Grubb Mission
Report – August 2019
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
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.
***************
July Events
As with
most times when I am back in the states, I spend much time in catching up with
office work, material preparation for future trips and speaking appointments,
and, of course, spending time in communication with my wife. We talk two to
three hours each day.
As much as I
wanted to do some traveling while I was back in the states, I did as little
traveling as possible. I was able to go to the Avondale congregation to hear
Don Blackwell speak. Don is scheduled to go back home the first week in August.
He still has a long way to go in his rehabilitation, so please pray for Don and
Sheri.
July 25th
marked the 95th anniversary of my dad’s birthday. He passed away in 2004. My
mother will turn 95 years old on August 15th. If you would like to send her a
birthday card, you can send it to the following address:

*****************
Pray for Eta’s
Visa
As I begin my 73rd mission trip, in August, Eta will
be applying once again for her tourist visa to the United States. Please
remember her in your prayers. If she does not get it this time, we will
probably wait until next year to try again.
Because Eta was not able to travel to the United
States in July, I am returning earlier than planned to be with her before going
on to China during the month of September. While in Sumatra, both she and I
will be teaching English classes to the students at the school. This will give
them the opportunity to hear English spoken by an American as opposed to one of
the local teachers. We are thankful we have local teacher to teach the Bible in
the Indonesian language. It is also the purpose of the school to help the students
to be able to speak some English as well.
Eta will be teaching English grammar to the
students, while I work with them on pronunciation and word usage.
While I am in Lampung, I will also have some
opportunities to teach in the Thursday night Bible class and to preach and
teach on Sundays as well. Of course, these efforts are only possible because of
the local brethren who can provide the necessary translation.
*****************
Financial Support
I usually
only ask for any financial help as we near the end of the year and look forward
to the next year. 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 contributors have had changes
from year to year. We are thankful for the steady support we have received
through the years.
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. Because Eta is traveling with me on most mission trips, there is
the extra cost in airline tickets.
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.
Thank you
from the bottom of our hearts, John and Eta Grubb.
