Dear Friends, Since our beginning, Bible Center has tried to take Jesus’ good news to all naons. The first printed bullen from the first worship service (Sunday, March 7, 1943) declares, “The City Bible Center is acve in world faith missions!” I keep a copy of it in my office as a reminder. Each year, God enables us to support new churches in Ukraine, a new hospital in Togo, a children’s ministry in Hungary, a school in Mexico, a leadership academy in Kosovo, an athlec ministry in South Africa, and a seminary in Jordan. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from one of our own fellow West Virginians, Jack Russell. Jack and his wife, Suzie, were Poca High School sweethearts. Aſter graduang from WVSU in Industrial Tech and working as a contractor for 15 years, Jack answered the Lord’s call to take his first pastorate in Red House, WV. Six years later (1990), the Lord led him to join New Tribes Mission, through which they have planted churches among the Simba villages of Bolivia. Aſter 15 years of hard work, Jack has completed the first Bible in Simba, a dialect of the Guarani language. Since they call Bible Center their home when stateside, and since God is using them to do amazing things, it’s my joy to introduce the Russells to you as part of this morning’s sermon. May God bless you, your family and friends with an enjoyable Thanksgiving!

Dear Friends, Since our beginning, Bible Center has tried to take Jesus’ good news to all nations. The first printed bulletin from the first worship service (Sunday, March 7, 1943) declares, “The City Bible Center
is active in world faith missions!” I keep a copy of it in my office as a reminder. Each year, God enables us to support new churches in Ukraine, a new hospital in Togo, a children’s
ministry in Hungary, a school in Mexico, a leadership academy in Kosovo, an athletic ministry in South Africa, and a seminary in Jordan. Today, we have the privilege of hearing from one of our own fellow West Virginians, Jack Russell. Jack and his wife, Suzie, were Poca High School sweethearts. After graduating from WVSU in Industrial Tech and working as a contractor for 15 years, Jack answered the Lord’s call to take his first pastorate in Red House, WV. Six years later (1990), the Lord led him to join
New Tribes Mission, through which they have planted churches among the Simba villages of Bolivia. After 15 years of hard work, Jack has completed the first Bible in Simba, a dialect of the Guarani language. Since they call Bible Center their home when stateside, and since God is using them to do amazing things, it’s my joy to introduce the Russells to you as part of this morning’s sermon.

Child dedication is a special service which seeks to highlight a parent’s commitment to raise their children with a God-centered approach to parenting. This ceremony is not a sacrament or a means of salvation for the child, but a wonderful opportunity for the church and the parents to consciously purpose to raise our precious children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. If you would like to participate in this special ser-vice, you may do so in one of three ways:– Contact Michelle Thompson;– Register on the Bible Center app; or– Check the box on the Commu-
nication Tab and place it in an offering basket.
November 27th is the last day to register.
