UPDATE FOR MAY 2008
Civitavecchia Trip. By special invitation, we visited a small group of believers living north of Rome at Civitavecchia. Harold shared with them the biblical concepts expressed in "A Church That Flies." Because this group came out of varied backgrounds, they could appreciate the wisdom of this message. As a young Christian group, they had experienced all the frustration of examination and excommunication by self-appointed "watch-dogs of orthodoxy" whose sectarian views immediately categorized this group?s "entry-level" faith as unfaithfulness toward God! Can you foresee that they readily warmed to someone who loved them, even if not sharing all their views?
Free publicity announcing the publication of "A Church That Flies" is beginning to go out to a readership among brethren from Churches of Christ in Italy. Our announcement has been accepted for publication on their website and has begun to reach our intended audience.
Pray for Harold's message. He is the leadoff speaker at the coming convention at Velletri in mid-May. His task is to introduce the book "A Church That Flies." This theme can prove to be a real godsend, but it faces some unsympathetic hearers, so we would seek your prayers for the favorable reception of the book's pioneering message. The date is May 16; the time is 11,30 EST, but your prayers are welcome and appreciated even now. A public distribution of this book will be made at the convention.
Kingsley evangelized in Nigeria. We introduced you to Kingsley Eseguee, one of the Nigerian Christians that participate in our church at Matelica. In April he returned to his homeland briefly to participate actively in an evangelistic campaign in his hometown. Our Italian group helped him to purchase food and equipment for the program, since he worked alongside other Nigerians in this evangelistic effort. Our group is thrilled not only that he took this opportunity to reach out in his home country, but also for his zeal here in Italy. His fervor is a good model for our people too.
Visitors. We were blessed by two sets of guests: Randy and Katy Smelser and Dale and Barbara Mallory. These missionaries in Germany were in Italy to work on the Mid-Winter Rally planning for this year's end. Although guests of the Italian committee members, they had free time to bless our lives too.
We appreciate you and your prayers!
