Bobbie Moore Goes Home

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21

In a couple of hours Bobbie Moore is going to be buried in Artesia, New Mexico. She and her husband, Don, have spent decades supporting missions, especially through the mission committee of the Hermosa Drive church of Christ. This sweet sister is going to be missed, not just by her family, but by us - she always received us so lovingly when we visited New Mexico - and by the Ethiopian church workers she and Don visited and cared for. Though she didn't live in a third world country, it is people with hearts like Bobbie's that make it possible for these nations to come to know Jesus.

And when a person like Bobbie goes home, it is not just Jesus waiting with welcoming arms, but scores of people she won't even know, thanking her for being a part in their recieving eternal life. Thank you, Bobbie.

Please pray for the Don Moore family during this hard time.

We broke for lunch at 1 pm. We started back around 2:30 and went until 6 pm. They wanted to keep going, but the SEARA class started at 7 pm. If every meeting could be as encouraging as this one, we would be in heaven. My goal with these meetings is to teach the church workers throughout the state how to listen to someone who has a different belief about God's Word, try to understand their logic, their thought processes and share their own understanding from the Bible. My hope is that God's Word is heard above their personal wants, desires, or traditions. This is no

Sharing Jesus in Mexico

by Renato Menezes Renato is the second young person from João Pessoa to go through the Adventures in Missions program. His 18 months is Mexico is about to end, and undoubtedly he has grown tremendously in his faith during these past two years. Here is his report on his personal Bible studies: Praise God I started studying the Bible with one more person since last month, raising the number of weekly Bible studies to four. Ema is one of the main people that work at the orphanage where we have a ministry (the children from there call her mother). She would visit the church before, but stopped because of work and other things, but in the last months, she not only started coming again, but brought her daughter too. Some Sundays ago I offered a Bible study, and she accepted happily (I was happy too). So then Ramiro and I began to meet weekly with her to study the book of John. We talked about the importance of baptism and about whether her baptism was Bib
