JANUARY, 197^
Dear Christian Friends, 1973 has been a wonderful year for our Lord in many ways. How we Praise the sweet Saviour! for

blessing this work in such a great way! This financial report is to show you what YOU have done for Him by sharing your worldly goods. God has multiplied these gifts many times over as we have seen Him bless the work with precious
souls who have been reborn. This has resulted from being able to spread the Gospel more effectively due to YOUR prayers and Y-QUR gifts! How God must love each of you for carrying out His Great

Commission in this way. Let us continue to labor together for Hira in 197^- This year, and in fact, this very hour and day draws us closer to Jesus* return. So let us do as Paul says in Philippians 3sl3-l^s "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." V/hat greater return can one get for his money than to help bring redemption to lost souls!

Greetings in the name of Christ:

people refuse to tithe or to sacrifice for the Lord's work. Ho^/ever, we are making strides. The Bible teaches that we are to be

in^r with our children, one has to realize that there is really no home life or family life. Reaching them for Christ is not an easy task. It is not just enough to baptize the child and say now he is a Christian, the Lord will provide for Him. It means years
of hard work, prayers, and reconciliation with God and with parents.
Many of our parents cannot afford the clothing or the bus fares

have succeeded to the point that all our services begin on time.
If one is present, I begin, So much of our work deals with reteaching. We must be willing to lay a solid foundation. We need the help of God's people everywhere to buy our church property. If we

wait until the Montego Bay Church Of Christ members have enough money of their own, there will be no land to buy. We need J$20,000. t.p buy this property. We have $3,000. of our own. Can
you help us with the rest? After the purchase, we would farm it so that it would be a money making venture and could earn money which would be put towards our building fund. I thank you all for taking such good care of us during 1973, and especially at Christmas. I was able to buy the children a T.V. set and we were able to buy each other presents. We shared with others and were able to assist many families with a Christmas basket so that at least they would have a good Christmas dinner. Community Services Center's helping the needy is now a viable project. In another two weeks our kitchen will be in operation. Food will be sold at cost, or given to the poor, or given to childrenwhose parents cannot afford limch, or it will be given to the man or woman leaving prison who is trying to find himself again.

"IF YOU GIVE A MAN A FISH..."

I am sure that you will agree we live In a fast changing world. Though the ageless message of God must remain unchanged, the nethods of proclaiming it must be constantly adapted to the needs of rhe people. The people of Jamaica have their own unique needs. There is an old proverb which states: "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; ...if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for life!" We are being used of the Lord in a ministry which is teaching the Jamaican to fish, spiritually and physically. The goal of our multi-facited ministry is to establish a congregotion of Christians that will be both self-supporting, financially, and active in evangelism. Such a congregation must be built upon a solid foundation of doctrine and it
must be sensitive to the needs of the community. One can hardly show

compassion for a man's soul and, at the same time, ignore the needs of
his body. As the Lord, Himself, said, it does little good to say to the hungry, 'be fed.' Thus, our ministry is to the 'total' man; spiritually, physically,

emotionally. And, through this concept of loving concern, many have already been led to our Lord. It is my hope thot you will look at this booklet and consider this ministry prayerfully,...that, with your help, we may fulfill the
commission of our Lord here in the Montego Bay area.

In advance, I thank you for your help on behalf of our Lord. Lloyd Morris

OUT FOR CHRIST!

Many of the people in our community are unskilled, unedu cated and unemployed. Some of the young people, out of
frustration, turn to crime and

mischief to occupy their idle

hours. Others steal to eat.

In order to demonstrate the love of Christ and minister to the

spiritual needs of the 'whole

man,' a Community Services

Center was opened in conjunction with the Probation Department. Here, skilled young instructors work to support themselves and simultaneously teach their skills. Many young people find self-respect, pride in themselves and their abilities, and a new hope for the future. No longer belligerent and mistrusting, their gratitude can be directed to our Lord who has made it possible.

Greetings from the Friendly City! Things here are looking good. The Center is commanding more and more respect from the community, in that we are receiving more support in feeding the children, although the center is always in debt, because every day prices go sky high. What is so frustrating is that the basic

foodstuffs are going higher and higher.

children daily.

We are feeding over 400

I am pleased that so many of the children who

are eating at the Center were successful in passingtheir

government examination. They will enter High School in September of this year. I am now in the process of trying to receive help
from the Government for these children clothing, book allowance, and boarding fees.

