Other Matters
This means something. On the list above, the United States of America is at the top of the list and China is at the bottom.
Thank You. One user wrote, "Thank you for making the bible study resources available at your web site. They are very valuable. May the Lord bless you for your efforts."
More 'Thank You's. Occasionally users take the trouble to send feedback, mostly positive like the above. Another user said, "As a fellow servant I wanted to thank you for your faithfulness in telling folks water baptism by immersion IS part of being saved and born again."
Another birthday for simplybible.com. In December we entered the 19th year online for the website.
Sunday Worship. We continued to hold Sunday morning services in our home in Childers, with one Christian lady meeting regularly with us using Zoom.
Farm Workers from Vanuatu remained away from Childers. So we have provided some Bible lessons online in Bislama. One Christian man from Vanuatu is now able to attend at Bundaberg church which is a blessing for him.
Social Media In addition to YouTube, we have some pages on facebook to which we post regularly. The main one has over 4000 followers and a 4.8 star rating out of 5. So far, it appears, there has been no interference with our posts on social media.
Best Wishes for 2021 May God, in his gracious providence, grant you every blessing in Christ. May you be fruitful in his kingdom. May he help you in whatever trials you encounter.
Thank You
