Dear Friends in Christ Jesus,

Acts 1: 8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Is it not a wonderful privilege to serve Christ "unto the uttermost part of the earth"? The prince of preachers said in WITNESSING BETTER THAN KNOWING THE FUTURE "the text says, ‘Ye shall be witnesses’; not ‘Ye shall act as witnesses’ only, but ‘Ye shall be witnesses.’ Every true Christian should, in his own proper person, be a witness for his Lord. ‘Here I stand,’ says he, ‘myself a proof of what my Lord can do. I, his servant, saved by him, and renewed by him, washed in his blood, it is I who, while I live, whether I speak or not, am a monument of his love, a trophy of his grace.’ ‘Ye shall be Witnesses unto me.’" A "trophy of his grace"!

In February’s letter we mentioned a Baptist pastor who had fallen into immorality and sadly again just a few weeks ago we received an email informing us of a missionary of many years, leaving his wife for an unsaved woman. We know we too need to take heed lest we fall, 1 Corinthians 10: 12. It is sad to think of this man’s dear wife now preparing to return to the states, alone. How our hearts ache for her, and him. Again let us reflect on 1 Peter 5: 8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." As a believer, no matter what our age, our life’s goal ought to be that we "have fought a good fight" we "have finished my (our) course, I (we) have kept the faith" 2 Timothy 4:7. How quickly that trophy of grace can be tarnished!

Be assured the unsaved are watching as we live and move among them. Our life, actions and words, is about all any of them will ever know of the Lord Jesus Christ. David has made acquaintances with many people around the city and one of those operates the local McDonalds. Ian telephoned one evening and asked if David would like to come in and see how the new kitchen they had just installed operated. David said he would as it gives him time to be with Ian and opportunity to have some time with the young people working there. This photo is of Ian informing David as to the procedure for heating the buns in the new oven. Please pray that Ian and others will read the tracts given and also see "Christ in you (us), the hope of glory" Colossians 1: 27 and be saved.

We want to thank those who have recently sent in special gifts and again a big thank you to those who faithfully support us each month or quarterly. "Now I (we) beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me (us) in your prayers to God for me (us)" Romans 15:30, so that we "may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God" Colossians 4:12.

Serving the Saviour with you,
