Cont’d from Page 1 They have collated, printed, boxed and shipped in my absence. All of this is done mostly by retired veterans who volunteer their time for the Lord.

This was a huge blessing in the loading of the container in Girard, KS. $14,500.00 for another truck load of paper for more Spanish as well as W o r l d funding for a Parallel Japanese and English John/Romans that we have been asked to print. As I travel and listen to pastors tell of events in their city, I can’t help but think about the Rapture. We are definitely seeing evil on every side of us. “Good is being called evil and evil is being called good”. God’s Word is what is needed to settle the issues and to settle each one’s eternal destination! I have enclosed with our prayer letter a flyer for our annual “Rolls for Souls” campaign. We greatly appreciate your generous offering to purchase more paper to meet the many requests. Would you please prayerfully consider what God would have you do this year to meet the goal of $17,000.00 in paper money. This would allow us to purchase a truckload of paper. M i ss i o n s Work, for the night is coming, Work through the morning hours; Work while the dew is sparkling, Work ’mid springing flowers; Work when the day grows brighter, Work in the glowing sun; Work, for the night is coming, When man’s work is done. -Lowell Mason (1792-1872) In His Service, Samuel E. Martin ROLLS FOR SOULS It’s that time of year again for our annual “Rolls for Souls” paper fund campaign. In years past we have been able to raise enough money to purchase one hundred rolls of paper which has printed approximately 1,500,000 Gospel of John and Romans. What a blessing it would be to raise enough money this year to purchase another truck load of paper consisting of 40 rolls of paper meeting the requests for scripture to Japan, India, Honduras, Philippines and church planting efforts in the United States. Please pray and give as God leads you to do so. His Word will not return void, but will accomplish that which HE pleases. I know for a fact from listening to testimonies of people who have been saved as well as from the missionaries we have sent scripture to that this effort is working. Hundreds of thousands are being saved! Praise the Lord for those who are faithfully giving to reach lost souls around the world. I appreciate your prayerful response to this great need.
