Is 55:11 So shall my word
be that goeth forth out of
my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it
shall accomplish that which
I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I
sent it.
What a blessing to hear
from church planters, in the
United States, as well as
foreign missionaries of the
lost souls that have been
saved as a result of the
Gospel of John and Romans.

focused on the importance
of getting God’s Word out

was such a blessing and to
top it all off the churches in

So far this year we have

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.
It is always a challenge to raise the
funds for all the printing requests
but especially these past 6 months.
We are very appreciative of the recent paper support received so we
could complete the projects I just
listed.

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.

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.

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.
