Administrative / Biographical History

The Evangelical Union of South America and Latin Link produced education and outreach materials in a variety of different formats, targetting students in Latin America and evangelical church groups in the United Kingdom. Educational texts and games were produced, but also audio visual materials (such as monthlly prayer cassettes containing news on EUSA and Latin link activities) were produced. A major part of this series consists of sound slide sets, collected 35mm slides accompanied by typed information sheets and a soundtrack on audio cassette or reel to reel tape, in order to raise awareness of the activities of EUSA in the United Kingdom.Missionaries were active in creating educational materials, from writing study texts to taking photographs for use as slides in promotional activities.
