The Reverend Ron Garrison, former pastor at Walkerton and now a London Pentecostal Church' pas- tor, was speaker: Sunday evening Feb. 27th he brought a report of his work in Russia, challenging us from St. Matthew' "Why stand idle all day long at this time when there is so much need to spread the gospel". Churches hold open services. Thousands have come to hear the gospel message and have accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. A few years ago 4,000 Bibles were published yearly. And now it is nearly 4 million Bibles printed and distributed each year. They may not have the material or the cars or houses etc, but they do have an abundance of love and appreciation for those who bring the gospel to them. Rev. Garrison urges us to take advantage at this time to do what we can to aid in the gospel getting to these Russian people. The Bible urges, go ye into all the world and ;pread the gospel of Jesus and His ..ove. Did you know?
