“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). A Work of the Chestnut Mountain Church of Christ, Chestnut Mountain, Georgia USA ********************************* PLEASE PASS THIS REPORT TO THOSE YOU THINK MIGHT HAVE INTEREST IN OUR WORK! ************************************* Gospel Meetings in Indiana – Terre Haute and Coal City During the middle of August, I made a ten day journey to my home state, Indiana. While I was there, I conducted two gospel meetings and was able to celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday. During the time I was there, I was able to visit with my mom and go with her to various places. On Saturday, the day following my mom birthday, we had a party for her. There were a number of people who attended the afternoon celebration, including her life-long friend, Imogene Hann, from Obetz, Ohio. Thanks to Pat Johnson for making the effort to bring Imogene to the party. My youngest son, Sam, flew up for the weekend to attend the party. The first gospel meeting was at my home congregation in Terre Haute. The meeting was Sunday – Wednesday. The theme of the meeting was “Basics.” This was the first gospel meeting I had ever conducted at my home congregation. Even though the attendance was not very good, we did have a number of visitors to attend from sister congregations and some area visitors. On the day between the two gospel meetings, I took mom back down to Vincennes to visit the Red Skelton museum. We had visited there last year, but since then they had added a new section of his radio and movie careers. The second gospel meeting was a weekend meeting at the Coal City Church of Christ. I have held a gospel meeting there before and also have given mission reports there. The attendance for the meeting was pretty good with sister congregations supporting the meeting. On Sunday, after the morning services, they had a basket dinner and a singing service followed by an afternoon worship service to conclude the meeting. After the afternoon service, I drove to Indianapolis, picked up my son, Sam, at my daughter-in-law’s house and we went to the evening service at Shelbyville Rd. It was good to see the brethren there again. Being Hoosiers (from the state of Indiana) and also Indianapolis Colts (NFL) fans, Sam and I had planned to tour the Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis before flying back to Atlanta. However, tours are only conducted on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On the flight home, there were storms in Atlanta that shut down the airport for a while, so we circled around for a while before safely landing and making it back home. Thanks again for your prayers on our behalf. *********************************** Taiwan Trip – This Month I am scheduled to leave for Taiwan on September 3rd.
