Letters from Our Fellowship and Readers

FROM OUR MAILBOX

From England, Sister Rosemary Page writes: Greetings in Jesus’ Name! A friend in India has recommended your magazine – “The New Creation.” Do you have a back issue to send me to see if it is helpful to me? Also, please can you tell me if you get any requests for Bibles from third world countries? Here in the U/K I am gathering up second-hand Bibles and sending them to Africa, mainly to Zambia who requested 40 Bibles. If you can send me any church addresses, I would be grateful as I am just not getting enough requests at the moment. I am a P/T cleaner in a school and I use most of my earnings for Bible postage. I am aiming to get 10,000 Bibles to Africa by 2012. All praise and glory to Jehovah!!!

From Cameroon, Africa, Ndassah J. M. Collins writes: I have the honour most respectively to apply for a subscription to “The New Creation” magazine. I was handed a copy of your November/December 2007 publication and after carefully reading it and the Scriptures, I am delighted to want follow-up more on these lectures. I would be very grateful if you could also include some booklets and tracts. Looking forward to hearing the best from you shortly.

From Cameroon, Africa, Ashu Manfred writes: Beloved Brethren, greetings in Jesus’ Name! I wish to acknowledge receiving the 2008

Autumn CART Newsletter that you sent to me and other gospel tracts. I wish the staff of CMF a happy and prosperous 2009. Yours in Christ.

From Malawi, Africa, Pastor Y.K.C. Theu writes: May you kindly put my name on your mailing list for The New Creation magazine. I am a church leader and I pray this magazine will bless me and others a lot. I pray that God may bless you.

From Marshfield, WI, Elfreda Carpenter writes: Greetings from across the miles in Jesus’ Precious Name! We look forward to The New Creation, the Dawn, and the Herald of Christ’s Kingdom impatiently. The Bible and these magazines are an anchor we need in these end years. We pray for all the dear brethren who labor day and night to make all the words of God and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, easy to understand and follow. May God bless our dear, known and unknown, brethren and one day may we all meet Jesus wearing robes of white.

From the Highways of Canada Lake, MI: We thank you for your faithfulness in sending The New Creation booklet. We enjoy the articles. Please find the enclosed check to be used as you have opportunity for sending forth the Good News of the Kingdom of God and its effects ….even the joyous blessing it is having on our lives now. May God bless you all.

FROM OUR EMAIL

From Austria, H. Ofner writes: Dear Brethren in the Lord! As free bible students we feel ourselves with you as a part of the family of God, bound in the love of Jesus. There is no greater joy in Christ than when we build one another up and we can encourage one another in the word of God. May our heavenly Father richly send us his blessings here, in which we always look to his Son, and for his return and with it we wait for our redemption with great hope (Lk. 21:28).

Through our German language magazine, “The New Creation“ we have reached some interested people. Through this magazine in Austria we have 46 readers and in Germany 121 who regularly receive the magazine. We also regularly distribute tracts in our city and its surroundings. And we also through the internet have the Bible Students Association as a witness (similar to CMF) that we put out, and we always get the question put to us if there is a fellowship in the immediate area of the writer, and it makes us sad when we must say to the people, that sadly there is no fellowship in their area. But we collect all the addresses of the interested persons in any case, that should it be that we find someone in their area, we can with the help of God bring them together.

With the beginning of this year we have begun to translate the very good and easily understood CMF Bible Course into German. The Basic Course is already finished and we are now putting together the study course for it. When the Lord gives us the time and opportunity then we would also the rest of the two courses (The Ransom and Advanced Course) finish by years end. We want to encourage you all, to hold on further onto what you have heard, and what your heart has so touched (1 Jn 1:1-4). Let yourself not be shaken when your service for the Lord seems fruitless. Often our proclamations seem fruitless, but we can never know how our witness for the Lord will work out. In reality not only the preaching from the Gospels, but our life shall be a witness for the people, and this we must not forget!
