Fatherhood is a sacred position. It has been said that to God Himself we can give no holier name than "Father." It is the appellation which Christ Himself ascribed to God. (Matt. 6:9.) Yet sometimes the trials and mundane duties of parenthood make a person feel anything but divine. Children have a way of stripping away all of the regal facade and amplifying the humanness of parenthood through servitude.
On this Father's Day, if you are privileged to have a father still living, do something special for him. Make him feel like it was worth all the self-sacrifice it took to raise you to adulthood. If you are still at home and under a father's care, do something to lighten his load and make his heart glad. This will set a good precedent for when you are a parent looking for your child's honor and love.
Throughout the month of May, thousands of books have been reprinted here at the Print Shop to replenish our regular stock. This has required ordering 5,000 pounds of paper. The burden of meeting this expense is offset by the anticipation and hope that many will be blessed through the knowledge gained in what is being sent out. We appreciate all who stand by us and make it possible to fulfill this commitment of publishing the Gospel.
For some months, the hymnal Evening Light Songs has been out of stock. We apologize for the length of time it is taking to reprint this book. Thanks for your patience in waiting for orders to be filled.
Bro. John Varghese, his wife, Sarah, and their son, Bro. Biju, made visa applications with the American consulate in India to attend some of the summer camp meetings here in the States. Word has been received that the applications for Bro. John and Sis. Sarah were accepted, but Bro. Biju's was denied. Please pray with us that this denial can be reversed. Also pray that the financial aspect of their trip can be met.
We encourage ministers to send in obituaries for funerals at which they officiate. Many times this is the only source we have of obtaining memorials of saints to print in the Faith and Victory.
We ask all of you who have a love for the truth to continue to uphold this printing work in your prayers. And if in any way we can be of assistance to you, please let us know.
Yours in the interest of God's Kingdom,
ăBro. Wayne Murphey
