Dear Brethren:

    Thank you so much for your continued and faithful support of Russia. Your financial assistance to this work is helping preach God's Word to the World. There is no greater cause than to support than the carrying the saving message to a lost world. Paul wrote; "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" (Romans 1:16). Your support is very much needed and appreciated!

    The Lord's work in Singapore through Four Seas Bible College continues to do a wonderful work in training dedicated Christians to teach and preach the Word of God. When I think of the great opportunity that God has given us to reach many lost souls in the Far East, I am so thankful for the work of Four Seas Bible College. We are now receiving Christians from Vietnam who, being properly trained, will go back and teach their own people. Then I think of the over one billion souls in China, to whom we cannot openly teach and preach, I rejoice that they can come from China to Singapore and be trained in Four Seas Bible College and then go back to their homeland with the Gospel of Christ. With your support, you are helping in this effort. Please read the following quote from one of our students from Vietnam - "I have learned many things from this course on "Personal Evangelism" which has helped to prepare me to teach others so that they too can know God" Huynh Hong Hal (Can Tho, Vietnam). Again what an opportunity!

    Preparations are going well in making the Russian version of the "Searching For Truth," DVD. The book material is already translated and in about two months two brethren from the Ukraine will be arriving in the U.S. to do the "voice over" into the Russian language. Making this available for the Russian speaking people will be a great aid in getting God's Gospel all over Russia! I have been to Russia about twenty times. What a blessing it will be to be able to hand out to the. multitudes a DVD containing sound Gospel teaching in their own language. Please remember this work in your prayers.

    The preaching of the Gospel to millions of Indians continues via Satellite, printed magazines and Bible Correspondence courses. Since the inception of the Bible course in India, over three million precious souls have taken this course. There are good things happening in the world and I am happy that you and I can be a part of it. May God continue to bless you and thank you again for your support.

In His service,
