NO MATTER WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD,

THERE IS ALWAYS GOOD NEWS TODAY

A Busy Year Ahead!

November. During our time in South-

east Asia, we plan to go to Malaysia,

to revisit the brethren with whom we

worked in the mid-1980’s and to

preach in at least one gospel meeting.

Besides our speaking during the Four

Seas lectures, I may have the oppor-

tunity to preach in a gospel meeting

with one of the faithful churches in

Singapore. It will have been thirty

years almost to the day since our fam-

ily left Malaysia as our place of resi-

dence.

The Four Seas Lectureship is a

tremendous opportunity to be with

brethren from all parts of Southeast

Asia—Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand,

and elsewhere. Sermons preached and

Janis’ lessons to the ladies will be

taken and shared throughout that part

of the world. This, too, will be an op-

portunity for us to promote Good

News Today’s presence on the inter-

net.

2017 is promising to be a very

busy year, as we anticipate much

activity and progress. The fine elders

of the Dunlap church, who oversee

Good News Today, have purchased a

large tract of land for future build-

ing—the site of the former Sequat-

chie County High School football

field. The old stadium on the proper-

ty will be renovated for use as an

annex building for benevolence,

youth activities, and church get-

togethers. The building will include

an apartment for visiting missionar-

ies and guest preachers AND the

new office and studio space for

Good News Today. We are very ex-

cited about this project, because

funds that are now paying rent may

be redirected for other needs.

Also, my wife and I have been

invited to speak at the Four Seas

College Lectureship in Singapore in

If you would like to help with this

endeavor, you may send contributions

to the Good News Today address, ear-

marked “Mission Trip.” However, we

do ask that you, please, do not take any

current assistance away from our ongo-

ing broadcasting work.

Thanks so much—Jim.
