UPDATE FOR MARCH 2008

Harold and Enid take turns being sick. When we got our flu shots last November to immunize ourselves against the flu, they must have given us a placebo, or else the proper vaccine against this year's "new and improved" microbes did not work. This has really slowed us down this year. Thanks for your prayers, because we spent little down-time in bed, although, for awhile, life was a drag here!

Enid is printing books. This Spring we are anticipating taking our books for distribution at three brotherhood conventions. The ladies' convention comes up at the end of this month, the family convention in May, with another in June. So Enid is doing everything necessary to have sufficient copies of all of our materials for each meeting. These conventions offer opportunities to share information, Bible study materials and promote good books.
THREE ENCOURAGING ANSWERS TO PRAYER:
Giuseppe Perrone, one of our brothers in south Italy, emailed Harold, asking for study materials on a given subject. Little did he know that, at the very moment he was typing the email, Harold was at the computer finalizing a book on the very subject he asked for!
Vittorio Vitalone, preacher in Rome, emailed Harold asking for part of his PowerPoint presentation of "A Church That Flies". It took no time at all to attach this material to an email and fire it right back to Vittorio! When we have something ready, sharing it with our preaching brothers is no trouble at all.
Harold to speak at Velletri. The committee that organizes the Velletri convention this year invited Harold to present "A Church That Flies", the book we recently published. This opportunity to give the lead-off message at this convention is a real first for him. He has waited over 20 years for this invitation, because, for many of the participants at these gatherings, we are "on the wrong side of the keyboard." It has taken a great deal of patience to wait for such an opportunity. In the meantime we continued writing and publishing Bible study materials to help everyone do his or her job of teaching in the churches. This time was well spent, because it was earning the confidence of the brethren. These years of patient waiting are beginning to pay off. Now, please pray that the Lord help Harold to speak well at this upcoming convention and meet some real needs. These dear people have blessed us too, and we really want to bless them wherever we can.
