Dear Brother Scott and Church,

Pat and I had a marvelous time at the dinner last evening. [March 10] Thank-you so much for having us with you. Sometimes I am a bit nervous when meeting a new congregation, however that was not the case with you all. From the start I was made to be quite comfortable and at ease. I could see the love of God in your smile and in your eyes. Personally, I think God enables His children to witness to each others’ spirit even before a relationship can be established; that was, indeed, the case with us. I thank God for Brothers and Sisters in Christ such as you.

Father Scott had asked me to inform you all of some of the material needs here at the Mission and I forgot to do so. We have learned that the computer training facilities are inadequate for the amount of students we carry, and for the degree we must teach. Therefore, a necessity for new computers has arisen. Should we be able to acquire a couple of new Pentium class 486, or better, central processors, monitors, printers and keyboards we could [immediately] begin intermediate and advanced classes. We feel that computer literacy is on of the MAJOR keys in establishing good employment opportunity in the future; thereby creating an avenue out of poverty for those God has given us to serve. We will soon need skilled help in removing (from its present spot) and installing (at our location) a walk-in refrigerator and a walk-in freezer. This will be a large undertaking I am certain. Also, we need God called and faithful workers to work each weekend on our meal delivery program. Of course we always need faithful partners to finance this work each month. God will always supply and we must continue to grow so we will be able to accept the added responsibilities, which the FATHER will place upon this work.

Allow me to take this opportunity to invite you to come visit anytime you would like. I think you will become excited as you envision what GOD is doing here. Let me challenge you to bring your wisdom and your talents and present them in service to our Lord right here at Old Man Rivers’ MISSION on the SOUTH SIDE.
