===1940's===
====1945====
* June: Pvt. [[Walter James Parrish]] gave a report on the Lord's work on him while in the service, including testimony of giving his life to the Lord in 1928 in Matoaca, and being in fellowship there and at Petersburg thru 1944, and the assembly that he and other soldiers started at Camp Barkeley, [[Texas]] and Camp Crowder, [[Missouri]]. See his [[Walter James Parrish|bio]].
===1950's===
====1950====
* Aug: '''Robert Crawford, 1532 Fairfax Rd., Rosemont, [[Pennsylvania|PA]]''': "Tent meetings were started July 9 by brother Crawford in the Matoaca area of [[Virginia]]. God has worked there in the past, but there are some unsaved relatives of Christians int he assembly who have long been prayed for."
====1951====
** [[Hopewell Gospel Hall, VA]] (OB) +1936+
* May: '''Petersburg, Virginia''': "The assemblies in Petersburg and [[Matoaca Gospel Hall, VA|Matoaca]] have been greatly cheered as seven weeks of meetings held by our Brethren Dickson and Dewhurst were concluded on Lord's Day evening, April 1. A number of young men and their wives have been saved. Three who have been saved for some time have been received into fellowship. On Lord's Day evening nine were baptized, eight of them young men with their wives. Others have asked for fellowship. We all rejoice at seeing the Lord's hand among us once more."
====1953====
* March: '''Matoaca, Virginia''': "During February, gospel meetings were held nightly at the [[Matoaca Gospel Hall, VA|Gospel Hall]]. Evangelists Gordon N. Reager and Paul P. Plubell giving the messages. ===1960's=======1962====* Jan: '''G.E. Wilson Visits Assemblies in Virginia''': G.E. Wilson, Niagara Falls, [[Ontario]]: I have just returned home from visiting some of the assemblies in [[Virginia]] such as Richmond (Shurm Heights), Petersburg, Matoaca, Hopewell (Boston & Sunnyside), and Norfolk. These saints need our prayers and practical help by visitation and ministry. There is a great need for some deeply exercised brother to live in this area and give full time to gospel effort and edification of the assemblies. I expect to visit Collingwood and Manitoulin Island, [[Ontario]], this month." * May: '''Saints Revived and Blessed as McClurkin and Reager Ministered''' by W.E. Dancy, corr. @ Petersburg: "The Lord has again given us a season of reviving and blessing in the Gospel campaign just closed with Messrs. Robert McClurkin and Gordon Reager. Meetings were held in Petersburg and [[Matoaca Gospel Hall, VA|Matoaca]], Virginia, and both assemblies united heartily in the effort. Some who had been attending the regular meetings were led to Christ and it was a great encouragement to see a number of unsaved attending, some for the first time. The hearts of the saints were warmed and revived as they sat under the stirring and simple Gospel messages. Only the Lord can fully estimate the results of such an effort. It does much to strengthen the testimony and bind the saints closer together. We praise God for the spirit of unity existing between the assemblies in this area." * Oct: '''Arthur Dewhurst''' North Reading, [[Massachusetts|Mass.]]: "While visiting in Gibsonville, [[North Carolina|N.C.]] for a conference, we were able to visit some isolated saints. The change from our summer's activities at Fairs was refreshing as we fellowshipped with the saints. We ministered at Matoaca, Virginia and brought the gospel message to the Sunday School picnic group and ministered on the Lord's Day at Richmond, Virginia. Invitations to remain in the south were tempting, but our Fair work in [[New Hampshire]] will keep us occupied through October 12. Through this witness for the Lord we are able to reach cattlemen, horsemen, show people, and the general run of pleasure seekers who spend their time and energy running after that which satisfieth not here below and ruins them for eternity." * Nov: '''Ray Zander''', Boca Raton, [[Florida]]: "I am in Richmond, [[Virginia]], doing extensive visiting rather than having nightly meetings. I have been in Matoaca and hope to visit in the Petersburg area and in [[Bethel Gospel Chapel, Newport News, VA|Newport News]]. The Lord has given precious souls through this personal work as well as gather souls unto Himself in accordance with His Word. The prayers of the Lord's people shall be deeply appreciated as one realizes more and more that salvation is of the Lord and He giveth the increase." ====1964====* Feb: News Bits: '''William Brown''' of West Hollywood, [[Florida|Fla.]] expected to conduct special meetings, beginning January 12, in Lantana, Fla., Savannah, [[Georgia|Ga.]], Charleston, [[South Carolina|S.C.]], and possibly Matoaca, Va."
