At our bible study at Howell tonight, the brethren are going to help mark the student's bibles that Rosemary and I will be useing on the mission in Bayou La Batre, Al., next week. We were going to pass on some more info about the progress of the new work at BLB but I received and e mail from Charlie in Bay St. Louis about their campaign and was so encouraged by it that I thought I would share some of this news with you. It is called "Victory in Christ Campaign in Bay St.Louis, Ms." 18 Christians there have been walking up and down the streets of Bay St. Louis and Waveland and have held 15 bible studies and have had 3 baptism as of April 17. There are several more studies set up for the rest of the week. They have a meeting that begins today thru Sat. Brs. Mike Price and Willie Tolison will rotate as speakers. Isn't that great? Who says personal evangelism doesn't work anymore? Who says people are not interested in studying the bible anymore? Brethren the gospel is still the power of God unto salvation. Brethren we can do it. We have got to focus on seeeing the possibilities (Jn.4:35) and not "freting and hand wringing "on the impossibilities. Our seminars on the open bible study are going great. The brethren are amazed at how easy this method of teaching can be and how receptive people are to this method of study. Our next seminar begins at the Friendship Church the first Wed. night of May. It takes about 5-6 Wed. nights to teach this so it can be effective. I believe after that We go to Howell. After that we are fully booked until sometime in Oct. If you are in driving distance and want this method of teaching presented at your congregation, we will be happy to do this. Rosemary and I do not request or will we take a fee for this work. If you are in a distant place, where we can not drive, I know teachers who will be happy to help. Isn't the news from Bay St.Louis encouraging. Have to get ready to go to Bible study at Howell. By the way some more good news about Howell. Bible study is in one of the members homes tonight, because our building is being remodeled. Don
