This thesis is intended to provide contributions in four specific areas:
This thesis is intended to contribute to the researcher's knowledge
of the nature of mission work and mission research and to develop and
demonstrate his ability to record his observations and conclusions.
This thesis is intended to give the different missions at Zuni an
objective look at their work together with suggestions for improving
it.
This thesis is intended to give the Abilene Christian College
Missions department more information and written material to help in
the work of missionary education.
This thesis is primarily intended to present a plan for the Churches
of Christ to begin an effective evangelistic effort among the Zunis. It
will also provide a study of mission work (especially among American
Indians) from which general principles for missions may be drawn.
