Dear Brethren,

Betty and I were able to attend the Spring Mission Conference hosted by the Thompson Road Baptist Church where Brother David Parks is pastor. Betty did very well without too much confusion, even though she did not remember many of our old friends. The conference was very well attended and is growing every year.

This past month I have had the opportunity to preach and teach here at First Baptist Church and I always welcome that opportunity. I will also be teaching each Sunday of the month of May. At the present time First Baptist Church is conducting a series of meetings, praying that the Lord will send a revival. Pastor Grant Hardwick is serving as our evangelist.

As I mentioned some time ago, our church voted to take a special Mission offering every fifth Sunday. Last Sunday was the first month that had five Sundays, and I for one, was very pleased when it was announced that the offering totaled $1600.00. This offering goes toward our Thanksgiving Memorial Offering.

As we all know, vacation time is fast approaching, and although it should not be, the mission offerings sometimes suffer, so June has been designated as FOUNDER'S MONTH. Every year we ask each church to give a special offering during the month of June to help take up the slack. The need for more funds each and every month continues to increase as the number of missionaries supported through BFM continues to grow. By faith, two more will be added this year and the need to raise the salaries of all of the missionaries is way over due. So, let us all pitch in a little more so their labors for the Lord might go forward.

In His Name,

Bobby D. Creiglow
