More GROWTH in the Church of God - Roderick C Meredith - March 1960

Roderick C Meredith

Another local Elder has been ordained! A new local church has begun on the other side of the earth! "PRAY ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." (Mat. 9:38). Have YOU been praying that God would provide more ministers and elders for His Church? The need was never greater! After reporting in an accompanying article the ordinations of Mr. Harold Jackson and Mr. Frank McCrady as local elders, it is a real privilege and blessing to be able to tell you brethren at the same time of another ordination. God is beginning to raise up more local elders in the various local congregations-and many more are very much needed. New Local Elder in Portland God's church in Portland, Oregon, is one of our largest and fastest glowing. The attendance there is about 220 persons each Sabbath. Yet it has not had a resident minister for some time. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
