Newsletter 2 July, 2000 FROM THE PASTOR Continue to pray for the Bank Guarantee to be finalised in writing. There was a slight hiccup with the Main Roads Department.but we trust that having submitted the required letter to them, all will go well. We have requested that we have a reply by July 12th which will then save us another payment to the Bank. Thanks to Matt Chivers and Ron Larner for all their hard work rebuilding a shed for the tractor. It started out as just a simple roof lowering job but one thing led to another ... etc. I appreciate the hours they have put into this area. Bless you both! Roly did a great job last Sunday AM, didn't he? I believe there was something for each of us to meditate on. I enjoyed the illustration about the safety-catch. What about you? Make sure you say "Hi!" to Phil and Nancy today. They are very welcome and I trust you will be blessed by their ministry today. My advice to all about the GST. God is not phased by it and He is still on the throne and in control. He is Jehovah Jireh - The God who provides. Changes to the economy do not affect His provision to those who trust Him. God Bless you all Ray & Marie Thought for the Week The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher.
