The Ohio Independent Baptist, February 1965

Not 11he least of the blessings of hi vi it were the meetin,gs with the mi sionaries. Brother Ernest Loong of Baptist Mid-M,ission was wiith u for one of these . Being bu y with the work, we have little opportunity to listen to the preaching 1 and tea.ch– ing of fellow-.worker s, an1d o were much refreshed. Dar1ine ,and I al o bad many personal contacts with G]enn during the six day , beifore he left for 2 ;h months of furtJh,er travel. I cannot emphasize too strongly ·the potential blessing, ,both to ,the mis ion– ary and to the pas,tor , of suoh vis~t . Having known Brother Greenwood ~or many years, Darline and J e pecial– ly anticipated his coming, but all of our mi ion 1 aries were likewise blessed. A s he left, Glenn commented on the value of what he had seen to h,is own ministry as a pastor. We as missionaries would do everything to make a visit prof~table for any p·astor, with ,the sincere desire to learn ·and experience, for the building of a tronger missionary program rin the local church at home. The voice of a backslider "I can be just as good a Chris.ti ,an and not go to churoh. Our church is falling to pieces. I 'd go to churoh ·if we had a dif– ferent ,preacher. Sunday is the only time I have a t home with my f,ami1y. God doesn 't expect me to rtiithe. (Then, who ought to rt:itbe?) There isn ' t any thing wrong in a Christian h aving a good time, is ther e? I 'm no wor se than a lot of p eople who go to churc h maybe even a littl e better. I 'm active in o ther organizati on th at are just as impor tant as the churc h . The o ld-~ashio ned idea o f a Sunday night service and prayer meeting is a thi ng o f the past." Q I:STION "Who is peak ing?"
