Not only does the passing of another year cogently remind us of the swift passing of time and the brevity of our lives but it affords us the opportunity for sober reflection.
We look back and with grateful hearts trace the unfailing faithfulness and goodness of our God. We look forward and anticipate with gladness that bright and blessed Maranatha morning when Christ will come. Midst the increasing tumult of a restless and dissatisfied world we incline our ears to hear that welcome voice we know so well, "Arise my love, my fair one, and come away." Song of Solomon 2.13. In view of that fast approaching moment, may the Spirit of God impress upon us all the limited opportunities to serve Him as we can only do on earth. May we be found waiting expectantly, watching and occupying "till He come," "redeeming the time." Col.4.5
We give thanks to God for His gracious help another year, enabling publication of "Assembly Testimony" to continue without interruption from its inception by godly brethren who were exercised about the instruction and edification of God’s people.
We appreciate the input of so many, those who write articles, those who pray for God’s blessing upon this ministry, those who encourage by their letters of appreciation, those who support by their practical fellowship and those who assist in the distribution of the magazines.
We are especially thankful to the Editor for his screening and selection of profitable material, to the Secretary and his wife for the cheerful way in which they undertake the many onerous tasks associated with the publication of the magazine and to the Accountant for his valued services.
It is our sincere prayer that we may continue to enjoy your prayerful and practical support, that believers may be edified and many of our unsaved friends be blessed as a result of the gospel articles. May you all know the Lord’s gracious blessing in the months of this year in His Will.
