Bill & Rita Johnson, Report for February 2004
Calvary Baptist Church, Hamburg, Arkansas

FEBRUARY AMONG THE CHURCHES: It was such a blessing to visit in the many churches of Arkansas, Texas, Colorado, California and Arizona! It was a special blessing to visit with John and Sharon Sanders in Loveland and see how God is blessing there. It was also a special blessing to visit with missionaries Tim and Desba Clements in Chinle, Arizona and the Hawthornes in Houck. God is truly blessing His work among the Navajo people.

CHURCHES JOIN IN REGULAR SUPPORT: The Bartholomew Association in southeast Arkansas has elected to send monthly support as well as additional churches. Rita and I are convinced that this work is God’s will, so we are confident that He will supply the need.

VBS VIDEO IS BEING SHIPPED: The five minute VHS video for VBS is ready for shipment. It shows the children of the world as they use literature translated and printed through the ministry of ICP. It would be ideal to use in churches who have made the translation ministry their VBS offering goal. Please let us know if you would like a video and the large poster which comes with it.

ROMANIA LITERATURE: The primary Sunday school books for use in spring quarter are now ready for distribution. We are praying for churches and individuals who will help with this project. It is a blessing to hear that Missionary John Sanders is using the Romanian translation in a Romanian language service in Colorado! For more information, please call or go to icplit.org Web site.

THAILAND LITERATURE:  We are working with Missionary Nicky Barnett to find another translator for the work. Please pray for the literature project in Thailand.

PHILIPPINE LITERATURE: Your help with travel expenses for the trip to the Philippines in March will be welcome. Tickets have been purchased but we are trusting the Lord to supply the funds. It is necessary to try to work out a better distribution plan for the literature ministry.
 
DEPUTATION: Rita and I are available for Christian Education workshops among the churches. If your church is interested in teacher training, give us a call. We also have some available dates in April and May to present the work to the churches. Please let us know if you would be interested in learning more about this vital ministry!

  Thank you for your prayers and offerings. We pray that God will grant you souls for your labor in His vineyard. Working together we can “win more in 2004!”
