** The Believers Magazine (BM) 1921-1: "W.J. McClure has been preaching in San Antonio, Tex., went on to El Paso, Tex., Phoenix, Ariz., and reached Oakland, Cal., for Conference there. A good report of this Conference is just to hand. It was the largest yet held, and a channel of blessing to many of God's people."** BM 1925-1: "Kansas City, Mo.: C.W. Ross was here, and returned from Texas suffering from quinsy, which developed painfully at Houston Conference. W.J. McClure gave help in preaching, then went on to San Antonio, Texas, and El Paso, en route to California. These long journeys are taxing to physical strength, but there are long distances between places, and the Lord's people value and appreciate such visits of laborers sent from God, with His message in freshness, to uplift and help."** BM 1926-6: "El Paso, Tex.: "Meetings held by Sam C. Keller were fruitful in conversion, and believers are exercised unto obedience to God's Word. There is as yet no Assembly gathered to the Lord's Name here." '''(?)'''** Our Record (OR) 1926-12: Pomona, Cal.: "James Erskine (501 W. Lemon St., Monrovia, [[California|Cal.]]) and Samuel Greer of Redlands, Cal., had some weeks meetings here and hope to continue as God may guide. Mr. [[John Monypenny]], who has visited San Antonio and El Paso, Tex., also Phoenix, Ariz., is expected here for a week, ere passing on to visit other assemblies in [[California]] and going north and east."
** BM 1927-3: "Sam C. Keller has been at El Paso, Tex., since the middle of November, with much to encourage."
** BM 1927-6: "Vancouver: After three months' meetings in El Paso, Sam C. Keller is now having meetings here."

** Believers Magazine (BM) 1931-11: "Blessing continues in the home of Dr. and Mrs. King at El Paso, Texas where meetings are held. S. Greer and J. Rankin had meetings lately. An assembly has now been formed. Mr. Greer continued with meetings. Some have been saved and ten have been baptized."** BM 1934-11: "The Conference over Labour Day at Los Angeles was well attended. Heart searching ministry by John Watt and James F. Spink. J.F. Spink had meetings later at El Paso, Dallas and Houston, Texas."** LoI 1935-5: William M. Allingham, Dallas, Texas: "Have been working in El Paso together with Brother Sam Greer. We saw some fruit for the Lord there, and had the pleasure of seeing the two small assemblies there coming together to remember the Lord and seeking to go on in fellowship together. After being nine weeks in El Paso we went to Harper, Texas and had a few good meetings in an unused church building. We visited practically every home with tracts. We met quite a few people clearly saved and we read God's Word with them and sought to help them on in the ways which be in Christ. Please pray for us."
** LoI 1940-2: T.C. Bush, Waxahachie, Texas: Dec. 13, 1939: "Since the Houston conference I have had two weeks at El Paso, Texas. Of late there has been blessing. A few moving there and others being saved and added to the meeting, so they are encouraged."
** Light & Liberty (L&L) 1959-10: John A.W. Halliday, 5936 Jamez Dr., El Paso, TX: "Plan to return to resume my work in El Paso about October first, after spending summer months in the east, speaking and giving help in Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis."
** LoI 1947-5: "...The Lord willing, we expect to spend the next six weeks among the gatherings of Texas and [[Colorado]]. Dates have been arranged for meetings in El Paso, Houston, Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas; and in Colorado Springs, Colo. We would greatly value prayer that these meetings may be owned of the Lord and fruit for eternity's result from them. The time is surely short and how vain are our most earnest efforts apart from the unhindered ministry of the Holy Spirit."*** "El Paso, Texas: Grace Chapel: "The Christians of Grace Chapel see the hand of God in blessing in their midst. Each Lord's day, instead of having an empty chapel, it is now well filled and several have been added to their number. They feel the need of enlarging their chapel in order to accommodate the attendance, and more room is needed for the increased Sunday School numbers. They have three weekly radio programs connected with the work, conducted by brother Nelson. "Chapel Echoes" is broadcast every Sunday morning at 7:30, "Chapel Meditations" every Monday noon, and the "Gospel Round Table" every Friday evening at 6:00. The Lord has answered their prayers for revived interest among them and they are duly thankful." (R.G. Murphy)** L&L 1960-2: John A.W. Halliday, El Paso, TX: "Two requests have been received for Emmaus Bible courses from young Mexicans who live just across the border from El Paso. One young lad stayed behind and gave assurance of receiving Christ as Savior. At a recent children's meeting on the south side in the Mexican section over sixty crowded into a small room. They listened attentively to the flannelgraph lesson after which we distributed fruit, candy and used clothing, and groceries for the old Senora in whose house the meeting was held. We give God the glory and ask your prayers for blessing."** L&L 1963-2: John A.W. Halliday, 3907 E. Paseo Grace, Tucson, AZ: "Locally there seems much to do in visitation and a nice number of people attend the chapel. Not long ago I was back in El Paso for a funeral. It is encouraging to see how the believers, though few in number, go on under God. Recently gave help at a Young People's conference near Flagstaff and was much encouraged for the interest shown."
