Dear Brethren:

Three weeks ago I started teaching a class each Sunday night, based on a study I created several years ago on Bible Basics. It has gone very well and I have been enjoying myself during the process. There are to be twelve more lessons, but even after the course is finished I would be happy to continue teaching as long as there is an interest, and if I am requested to continue. The classes have been pretty well attended and the feedback that I have received has all been good; the other kind of feedback may come later.

I started several weeks ago making plans for our annual Missions Conference that will be held from September 29th through October 2nd. It is coming together pretty fast and we are trusting the Lord to give us the very best conference that we have had to date. Most of our speakers have been contacted and as usual, and so far, they are all missionaries. If you would like to attend, we would be very happy to have you, so mark your calendar and come.

June is Founders Month for Baptist Faith Missions and every year about this time funds are getting very thin, so I pray that each church will receive a special offering for the General Fund for Baptist Faith Missions. Our Missionaries are needing a raise in their salaries also. I have not received a check from the Federal Government that has been promised, but if I do, I intend to give it to BFM's General Fund. I would like to challenge you to do that also.

Betty no longer has to wear the boot on her leg, but does wear a splint that she will continue to wear for another three weeks. She has not had to use the wheelchair for the past ten days, walks short distances with help, and at times can do it on her own. The progression of her Alzheimer's Disease continues and she is going back to the Respite Center five days per week.

In His Name,

Bobby D. Creiglow
