Volume 11, Number 1, July-August 2007 by Norman Scott Edwards
We
are continuing our efforts to establish a Christian Community here at Port
Austin with an emphasis on teaching young people. Our trip to the With
small churches spread throughout the country, how do young people keep their
relationship with God, prepare for a job, get a job and find someone of like
belief to marry? One
solution with which I have had personal experience: Caring Christians in areas
where there are many young believers find a place to live and a suitable job
for a young person from a sparse area. This allows the young person to remain
in a Christian environment and get to know many other young people. I think
this is a wonderful idea and I encourage other Christians to do this as they
are able. But
most young people do not have this option available to them. That is why we
hope to add PABC to their list of options. At the next Several
good things have happened in the past few months: • The trial date with Terry Williams has been
delayed until November 1 & 2, 2007. We would like to be finished before
that, but it will give us one more chance to try to settle with him in
accordance with 1 Corinthians 6:1-11. As Mr. Williams will not communicate
directly with us, we repeat our offer that if any brethren are able to
arrange a meeting between him and us, we will be there. * If the case goes to trial, we have considered
a number of possible outcomes of the trial, and have a plan, God willing, to
continue our work here for each of them, • The water and sewer system that services our
property and others in the area (Norman Edwards is Secretary-Treasurer of its
board) is now operating without losing money. Technical and billing problems
have been solved. • Our garden and chickens are producing very
well, keeping our expenses to a minimum. • There is other good news, but certain aspects
of it need to remain confidential for now, so we will write about it in the
next issue. We
hope that brethren will make an effort to visit PABC if they can, either
during a Feast or some other time that is convenient. We have over-night
rooms available nearly all of the time. We
welcome questions and comments and will try to print as many as we can in our
letters section. Our
financial situation is still very tight—with essential money coming to us
only weeks or days before we need it. But as long as God leaves the door open
with enough space to walk through, we will keep going—even if we have to fast
and further tighten our belt to fit through the door. May
the Eternal bless you all. & Download Full Issue in PDF: July-August 2007 Quick PDF (.6 MB) July-August 2007 High-Quality PDF to Print (2 MB) Back to front page
