children will find it extremely difficult to support themselves. Their options will be limited and they may very well find themselves in the same tragic situation from which they were rescued.
There are over 200 young people currently benefitting from this program. There are, of course, very many times more that would love to benefit from this scheme, but that's not possible at the moment for everyone. It is not possible to cope with all the very deserving cases of need to be helped by this scheme at the present time, but you can get further details from them of the great work they are doing `and how they may be able to help you.
It is claimed that 97% of the world's population have heard about Coca-Cola, 72% have seen a can of Coca-cola and 51% have tasted it. It has only been around for 130 years.
These statistics really shook me from a simple one man situation Coca-Cola has become universally known. The Christadelphians have been going for over 160 years and to our shame in many cases we are not even known in the area we live in and even fewer know of our existence worldwide. One of the later days signs Jesus told us was "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come" (Matt 24:14). We need to urgently spread the Gospel into all the world which is just part of our reasonable service.
LOCAL NEWS LETTERS

In this issue of Gospel News we are printing
extracts from copies of local Newsletters
from South Africa and Caribbean. They
are so informative and knit together their
communities as families in the bonds of
love and peace and I feel are so upbuilding
and encouragingly stimulating, that it
could be a good idea for others to follow in
producing local newsletters in their areas.

My child, don't lose sight of good planning and insight. They keep you safe on our way and keep your feet from stumbling. You can lie down without fear and enjoy pleasant dreams. Pr 3:21,23-24
As the old year ends, we look forward to the year ahead. We make plans and commitments to try again to do our best and to live godly lives. It's good to plan according to God's will and purpose. It's good to remember what God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," says the lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
