Hello Bill:
It's been awhile since I have been in contact. Thought I would give you a yell and see how things are going. I lost your web page when my computer crashed and just thought of getting it again. Hope everything is well. Come over to Jefferson to see us sometime.
God Bless,

Dear brethren,
Thank you for your prayerful and financial support of children’s homes affiliated with churches of Christ for so many years.
Since 1965, Happy Haven has been a place that cares for children. Over the years, countless hundreds of children have been served and taught about Jesus through our ministry, with literally hundreds having been baptized. Our house parents are doing a super job in raising our children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4.) Our reason for existing is to lead these young people into a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The world is bringing us their children and saying we can teach them anything we want to and that will be all right. What a mission field we have at Happy Haven! Food, shelter, clothing, education, safety, medical and dental care can be provided by any home but at Happy Haven Home only Christian parents provide for the spiritual needs of these children every day. Jesus truly loves the little children of the world through our hands. In the “Bible belt” the field is “white unto harvest” through child care.
All our children attend the public school in Cookeville, Tennessee which is on a “year round” schedule which means they are out during the months of June and July for summer and these months really fly by with all the activities going on like camp, Vacation Bible School, and field trips both on and off campus. We keep our children really busy because we know, “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.” Your generosity encourages us to ask again to be involved in our ministry to children. There are still some who do not know that we are no longer under state contract and we no longer receive state funds. When we were receiving state funds we were able to save some which helps us to make ends meet now.
We are pleading for your help in two areas. First of all, we will be facing increased expenses during the school year. The list of needs is endless of school supplies, back packs, jeans, dresses, shirts, shoes, socks, under wear, etc. Every year our expenses rise dramatically. Secondly, we are striving to accept more and more non-custodial children through a “working agreement” with the Department of Children’s Services. Everyone agrees that it takes a lot of money to raise children. We currently have six children with more expected soon. Our girl’s home is full again. The last few months have been financially tough for us at Happy Haven. Some of the larger gifts that we receive from Churches of Christ and businesses have been smaller or non-existent. Some churches have been forced to drop some of their benevolent efforts which also affected us. As the number of children increases, the amount of money needed to help those decreases. Some don’t realize the when children come to Happy Haven their clothing is not adequate which needs to be taken care of immediately. We want our children clean descent like your children. We have more mouths to feed, clothe, house, educate, and care from an endless sea of neglect and abuse.
We need your help. Would you prayerfully consider a financial gift to Happy Haven? We need one-time gifts as well as monthly commitments. The work we are doing with children is greatly needed and commanded by our Savior. Would you help us help abused and neglected children become happy, loved children? They are depending on the Christian staff here to show them the loving heart of Jesus. If we don’t, no one else will.
If I could come to tell you about the Happy Haven story to your congregation or answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to call and setup an appointment. You are important to our children. We also have my presentation on DVD which we can mail to you if you prefer.
Brotherly,
Jim Blankenship

What a wonderful site. Thanks.
By the way, I am assisting a congregation in Colorado City, Texas. It is a great little congregation in the "Plainview Community" (not the town of Plainview). If you're traveling down I-20 in West Texas, stop by and worship with us.

Thank you for your good work. By the way, I’m starting a free web page for preachers, church secretaries, ministers and bulletin writers. My goal is to help them with bulletin articles, sermon starters, illustrations and sermonettes. Below are some articles you are welcome to use, free of charge. When I was preaching for the Cisco Church of Christ in Texas, I was always looking for such resources. Go to http://www.freewebs.com/freebulletinarticle/. |

I received your letter and the two cd's. Thank you for remembering me. I am very impressed with your website and the ability to hear Bill's lesson. You have done an excellent job. May the Lord continue to open the doors to teaching and the hearts open to receiving the written word of God. May you be blessed in all your efforts to teach the truth. The world is filled with people who are walking in darkness and without wisdom and the U.S. has more than ever. Thank you Lord for your work here....thank you Bill. |

Uncle Bill, hello and thank you for the CD'S. We are listening to the Feast Of Israel 1-5. This came to us right on time because Bobbie has close relatives trying to convert him to the Seventh Day Adventist. I am listening to it as I type this message. We think this is a wonderful project and we expect to receive other CD'S. Let us knopw if the church need money to get these messages out to the world. Love and peace be with the Crestview Church of Christ. Bobbie and Eva Oliver |

I love your web site and am sure it will bring contacts to your spiritual family there at Crestview. I have loaded it into my favorites so I can bring it up when I want to look at it. Super. Bill, Carol and I have not made it home to Ohio since leaving Marshall. We got detoured into Oklahoma to assist with a family medical problem with Carol's brother.We will leave tomorrow afternoon to proceed on to Ohio. My mail that arrives is secured by a friend of ours in the church. Our home congregation web site is

Hi Bill,
We wanted you to know personally how very much we appreciate the lessons you have taught during the time we have been visiting. When we travel to other towns we have used the churchzip.com website to locate churches in the area. When we looked at Marshall, there is a listing for Crestview that was last updated July 17, 2001. It linked us to your old email of crestview@mcc4U.com. Thought someone might want to update that information as well. This website looks great. We are so glad to know that it is available and that we will still be able to connect with you through the website and email when we travel. Continue to fulfill God's purpose in your life. In Him, Carl and Betty DeLong |

Bill, I have looked forward to having your sermons/lessons available on-line for such a long time. Now others are able to hear the Gospel taught the way it should be taught, and say "Wow! I want to hear more of that! I want to know more of the truth!" For Marshall, Texas and now for all people worldwide, the superficial "milk" of knowledge is no longer acceptable. The meat of the Word is on what we will feast, from now on. That is, unless there are people who are still afraid to grow up. |
