News and Notes from our President, Dr. Don Smith:
 

January 25, 2008

    Get ready for a new look for our publication, "The Good Neighbor."   Starting in March, we are going to a full color sixteen page monthly edition.  We are excited about having a little more room for more articles, and more information.  And of course, color is always better.   It takes a lot of work to prepare a monthly publication, and I have a lot of new respect for people in the publishing business who have to produce a publication each day.  We have tried to make "The Good Neighbor" a good witness for this ministry.

    If you are not receiving "The Good Neighbor," please write to us and request it, and we will send you six months without charge.  If you wish to subscribe, it is only $10 per year, and of course that does not even cover the costs of printing and mailing it.  If you enjoy it, and want to help us cover the costs, we would appreciate it, but we just want you to know more about the Radio Bible Hour, and we see "The Good Neighbor" as a ministry.  We know many of you are inspired and informed by the articles and information it contains, and we enjoy having a way to communicate to our supporters.  We believe that the more you know about the Radio Bible Hour, and what we are doing, the more you will want to be a part of this work.

     Every month we learn something new about how to do mission work.  In supporting the orphanage in Jimani, we have been blessed by help from Mr. Lazaro Rolon and his wife Elizabeth who live in Puerto Rico.  Lazaro is retired from the Pepsi-Cola Company, and he now serves the Lord full time.  Each month he takes a load of supplies and travels by ferry to Santo Domingo.  From there he takes the long bus ride up to Jimani, and he helps administer the funds that we send to keep the children fed, clothed and cared for.  Lazaro and Elizabeth are our “people on the ground” in Jimani, and they help make us aware of needs, and help insure that the money we send is used with good stewardship.  Right now we are hoping to be able to purchase a diesel vehicle for the orphanage to use.  Brother Miguel’s car is barely running, and doesn’t have many miles left.  Pray that we will be able to find the right vehicle for them.

    Remember that the Lord never will place you where He cannot sustain you. 

    May God bless you, as we work to serve Him together. 

    Don Smith, President
