    rst supporters

    I want to write about a man that made a great contribution to the nation of Israel.

    You more than likely do not give him a lot of thought as you read your Bible, but

    when you look at his complete family you begin to see that he raised children that

    made a difference in their generation.

    I am sure that almost all of us understand the role of a father, but our generation

    does not seem to have wisdom or understanding as to the importance of a father

    or the opportunities that the fathers role includes.

    As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

    Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but

    they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

    Ps 127:4-5

    Children are like arrows in the hand of a mighty man. It takes strength to shootan arrow and skill to direct that arrow to the target. There are certain things that

    a man must apply himself to if he is going to be successful with his wife and

    children. First he must decide who his enemy is! Until he makes a choice as

    to whether he will receive or reject Christ, he has not enlisted in the war. Oh, he

    belongs to Satan from the time of birth to salvation, but he may tell himself that

    he isnt ghting for Satan. In his mind he has not joined Satans soldiers, but

    without the Holy Spirit he can only do works of the esh and anything done in the

    esh cannot please God. Number one priority of man should be to deal with his

    soul so he can settle eternity and his family can dene who their enemy is.

    Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them! What is a full quiver? Is it

    one, two, six, twelve, or more? Just how many children should a man have? Aquiver was a bag that a man would keep his arrows in. The size of the quiver

    would be determined by whatever the man planned to accomplish. The Bible

    doesnt tell man how many children he should father. My father and mother had

    ve children. Gloria and I have had three and then added four foster children

    (arrows that someone else laid down). If you cant have children there are plenty

    that others have laid down that you could pick up and direct and teach to defeat

    the enemy. Our assistant pastor has nine children and one of our missionaries

    have eight children. All I know for sure is that when that quiver is full, that father

    should be happy.

    A MAN THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE

    IN HIS GENERATION

    IN HONOR OF

    FATHERS

    Strength and sta-

    bility do not come

    accidentally. If

    you see a person

    who has been a

    consistent and

    faithful Chris-tian for many

    years, it is not a

    coincidence; it is

    the result of pur-

    poseful decisions

    they have madeand followed over

    time. No one ac-

    complishes great

    things for God by

    drifting.

    A MAN THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE

    IN HIS GENERATION

    How many happy fathers do you see today? When fathers and mothers are not

    happy there is trouble in paradise! It means we have departed from Gods way

    and are trying to do it our way. Gods way brings happiness! The father would

    probably say, You just dont know my wife. No one could be happy with her!

    His wife is saying, You just do not know my husband. No one could be happy

    with him. The truth is, in the esh none of us are any good, but I tell you if just

    one of you will start walking in the Spirit, instead of your esh, you will begin

    to see happiness in that home. God intended fathers of children to be happy!

    Americans thinking is upside down. Just think of the many ways that America

    goes about to AVOID having children. Even as far as to kill the ones they con-

    ceive! There is something wrong with Americas thinking, wouldnt you agree?

    America decides to have children the same why they decide to buy a pet. Its a

    social status, not a work of the Lord.

    The command to man (male and female) was to multiply and replenish the earth!The goal of man should be to obey God and do all his works as unto the Lord.

    Children should be used to do the work of the Lord and fathers and mothers are

    commanded to prepare and direct them to do just that. A mother is to prepare that

    child by the way she weans that child and a father is to direct that child by the way

    he daily instructs his life by showing him or her (by example) how to defeat the

    enemy. If a father is not defeating the enemy in his own life how can he expect

    his children to defeat the enemy. They are learning either what to do or what not

    to do by watching their fathers.

    Now lets discuss the man in the Bible that was very successful at raising children

    that could defeat the enemy. That man was Jesse. We know nothing about his

    personal life except that he was known as an Old man at the time David cameinto the picture. Jesse had seven sons and two daughters.

    All seven of Jesses sons were acceptable in the eyes of the people and could have

    become king. They were all brought before Samuel and Samuel himself thought

    surely the rstborn would have been king. But, God does the choosing accord-

    ing to the heart and not the outward looks. Yet, all of Jesses sons were prepared

    to serve. He had raised them in such a way that they were prepared for service

    should the Lord call them. Were they perfect children? Oh no! They were pre-

    pared children.

