WORKING FOR THE LORD BRINGS JOY!

HI!

MY NAME IS MARK.

I ENJOY WHAT I DO!

I'M A VERY PRIVILEGED

CHRISTIAN. TM IN THE LORDS WORK!!!

IN HIS WORK, TVE GOTTEN TO
TRAVEL AND MEET ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE, SOME VERY POOR, SLEEPING ON
THEIR FLOOR, (BUT BEING ABLE TO PUT UP A SNORE)! TVE BEEN BAIT TO
FLEAS, BED BUGS AND MOSQUITOES, EVE BEEN RAINED UPON, STEPPED ON,
SAT ON, BUT WHAT A JOY TO BE A CHRISTIAN IN THE LORDS WORK! I'VE BEEN
IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES, AND IN EACH HOME I HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING

NEW. IN SOME I'VE BEEN TOLD TO "CALL BEFORE YOU ARRIVE" IN OTHERS,
"JUST WALK IN, WE'LL LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR YOU"! IN OTHER HOMES I'VE

INVITED MYSELF, (IMPOSED ON, IS A BETTER TERM), BUT IN ALL HOMES, I

HAVE BEEN BLESSED!

IN SOME HOMES 1 HAVE BAPTIZED THE WHOLE FAMILY

BEFORE I LEFT, (AS IT WAS WHEN 1 PICKED UP A MAN ASKING FOR A RIDE.) I
SHARED WITH HIM THE WORD, HE THEN ASKED ME TO PLEASE TURN AROUND,
TAKE HIM HOME AND BAPTIZE HIM. I ENDED UP BAPTIZING HIM, HIS WIFE AND
DAUGHTER, WHAT A JOY TO BE WORKING FOR THE LORD!

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRAVELING MY CARS HAVE

BROKEN

DOWN!

I'VE

ENDED UP IN HOMES I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE IN! ON ONE OCCASION, NOT

HAVING ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR, I ASKED THE
OWNER OF THE BUSINESS IF, "I COULD USE HIS PARKING LOT AND ELECTRIC
POWER TO SHOW THE JESUS FILM." THAT NIGHT OVER 200 PEOPLE WERE ABLE
TO SEE THE FILM, AND RECEIVE NEW TESTAMENTS AND TRACTS! THAT NIGHT
SOMEONE IN THE CROWD CAME TO ME AND INVITED ME INTO THEIR HOME
THEY PREPARED AND FED ME A DELICIOUS MEAL AND 1 SHARED WITH THEM
THE WORD!
ITS A JOY TO BE A CHRISTIAN, A CHRISTIAN IN THE LORDS

WORK! (BY THE WAY, THE BUSINESS DIDN'T CHAISE FOR PART^AND LABOR).
THE NEXT DAY, I WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO MY HOME REJOICING!!

WITH CHRISTUN LOVE,

Ksrk Lee Northrup, ^*8, Is the son of

missionaries Rodney & Maysel Northrup
