THIS WEEK'S COLPORTAGE REPORT.  1. Last week's Monthly Colportage went well.  Dr. Spence and his Family went 206 miles distributing 115 Printed Sermons in 10 Care Facilities & two Apartment Buildings located in Pittsburgh and Kittanning.  2. 1 Printed Sermon was mailed to an individual in Illinois.  3. 38 Printed Sermons were distributed in two Care Facilities located in McKeesport.  4.

Is there anyone who could use the King James Version Book of Psalms in Braille?  If you or someone you know could use these Psalms, please contact us.  The Book and postage are free.  

IN THIS WORLD, there often arises temporary situations and unique circumstances.  People necessarily leave their Homes and move into Care Facilities.  Others are confined to their Homes.  For more than twenty-two years, Dr. Spence has served as a Personal, Domestic, and Care Facility Chaplain meeting the spiritual needs of many of these people.  James 1.27 says: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."  If you have questions or comments, or if you are interested in Dr. Spence's services, please contact us. Dr. Spence seeks to answer calls here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. However, he tries to go wherever he is requested.
