=Ministry Reports=
===1947===
* LOI 1947-3: ** Joe Nieboer, Erie, PA: "Brother Nieboer is finding that the children's work offers most encouragement in Erie. In addition to the children's meeting in the hall, which is slowly growing in attendance, he has a meeting for children in their home once a week. He expects to start a third children's meeting in the auditorium of a Federal Housing project. This project is in a fast growing neighborhood with no fundamental church in the vicinity. In the early part of January, brother Nieboer was in St. Louis at the conference and spoke at the Kossuth Ave. Hall. He also visited Belleville, Ill."** St. Louis, MO: "The all-day meetings on Thanksgiving Day proved a time of spiritual refreshment. At the morning session several brethren took part in prayer and thankgsgiving, while brother O.G. (sic?) Magee was responsible for the ministry in the afternoon and evening meetings."** Kossuth Avenue, St. Louis, MO: "St. Louis conference was held on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in the Maplewood Chapel. All seemed to enjoy the Word and the fellowship was sweet. Those taking part were brethren Tom McCullagh, Cyril Brooks, P. McGee and Joe Nieboer."
* L&L 1947-4: Kansas City, Missouri (Kossuth Gospel Chapel): "Dr. Edgar Ainslie has been holding a series of meetings here during the month of February."
** typo is either in the location or the assembly.
* L&L 1947-9: George Rainey: "The Lord has given us profitable meetings in Maplewood and Kossuth Assemblies in St. Louis, Missouri. Then in Trenton, [[New Jersey]] and Brantford, Canada. I go on to Foxmead, Bancroft, Stirling and Belleville, Ontario. My brother Leslie Rainey gave help in Brantford and at present is in Foxmead with Ross our son giving help in the assembly there."
===1948===
* LOI 1948-1: St. Louis, MO: Kossuth Ave. Gospel Hall: "The yearly Thanksgiving Day meeting * L&L 1948-8: Joe Nieboehr, 1158 W. 29th St., Erie, PA: "Just got home from a trip to Southern Ill., and St. Louis. Had meetings in Sparta, Tilden and Belleville in Illinois and at Kossuth Ave., Maplewood, South Side and North End. Stopped in Cincinatti for a Lord's Day on the way home. The saints seemed to enjoy the Word. We are hoping to get started on our new building here in Erie soon. Meetings are going on well here."
==1950's==
===1952===
* LOI 1952-8: August Van Ryn, 834 S.W. 13th Ave., Miami, FL: "For about ten weeks I was away from Miami and was kept very busy all the time. I visited Yonkers, [[New York|N.Y.]] for a week, then came to Kenilworth, [[New Jersey|N.J.]] From there I came on to Cleveland, made a short trip to southern [[Ohio]] (St. Clairsville) and then went to St. Louis for two weeks meetings at Kossuth Hall. At Centerville, [[Iowa]] I had two weeks meetings and enjoyed the Des Moines conference which, in my judgment, was one of the best I ever attended. After this I went to Eddyville for four days, to Detroit for a week, and then to Pittsburgh for a week before returning to Miami."
===1959===
* Charles Gray and his wife visited the Kossuth assembly one week, discouraged from returning due to their interracial marriage. They later joined Emmaus Bible Chapel (a hive from Kossuth started in 1956) where they stayed for the remainder of their lives. This incident played a key role in a majority of folk leaving Kossuth in 1959 to restart their meeting in Hazelwood.
* L&L 1959-2: "Abe Hartsema, 694 Amity Ave., Muskegon, Mich., enjoyed a time with saints at Jacksonville, Fla., who presently are meeting in Y.W.C.A. but expect to build on property in a new area. During early January gave help at Palm Harbor, St. Petersburg, Tampa and Lakeland. On return to Michigan stopped enroute in Gallion, [[Alabama|Ala.]], Marble Hill (El Nathan), St. Louis (Kossuth & Emmaus) and Peoria, Ill."