The Center is meeting such a need in the community that it suprises even me. Boys from all over Montego Bay congregate there. We have a big religious discussion going on everyday - Christianity
'and Rastafarianism, So many of the boys velieve that Emperor

Haile Solassai of Ethiopia is a god, that they worship him. Anyway the discussions are healthy and they are.carried on in a
friendly manner. The Church is also growing spiritually. There have been no

additions since the beginning of the year, but we have many visitors
each Lord's Day. We had a Faith-Promise for camp. Our goal was $200.00 We raised $192,00! And many of our members were absent, so we should exceed our goal of $200,00, Please remember the work here as you petition our . God through your daily prayers. And may He bless each of you real good!
NOTE FROM EDITH:

I will, Lord willing, soon be leaving on a one week mission tour which will take me through Jamaica, Haiti, and Puerto Rico, I will be visiting the work in Montego Bay and with Llojad and Pat
for about 2 days. While there, hopefully, I can get some new

slides of the Community Services Center and the new Church property
which we are in the process of buying.

We need to launch out with great faith and boldness in this

effort. God works through us, and often, we harness His Holy Spirit through our weak faith, our selfishness, or our laziness to put forth

the necessary effort,- ^

Let us band together for His glory that all Jamaica will know that God is mighty and powerful and that great things can be accomplished through Him! You may not be able to "GO", but God has siorely blessed you so that you can assist in making an anchor for Christ in Montego Bay by means of purchasing a permanent site
for His Church to meet. What a tribute to Jesus and to Christianity

that Jamaicans could say, they don't even krtow us, or even live ihere and yet they care evough to see that we hear about Jesus. HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD? Do you really believe God can do it? August is the deadline and our Land Fund Balance stands at $265,00.

OCTOBER 30, 197-^

Dear Christian Friends and Co-Laborers, I am sorry to have to write this letter and tell you that Pat Morris died October 25, with terminal cancer. Her funeral was held this past Tuesday, October 29. I am sure this will come as a shock to many of you even though to some of us it was not a sudden thing, Pat had been suffering for about a year but had asked that I not mention this in
the newsletters. Since this was her wish, I did not.

Lloyd and the children; Mary Beth and Kay, especially need your continued prayers, your interest, and your financial support at this time. The Lord's work must go on as usual and those of us who have lost loved ones know the special strength, (both physical and spiritual) one needs to see him through the coming days and months ahead. Our Lord will provide this and all other blessings if we ask Him in behalf of Lloyd and the girls and the Lord's work in
Montego Bay,

I would like to suggest that any of you who would wish to show your concern to the family, do so in the form of a memorial gift to the Church Land Fund, I'm sure Pat would have approved as this is such a matter of great need and importance in Montego Bay. Also, in this way, her death can be a tool to further God's Kingdom here
on earth.

I know Lloyd will appreciate your cards and notes but please do not expect individual replies as I'm sure his days are so full of extra duties already that there will ]3e no extra time for
c orrespondence,

In one of his latest letters he was getting up at 4t30 A.M, to

catch up on his letter-writing. The Lord has blessed the work in this city in a great way and will continue to do so. Let us be mindful on a daily basis of our need to pray for the C^iristians there and especially the Morris family. It is so wonderful to know that you, our Christian family, care and are willing to share with us the burdens as well as the joys of this life here.

Praising our Jesus!

f,

Edith

Greetings in the name of Christ! Thank you so very much for your letters of comfortj it was so nice of you to write and
I appreciated i t so much, Pat*s funeral was a Christian affair.

Death is victory for the Christian so we praised the Lord.

has been good to us and I can be thankful, Vi'e had over 6OO

He

friends in attendance. Instead of flowers, a memorial ',ift was taken at the door of the church. This went to the Cancer Society and the Cornwall Regional Hospital which deals with learning
disabilities in children. Over $50000 Jamaican dollars were given. A member of the i ontep^o 3iay community described Fat thus* "She was always ready to p;ive a hand. She was willinp;,

hardworkin,^ and had a deep interest in people. She was jovial, concerned and had an outstandinfi spirit which took everything in its stride, She was an excellent orr^anizer and was so active,
one wonders when she had time to rest,"

As a Minister's wife, Pat lived for the Church.

She was

pianist and Sunday School teacher in the iNontego Bay

C hurch of

Christ and was involved in all areas of the Churches of Christ in

Jamaica as Camp l\urse and teacher as well as Seminar leader. Before her illness she was workin/^: on literature to be used in
Vacation Bible Schools in the Churches of Christ, Pat was an

accomplished secretary, de^signer, cook, mother and wife/ There is no doubi that she was an outstanding exampleto all young women#
In departing she has left a legacy. Her strength of character,
strong convictions, courage, willingness, are but a few of these.

The children and I will be in lemidji, i.inn., from Decemberl5

to the first week in January '75 I am spending. Christmas with the Hoffer's and then I would like to visit and speak to a few of our supporting churches. Churches that are interested, please w itd directly to me so I can arrange a schedule. We have so many blessings to be thankful for and you our

Christian family are a very special one for which we give our i Lord thanks! May He continue to bless you real good? ' - "T'
