God's Missionary Church celebrated their 75th Anniversary and I was able to be present for this joyous occasion. Families of the founding leaders were acknowledged, there was a moment of silence in honor of the deceased, and much appreciation was showen for the present leaders and brethren.

Fred Springman helped in the pharmacy. He was quite busy. Hundreds of patients visited the clinic and all went home with at least vitamins.

The multitude must be fed


Our spring revival at Acadien created such an interest in the area that hundreds came. There were those who walked great distances to participate in the event. We couldn't turn them away without something to eat so a meal was prepared. A goat was provided, rice and beans were purchased, and the brethren worked together to see that the multitude was fed.

Youth singing during special services


The Acadien church requested a week of special services. The community and those in the surrounding areas were invited to the event. The church was packed out each evening. There were 19 new converts added to the church.

Baby Dedications

What a joy it is to see the parents wanting to have their children dedicated to the church. There were 13 children dedicated on this occasion.

Baptism at the Ocean


Although there was disaster in the capital city the countryside continued their activities as normal. The Acadien church is growing steadily and there are frequently those who wish to be baptized. I was asked to take part in the ceremony where 4 brethren were baptized.

Clean-up


Many of our brethren lost their homes due to the earthquake. Several of boys and I went to help remove piles of debris to be hauled away.