    Jesses sons were, Eliab, Abinadab, Shimma, Nethaneel, Raddai, Ozem, David,and his two daughters were Zeruiah and Abigail. Zeruiahs sons were, Abishai,

    Joab, Asaheel. Abigails son was Amasa. If you will study each one of these

    people you will see the effect that Jesses life had on the kingdom of Israel.

    The rst three sons of Jesse, Eliab, Abinadab and Shimma were mighty warriors

    in Sauls army as well as in Davids army. We dont know much about Nethaneel,

    Raddai or Ozem, but David of course was chosen to be king of Israel. Davids

    seed was chosen to rule the kingdom forever and Jesus came through the line of

    David. Do you think Jesse had any idea what God would do with his children

    when he was working to raise them and direct them as arrows toward the enemy?

    Not in his wildest thoughts could he imagine what God would do.

    While David was ghting Goliath, his

    brothers were ghting the rest of the

    Philistines. Jesse had four sons in tha

    war. Davids brothers were listed as

    mighty men in Davids army also.

    This is already a great honor for Jesse

    to have sons so used of God, but that is

    not all Jesse did. Jesse had two daugh

    ters, whose sons were mighty men in

    the kingdom. Jesse invested in both his

    sons and his daughters lives. They al

    had a zeal for their kingdom. Jesses

    grandchildren were mighty men.

    Davids brother Shimma had a son

    named Jonathan that killed one of Goli-

    aths brothers. Zeruiahs son, Abishai

    saved Davids life in his old age by kill

    ing the giant that thought he had killed

    David. It was Abishai that went withDavid to nd Saul in the cave. Abisha

    wanted to kill Saul but David wouldn

    let him. Zeruiahs son, Joab, was Da

    vids chief head of his army. He was

    second in command to David. Joab

    didnt handle things as righteously

    as David did, but he was a brave and

    mighty man. Zeruiahs son, Asaheel

    was killed while pursuing the chief of

    Israels army. It was said that he was

    light of foot and he wasnt afraid to

    pursue trouble. Abigails son, Amasa

    was who Absalom chose to be chief

    with him.

    Jesse produced some powerful chil-

    dren, daughters and grandchildren in-

    cluded. What are you doing as a fa

    ther? If the Lord came to your house

    today and wanted to use one of your

    children for his Kingdom, would they

    have been prepared and directed to be

    straight arrows?

    We dont know the sorrows or troubles

    Jesse met in order to raise these chil-

    dren. We dont know what personality

    clashes they had or what money prob-

    lems they encountered, we just know

    they were good at their work.

    These are the last days, fathers, and we

    need to have those arrows ready for the

    Masters use. ----Jerry Brewster

    Dear Brethren in Christ,I have been receiving Tid Bits of Wisdom for some time now. Thank you, it has been a

    blessing. We appreciate and can relate to you both in many ways. We too have been serv-

    ing the Lord over fty years in the pastorate going into churches that were ready to close

    and helping to get them revived again. It was a challenging and rewarding work as you too

    know with little pay. Our rewards have always been laid up in heaven. Our Heavenly Fa-

    ther has blessed us so abundantly over the years providing our every need and showering

    us beyond measure as we have trusted him for all things. He owns the cattle on a thousandhills and many is the time that he has sold a cow for us! God gave us a child after 17 years

    of prayer, a beautiful daughter. She is married to a Naval Captain and they have served all

    over the world in their witness for Christ. We have two precious granddaughters, 13 and 9

    years old who too love Jesus. Right now they are living in Tampa. Our Alisa was in Bible

    College at Pensacola Christian and upon visiting her we saw the need of a strong, Inde-

    pendent Baptist Church in Navarre. The Lord laid it on our hearts to be a witness here.

