Legacy Letters 1999

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers,
The conflict over Jerusalem that culminates with the return of King Jesus is now heating up in the Middle East. Both Israeli and U.S. intelligence operatives have evidence that Iran is very, very close to having a weapons grade nuclear warhead that can be used against Israel. The U.S. believes it can “negotiate” with the mullahs in Iran. They also claim that economic sanctions will bring Iran into line. Recent history shows both those ideas are patently naive. Iran knows the U.S. is too weak to act, and the U.N. is a do-nothing organization. Former U.N. Secretary-General and now UN-Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan recently washed his hands of trying to bring some kind of resolution to the civil war in Syria2. The U.N. has become nothing more than an international sounding board for enemy nations to air their grievances against the United States and Israel.

21 February 2017, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, “TRIP TO BURMA” Gloria and I have returned from Myanmar (Burma) and have great things to report. First of all, I would like to relay that the Church of God is continuing to better organize in Burma. Burma has been a backwater for the Church of God for many years; indeed, it has been an adjunct to Australia and continues to be for some COG organizations. Part of the problem has been a lack of trained leadership for the fledgling churches that have sprung up over the years in many parts of Burma.

Dear Beloved FAITHFUL Brethren and FAITHFUL Fellow Laborers,

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS LOVE, MERCIES, and KINDNESSES TOWARD ALL OF US!

Why do we start our letter to all of you in this way? Because Leon and I have not written to you for over six months; and yet you have continued to be blessed by God to remain constant in your prayers, service, and sacrifices for the work of God in the areas He has given us to serve.
