APRIL 2012

It is April and things are getting busy for us all. The Gospel Chariots are rolling and short term Bible Schools are in. Campaigns are happening and God is working through us all. Mike Knappier and the Benton congregation campaigned in Windhoek and Okahanja, Namibia. I leave next week with the Fredericksburg Church of Christ, to work in Rundu with Chariot 2 on its way to Zambia. Chariot 1 has been working in Port Elizabeth and East London. God is working and souls are being added to the Kingdom of God in a number of areas. Please continue praying for the team.
