Dear, M _ inis

ters of Jesus Christ,
-·
. •,
M::r'. James Reyer was a cordial
..
host for my most recent church visit, to
Denver, Colorado, on July S.
Twelve· congregations from Denver and
surrounding areas made up a group of nearly 2,000 brethren. As always, it
was a great boost and encouragement to me to speak to, meet and greet so
many enthusiastic, positive people of God. One special highlight was a
fine children's choir, which sang special music for services.
I want to especially ask each of you to pray for Mrs. Alice Reyer.
Her cancer has grown steadily worse and though she looks well from the
outside her condition
.
is grave. Pray for Mr. Reyer, also. He needs God's
strength and power to endure this trial. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Schreiber
still n�ed our prayers as well. Mrs. Schreiber's cancer continues to grow
worse. God is faithful and knows our needs. Let's continue to show Him
that our hearts and minds are with our brothers and sisters who are
suffering.
I just returned this past Sunday, July 19, from a church visit to New
York City. More than 5,300 brethren met together in Mount Pocono on the
Sabbath.
I was able to spend about two hours after services meeting
personally with them. In addition we had an enjoyable meeting with the
New York area ministers in New York on Friday evening, and another with
all the ministers in the various churches surrounding Mount Pocono after
services on the Sabbath. I have · deeply appreciated the warm and
enthusiastic response you ministers have given me on each of these visits.
It was my first visit to New York City and I must say I was impressed!
I always considered myself a "big-city boy," having come from Chicago, but
I realized I was only a "country :,umpkin" when I arrived in New York!
Friday morning we wer� able to have a private tour of the Statue of
Liberty, arranged by Mr. George Evans, a local church elder who serves as
