Other Work Done
Besides the writing of new lessons...
- I ran a program to check the integrity of all the several thousand links on the site.
- Rewrote some old code on the website that had become a security threat.
- Google is changing its analytics to a new system. I had to do a lot of set up requirements including replacing their code on every page of the site.
Other Matters
CHURCH. We continued to hold Sunday morning services in our home, with one Christian lady still meeting regularly with us using Facetime.
VANUATU
Over the past two years, Australian Christians have sent substantial assistance to brethren on Tanna. Over that period, the island was hit by ash from the volcano erruption, an earthquake, and two cyclones. We provided food, building materians, Bibles, books, and Bible lesson materials.
This included not only Lenakel but also the small church at the south of the island. They received roofing for their church building. They still need 600 concrete blocks and cement, at a cost of around $2000, to wall in their modest church house.
Brother Miswel asked us to pass on the sincere thanks from the churches on Tanna to those who have helped them.
Thank You
Thank you for your continuing help in the Lord’s work. Thank you also for your continued prayers and your interest in my work on the website. Our goal is to help make disciples among all nations.
Love and best wishes in Jesus.
