Pray for the Durhams in their loss of Rose. Pray for the Vandergrounds in their loss of Bill. Pray for Bob Rogers an<l his family. Remember Brother John White, Arthur Fetzer, Lloyd Morris. These all are dear men of God and there are even more who have suffer– ed heart attacks or other serious afflic– tions. Let us spend much time in prayer for one another. As we look to the mission fields, we see a great need. Never have the onslaughts of Satan been so strong. All forms of opposition are being felt by our missionaries. Intercede in be– half of Christian nationals in distant lands. Pray for their churches! * Jesus said, ' 'Men ought always to pray and not to faint." This is the need today-TRUE MEN AND WO– MEN OF PRAYER! "Lord, teach u s to PRAY!"

It was– a plea for help. This is a stritggl1ng c/1urch and they are still in need. This that we run here is a niore re- 1 cent report. A REPORT - by Rev. E. G. Riley, Pastor No doubt some are wondering what has happened as a result of the appeal for financial aid made by the Berlin Heights Baptist Church. A letter had been sent to our OARB churches. Out of the 190 sent, we received 16 replies. Each letter received contained words of encour– agement assuring us that they were holding us up to the Lord regarding our pressing need. Seven of these churches are now endeavoring to help us. We praise the Lord for these friends. What they are doing helps greatly! In our letter we asked for a reply • even if there could not be any finan– cial aid. We still ant icipate hearing from some others. Presently we are about $85 .00 short of the amount needed each month to meet our bud– get. Incidently, the budget has l een cut to the bone. In the church there are s igns of growth. All we need is help ... for a little while. As the church grows and is able to cure for these responsibilities we will noti· fy those who are helping us . \Ve need help ... NOW. Thi. i · indeed cJ "mis ionary" venture. Plea ·c let ti~ hear fron1 you. THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIS
