ASSOCIATIONAL INTERIM MISSIONARY:
Closing Remarks
The short time of my interim ministry as your Associational Missionary will shortly come to an end. I will remain until near the middle of February to assist your recently called Missionary, Mike Blount, in the transition. My stay with you here has been greatly rewarding to me and I thank you very much for the opportunity and for your confidence.
My heart has been lifted and my spirit thrilled at the warm acceptance of Phyllis and I into your fellowship. I have been greatly impressed with your deep commitment to our Lord and His church. May you become ever stronger in your corporations with one another as you advance the cause of Christ in this area. We must never let down or slow up in reaching the lost and unbelieving communities around us with the Gospel. Remember, the Gospel has a “Go” in it.
Be strong and of good courage. Please keep us in your prayers as we will remember you.
With love and deep appreciation,
Joe and Phyllis Vernon