    We started with Bible classes in the school and eventually started Navarre Chapel and

    Academy, Independent Baptist Church. We rented a building for awhile and were pray-

    ing for something permanent. After Opal went through here, there was a small modular

    building that had been damaged and was for sale. After inquiring about it and learning of

    our endeavor it was given to us. Also some property was leased to us. It was moved and

    xed up, a beautiful little chapel that has sounded forth the gospel all of these years. While

    working on it we received a phone call from a stranger asking if we would like another

    building. Out of curiosity we went to see it. As we pulled in the drive and looked around

    we didnt see what it could be, thinking probably a shed. The man was standing there mo-

    tioning to us. We asked what it was he wanted to give to us and he pointed to his 2,000 sq.

    ft. ranch brick house. The oor had been damaged in the hurricane. He said, Its yours;

    all you have to do is move it. I thought, This is truly ridiculous. My husband said, Ill

    think about it and let you know. When we came to Florida we had a 23 ft. trailer we were

    living in and my husband Bob worked in the trailer park to pay for our rent. I was hoping

    that one day we could have a house. After sleeping and praying on the matter, the next

    morning he got up and said, Honey, the Lord showed me how to move that house. Bob

    has been a hard worker all of his life to provide for us. He is very talented in many things.

    He has raised houses and done all kinds of hard labor.

    God has given him many talents. So we began taking the house apart, brick by brick, piece

    by piece. The people whose property we were leasing, told us if we could move the house

    we could put it on their property. They were dear members of our church. Bob moved

    it in sections on a at bed with an old truck that was given to him. It took 3 years to put

    it all back together. A beautiful memorial to our wonderful Lord. It has housed us and

    has been a haven for missionaries and all that have passed through the doors. He had to

    clear the land which was all woods, put in the drives and sidewalks etc. And the beautiful

    thing about it all is that we have never owed any man anything. We have ministered to a

    lot of people that have come and gone, many have been military, with bases close by. We

    are a small church, anywhere from 40 to 50 depending on the length of stay of military

    families.

    Bobs heart has always been for missions. We help support over 60 missionaries andworks. Also we support many nationals. We have seen many come to Christ all over the

    world. We hear of some walking for miles to hear the Word in a little thatched roof build-

    ing and we have thousands of cars that go by daily here without a notice. But praise the

    Lord for the faithful few. Bob will be 79 June 5th, and still preaching with strength and

    conviction and standing true to the Word of God, he has never wavered. We are still for

    the OLD FASHIONED WAY. There is no other way, though it is trying to be put down on

    every hand. We are keeping the banner waving. We will put you on our prayer list and if

    you be so led we covet your prayers for us in Navarre, Florida. May our Heavenly Father

    bless you abundantly and use you mightly in these last days.

    In His Love, And Service - Pastor Bob and Marjorie Archer

    At the close of a Sunday morning wor-

    ship service the congregation was asked

    to stand and sing the closing invitational

    hymn. The pastor (my husband) was

    prayerfully leading Throw Out the

    Lifeline as I popped a Life Saver candyinto my mouth. I was singing for all I

    was worth. When we got to the chorus,

    Throw out the lifeline, I accidentally

    swallowed the Life Saver which stuck

    in my throat. With a loud involuntary

    hack, the candy ew out of my mouth

    and shot across the pews. It didnt take

    too much imagination for those who wit-

    nessed this unintentional demonstration

    to see a line attached to the Life Saver!

    HOW TO LOVE THAT MAN!

    The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false

    accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

    That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love

    their children,

    To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that

    the word of God be not blasphemed.

    Titus 2:3-5

    Well, I am that aged woman now. I remember when I was in my early 40s, hold-

    ing hands and praying with a young woman, and her saying, You are my answer

    to prayer. I asked the Lord to send me an OLDER woman and here you are.

    After getting over the shock of being an older woman, I regained my composure

    and got back to business. I am 68 yrs. of age now and am no longer shocked at

    that term. I have earned these gray hairs and I have much to share with you that

    the Lord has taught me as I have had to learn to love my husband.

    I remember thinking years ago, why would the Lord say we had to learn to love?

