They are former pioneer youth camps used to indoctrinate children into Communism. Imagine a place where God and His Word were prohibited. Now, these camps are open to us and God’s message of love is being taught to the kids and camp staff. It truly is an opportunity that only God could provide. In addition to teaching the Bible, the teams will be giving more than 10,000 Bibles and pieces of Biblical Literature to the children and staff to take home and share with their families. The Bible.

    D. Ellis Walker. “Every Good Work,” Gainesville, 1961 ACU Center for Restoration Studies Vertical File Introduction and Commentary by Christopher R. Hutson (2015) Introduction Physical Description: Measurement: 5 ½ x 8 ½ inches (14 x 21.6 cm). This is a tract of 24 pages (p. 24 is blank), printed on glossy paper with a cardstock cover and bound with two staples in the spine. It was published by the author and printed by Pepper Printing Company of Gainesville, Florida. The copy in the ACU library is in good condition. Summary of Contents: Walker purports to explain the phrase “every good work” as it appears in 2 Cor 9:8; Col 1:10; 2 Thess [1:11] 2:16-17; 1 Tim 5:10; 2 Tim 2:21; Titus 3:1; [Heb 3:20-21]. The question was whether admonitions to do “every good work” apply to Christians as individuals or to congregations acting collectively. The argument is divided into sections as follows: Verbal Inspiration 1 Who Is to Do “Every Good Work”? 2-3 What is the Meaning of “Good” (Agathos)? 3-7 Are Kalos and Agathos Absolutely Identical? 7-15 Objections Answered 15-19 The School and Orphan Home Questions, 19-21 How Shall We Know “Every Good Work”? 21 Summing Up 21-23 This “Introduction & Commentary” by Christopher R.

His oldest brother Percy M. Walker (1900-1979)1 was a high school math teacher and principal in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he also served as an elder of the First Christian Church.
