The month of August began with deep sorrow. Wednesday night, July 31, Jude Walton of the Spot Bay church went home to the Lord. Jude had a kidney transplant 20 years ago which was failing. He was waiting word to see if his wife, Laura, would be an acceptable donor. He was on dialysis but seemed to be coping pretty well. I had Bible studies every week with Jude and Laura. Jude was also an active member of my Friday night men’s Bible study. He had a vibrant testimony an

The Doyle family returned to the United States the end of July, only to discover the housing they had planned for the first few weeks in the Kansas City area did not materialize due to the previous renter. After attending the Missionary Retreat , they moved to live near Christy’s parents in Eucha, Oklahoma. From there, they have already traveled to two churches and a camp to tell about their work.

We are making these books available to you as our gift for a donation of any amount. If you would like to receive a book, please make

Almost 30 current and former missionaries representing 9 different fields with a combined total of some 382 years of ministry for the Church of God (Holiness)—what an excellent group of people came together for the 2019 Missionary Retreat. Including children, board members, and helpers, our total attendance reached almost 60 individuals. We wish you could have been at Harmony Hill last month to participate in this first event of its kind. You would have taken many walks down

Furlough (home assignment) is an interesting time for missionaries. Every time we think about it, we realize more and more that our true home is a place we have never been—heaven. As we transition from this ‘home’ to the ‘old home’ where our families and friends live (or at least used to), we are faced with mixed emotions. For us adults, it’s not quite the same place we remember from previous years. People, culture, and even places have shifted over the past four years. Some
