Important Travels/Labors by Rev.A.den Hartog and Rev.A. Stewart

The following related news items taken from two recent church bulletins contain significant information about the activities of two of our pastors, and so are posted here for the benefit of our members. May we remember to pray for these men and their wives as they travel and conduct these busy labors on behalf of their respective churches. May God be pleased to make these labors fruitful for the good of our churches and our sister churches.
