Mark Samsill and I traveled to Malawi five years ago to visit native preachers supported by the College Hill congregation in North Richland Hills, Texas. Mark (pictured here preaching in Malawi with Brother Malik Ghambi interpreting for him) was one of the mission deacons at College Hill at the time, and is now one of the Shepherds there. We were so excited to see the work of the preachers in the Lakeshore area of Northern Malawi and in the city of Mzimba. They were faithfully preaching the Word of God in multiple congregations, planting new congregations, and were so evangelistic. We encouraged them and were blessed to teach them. The only problem we saw was that these preachers were spread out among multiple congregations and doing all that was possible for them to do, and there was no one trained to assist them and no one being trained to take their place.

Olivia and I were able to celebrate a huge milestone with the
congregation here in Forth Worth. God has blessed the Legacy church of
Christ with abundant growth and fruitfulness. Over the past 50 years
this congregation has been growing and growing! This growth has forced
them to add onto buildings, move locations, and build bigger
facilities. Legacy was even forced to go to two services because it
could not accommodate the whole congregation. This last Sunday morning
was a change-- at the completion of its new auditorium, the whole
congregation was able to meet together in its entirety.
