Tl1ese folk do indeed need oi,r prayer and any other /1elp we 111ig/1t give the111. On December nineteenth the newly con tructed building of the Grace Bapti t Church of Kent was totally de troyed by fire. A month from completion and occupancy it repre– sented many hundreds of hours of volunteer labor and sacrificial giving by members. The loss, estimated at over $45 000.00, included per on·al tool and all equipment and maiterial to fini h the tructure. Fire officials .- have found ·ub ·ta.nlial evidence of ar on by persons unknown. The young church formed two a nd one half years ago to h elp meet the Kent State University area's needs, i presently without a pastor and is meeting in Kent's Central Grade School. P lans have already been made to proceed by faith with erection of a new structure, and the spirit of the church is trust1ngly optimistic, but there is an immediate need for loyal prayer and tangible support from our churches. Pictures and further informaition will follow in the next issue. FELLOWSHIP OF BAPTISTS FOR HOME MISSIONS P.
