THE MYERS BEGIN A NEW WORK This may not exactly b e a case of a church calling a preacher, but of him beari11g the call of God to a ne\v field. After four years of fruitful labor to establish the Bible Baptist Cht1rch of Grove City, on the south– , vest edge of Columbus, they felt led to resign and b egin a new \\rork on th e booming east side. After weeks of surveying and seeking for a place to meet , they found Pine Hills, a n e \v de,,elopment vvith 375 ne,v h om es and no church. Thi is on the extreme end of Columbus, about hvo miles south of Rt. 40 and the ame distance \vest of Reynolds-but six miles ,ves t of the GARBC church there . It is a n e,v development ,,,here many more homes \vill be built.
