LaGRANGE, OH 44050 I will conclude two years of
labor with the small congregation here at the end of October.
Numerically, we cannot report growth. In fact, just the opposite
due to some who have transferred south due to employment needs,
and others who have become unfaithful to their Lord. However,
the ones we have converted are very faithful. We are striving
to make the church known through extensive advertisement, Gospel
Meetings, etc. This is a very difficult area. We need your help!
If you are in this area or if you know of others who might be
moving to this area, please refer them to us. Let us know of their
whereabouts and we will contact them. We are also always in need
of financial assistance for my support. If you can help, we would
deeply appreciate it. All contributors are kept well informed
concerning the progress of our work. Pray for us that the Lord
will send us workers. Don Cooper, PO Box 273.