    Wasnt it love that caused you to marry him? It was a form of love, yes, but the

    love that the Lord is talking about here is a lifetime love that will take you all

    the way through your vows. We have to learn to love like God loves us. Now that

    is REAL LOVE!

    We have a created calling in life, and that calling is to be an HELP MEET. We

    are to help meet the needs of mankind. We have the highest calling and that call-

    ing is to serve. When they asked Jesus who was the greatest in heaven, He said the

    servant was the greatest. Earth may not give us the honor we deserve, but heaven

    will. Heaven knows our importance.

    I am going to ask you some hard questions now. Is your home a better place be-

    cause of you? Is your husband a better person since he took you for his wife? Areyour children better because they have you for a mother? Are your friends better

    off for knowing and running with you? In other words, do you make a difference

    in the lives of those you serve? Do you better them or do evil (destruction) to

    their lives? We were created to help, not hurt. Anyone can hurt, but where are

    the helpers?

    The most important work that you do for the Lord will be the work you do for your

    husband. When his life is better, then your life is better. What goes around comes

    around. Here are some of the things that you can do to love that man.

    We are told to reverence our husbands. To reverence is to stand in awe of, or

    fear of. That doesnt mean that we are

    scared of them, but that in fear of the

    Lord we honor their position, knowing

    that the Lord requires it of us and will

    judge us for how we serve them.

    Not only do we reverence them because

    of the fear of the Lord, but also to help

    our husbands understand their value to

    the family. If your husband does nohave a good understanding of his im-

    portance to the family, he will not fulll

    his role with respect. If we treat him as

    if he is a nobody, then more than likely

    he will act like a nobody and will not

    respond to our needs.

    I asked someone the other day, What

    if your husband was a Muslim? Would

    God still expect you to treat him with

    reverence? I have thought a lot about

    that since I asked that question. Thefact is some women are married to cru-

    el men. Does that excuse them from

    showing reverence to their position?

    Muslim law has no respect for women

    and they treat them as some animal

    but does that change who that woman

    should be? God tells us to love our hus-

    bands and that does not mean only if he

    is lovely. Our command does not de-

    pend on who the man is, it depends on

    who our God is and what our God has

    commanded of us. We are to always

    love mankind and we are to always

    reverence our husbands position in the

    home. If we are not doing this, we are

    not being an HELP MEET, but we

    are plucking our house down with our

    hands. I, am very much opposed to this

    Presidents reign, but I must not allow

    myself to become disrespectful to his

    position. I walked into a church last

    David Joseph Cimino is Connie Ciminos son who lives in the Knoxville, TN area

    with his wife Emily and their two sons, Josiah, and Devin. D.J. (as we all know

    him) wrote this article on his blog while on a visit back home to TX after visit-

    ing his dad's grave site. We thought it would be nice to include a remembrance

    of Bro. David since he put much of his life into the Wonderful Word Publisher to

    help his father and mother. After his fathers death, Bro. David and Mrs. Rose

    continued the work. Now, after Bro. Davids death Mrs. Connie Cimino contin-

    ues the work.

    Eph 6:2 Honor thy father and mother; which is the rst commandment with prom-

    ise.

    To honor means to prize, that is, x a valuation upon; by implication to revere: -

    honor, value. (taken from Strongs)

    My father passed from this present world and into the presence of Jesus on July

    25, 2001. Ever since he has been gone, and ever since my own son was born, I

    have thought about how truly valuable my parents are to me. Being a man, I es-

    pecially see the gift that God provided for me in my father. Below are just a few

    ways in which my father was a gift to our family, and specically to me. This is

    just a small attempt to honor him and his life.

    Dad introduced me to the gospel. Dad had been saved by the Gospel, therefore,

    he knew its worth. Because of this he spent his life making sure that it got into the

    hands of sinners all over the world. Most thankfully for me, he made sure I knew

    and understood the Gospel message that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again

    for sinners, and that by the blood of Christ our sins have been propitiated and the

    wrath of God towards us had been satised. I am so blessed to have been born

    into such a family that knew and proclaimed the Gospel.

