    F. Randall Whetzel

    Randall and Dorothy Whetzel were commissioned as missionaries by the Congregation of Immanuel Temple, Portland, Oregon, in mid-1939. This photo was taken after their safe return from the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). The founder and pastor of Immanuel Temple, Rev. William E. Booth-Clibborn, is seated with Dorothy and Randall in the photo above. The Congregation of Immanuel Temple was truly favored by God to have Rev. Booth-Clibborn as its pastor. He was a grandson of General Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. He was Randall and Dorothy’s spiritual mentor for many years. His enthusiastic and unwavering support never flagged. Randall and Dorothy set sail for the Dutch East Indies in 1940, with no inkling of course of what lay ahead of them. How could the congregation, family, and friends even remotely suspect that just two years later, they would vanish from sight, location unknown, and be enveloped in a silence that lasted three and one-half years?
