NEWS FROM BROTHERS & SISTERS

evangelical family's opposition to my faith. My siblings and my family are not happy that I have embraced the Christadelphian faith, and it has not been easy trying to explain things and maintain my beliefs in the Bible truths that I have seen within our community. Honestly, it has not been easy at all as they treat me as an heretic who has disowned my previous faith.

I am extremely grateful for the Bible Basics you sent to me. It has gone further to enlighten me in the areas where I had hazy ideas or no ideas at all. The personality of God I did not know much about. The book is great in making a believer understand the true picture of the Almighty God. I thank you so much. My interest in reading the Bible on a daily basis has been heightened. I do understand most of the things I read. I have just taken delivery of the current Gospel News magazine and the DVD enclosed, although I encountered some problems playing it due to the fact that I haven't the correct gadget for playing it.

This year 2013 I have resolved to add more time to my reading the Word. The situation in which I found myself could only be allayed by the knowledge of God. I strive not only to read but also to do the bidding of God through the directives of Jesus Christ. The editorial in Gospel News "Fragile", the sub-section "Back to the Bible" was a real pointer to rekindle me towards the daily reading of the Word. All I ask the Almighty God is to help me to be a doer and not only a reader. Except for my daily reading of the Bible and other Bible- based literature I should have felt that my situation is the most hopeless. The Word has consoled me and made me look beyond my present difficulties. God is great and will be ever merciful to those who worship Him in spirit and truth.

I, Brother Effiong and my wife, Sister Glory Effiong, and young Ben, study in the Bible Basic course. We found it to be very useful to us. There are some people living far away from us who cannot study together in our ecclesia and I feel they need some Bible Basics and complete Bibles to be given to them for their studies. These people are preparing for baptism. "The Real Devil" is very useful to us. I
