Dear Brethren;

Greetings in the name of Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

After much prayer and persistence our family has finally made the move from Papua New Guinea to Tauranga, New Zealand.

One of the goals of this move was to not only continue the printing ministry which we helped begin in PNG but to expand it into the Oceania region of the South Pacific. This includes our ongoing program of writing commentaries in Pidgin English and other material for the brethren in Papua New Guinea.

To help in the expansion of this printing ministry I envision a monthly newsletter in which I would hope to incorporate several things all of which would be for the edification of brethren throughout the entire Oceania region. I would like to incorporate some of the following groupings: articles, Ladies page, survey of Bible books, question & answer, Bible Correspondence activities throughout the region, children's page, current & upcoming events in the region, puzzles etc.

To enable this concept to get off the ground I will need contributions from you not money but ideas and articles and such). I am not going to use the publication (newsletter) as a sounding board for any particular doctrine but envision it so as to be useful in reaching to the lost throughout the region as well as an edifying newsletter for brethren who are in isolated conditions throughout the region.

The mailing list will be made up of anyone who wishes to receive the newsletter and initially at no cost. Eventually it may cost a token amount for those who can assist.

We currently have reprinted an English Chorus book used here and added a few new songs. This book contains 239 songs and we can put your congregations name on the front of the cover. They cost approximately $2.00 each. We also have a wide range of English tracts in stock.

We are willing to help you in your printing needs but need you to contact us as to how we can help you with your needs. We prefer items needing to be printed sent to us "print-ready", that is ready to have a plate made and then run on the press. We do have the facilities to set-up headlines and even put the article into our word processor and set it up. Your cost would be what it cost us for supplies and a wee bit more for running it.

Please give this some thought and feel free to write and comment.

Your brother in Christ because of His sacrifice,
