There were some local newspaper stories and photographs about Louhelen in August 1965. Thelma Cooley, Linda Drake, Glenn Morgan, Susan McMann, Gregory Dahl and Richard Kochman went to Indianapolis to staff a project promoting the religion from Louhelen. They specifically reached out to Haughville, a low-income black community, and two middle-income integrated and white areas. Some 550 homes were visited, 150 contacts made, 35 serious inquiries were made, 10 undertook what was felt to be serious study of the religion, and seven joined the religion. Susan McMann extended her stay in the area. Later another team of Carolyn, Linda and Susan Drake, Terence and Sheila Amerson undertook a public meeting and group discussions in Racine, WI, following their stay at Louhelen.
