Stories coming into headquarters speak to miracles and supernatural blessings of God having been observed. Persons who were not considered strong prospects did the unexpected; they "rose from their seats in response to the appeal and went all the way with their Lord in water baptism." Additionally, the weeks spent attending these crusades lent to a greater understanding of the doctrines and teachings of our church. Though we have heard time and time again these doctrines, each occasion allows for strengthening and a deeper knowledge of that which we first heard many years ago. Truly, the meetings have been a blessing to pastors, members and non-members.

Finally, the following shows a breakdown of churches, evangelists and ministerially-reported baptisms. We encourage all pastors and clerks to ensure that the statistical reports are submitted to the office of the secretariat within the new week.

Ministerial Thanks Special thanks are extended to those pastors and lay brethren who played a pivotal role in the success of the various crusades. Your work of service and sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. On behalf of the Ministerial Department, thank you. To God be the glory, great things He hath done. - Pastor L. C. Rolle, Ministerial Director
