Members Value Loyalty and Dedication of Their Ministers
I'm from the Belle Vernon church area in Pennsylvania and Mr. Dave
Johnson is our local minister. I want to tell you of the fine job
he is doing.
I have the utmost respect for him and his wife. He gives all he
can to our church area. He is there any time to help or counsel us
and never hesitates to make time to even come to our homes. His
sermons always seem timely and inspired by God. If it wasn't for
the help, correction and guidance I've received from Mr. Johnson,
I could never have made it through the hardest trials and temptations
of my life this past year.
Thank God for ministers of this kind who care for God's children. I
feel God really uses him. He is very dedicated and committed to God,
Jesus Christ and to the doctrines you have set down by God's inspira­
tion for the Church.

We've been wanting to write you for some time to let you know how
much we appreciate the minister in our area. We attend the Champaign,
Illinois church and Mr. Randy Holm is our minister.
Mr. Holm is so sensitive and compassionate. He has a great deal
understanding and there is no doubt that God is working through

Mr. & Mrs. Joel Bryan (Ashmore, IL)
I would just like to say how much the Omaha area appreciates Mr.
Docken. Everyone I've fellowshipped with thinks he's just what the
Omaha church needed. His sermons make us realize how far we have
to go before we'll make it into His Kingdom. It's a real sobering
thought! God places His ministers in their right places and each
one fits his congregation.
Our teens are stronger than ever before too.
Mrs. Sandy Muellner (Plattsmouth, NE)
I'd just like to go on record as saying how much I admire and respect
our minister, Mr. Hargrove. It is very inspiring to hear him speak,
although invariably the sermon hits me right between the eyes and I
end up squirming a little in my seat. Mr. Hargrove has been an ex­
cellent teacher, helping us to understand God's Word, which enables
us to put it into practice in our lives. He has also been behind
you, Mr. Armstrong, in every way possible.
Rebecca Hartman (Indianapolis, IN)
We all love our minister, Mr. Heaton. I have never seen a minister
more sincere about fulfilling his role. He visits more than anyone
I have ever met and you can call anytime of the night and he always
has a cheery hello. No one would know that before the call he was
probably sound asleep. He has made his house available to anyone
