AUBURN HILLS, MI 48326 The work here in Auburn
Hills continues to be an exciting challenge. We were able to add
a fifth shepherd early this year. We have had three baptisms and
a restoration in the last few weeks. The Spanish language work
with brother Esteban Beltran continues to do well. Brother Chuck
Anderson, one of our shepherds, may be able to work full time
in the area of personal work for the second year during the winter
months. As the New Year approaches Sandra and I will begin our
14th year of work here. What a blessing it has been. We continue
to enjoy your wonderful paper. We have a great interest in the
work in West Virginia and surrounding areas and still maintain
a home there. I am able to do two mission meetings this year and
next; if we can help any congregation please let us know. My mother,
Hattie Jones (83) has been here with us since May of this year.
I am happy to renew my subscription and am providing a little
extra help in your great work. Richard M. Jones, Jr., 3160 Phillips

WINONA, MS 38967 Greetings from Winona, Mississippi!
Bonnie and I finally made it down to Winona to labor alongside
of J.C. and Betty Choate, as well as others ... Among our urgent
needs presently is to secure a sponsoring congregation to receive
funds for us; one or more congregations are considering this undertaking
presently ... Secondly, we must raise the balance of our monthly
support as soon as possible! Therefore we are seeking as many
appointments with congregations, elders, preachers' meetings,
and individual Christians as possible. Monthly and one-time contributions
of all sizes are desperately needed and much appreciated. Please
advise me of contacts that I may develop. In lieu of or as a precursor
to a visit, a media presentation can be viewed on the Internet
at http://www.gospelgazette.com/worldevangelism/newteammembers.htm.
Bonnie and I have great confidence in the providence of God, and
we are equally determined to glorify God, and edify others and
ourselves with the Gospel of Christ as best we can. Please pray
for us toward that end. Please communicate our desire to be used
up as tools in the hands of the living God. Louis Rushmore, 705

SISTERSVILLE, WV 26105 - Our work with the church
here is most enjoyable and God is blessing it with increases in
every department. Offerings, attendance, and attitudes are all
steadily improving and allowing us to see many benefits in our
community. We have had fifteen or so baptisms in the first few
months and several more are pending. New families are coming our
way from the community. Our attendance has increased from 12-15
on Sunday mornings to 60-80 at present. One of our greatest joys
is to see the walls going up on the new addition to our 112-year-old
building. It will be a handsome improvement and allow us the space
to broaden many of our efforts. We sincerely thank all the churches
and individuals who helped us to make this dream come true. Our
efforts were delayed in the early summer due to the untimely death
of our contractor. We now have another fine company that is on
the job site and moving ahead with the building program. Plans
call for the project to be almost completed by the first of 2008.
The church is postured for a continued growth pattern. Please
keep us in your prayers. My work as Director of Church Relations
at Ohio Valley University is one of the most exciting things I've
done in recent years. Keeping in touch with nearly five hundred
preachers, elders and churches has afforded me the opportunity
to see first hand the great things happening in our brotherhood,
and to be able to reach out to assist struggling congregations
and individuals. The blessings Nina and I enjoy just keep getting
bigger and better with the passing of the years. Remember to pray
for our success, as we do for you! -Tom Butterfield, 901 Tyler
