Dear friends in Christ, Greetings to YOU in the Lord. ‘Trust all is well with you. We are all fine. We’d like to update you on what is going on in our lives.

As you know, the burden of my heart is to keep churches from dying. Here we are in another church—work which has alout 15 people who are faithful in attendance. When I told them I would come and help them, and be their pastor, they responded by stating that If I hadn’t come, the church would have died.

This church has 5 acres of land, a parsonage and a decent, yet small, church building with no debt. It is in a subdivision, with other subdivisions going up around us. I believe the Lord has brought us to a great opportunity.

Last week we had V.B.S. which involved a lot of work. Our son-in-law, Jody Brownd, did a "chalk talk" on Friday evening, and we had a high of 116 people turn out for this service. Over I ,200 flyers had been handed out by folk for a couple of weeks prior to this. Everyone was thrilled with the attendance. We enjoyed sowing the Word into the hearts of many young children. Eternity will show what has been accomplished for Him.

There are still many neglected boxes in the garage that need unpacking. ‘there’s a lot of work to do, but we are already seeing a change in the hearts of God’s people, and that’s the most important thing. Praise God, I love my work. Please continue to pray for our ministry. I’ve lots more to share with you, but that will be in our next prayer letter.

In Him,

Frank Swart

P.S. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to write my financial report at this time as some of the information I missed is in one of those neglected boxes! I’ll double up next time.
