Dear Brethren,

I finished the Bible course two weeks ago that I was teaching here at First Baptist Church and some have asked when I would be teaching the next course. I do not know whether that will ever come to pass, but I have at least been thinking about it and have started the preparation so that I might be ready if and when the opportunity presents itself.

We are almost ready for our Missions Conference that will start the next to last day of this month. Our theme for the conference is: "BEING FELLOW HELPERS TO THE TRUTH". Our speakers are missionaries and of course we think missionaries make the best speakers for mission conferences. Our goal is to get people committed to giving to missions on a regular basis.

I am still praying and seeking ways to raise more funds for the General Fund of Baptist Faith Missions, but as yet have not come up with any idea as to what we need to do to produce more revenue so that the missionaries we have now may receive a raise in salary. It has been years since the last raise and it is way overdue.

Betty's condition has not gotten much worse these past few weeks. In fact, these past two weeks have been pretty good. She does walk some on her own, but most of the time needs, or wants, assistance. Since we only live a short distance from the church, when the weather permits, I wheel her to church in the wheelchair. She gets nothing out of the services, and won't let me get much, either, but at least are there most of the time.

In His Name,

Bobby D. Creiglow
