Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Greetings, in the wonderful name of Jesus. Wow, time has really flown by since I sent my last letter. Once again I want to thank each church for allowing me to share God’s call in my life. God still has me very busy in our area filling in for Pastors and helping churches that are without a Pastor. I am doing some traveling also. Not a lot yet, but I know that will come in time. We just want to thank God for all the opportunities He has given us to share His word. We also want to thank Him for His presence in all the services. All the souls that have been saved and the lives that have been changed are all because of Him.

At the beginning of this year, God opened another door of opportunity for me to minister. I started helping with the food distribution at Tabitha’s Pantry at Charlestown Baptist. God had laid it on my heart to join them in this work. When I told them I would come to help they said they had been praying for a preacher to help them. It has given me the opportunity to meet and talk with many people. Please pray that as we help some people with physical needs that we can also reach them for the Lord.

I want to thank you all for your prayers as we continue in the work God has called me into. I also want to thank the churches and individuals that have taken me on for support. I cannot express how truly grateful I am that you have chosen to support me in this work. We are at about 40% of the support we need. God has been providing for our needs in spectacular ways. He has been and continues to be so good to us.

In Christ’s love

Rev. Joe Newsome