    II Tim. 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,

    which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in

    Christ Jesus.

    Dad loved his family. Dad never was the type of father that kept his distance fromthe family. He was always there and always available. Dads relationship with

    mother was a good pattern for me to follow with my wife Emily. Dad was always

    helping Mom out, whether it was making a quick run to the store, or washing the

    dishes after supper. And knowing how Dad loved me when I was growing up pro-

    vides me with an example of a loving and loyal father, something so many kids

    today dont have. I want that for my sons, Josiah and Devin.

    Dad taught me to trust in Gods provision. I will readily admit that I often fail in

    trusting God for my needs as I should. This is a sinful thing, and it is a sin that I

    am always seeking to mortify. But when I became a teenager and began to realize

    the nancial hardships that popped up (and living off of a missionarys income

    those times were often), I remembe

    Dad always telling me The Lord wil

    provide. And yes, He always did. I of

    ten look back at Dads example and re

    ceive strength from it to trust in God.

    Dad taught me to put God rst. Many

    people dont realize this, but my Da

    had a full scholarship to play football a

    the University of Tennessee. But feelin

    the call of God upon his life, he turne

    the scholarship down in order to attendTennessee Temple University as a Bibl

    student. Clearly, that one decision ma

    have impacted my life more than any

    other decision Dad made in his earl

    years of manhood. If he had rebelle

    against God, there is no telling wha

    would have become of his life. But b

    the Lords enabling grace, Dad put Go

    rst and went to Bible school instead o

    doing what would have been, humanl

    speaking, the smart choice. I cancount the number of times that story ha

    replayed in my mind. I thank God fo

    Dad putting the Lord rst. It is truly an

    example to learn from.

    Dad made mistakes, but he was man

    enough to admit it and seek to mak

    things right. Im glad I didnt have

    father that thought he was perfect. See

    ing this humility taught me the virtue o

    admitting when you are wrong some

    thing we all struggle with.

    There is much more that I could sa

    about my Dad but the bottom line is,

    love him and I miss him. But most im

    portantly, I thank God for him.

    HOW TO LOVE THAT MAN!week and saw a picture of the President on the wall. I knew that church did not

    believe the way our President does and my rst thought was, Why on earth do

    they have his picture in the church? It seemed like the Holy Spirit said, Because

    he is your president. I was reminded not to let the personality change the way I

    treat the position. What about us? The throne is our husbands. Lets help him sit

    there in dignity. Learn to let God rule your house through your husbands posi-tion, so your husband can feel the burden of the home on his shoulders (men get

    stronger through pressure). God is God enough to work through that man. Relax,

    believe and trust God.

    Another way to love that man is to forgive him for not being perfect! I dont care

    who you are married to, there are going to be things that you are going to have to

    forgive him for. If he offends or hurts you, that act has to be forgiven for you to

    be able to continue to love him. He may not feel he needs forgiveness (he may

    not think he has done anything wrong), but you need to forgive in order to keep

    pure love owing to his life. Now, do we forget it? We are like elephants. Lets

    face it, we never forget, but when we remember, we are to attach new meaning to

    it. Instead of remembering the hurt, we remember the help it brought in our liveswhen we learned how to forgive. I am better for every time I forgave anyone. I

    can feel Gods pleasure on my life when I forgive, from a pure heart, the hurts of

    others. Satan stopped reminding me of my past failures a long time ago, because

    I started praising God for the things I learned because of them, instead of crying

    over my stupidity.

    I was taught at home that you did not go to bed mad. We were made to deal with

    any hard feelings at the end of the day and make things right with God. After

    Jerry and I had been married for awhile he did something that hurt me so bad that

    I decided that I would not forgive him. I held on to my unforgiving spirit for three

    days and I realized I was quickly becoming a bitter woman. I didnt like the way Ilooked or the way I felt and I didnt like the way I was responding to everyone. I

    realized I had to forgive him or it was going to change my whole life and end with

    my destruction. I called Jerry in and told him I was forgiving him; I couldnt take

    it any longer. Unforgivingness destroys us and causes the Lord to not forgive us,

    plus it stops our LOVE from touching the lives of our loved ones.

