Late July Activities

 

      Because my last trip to Asia kind of messed up my report schedule, I did not send out my July report until the middle of the month. So, the August report begins with the second half of the month of July.

 

      On July 17th, I headed to the Palatka, Florida area to visit with Mike and Lydia Tubbs and also the brethren at the College Road Church in Palatka. I had the privilege of giving a report of my recent overseas mission trip on Sunday   evening, July 20th at College Road. They are one of the congregations supporting my work.

 

      When I returned home, I worked on the final drafts of my manuscripts for the Four Seas College Lectures in Singapore and the Southeast Georgia Lectures in Richmond Hill, GA. The Richmond Hill lectures are in late October and the Four Seas College Lectures are in late November.

 

      I am happy to report my fractured right foot is now completely healed. The doctor has released me. For now, I am leaving the screw in my foot. No thanks to more surgery. Thanks for your prayers.

News and Letters from Around the World

 

SYMPATHY: It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of Don Greene II. Don was the son of Don and Janice Greene, the husband of Kellie Greene, and the father of Mikaela and Matthew Greene. He had been battling cancer for about three years. He was a Registered Nurse and worked for Anthem, but first and foremost, he was a gospel preacher and an elder in the Lord’s church. He was 47 years old. I knew him for most of his life and appreciate the good work he did in the Kingdom. He will be missed. Funeral services and burial took place in mid-July in Terre Haute, Indiana. Please continue to remember his family in prayer.

 

GOSPEL MEETINGS: I am conducting two gospel meetings during the month of August. I will be at the Northside Church of Christ in Terre Haute, IN – August 10-13. Then I will conduct a weekend meeting at the Coal City, IN Church of Christ – August 15-17. If you are in the area and have an opportunity to attend, we will look forward to seeing you.

 

REMEMBERING MY DAD’S BIRTHDAY: Had my dad lived, he would have turned 90 years old on July 25th. He has now been gone for over ten years.

 

MEMORIAL: A contribution was made in memory of Don Powell, who passed away on June 19th. The contribution was made by his mother, Hazel Powell.
