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.

WVBS Filming and SWSBS Graduation

 

      Before traveling to Texas on July 7th, I first traveled to Bremen, Georgia to speak on their summer series. My topic was “Moses and Christ – Type and Anti-Type. The following Monday (7th), I went to Maxwell, Texas to film nine more lessons in Chinese to complete a fifty-seven lesson re-taping of “More Basic Facts” of the Faith.

 

      I arrived in Texas on Monday, July 7th. Beginning on Tuesday, I spent the next three days recording the Chinese lessons at World Video Bible School. Someone asked me how many video lessons I have recorded. When I began to think about it, I realized that I have been in front of a camera close to 500 times. This includes both English and Chinese lessons.

 

     On Friday, I moved in to the Austin, Texas area to attend the banquet and graduation for the Southwest School of Bible Studies at the Southwest Church of Christ. This was the first time I had the opportunity to attend this banquet. The food was very good (Dickie’s Barbeque) and the speeches given by the graduates were very encouraging.

 

      On Sunday, Tom Moore (the father of one of the graduates) preached at both the morning and evening services. After the evening services, the Commencement Exercises began. There were a number of speakers including: David Locke, one of the elders at Southwest; John Moore, one of the teachers at the school; and Rick Brumback, the director of the school. John Chen, the son of William and Yolanda Chen, led the singing on Sunday evening and I had the privilege to lead the closing prayer for the program.

 

      We were glad Frank and Betty Parker and Wendell and Doris Fikes were also able to attend the weekend activities. They are also friends and supporters of the Chen family. Thanks to all of our Texas brethren who extended their hospitality and friendship on the recent trip to the Lone Star State.

 

      In August, John Chen will head to Searcy, Arkansas to begin studying at Harding. At the end of August, William and Yolanda will go back to Taiwan, living in the city of Taipei, to begin their efforts there. It will take them a little while to get “squared away” before diving into the work before them. I will look forward to seeing them in September when I am there. Please keep the Chen family in your prayers.

Habersham County Church of Christ VBS

 

      After returning from Texas on Monday, I traveled to Habersham County that evening to hear Barry Hatcher talk about his work in Indonesia and his efforts with Fishers of Men. It was good to see Barry and Melany Hatcher again.

 

      On Tuesday evening, I spoke about our work among the Chinese people and also gave some information concerning the Chinese culture. The teachers in the classes for younger children tailored their lessons to go along with overseas mission work in places like Indonesia and China.

Singapore and Malaysia Trip

 

      Before leaving for my 52nd overseas mission trip to Singapore and Malaysia in late May and June, I had the privilege to preach at the Chestnut Mountain congregation.

 

      In less than 24 hours after I left Atlanta, I arrived in Singapore. I did not have to wait very long in immigration and my luggage was waiting for me at the carousel. After getting to the hotel and getting all my luggage sorted out, I got to bed about 3:45 AM local time. I had planned to sleep until about 8:00 or 9:00 am. When I finally woke up, it was 12:15 PM! That was a first for me! After getting up and getting cleaned up, I was able to run my normal errands on the first day back in Asia.

 

      On Friday night through Sunday morning, a gospel meeting was conducted at the Jurong Church of Christ with Chris Herd. I had the privilege to attend these series of meetings. On Sunday evening, I attended the Chinese service at the Lim Ah Pin congregation.

 

      On Monday morning, I boarded the bus chartered my members of the Jurong congregation to travel to Malaysia to attend the Chinese Asian Bible Lectureship (CABL). Note: The reason I fly to Singapore instead of Kuala Lumpur is because of the savings in cost. The price is about half what it would cost to fly directly to Kuala Lumpur. Also, the time needed to complete the trip is about eight hours quicker.

 

      I had the privilege to speak at the 9th Annual Chinese Asian Bible Lectureship. The lectureship this year was conducted at a resort outside of Port Dickson, Malaysia. There were nine speakers and about 200 people from Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, China, and the USA who attended the lectureship. Thanks to Ong Eng Boon and Jedediah Yuan for serving as the coordinators for this effort. The theme this year was: “Trusting God in Times of Adversity.” I had the privilege of speaking twice at the lectureship as well as serving on one of the three question and answer panels. The lectureship will be in Johor Bahru, Malaysia next year.

 

      After the lectureship, I headed for Section 17 (which is in the greater Kuala Lumpur area of Malaysia) where I conducted a weekend gospel meeting on the theme of the importance of “Remembering.” I also had the opportunity to spend some time with many of my friends there as well.

 

      Before speaking at the Kota Kemuning congregation which is also in the Kuala Lumpur area; I attended a visitation and funeral for the mother of Allen Tan. In addition to presenting three lessons at KK, we made visits to the hospital and also to a prospect. On Monday, I headed back to Singapore to catch my flight home.

