Hello Everyone,

Sorry about the multiple mailings. Having a little problem with my email program... I think I have it fixed now.

Judy and I just returned from Louisiana and Mississippi. We were in the Ferriday Church of God Sunday morning in Ferriday, LA,  and the Parkview Church of God in Natchez, MS, Sunday night. Both services were wonderful. Both of these churches support us monthly. It was a blessing to be with them. We stayed with Jerry Warren and his wife. Jerry has been on several trips with me and hopes to go on another.

I am still receiving reports concerning the success of the School of Christ International. Rev. Eddie Burge who introduced me to this teaching series said that this was one of the very best he has done. We were thrilled to hear that. His wife will give me a report in a couple of days and I'll pass it on to you.

I believe this is a wonderful plan that we have in operation now. I also believe that one of these long trips is much better and accomplishes more and longer lasting ministry than three of the short ones. And the expense of one is less than the expense of three of the shorter ones. We have planted a Christian community with one or two trained leaders in each village. I am thrilled to say the least.

I am looking forward to the next one. I am tentatively setting the date for the next one from August 23 to September 16. I know this is a very long time for people to be gone but the rewards for these long trips are fabulous. We can never accomplish in short trips what we are doing in the longer ones. I intend to go into several villages in this period and do exactly the same thing we did on Lake Tipschca. I intend to take the leaders who God will raise up and put them through School of Christ International. I believe by the help of God we can do it.

If you are interested in going please contact me immediately. The base price for the trip from Atlanta is $2,500.00. Contact me by phone or email so that I can make plans for you to go.

God bless,

Bro Joe
