Dear Church Family,

The very fact that Christ bore the penalty of man’s transgression is a mighty argument to all created intelligences that the law is changeless; that God is righteous, merciful, and self-denying; and that infinite justice and mercy unite in the administration of His government.

8. Thank you for all the prayers on Jonathan Dietrich’s behalf. Here’s an update from Jonathan:

"God gave us a Christian judge who sent the problem back to the church. This issue was resolved during a lengthy meeting with the angry man and some church members. The angry man should not bother us again. God answered our prayers. We did not get into trouble - foreigners usually lose court cases in this kind of situation in Chad.

Please pray for our container to be released from customs and to get
safely to Bere."

Miracle - The angry man arranged with a certain judge to have this case so as to get Jonathan in trouble. But for some reason that judge did not show up and a Christian judge handled the case.

Thank you for your prayers! God heard!!!

9. Our mid-week Bible study will meet again this Wednesday at 7 P.M. via ZOOM. We will finish up our study of chapter 2 and begin chapter 3 of Zechariah.

10. Our church is, thanks to Rhoda Kanna & Ron Fields, able to participate in the public school Science & Engineering fair each year. Our church is designated to share on health. This year Rhoda recruited Jason & Jordan who are presenting the NEWSTART plan every 10 minutes from 8:30 to 2:45 P.M. at the Hal Henard school today to groups of young people.

Jason & Jordan sharing the principles of NEWSTART!

12. Henry Kennedy will be baptized next Sabbath afternoon at 3 P.M. at Horse Creek. All are invited.

13. Our first LIVE STREAM was a success as we gathered for fellowship and food in our front yard. We enjoyed meeting some new people and getting to know one another better as we participated in some “get to know you” activities. Some of the kids enjoyed playing a game of soccer after supper.
