A Work of the Chestnut Mountain Church of Christ,
Chestnut Mountain, Georgia USA
*********************************
PLEASE PASS THIS REPORT TO THOSE YOU THINK MIGHT HAVE
INTEREST IN OUR WORK!
If any congregation would like for me to come and give
a report of our work, please let me know so that we can schedule it.

Back to Asia
I returned to the states on October 10th. For
the last several days I was in Indonesia, I had the privilege to preach and
teach at the Asoka congregation in Lampung, Sumatra. I am scheduled to return
to Asian on November 5th. After I get back to Indonesia, I will spend two weeks
teaching the gospel according to Luke at the Southern Sumatra Bible Academy.
Eta, Jessica, Jovita, and I will go to
Singapore for the Four Seas College Lectures near the end of November. On
December 2nd, the two girls will return to Indonesia and Eta and I will travel
on to Taiwan for teaching on the island.
On the way back to the states, my youngest
brother, Jim, died. He was 60 years old. He had been in hospice care for a short
while and passed away on October 9th. His funeral was on October 14th. I was
able to travel up for the funeral and to be able to visit with my mother and my
two remaining siblings.
On my first Sunday back in the states
(October 13th), I had the privilege to preach at the Chestnut Mountain
congregation then do my mission report that evening.
On Friday, October 18th, I had the privilege
to speak on the World Missions Forum conducted by the Forest Park congregation
in Atlanta.
October 20-23 found me conducting a gospel
meeting at the Cape Fear church in Fayetteville, NC. Byran Hatcher is the good
preacher there.
On the 24th of October, I went with Byran to
the preacher training school in Sumter, SC where Melvin Sapp preaches.
On October 26-27, I attended and spoke on the
Southeast Georgia Lectureship in Richmond Hill, GA, where Riley Nelson is the
long-time preacher there.
Please remember me in prayer as I travel back
to Indonesia in the early minutes of November 5th.

Financial Support
It is now the time of year when congregations
start making their budgets for the next year. Also, as we get near to the end
of the year, brethren think about making one-time contributions to a work, or
make a decision to become a regular supporter of a work. Our brethren have been
generous through the years and we are thankful for the continued generosity
which makes this work possible.
For the past thirty-eight years of our work,
our contributions and some of our contributors have changed from year to year.
We are thankful for the steady support we have received through the decades.
We hope that in the coming year, 2020, we
will be able to keep our current contributions, and, if possible, to have some
new contributors begin to support our work. It may be possible that some of our
contributors will be able to increase their contributions in the new year. If
that is possible, it will be greatly appreciated.
If you know of brethren who might be
interested in becoming part of our work, please forward this report to them, or
put them in touch with me so that I can inform them of the work we are trying to
do in evangelism and edification. This year, except for China and the United
States, my wife is traveling with me on all of my mission trips. I am thankful
she is able to do this to enhance the work we are doing. Because of our
inability to obtain a visa for her, I am spending more time overseas than I
normally would. We have another trip scheduled for the end of November through
the middle of December. We will then be going to several cities in Indonesia
during the months of February and March, 2020, to encourage the churches in
those cities.
Thanks to you who have already made a
contribution to keep our work going. John and Eta Grubb.