    Mankind kills mankind! Why do we do this? Why do we go about killing the very

    people that God has called us to love? Listen to the news before you go to bed

    tonight and see just how many people killed those they were upset with. Oh, but

    thats not us. We (Christians) know better than to take a gun or a knife to some-

    one else. Thats right. We use the tongue as our weapon. If our husbands dont

    do what we want them to do, the rst thing we do is withhold our blessings fromthem. We desire to hurt, not help, to reveal their wickedness, hoping they will be

    known for their failures. Angry words stir up strife and only a person walking in

    the Spirit will not be taken in by angry words. We are to overcome the angry

    words and the wrong deeds that are spoken and done to us. Do not let others

    change who we are in Christ. If your husband is doing things to wrong you and

    you are responding wrong, then he will never have to deal with his wrong. But, if

    you do not respond with wrong, but with love, then he must face himself and deal

    with his problems. When we correct a person the rst thing they desire is to point

    out our wrong. Make sure you walk a straight walk where no one can

    accuse you of wrong doing.

    Ok. Now that we have given our hus-

    bands the honor due them and we have

    forgiven them, what do we do next?

    The rst two things are actions of love

    and next is to serve them love.Now as touching things offered unto

    idols, we know that we all have knowl-

    edge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity

    edieth. 1 Cor 8:1The word edieth means house builder

    or constructor. In other words char-

    ity builds and Proverbs says that every

    wise woman buildeth her house but the

    foolish plucketh it down with her hands

    The opposite of charity is destruction

    You will never build a good home with-

    out pure love (charity). Take a close

    look at these verses and ask yourself

    Am I working through love?

    1 Cor 13:1-8

    Though I speak with the tongues of men

    and of angels, and have not charity,

    I am become as sounding brass, or a

    tinkling cymbal.

    And though I have the gift of prophecy,

    and understand all mysteries, and all

    knowledge; and though I have all faith,

    so that I could remove mountains, and

    have not charity, I am nothing.

    And though I bestow all my goods tofeed the poor, and though I give my

    body to be burned, and have not char-

    ity, it proteth me nothing.

    Charity suffereth long, and is kind;

    charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not

    itself, is not puffed up,

    Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh

    not her own, is not easily provoked, thin-

    keth no evil;

    Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth inthe truth;

    Beareth all things, believeth all things,

    hopeth all things, endureth all things.

    Charity never faileth: but whether there

    be prophecies, they shall fail; whether

    there be tongues, they shall cease;

    whether there be knowledge, it shall

    vanish away.

    GODS TOOL CHESTThe carpenters tools had a conference.

    Bro. Hammer was acting as chairman,

    but the group soon informed him that

    he must leave, because he was too noisy

    Bro. Hammer said, If I leave the car-

    penter shop, Bro. Gimlet must go, too.

    He is so insignicant that he makes very

    little impression.

    Little Bro. Gimlet rose and said, All

    right, I will go, but if I go, Bro. Screw

    must go, also. You have to turn him

    around and around again and again

    before you can get him to go anywhere.

    If you wish, I will go, said Bro. Screw

    but then Bro. Plane also must leave. Al

    his work is on the surface - there is no

    depth to him.

    To this Bro. Plane replied, Well, Bro.

    Rule will have to withdraw, too, for he

    is always measuring folks as though hewere the only one who is right.

    Bro. Rule then complained against Bro

    Sandpaper, and said, What about him?

    He is rougher than he ought to be. He is

    always rubbing people the wrong way.

    In the midst of the heated discussion,

    the carpenter walked in. He had come

    to perform his days work. He put on

    his apron and went to the bench. He

    employed the hammer, the gimlet, the

    screw, the plane, the rule, the sandpa-

    per, and all the other tools.

    When the day,s work was over, the

    carpenter had completed a pulpit from

    which the gospel would be preached.

