Partners and Friends,

Greetings in Jesus name!!!  A team just returned from Southern West Virginia completing our Appalachian Missions Project. There we were able to help a Vietnam Vet for our 4^th endeavor.   We had previously helped Donald by supplying him with running water, first time in 3 years he had running water.  (He had taken bucket baths from the past 3 years.)  It was our honor to help Donald again, the team put on a new front porch roof for him, put a window in, and supplied a heat/wall furnace for his kitchen and bathroom.

Our group also painted a church that is being used for an outreach center as well as painted their playground and trimmed their stage in the sanctuary. We also conducted outreaches in some of the villages in McDowell County.  

The team continues to expand where we are reaching with our neighbors to the South.  They saw 7907 souls make decisions for Christ! Hallelujah!   And we are getting better and better at following them up to pursue them for discipleship. We are putting together a plan for us to spread more towards the Central / Central Western districts, as we also endeavor to develop our discipleship program there.  

The ministry will be having our annual ministry banquet on Sunday, December 3^rd at 11:30 am following the morning service at Christian Assembly Church in Industry, PA.  If you have a home church, we encourage you to attend, and then join us afterwards if you live close.
