They just recently had a baby girl,I probllay showed a pic of Her in recent entrys,this letter is a new one,but the pic is not a recent one with the baby in it.But its fairly recent.Just wnated you all to see my family.Thanks and have a nice day.

 

Dear Friends,

Our family would first like to thank you for the gifts and cards sent over the Christmas holiday. They were greatly appreciated and we do not count lightly the sacrifice made. Special thanks to our home church, Woodlawn Baptist Church in Bowie, Maryland for the special love offering taken for the needed repair to our van.

During Christmas our church was able to distribute 5,000 Gospel tracts explaining the true meaning of Christmas. Our young people also had the opportunity of participating in the annual late night shopping event in Market Harborough. This event brings many hundreds of people into the town centre and then the kids sang and played bells. Afterwards they went about handing out Gospel tracts. The blessing is that no one would refuse a tract from one of the kids.

In the last letter I asked you to pray for Vicki. She is the lady that was saved over the summer by reading her Bible. She began to email the church from a tract she received. After a few weeks me and a young man from our church was able to visit with her. She has attended church for 3 weeks now and her husband came with her this past week. His name is Steve and he is very open and pleased that his wife has begun to attend church. Vicky has started working through a discipleship course from the church. She is so hungry for God’s Word that I give her several lessons at a time and then by the next Sunday she is ready for more. Please continue to pray that she will grow and that her husband will accept Christ.

Several months ago Marcia and Reta, our missionary helpers, was distributing our church news letter through the doors. Bill, who had received our opening service invitation 2 years ago, decided after he got the news letter, to visit our church. Bill has been coming faithfully ever since. I asked him if he were a Christian, he said, “I used to think I was but I do not have what the people in this church have. No, I am not a Christian.” He is very open and over the past couple weeks you can see that the messages have been speaking to him. Please pray that he would be saved.

I asked you to pray for David who had been coming to our church. He has decided that coming to church brings too much conviction in his life. There are a few things that he is not willing to call sin and thinks God should overlook those things. He lives in the same village as one of our families and they are keeping in touch with him and being a fervent witness.

Due to some recent changes in the visa law in England, we are going to be leaving for furlough sooner than expected. We will be in the states beginning in April and staying for one year. Please pray 1) that we will be able to raise the extra needed support due to changes in the strength of the dollar, increased living costs in the UK, and changes in our support level, 2) for our church to continue to grow and that the new Christians will continue to be discipled and that new folks will come to church.

I am always reminded of Galatians 6:9, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” May the Lord continue to richly bless you in all your labour for Him.

Martin Luther King, Jr. December 1964

About the Memorial

Dr. King's Spiritual Presence                                                         

Dr. Martin Luther King is remembered as a great orator whose impact on the nation came from the eloquence and inspirational quality of his words. His speeches, sermons and public addresses melded themes of democracy deeply embedded in the American conscience, and reinvigorated these messages with clear and insightful reflections on the true meaning of justice and equality.

The Jefferson Memorial as seen from the Stone of Hope.

Within the memorial, quotes from Dr. King's sermons and speeches, arranged chronologically according to his life, are to be inscribed at a large scale on the glistening smooth surfaces of the water wall. These passages will be reinforced through the referential use of water, stone and light as metaphorical elements that heighten an awareness of his message.

All of the senses will be engaged through the experience of the memorial, and, foremost, through the visual perception of space, using contrast and juxtaposition, scale and height and the bold display of carefully selected words expressing his spirit. The inspirational text and the mood created by the sound of the water, its cooling mists, and the visual complexity of its varied states together with the contrasting rough and smooth surfaces of stone, the abrupt and gradual changes in grade and the patterns of light and darkness will dramatically underscore the visual sense of the man and the qualities of courage, conviction and leadership that characterize his life and work.

Added to these powerful sensory experiences will be a sculptural representation of Dr. King himself. This is not conceived of as a pure figurative depiction of hisphysical being, separate and apart from other elements, but rather would give another dimension and layer of meaning to the experience of the memorial as a whole. Dr. King will appear as an integral part of the "Stone of Hope", as if he embodies the stone itself. He will be positioned on the side of the stone facing the Jefferson Memorial and will be gradually revealed as part of the procession towards the Tidal Basin.

"There are two types of laws: there are just laws and there are unjust laws...What is the difference between the two?...An unjust law is a man-made code that is out of harmony with the moral law...Paul Tillich has said that sin is separation. Isn't segregation an existential expression of man's tragic separtion, an expression of his awful estrangement, his terrible sinfulness?"

– Martin Luther King, Jr., 1963

At first, as one enters the main space, the stone will appear as a solid monumental mass, somehow cleft from the stones flanking the portal entry, but pushed forward so as to be visually juxtaposed with the Jefferson Memorial.

As one gets closer to the monolith, its rough hewn edges toward the memorial will begin to take on a vaguely familiar contour, recognizable, but not entirely clear.

Finally, as one looks back to the water wall and main space from the stone, the image of Dr. King will be fully revealed. He will be seen looking across the Tidal Basin to the Jefferson Memorial and pointing with a pencil back to his words in "The Promissory Note" as if, having just written these words, he is now standing vigil and awaiting delivery of the note. The indirect view of King and the incompleteness of his form will make his spiritual presence more powerful. This representation will stir the emotions, transcend the physical and symbolic and directly engage the imagination of the viewer.

World peace through nonviolent means is neither absurd nor unattainable. All other methods have failed. Thus we must begin anew. Nonviolence is a good starting point. Those of us who believe in this method can be voices of reason, sanity, and understanding amid the voices of violence, hatred, and emotion. We can very well set a mood of peace out of which a system of peace can be built.

– Martin Luther King, Jr. December 1964

The entire memorial invokesthe memory and spiritual presence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through the visual experience of place, reinforced by the full range of sensory perception, the metaphorical use of water, stone and other landscape elements, the powerful display of passages from his sermons and speeches and the appearance of his physical image in the "Stone of Hope".
