Preston family

LOI 1982-10: Harold Preston, Lexington, KY: July 28, 1982: "For the last fourteen years Vena and I have been much burdened about fact that there is only one assembly testimony (Louisville) in the state of Kentucky, and have been praying that the Lord would raise up an assembly in central Kentucky. Last fall, in response to an announcement in Interest by Paul Krokenberger, four families got together in Lexington for Bible study and soon began breaking bread on Sunday evenings.

It seemed to us that the Lord had opened a door and that we should move to Lexington and devote full-time to the Lord's work. We are grateful to the South Houston and Manvel, Texas, assemblies who share this view and are commending us to full-time work in central Kentucky. We moved from Houston to Lexington about a month ago and are now getting settled in our new location. At present we are meeting in George Cowan's home for worship and have opened our home for weekly Bible studies. May we encourage much prayer for this new work as we begin an outreach through personal contact and home Bible study groups. If any interested readers, or someone you know in the area, would like to get in touch with us, please write or phone."
