ST. MARYS, WV 26170 Sometime ago, some of you
helped the Mkoloweko church of Christ with food and money during
the famine. In a recent letter, they stated they had about 500
in attendance. They are in need of Bibles and are using the King
James version. If you would like to help, please send them to:
Mkoloweko church of Christ, PO Box 14, Mawelo Lilongwe, Malawi,
Central Africa. The postage is very expensive so please keep this
in mind when considering the number of Bibles you send. Dana Tawney,
for the Mt. Nebo Church of Christ, RR 2 Box 417-F.

MARTINSBURG, WV 25401 The work at Martinsburg
continues to flourish and do well. We lose some and gain others.
It seems that we are able to move forward in spite of the difficulties
we face. We recently began broadcasting two radio programs. One
of these is a Sunday morning program (Winford Claiborne). The
other is Monday-Friday (W.E. Skipper). We also mail Heart-to-Heart
into over 2,000 homes. I will be starting my eighteenth year with
this good church in a few months. The future looks bright and
we face it with optimism. Our best wishes to West Virginia
Christian. We look forward to our monthly bundle. Warren Kenney,
90 Waverly Court.

of Speech." It is 139 pages of simple hermeneutical principals
of interpretation that are easily understood and reasonable priced.

READER, WV 26167 I was in the hospital and didn't
realize my subscription was due to be renewed. Enclosed is my
check. I sure appreciate these good preachers giving us these
great lessons. I enjoy the Mountain Messenger. It is very
informative. Thanks. Martha Glasscock, Box 292, Railroad St.
WILLIAMSBURG, VA 23188 As the new year begins
we are anticipating God blessing us with more and more opportunities
to share His Word with the lost. Already this year, a young man
dropped in on a Sunday evening service and came back every Sunday
evening thereafter. He came the first time on Sunday morning about
three weeks ago. After a personal Bible study on Wednesday night,
he was baptized into Christ on the following Sunday. He did not
come the first time because someone invited him, but because he
was looking for something that was lacking in his life and found
out that that which was lacking was Jesus. Brethren, if we fervently
and constantly ask God to send people to us that are seeking the
truth, He will answer our prayers. Anytime you are in the Williamsburg
area visiting the birthplace of America, please stop in and visit
with us. Bill Butterfield, 277 Merrimac Trail.
MARSHALL, MI 49068 Thank you for your good work.
