Special invite

A reminder Bill Smith, Papua New Guinea, will be sharing on Friday Evening at Mt. Zion UAME church on Rose street off Cleveland Ave at 6:30 PM


Then, on Saturday morning at 8 AM at Crossorads Church off Vance Neck Rd (Turn left on 13 at first light past 301 light then first right). This is a Men's breakfast but women also welcome to come, meet and hear Bill share. Am also making multiple copies of Bill and Lori's ministry DVD, anyone desiring one let me know; they are powerful as you see what the Lord has done during their decades there.

A personal testimony here. It was through Charlie and Charlotte Smith ministry that I met Jesus. Charlotte is my wife, Joanne's, Cousin and they contacted a church here to visit me.

When helping Charlie and Charlotte met Bill Smith Sr., Charlie's brother and a young teen, Bill Jr. Bill Sr. was/is a missionary with New Tribes Missions serving in a place called Papua New Guinea.

This was in the 70's; had no idea what a missionary was or where this place called Papua New Guinea was.

First thing we ever sent anywhere for kids was a shoebox full of stuff to PNG. Today loading cargo containers; tomorrow ships. As a result of the Smith families love of Jesus; I met Jesus and today have the privilege of ministering to children in 20+ countries with more to follow.

In 2007, after 30 years of prayer, had the joy of going to PNG and ministering there with the Smiths, and yes, while Bill Sr now is at headquarters in Sanford, Fl. He was there when the Lord opened the door for me to go and yes am planning on going back; 2011.

Thanks again for your prayers for Matt and praying you have an opportunity to meet Bill this weekend.

Until Every Child Knows,
