Dear Brother Joe Wessell, A Deacon and the Elders Mike Latimer, Terry Melton, Greg Benson, Kurt Benson, Curtis A. Carter and the members at Village Creek Church of Christ, 390 Greene 721 Rd, Paragould, AR 72450

"I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper

and be in health even as thy soul prospereth" (3 John 2)

Grace Mercy and Peace be with you

From God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thanks to God always that through the recommendation of Grandpa Jim Mcdonald I and dad have been in the heart of the Village Creek church of Christ.

By God's loving providence one soul was baptized last Saturday, July 4, 2020.

Salvation belongs to the Lord. Man can't saved himself by his own initiative thus he needs to be right in the sight of God through God's own righteousness.

God's righteousness is therein the gospel of Christ in which man must believe and obey.

It is always great opportunity to extend the true gospel to the lost; with thankfulness last Saturday at the house of dad, I and dad had a meaningful Bible Study with one denominational pastor.

After the Bible Study, he decided to be immersed in water for salvation of his soul.

It is also an open door to establish a local church in the area where he is a native there in Malapatan Municipality, Sarangani Province.

Dad is also a native of Malapatan and the said newly convert is relative of dad.

His last question during our Home Bible Study was "Why is it that instrumental music not allowed to use in worship when in fact it was used by King David?"

When I answered that it does not mean King David practice one thing then it is the basis in the New Testament. David had many wives yet it is not authorized today to have many wives and it can't be the basis to authorize it today.

I thank God that he is satisfied with the answer.

Thank you so much and may God continue to bless each one.

In Christian Love,

Men Mark A. Tumandan
