Church Building Renovation
We are now meeting in a building which a Christian brother has allowed us to use for church meetings. We are currently accommodating this building to our needs. We were meeting in our house, but many people simply will not come freely to somebody's house unless they know the people, and without coming, they will not know us.

Tracts
We try to keep a regular schedule of giving out tracts in the area near and around our church. We go door to door and give out literature to people in the streets. All of this literature has the plan of salvation in it. Many times we double back and see some of the people we gave literature to actually reading it as they sit in their yards or shops.
What you can do: (1) pray for this literature to change people's hearts and that they would accept the Lord as their Savior. (2) Give money for more tracts. (3) Make a short missionary trip to visit us and help us give out some of these tracts.
Current Needs: In 1998 we printed 10,000 copies of a 24 page booklet I wrote on "What must I do to be saved?". We are currently running out of these books. Sometime this year we will most probably completely run out, and I will need to reprint something. I will probably rewrite this book (to make it shorter) or write something new. In 1998, our book cost us $1600 dollars for 10,000 copies. We have given out almost all except about 2,000. We have not received anything from anyone for these books, they were all given away free.
Needed: $1500 for new printing of evangelism booklet.
New Vehicle
We continue to do repair work on our current vehicle. We bought it (a 1996 Lumina minivan) in 2000. We now have around 180,000 miles on it, and besides things like vents, trim, and other things falling off, it has seen better days as far as the motor and the transmission.
Needed: $5000.
Donations to this Fund:
Grace Bible Church of Berne Indiana - $500.
Thank You.
