A WORD from the EDITOR ..• The Lord has been giving us some good meeting for which we praise Him. v e pent eight days with our brother Rev. John Strong, P aines– , ille. Here we av. 1 the bles ing of God! Brother trong is building a fine ~ork which continues to move ahead to the glory of God. \\'hile with Brother Strong, we dropped by to vi it with Rev. Donald \\-'oodby and ee his work at Willo– Hill Bapti t Church. This is the new \l.'ork which was started by Brother \:\/oodby and the people of the H ay– den Ave. Baptist Church, Cleveland <luring his time there as pastor. A this new work moved ahead, the Lord laid 1t upon the heart of our brother to res1gn his pastorate at H a)'den Ave. and accept a call to the work at \\' illo-Hill. In talking with P a tor Woodby we learned of how the Lord is ble sing. There h a been good attendance a t their ser vices. ouls are being reached for Christ and fu tu re plans are beginning now to take hape. They are looking for– ward with great anticipation toward erecting a new building on their pres– ent property wh ich i located at Route 306 just off from Interst ate 90 near Willoughby. In ovember al o we held meet- ing for Rev. P aul chenck at May– field as well a for Rev. Ken Mack at alem. Both of these are F.B.H.M. ~,orks and are moving along steadily to the glory of the Lord . We covet the prayers of each read– er as we enter this new year! We prai e the Lord for ever y opportunity He gives us to present Christ!