    Bro. Hammer arose and said, Breth-

    ren, I perceive that all of us are laborers

    together with God.

    Oh, how many of us Christians are just

    like those tools, fussing at each other,

    because the other fellow doesnt dothings just the way we think he should.

    There was not an accusation against one

    of those tools that was not absolutely

    true; yet the carpenter used every one

    of them. There was not a place where

    he used anyone where any of the others

    would have done at all. Oh, how carefu

    we should be in nding fault with one of

    Gods tools.

    MONTHLY REPORT

    It is so good to be used of God to rescue the perishing. Im glad God gave us a

    part in His Kingdom. When you see a life being made whole you are watching

    a miracle of God being performed. Watching always takes me back to the time

    Christ came into my life and set me free from sin.

    We are having more opportunities to serve than we have resources to handle.

    Tid Bits took Mrs. Barbara Davis to the border last month to give out her chil-

    drens materials to pastors and to pass out tracts at the ee market in Browns-

    ville Texas. Thousands of people go through that market and they actually ask

    for tracts. Tid Bits has given to several missionaries needs this last year and

    if you would like to be a part of this you can share by sending a special gift for

    special needs. Our monthly supporters meet the need for ofce supplies and

    mailing, but we can only do other things when we receive special one time gifts.

    For the next few weeks we have a young man named Flecher Mulnix, from Bob

    Jones University, sleeping in the ofce and doing his internship with Glenn Beck.

    He is studying journalism. It is nice to be a part of his training by making roomin our ofce. He loves the Lord and is very pleasant to be around.

    Bro. and Mrs. Gibson were here Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. They are

    the distributors of Wonderful Words tracks in the valley. It was good to visit and

    share memories of our times with Bro. Roloff. Anyone who spent time around

    Bro. Roloff always have interesting stories to share.

    Page 3 is a letter from one of our readers. I do so appreciate them sharing their

    lives with us and I feel like I know them. There does seem to be a kindred spirit

    here. We may not be able to print everything we receive, but we would love to

    hear from you and know a little bit about your lives. We will print articles as the

    Lord gives us liberty. It was sweet of them to share the funny happening of her

    life with us. If God has blessed you and worked in your life, share it with us.

    Your story may be the encouragement that someone needs.

    Many have asked about our health. God has been giving us strength for the work

    He has given us to do and our health issues have not been a priority. My heart has

    dropped eight times in the last three months but has recovered before the debril-

    lator had to kick in. Gloria has an aneurism that is 3.9cm and will require open

    heart surgery should it get to 4.5cm. We are praying it will not grow. It has to be

    checked every six months. It has grown 1cm in the last year. We would appreci-

    ate your prayers concerning this. Also, Mrs. Judy Connor will be having surgery

    on her back the 13th of June and they would appreciate your prayers for her. Wepray God will richly bless you who share with this ministry

    Remember, if you would like to honor someone who has passed away, with a

    love gift to the paper, we will print their names in the next months paper. All

    gifts can be sent to Tid Bits of Wisdom, 1801 Old Hickory Trail, DeSoto,

    Texas, 75115, phone 214-293-5252. Our web address is on the back page. All

    gifts are tax deductible. This paper is paid for by faith through Gods people.

    We are Jerry and Gloria Brewster, born again servants of the Lord Jesus Christ,

    making ourselves available to Gods service.

    Faith Of Our Fathers

    Jude 3

    Faith of our fathers, living still,

    In spite of dungeon, re and sword;

    O how our hearts beat high with joy

    Whenever we hear that glorious Word!

    Refrain

    Faith of our fathers, holy faith!

    We will be true to thee till death.

    Faith of our fathers, we will strive

    To win all nations unto Thee;

    And through the truth that comes from God,

    We all shall then be truly free.

    Refrain

    Faith of our fathers, we will love

    Both friend and foe in all our strife;

    And preach Thee, too, as love knows how

    By kindly words and virtuous life.

    Prov 17:6

    Children's chil-

    dren are the crown

    of old men; and the

    glory of childrenare their fathers.
