Mission Printing is excited to announce the formation of our new website: www.missionprinting.us The site will give congregations and individuals access to our books and other Bible studies. If you find a book that would be of help to your spiritual walk or that would help someone else, you can print it directly from the site. You will be able to contact us through the website as well. This new avenue will also give people across the globe easy access to Mission Printing. |
The website will contain our books in .pdf and .doc file formats. There are also other Bible studies available. The site contains a history of Mission Printing and the vision of Guy and Jessie Lee Caskey. The website will continue to develop as time goes on. We would like to thank Loy Pressley of the Emory Church of Christ for all his hard work in building the website for maintaining it. We encourage you to visit the website and feel free to give us any feedback. |

Thank You From VendallI wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts during my hospitalization in May. The doctors had prepared my family for me to be hospitalized several months or even years. It was only through your prayers that I was able to leave the hospital so soon. I am much better now. Is is amazing how much we take for granted in this life. God has blessed us with an amazing existence. I have gained a new appreciation for the life that God has given me. My wife and kids mean more to me today than ever before. I have realized that when I married Elizabeth 10 years ago, I gained two of the greatest parents in the world in A.C. & Janet Massey. This time in my life has brought a better appreciation for my church family. Robert Waller, College Hill church of Christ minister, has shown me more about what it means to be a minister of the gospel than I thought possible. There is a passage that has been placed on my heart and soul during this experience: Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1). Once again, thank you for your prayers. Vendall W. Dollarhide |

I asked a wayward brother To come to worship with me. He said he had “stopped coming Because of hypocrites, don't you see?” He said, “Ole’ brother so and so Hurt my feeling in “83, And sister Susie Snorty Turned up her nose at me.” He said, “Some attend every service, But they're only filling a pew. Some don't sing, yet other sleep. Good Christians are very few. “There there’s that other brother– He didn't visit when I was down. Yet still, there's that sister Who always wears a frown.” |
So, Kindly as I could I said, “It would be a shame To miss a place in Heaven ‘cause on others you placed the blame.” And then I told him something My dad had brought to mind; “You have to make yourself smaller Than the ones you hide behind.” To God be the glory! |
A flood begins with a drop of rain.
A habit of sin begins with a single act of sin.
Choose your habits well.
They will either become your power or your prison.“But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full–grown, brings forth death.”
James 1:14–15
“But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self–control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
Galatians 5:22– 24

Jacob & Tiffany Baum: |

Jacob and Tiffany were married during their studies at Oklahoma Christian University. They met during an O.C. mission trip to Memphis, Tennessee. Serving in the inner city missions gave them the desire to continue working in that field. After their marriage in July 2001, they attended a small church of Christ in Luther, Oklahoma. The helped with the spiritual and physical growth of the Lord's church. While at the Luther congregation, they taught the young children's class, and Jacob was their song leader. They currently attend the Del City Church of Christ and are heavily involved in the visitation ministry. Jacob teaches a class for the 207rsquo;s group, and Tiffany and Jacob both work with the elementary children on Sunday evenings. In the summer of 2005, they were blessed to go to Victoria, Brazil on a mission trip. Upon their return from Brazil, they received a letter asking them to return to |
Victoria to help with the growth and spiritual development of the church. They accepted the offer and are now planning to move to Brazil in June 2007 with their new baby boy. In preparing for their mission experience, they have been making presentations attempting to gain financial support, as well as prayers. Their first presentation was to workers at Mission Printing. We look forward to supporting them with Biblical material and prayers. It is always uplifting when young families dedicate their lives to God's work. The following is a note from Jacob and Tiffany: Thank you so much for allowing us to come and introduce ourselves and to show what God has planned for us. Everybody was encouraging and it made our first presentation easier on our nerves. We look forward to our next visit. Thanks. |

Although I have not yet had time to look through all the material, I want to thank you for the literature which we recently received from you. We are very grateful for your wonderful generosity. I am sorry that I have not written sooner but much of the past month has been taken up with a visit from a group of young Christians from the U.S. My name is Les Totman. For the 14 years, I have served as the evangelist with the church of Christ in Bankstown, the southwestern region of Sydney, Australia. The congregation is almost 50 years old, having been situated in another suburb before moving to its present location about 15 years ago. Bankstown is one of the most multicultural regions in Sydney and this is reflected in the congregation which currently has members from more that 15 different national backgrounds. Some of these have had to learn English as their second language. Particular significance in this part of Sydney is a large Middle Eastern population. A large Mosque was built close to where the congregation formerly had its building. One of the key factors contributing to the congregation's move was the fact that many local members were moving away to other areas. Eventually, the membership had declined to about 15. They could not afford to employ an evangelist and were finding it difficult to maintain the building as well as carry out preaching, teaching, and other duties. Hence, the decision was made to sell the building, move, invest the sale proceeds by employing a full-time worker. Since then, the congregation has slowly but steadily increased. Local Christians continue to move elsewhere but despite this, we currently have a |
weekly attendance of around fifty. The Bankstown congregation also assists a small church meeting in Wollongong, an industrial town located about an hour's drive south of us. The church there has been without a full-time worker since the late 1980's. Several men from the Bankstown congregation take turns driving to Wollongong on Sundays to preach and teach. Two young men in Wollongong also preach and teach from time to time. One of them is from Ghana in West Africa. Various other congregations are scattered throughout and around Sydney, a city of four million people. If we take a 200 mile radius with Sydney at the centre, Wollongong in the south and Newcastle in the north, there are 15 congregations, most of which are quite small by U.S. standards. Of these, only two are presently able to fully provide the financial support of a full-time worker. However, there is increasing consideration being given to how we can meet this challenge without simply continuing to rely on the financial support of others. Churches here in Australia have, for many years, received much generous support from U.S.Christians (both individual and congregations). For that, we owe a debt of gratitude. Your present generosity is one more example of such ongoing kindness. For it, I once again express our thanks. My God bless you in His service and in the service of His people. Church of Christ in Bankstown |
