Letters from Our Fellowship and Readers

FROM OUR MAILBOX:

From Zomba, Malawi, Africa – Donasio Kaletso writes:

Dear brother in Christ, I am thanking you for the gift of money sent to me. We opened the Bible school in April 2006. We are worrying that we might not finish it in time since we have not enough funds. If you have any friends…who can help us with this or supply us with 50 Good News Bibles for our students, please let them do so through you. Here the Church is sending you greetings and also the students of the Bible School send their greetings.

Editor’s note: Any wishing to help with this request please contact us.

From Guyana, South America – Sherry Young writes:

Hello Bro. John (DiCesare), Trusting that you are proving the goodness of Jehovah regardless of circumstances and that your confidence in Him keeps you sweet and strong. This is my first letter to you since you joined the fold there at CMF Ministries, so I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your chosen path and to wish you every peace and happiness that comes with serving the One True God. I and my family are indeed privileged to receive spiritually from CMF Ministries and the printing and distribution center that ensures our regular supply of the New Creation magazine ~ we are grateful. Thanks to all of you at CMF who work in revealing the knowledge of God to His people.

From Burwood, Victoria, Australia – Darryl Roe writes:

Christian love and greetings to you from sunny Australia. It has been some time since I last wrote and you have been faithful in sending me The New Creation since then. Thank you very much. We enjoy reading its pages. Please accept our small donation to keep it going.

We have attended all of the Christian Conferences and Conventions here in Australia, enjoying them immensely. Nowadays they are usually held away from the bigger cities and often in a quiet country setting where we can listen to the birds, smell the eucalyptus leaves and walk through the lush forests. We meet brethren of various persuasions from various parts of the country. It is wonderful to have fellowship with those who do not always agree with our scriptural viewpoint – we usually agree to disagree on some of the less important issues. We do have a web page for our witnessing work and it is interesting to discuss the questions asked from all over the world. May the Lord continue to richly bless you all.

FROM OUR E-MAIL:

From Ramachandrapuram, India – Gutla Dorababu writes:

Greetings in the most precious Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for your email and for the booklets you requested for me (from CMF distribution center). I feel so happy when I see your mail. Whatever you are writing to me, I am translating it into Telugu and sharing it with my mother and sisters. My family have been comforted by you as we are sad over our beloved father’s death. As you know, we are living in a Hindu country and the people sometimes treat us as their enemies because we are proclaiming the good news of Christ in our society. Where we are living, preaching and teaching God’s Word, is a village that my father came to as a missionary when I was a child. We are small, but wish to do great things here. We have 32 aged people that we wish to give one meal a day. It is my desire to establish an old age home for them. Please pray for this specially. I want to thank God for giving me fellowship with you. Your brother in His service.

From Virginia – Arlene Jones writes:

In the Nov./Dec. New Creation, your Question and Answer on 1 Timothy 2:13-15 prompted me to see what Genesis had to say about Eve. I believe the answer could be there. First, after the Lord hears how Eve was deceived by the serpent, He says to the serpent, ”I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruised His heel” (3:19). In 4:20 Adam called his wife’s name “Eve,” which means “life” in Hebrew because she is the mother of all the living. In Chapter 9, God blesses Noah and his sons after the flood and told them, “Be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth.” So it would seem that the seed which was intended to save mankind was passed down through the generations to Mary, the chosen one to deliver the Christ child. It was God’s plan that through the seed of the woman the chosen people of God, Israel and the Church, would come forth out of that plan. It is also interesting to note that a study of DNA published in 1987 shows that all women descended from a single female ancestor (published in NATURE by Cann, Stocking and Wilson – “Myochardial DNA and Evolution). A similar study published in SCIENCE 8 years later concluded that all men are descended from a single male ancestor (Study by Dorit, Ahaski and Gilbert). (Editor’s note: We hope to have more on this subject in a future New Creation magazine).
