(2) Evangelical Visitor NATIONAL "Week of Evangelism" for A Brethren in Christ Churches as scheduled by the General Conference, will be observed during Holy Week, April 15-22. The two-fold purpose is the salvation of souls and to bring be- lievers into a life of full surrender to Christ. This is the third year a "Week of Charlie B. Byers Evangelism" is being observed. It comes as the outgrowth of a rather gen- eral concern, expressed by many of our pastors, a time when our entire brother- hood joins in an effort to reach the lost. Each year has seen an increase in the number of congregations participating in the program. I pray that this year there will be one hundred percent par- ticipation. This brings blessing both to pastor and people. No matter how large or small your congregation, join with The Third National Week of this crusade for souls. God does not overlook our effort in soul-winning, how- ever feeble it may appear. He is not limited to favorable circumstances. No Evangelism, April 15-22 congregation can afford to miss the blessing of spiritual growth and victory that accompanies a campaign for souls.
