Letters from Our Fellowship and Readers

From U.S.A, an anonymous Person wrote:

Thank you for that article by E.C.W. entitled “Free Men In Christ.” It reminded me of my past experiences when I was actively involved with an religious group who were followers of a man and his teachings. I recently read a very interesting book by Ronald E. Frye entitled “My Christian Quest From Jehovah Witnesses to Son of God.” It showed so very clearly how one can become easily indoctrinated into a religious system of controlled beliefs and the painful trauma that one experiences when they begin to question the things they had formerly believed to be the Truth of God’s Word that led to being excommunicated from former friends and even family members. Everyone should read this fascinated true-life experience from religious bondage to freedom in Christ. (Editor: If you are interested is acquiring this book, contact me and I will supply you with the source and cost.)

From Liberia, Africa, Jacob Knight reports in April, 2007:

This is tell of the progress being made to The CART funded Educational Project which will have eight classrooms, three offices, a library and a Chapel. This is being built in honor of Guildford Tompkins, President of CART who along with the Trustees are making this possible. This is dream that I have had for many years and now it is coming true. I am extremely happy to inform you that we have started the construction and have completed the first phase, which is the foundation and the casting. I thank God for CART for the relief efforts that have saved thousands of lives, brought hope to the helpless that there is a God who cares, put clothes on the clothesless, fed the hungry mouths, empowered the downtrodden with support for the self-help Micro Agricultural Project, ensuring a better and brighter future through their strong support to our educational program, and lastly bringing the lost to our Lord Jesus Christ which is the most important and basis of the relief effort to the poor and needy.

From England, CART writes on Jacob’s (Knight) Vision: Jacob’s purpose is “to help the poor and needy parents of children get a formal education which will help to improve their future livelihood - thus alleviating poverty.” His “vision” is to have a building with nine school

classrooms, three offices, a library, an auditorium, and a chapel. His original school began as a single study class using educational and relief supplies sent by CART. This study class was the children’s only means of receiving any kind of education. The Liberian Ministry of Education gave it accreditation. For more than 15 years valuable education took place in two successively leased buildings with help from CART and sponsorship from its supporters. Recently, they were put out of their building and Jacob decided to buy some land and build a permanent school which was begun in January of 2007. Can you help Jacob? We are appealing to our readers to buy a brick for 5 English #. to help Jacob achieve this present day vision and say with his ancient namesake, “Surely the Lord is in this place.” – Genesis 28:16. (CART con be contacted at PO Box 554, Huddersfield, HD3 9ZQ, England.) (Editor: Jacob Knight is also CMF’s representative in Liberia.)

From South India, Dr. W.S. Vedha Of CMF writes: Sweet Christian greetings in the Name of out Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I received the New Creation magazine with thanks and thank you for publishing my letter. I was in God’s ministry in March in the Andaman-Nicholas Islands and God has mightily used me there among the CMF congregation. God has also helped me preach and teach in new places in the Islands. I am enclosing the 5^th booklet of the CMF Bible correspondence course translated into the Indian Tamil dialect. The 6^th and 7^th Booklets are in the printing stage. We are urge to provide 200 Bibles to our new believers in the Andaman-Nicholas Islands. We are trying to preach the Gospel to these tribes and to provide clothing, food, house articles and shelter to them. Kindly pray for this valuable work. We are constantly praying for you. (Editor: If you would like to help provide Bibles for these people, please write to me and I will arrange to do this for you, or if you wish to contact him directly, his email is vedacmf@rediffmail.com). Bibles in India are very cheap - $2.50 each.)

From Ghana W. Africa, Pastor Evans Ashiabi writes: Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord Jesus who by his mercy and love has made us partakers of the divine nature. We are a small growing church in an Islamic dominated area called New-Fadama It has been our vision to evangelize and win them to the Kingdom of God, but are facing stiff spiritual opposition from them. On behalf of our church we would like you and your prayer team to remember us in your daily prayers for the work of God to go on without delay and also a mighty revival to take place and for the Gospel to prevail. May the God of all grace, who has called us unto His eternal glory by Jesus Christ bless you, establish you, strengthen you and settle you in His everlasting love.
