For more than a decade, the Church of Christ in Orangevale, California has been printing materials for WBS as a part of their mission outreach. More recently, they started printing some WEI materials as well.
In this issue of Update, we honor Jim McPeak and his faithful team of workers, and we thank the Orangevale congregation for its fellowship
.
Jim says that WEI and the Orangevale Church of Christ are “partners.” When members of the Orangevale congregation became involved in campaign efforts in India and Africa, they saw for themselves the value of printed lessons in foreign missions. This increased their commitment to the printing ministry. Now, they print WEI lessons in English, Russian, and Spanish.
Jim says, “The Russian WEI lessons are available for use in the U.S. by sister congregations (i.e., Rancho Cordova, CA) who are reaching out to Russian immigrants in their communities. The Spanish WEI lessons are currently being field-tested. Once released, the Spanish WEI lessons should help meet a great need here in the U.S. as well as Central and South America.”
Standing by the high-speed copy machine below are the three men who currently print the lessons.
Jim says, “The lesson books are put together in a cooperative effort involving both the Orangevale and the Fairfield congregations.”
The following picture shows seven people collating the books in the Orangevale fellowship hall. Standing: David Douglass, Paul Rizzo, Ken Gehring, and Dave Grall. Seated: Bess Haymes, Bill Haymes, and Charlot Grall.
Printing, collating, and binding books can be arduous work. Yet, these steadfast workers keep producing Bible study materials that God is using to teach people all over the world.
Thank God for the Orangevale congregation and for its partnership in world evangelism.
