Urgent Financial Need: Richard McWilliams is a faithful preacher who has been working with the N. Charleston, SC, congregation for 22 years. His medical financial burdens have become so heavy that he needs help. I know this family and have volunteered to ask for help in their behalf. The immediate need is surgery for their 21 year old son (Richard, Jr.), which is scheduled for October 1 at Duke Medical Center. Both the hospital and the surgeon require advance payment, totaling $36,000. If you can help, make checks to: Church of Christ, 6337 Rivers Ave., N. Charleston, SC 29406. Please forward this information to others who might be able to help. For additional details, contact David Pharr at (803) 327-7853 office or (803) 817-1868 home.

Preaching Opportunity Desired: I am 16 years of age and am looking for preaching experience. I do preach, at this time, every month or so at the Manteca congregation in California. But I do not feel that is enough (because of my love of preaching), so I have recently been inquiring of where else I could possibly preach at. I don't want money, I just want time to speak. Preaching is my love, not money. Actually words cannot describe how much I enjoy preaching the Word of God to brethren and the lost. If anyone would like to know more about me or might have a possible opening for someone to preach a few times (even if it is just one time), I would really appreciate being contacted.
