988:  The Soviet Church celebrated the 1,000th anniversary of Christianity in Russia.  November 1991:  The Soviet Union fell one month later.  RED NOVEMBER.  A time of change, a time of challenge.  As the Russian people remembered the 1917 political revolution that resounded change across the continents, the Russian Church rejoiced that it had survived for a thousand years in spite of a system intent on destroying Christianity.  Now, the "new" policies challenge every believer to reconsider even the most basic assumptions about the goals of the Russian government and the future of the Russian Church.  This is the story of one man's experience behind the Iron Curtain, as he shares his perspective of Soviet change, the American Church and the opportunities for outreach never before available.  But how long will those opportunities remain available?  What can we do right now to support the Russian Church before the doors close once again?

THE GOOD SEED. That's what the Tzeltal Indians of Southern Mexico call the Bible. In the 1940's they were a despised people, isolated, abused, exploited--explainably hostile toward the rest of the world. They were know for their drunkenness. Disease was rampant due to a lack of hygiene and nutrition. Ignorance, superstition, cruelty, destructive tribal customs, and indolence branded them as objects of discrimination by others and gave them a sense of inferiority. Music was seldom heard; joy and laughter were absent.  Today the Tzeltals enjoy singing, 322 churches dominate their territory. Schools, clean (though still simple) homes, crops, the products of learning and hard work, are their new landmarks. A sense of community pride, civic organization and joy mark the nearly 50,000 Tzeltal believers. Personal hygiene, and medical services are provided through an indigenous system of more than 80 clinics.  What made the difference? Their reply is, "The Good Seed," their name for the Bible. Who made the difference? The answer--"Jesus." When you ask them, "How?" they'll tell you about Marianna Slocum, revered as their "Spiritual Great Grandmother," who reduced their languages to writing, translated the Word of God into two of them and taught them to read. And they'll talk about Florence Gerdel, RN, who brought the healing touch of medicine.  The Tzelta's history in local legend is couched in the terms "Before Marianna" or "After Marianna." In THE GOOD SEED, Marianna tells her story, which spans nearly five decades, in a gripping and inspiring way which will bring you to love Marianna and her Indian Friends.
