When Elisha Waited for God's Time to Act
The sermon reflects on Elisha’s patience as Jehu’s mission fulfilled the Elijah‑given plan after two decades. It emphasizes that God’s plans surpass any man’s life, cites Paul’s and Jesus’ teaching on labor and increase, and notes Jezebel’s wicked reign as a trial before God’s justice. Persecution and famine test faith, yet providence confirms at last.

Safoon Town Reformed by YMCA Initiative
Ten years ago a railroad president warned of a hard task on the road. The YMCA funded by $4,500 with citizens adding $2,500 created a welfare center that drew crowds away from saloons. Saloon revenue plummeted from over $3,000 to $700 monthly, and a top corner establishment closed. An Episcopal church now stands at that site, while a brakeman returning after two years found former peers in the YMCA.
