UPDATE FOR NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2007
We rejoice that the God of Heaven wanted all of us to know HIM and share in His gift to us. Praise to His Name in this special time of the year when many think of Him. May we praise Him more each day in the New Year!
We rejoice with you! You prayed with us that we could complete our latest book project, and the Lord heard your prayers. We have just received 1,000 copies of Tim Woodroof?s fine book, A Church That Flies, and have begun distribution among Italian-speaking Christian workers. Woodroof?s solid upbringing among churches of Christ gives him a unique vantage point from which to work on the problems that short-circuit a successful return to the New Testament Church.
For big publishers, 1,000 copies is a small print-run, but this first printing is adequate for our specific market among churches of Christ in Italy. We hope to extend the book?s influence among other religious groups, encouraging them to reflect on and apply the same Biblical principles too. Our publisher retained 100 copies for distribution from her website. Our primary goal is to help those who have some understanding of restoring the New Testament Church, but have become blocked by traditional interpretations that have nothing to do with true restoration, and are actually detrimental to its realization.
Health problems in Matelica. Three non-Christian friends of our group have experienced health problems: two suffered broken legs in separate accidents and one is undergoing a long recovery after knee surgery. This gave us opportunity to get into these families that do not know the Lord. As the Italian proverb has it: "Not all ills come to harm you." Sometimes God uses pain to get our attention, so we can hear Him when He speaks.
Harold preached at Rome. Taking advantage of his presence in Rome, the Viale Ionio church invited Harold to preach on Wednesday evening to their midweek group. Two special people were present: a seeker who had left the Catholic Church and is now searching for something solid, and our publisher, an evangelical who came to deliver the books. Both responded favorably to the lesson and asked good questions.
Worship every Lord?s Day at Matelica is led by Italian Christians. Harold teaches at Midweek on Galatians and at Sunday Bible school on "Christ in the Gospels." Enid helps teach Bible school too.
Thank you for your loving encouragement over these many years. We appreciate especially your very practical assistance in prayer. May the Lord of Harvest bless you as you go forward empowered to serve joyfully and effectively in the Kingdom!
Love from both of us,
Harold and Enid Fowler
