* LOI 1948-5: H.G. Mackay: 1948-4-6: "The Piedmont Easter Bible Conference was again a time of blessing to saved and unsaved. Held, as in past years, at the Forest Ave. Tabernacle, it proved to be three days of spiritual fellowship and feasting. The attendance was larger than ever before; a very hearty spirit prevailed throughout; and the ministry was of the very finest order. Bre. Walter Munro, Jas. F. Spink, Tom Westwood, Lawrence Chambers and Liddon Sheridan ministered the Word and preached the Gospel. Three professed to be saved. Bro. Spink is remaining in the district for a month ministering in a number of the assemblies."

** "Christ the Theme of Easter Conferences", ed. by J.W. Kennedy: ..."'He is Risen' was the unmistakable theme of the Greensboro (N.C.) Conference. Because we have and serve a risen Savior, who through the Holy Spirit, supplies ample power to live for Him, our lives should be godly, Christlike, and should accomplish things for Him. Three professed salvation through the preaching of the gospel..."
** "Finds Southern Assemblies Flourishing" by P. Daniel Loizeaux: "Being freed from the active management of the Bible Truth Depot in [[New York]], Mrs. Loizeaux and I decided to go South for the winter... we heard that the work in Greensboro, Winston-Salem and Siler City is also very encouraging. To God be all the praise."
* LOI 1949-7:
** H.G. Mackay: "I am preaching the gospel and having ministry meetings in four assemblies each week during this month, so it keeps me on the move. It is a wonderful pleasure and privilege to minister to the many hungry converts in Durham where the Lord has done remarkable things. The Sunday School alone has increased from about 300 to over 600 in a 12 month period; half of these are adults. Many have been wondrously saved and are hungry for the Word. Then I have a rather interesting class of colored preachers in Winston-Salem each Monday night and am giving them studies on the church. We would like to see colored assemblies raised up in the Piedmont and this may be the beginning. I baptized six recently in Greensboro and am also having ministry meetings in Raleigh."
** [[King's College in New York (The King's College)|The King's College]], Newcastle, Delaware: [[William Jelley III]]:
"At 10 a.m. each Lord's Day, members of the faculty and student body of this school who are from various assemblies meet to remember the Lord in one of the classrooms, one hour before the preaching service in the college chapel. Attendance varies from 10 to 33, depending on the number of students remaining on the campus. In fellowship are young people from assemblies in: St. Louis, MO; Philadelphia, Curley Hills, PA; Elizabeth, NJ; Staten Island, NY; Greensboro, NC and Florida. Some believers from the neighborhood also come. The meetings started at the beginning of the school year last September. A hearty welcome is extended to any of the Lord's people who are in the vicinity on the Lord's Day.
