New Church In Modesto, California
Faithful brethren in Modesto, California, have realized the need for a sound congregation there for a long time. For the past few years these brethren have been driving about 15 miles to worship in another town.
During the week of May 12 it was my pleasure to work with these members of the church in an effort to establish the Lord's church in Modesto. During that week I preached publicly and from house to house to those who demonstrated a love for the truth. This congregation begins with 20 members and an average attendance in the neighborhood of 40.
L. L. Freeman (my father) will work with this congregation in proclaiming the word of God in that area. His financial support will come in part from the faithful congregation in San Pablo, California. Modesto is a growing city with a population in excess of 40,000. With other members of the church planning on moving to that area, this congregation should soon grow in numbers and spiritual ability.
Modesto is on much traveled Highway 99. Those passing through on trips will find a cordial welcome and an opportunity to worship with Christians interested only in doing the will of the Lord. The Burbank Paradise Hall has been secured (rented) as a place to assemble. This hall is on Beverly Street next door to the fire station. For directions or any information needed call either LAmbert 4-1583 or LAmbert 4-4155.
My work in preaching the gospel for one week in Modesto was made possible by the church which meets at 931 South Birch in Santa Ana, California.

Beware Brethren
Church bums are on the prowl. Dorothy Paskell (a member of the church??) and husband (non-member) came through Cleburne, Texas, April 28, 1983, seeking a handout. They were supplied with the necessities of life for two days and the man was offered a job. When time came for him to go to work they packed their suitcase and went toward Phoenix, Arizona.(?)
The woman is exceptionally fat, Latin-American, and does most of the talking. She carries a bulletin from Lansing, Mich., showing an account of her baptism. Beware brethren!
