4 Taking the saving gospel To a lost world RONALD COLEMAN 8813 WOOD GLEN DRIVE ROWLETT, TEXAS GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE CENTERVILLE ROAD CHURCH OF CHRIST 1102 E. CENTERVILLE ROAD GARLAND, TEXAS (972) DECEMBER 2017 God has richly blessed Rose and me in our foreign mission work through the year. I want to thank the congregations and individual Christians who give generously to make this important work possible. For almost 20 years we lived in other countries, working for the Lord Jesus. Since returning to the U.S. at the end of 1994, I continue to be occupied in foreign work. This has involved numerous campaigns and other kinds of work in various nations. In more recent years, I mostly teach in Bible schools with the emphasis being on training preachers. It has been a real blessing to me and I have no doubt that the work is vital. This year my work followed what is a pretty typical pattern. In January, I was in India with coworkers, Don Oelze and Bryant Perry. In March, as usual, I traveled to Ukraine. Kerry and Tommie Cain were with me. They have been frequent workers with us for many years in the city of Kremenchuk. Rose usually goes with me to Ukraine but had to miss this trip. In April, I taught in the Bible school in Piedras Negras, Mexico. It was my first time there. In May, Rose and I traveled with Kenny and Belinda Gardner to Querétaro, Mexico. I have taught in the school there about 20 times, beginning in Kenny, who teaches at the Brown Trail School of Preaching, has been with me several times. In June, I taught in preacher training schools in two locations in the West African country of Ghana. Rose and I both taught classes at the Teton Family

5 Encampment in Wyoming in July. In August, I was back in India to teach preachers in two different cities. My coworker was Dennis Thompson, a very capable teacher from the Wylie, Texas congregation. Dennis had the opportunity to teach in India once before when he was living in Abu Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Rose and I were back in Ukraine in October. We were accompanied by Don and Elnora Oelze, our usual coworkers on this autumn trip. Don has worked with me there many times first in Here at home I have had several preaching opportunities and have given some mission reports. Late in December, Rose and I will travel to Pago Pago in American Samoa. We lived in this small, island nation for three years beginning early in The All Samoan Workshop is held each December. When living in Pago Pago, we attended two such events. One was in Apia, the capital of the nearby country of Samoa known as Western Samoa until The other was in Auckland, New Zealand where many Polynesians live and there is a Samoan congregation of the church. In the coming lectureship, there will be classes during the day and a nighttime assembly a five-day affair. This year Rose will teach a ladies class and I will be the speaker each night. The workshop begins on Christmas day. We will be home only about a week before I leave for India. Please keep us in your prayers! Your coworker, Ronald Coleman The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes. (Psalms 19:7,8)
