Dear Friends,

Between my work in Africa and my work in the States related to the church, I tend to be very busy; and when I am traveling to certain places there is no Internet access.  So, please forgive me if I am slow to respond to or don't respond at all to some email messages, especially those of an advertising nature. However, I try always to respond to requests for prayer and requests for help on a personal level. But I do not have time to participate in all the forums to which I get invitations, nor to be a member of all the businesses to which I get a request to join.

Hi Dave,

No explanation is needed.  There is no higher calling than to do the Lord's work.  You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless You,

Phil Black

Hi Rev. Dave,

It is good to hear from you. I understand about your being busy. My Uncle is a missionary and is constantly on the go. He is over in Nigeria for six weeks twice a year. I hope all is well with you.