 

      I took a number of books and other materials with me to distribute among some of the brethren in both Singapore and Malaysia. On a future trip, I am hoping to bring out more Chinese DVD’s for use among the Chinese speaking people in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and China.

 

      Thanks to all of my supporters who make these efforts possible. I am thankful for your financial help, but also thankful for your prayers on my behalf as I make these trips both domestic and overseas.

April Lectureships and Gospel Meetings

 

      I had the privilege to attend two lectureships and two gospel meetings during the month of April. It was good to see many friends and hear some excellent lessons at both the Memphis School of Preaching and the Southwest School of Bible Studies. Memphis School of Preaching also sent two groups of students to two area congregations for gospel meeting/campaigns. Dan Cates took a group to the Rabun County congregation in northeast Georgia where McKinley Pate preaches. B.J. Clarke took a second group to Adairsville in northwest Georgia where Rick Lawson preaches.

 

     In the second week of the month, I had the privilege to attend the Southwest Lectures in Austin, TX. Even though I was not scheduled to speak, I ended up filling in for one of the speakers presenting two lessons on Tuesday morning. There were many excellent lessons presented and I greatly enjoyed the fellowship and friendship of many brethren there.

 

     In the last full week of April, I went up to visit my mother, three of my grandchildren, and Imogene Hann, one of mom’s life-long friends and member of the Groveport, Ohio Church of Christ. We went through Greenwood, Indiana to see the grandkids, then went on over to Ohio spend the weekend with Imogene. Mom went with me to Indianapolis and Ohio. While we were in Greenwood, we were able to celebrate the twelfth birthday of my grandson Ethan.

 

      I spoke at the Groveport church on Sunday morning. Mom and I went back to worship Sunday night with the Shelbyville Road Church of Christ in Indianapolis before heading back to Terre Haute Sunday night. On Monday morning, I headed to the Indianapolis International Airport to head back home. It was good to be able to see my mother and three of my grandchildren again. My mother will turn ninety years old on August 15th.

 

      I had a safe trip back home to Georgia and will continue working on my projects leading up to my next overseas trip at the end of this month.

 

***********************************
Singapore and Malaysia Trip at the End of This Month

 

      At the end of this month, I will be making my 52nd overseas mission trip to Singapore and Malaysia. I will be speaking at the 9th Annual Chinese Asian Bible Lectureship. I will conduct gospel meetings in English at the Section 17 and Kota Kemuning congregations.

 

      Thanks to all of my supporters who make these efforts possible.

Subject: Brett


Dear brethren,

Thank you so much for your outpouring of care and concern on behalf of
my brother and my family. He is still two weeks away from his second
biopsy. As of this time we still have no answers concerning the nature
of his brain tumor. Additional complications have arisen while he is
waiting for the second biopsy, but he seems to have stabilized as of
last report.

Many of you have contributed money to assist my parents in flying over
to Tasmania to visit with my brother. Words cannot express how much we
appreciate what you have done. Enough funds have been raised to
purchase their airfare and they will be leaving soon.

More funds than needed for their airfare have been given. These will be
used to help Brett and his family with their additional expenses.
Enough has been given to cover their additional expenses through the
next few months. For this reason we are no longer requesting financial
help for my brother. However, we continue to ask for prayers on his
behalf.

The treasurer here has kept a record of the names and addresses of those
who have given money for Brett. Those will be sent to my parents who
will develop a full financial report after their return home. That
report will be sent to the church here and will be available for any who
request it.

I thank God for you, your generosity, and your prayers. May God bless
you as you labor in the kingdom.

FOOT UPDATE

 

      I had out-patient surgery on my right foot on February 11th. I had the stitches taken out on March 3rd. I wore the air cast until April 3rd. When I went to the doctor on the 3rd, the doctor looked at the X-ray and my foot and said, “I think it is time to get you out of that boot!” Happy news! I am back in regular shoes and have started back to my walking routine.

 

     Thanks to all of you for continuing to pray for my full recovery. I have received many cards and nice comments. I have also had brethren contribute to the out of pocket cost for this injury. Compared to what so many other brethren are facing in their lives, this was just a small inconvenience. JMG.

Fishers of Men Training Class - Final Comments

 

      On January 13th, we started a Fishers of Men Training Class conducted at the Chestnut Mountain Church of Christ. There were three new students enrolled for the class. I also allowed some of our students from the last class to attend to be encouraged in continuing in their teaching efforts. This class continued through March 24th. Please pray much good will result because of the efforts made in this class.

 

      We continue to have a monthly evangelism meeting to encourage each other to continue using our abilities to reach the lost.
