Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manager because there was no room for them in the inn.
Make room for him in your heart. |
LEADERSHIP IS BLESSED
By: Carolyn Aiken
In a time when leadership is being questioned with election 2000, we at COACB are blessed with stable, sincere, qualified leadership. Our president and founder, David R. Aiken has and is focused on doing what is best for our cause to spread the gospel and win souls.
As his spouse, I can tell you that his positions and decisions have not always been popular even with me. However, he has remained focused and straightforward. David uses prayer often and intelligence and persistence, which are God given traits. When you see him, wish him well for he many times does not think of his own welfare enough. Were behind you, David, and we love you.

GOING INTO ALL THE WORLD
The COACB has never been selfish with any technology that the Lord has blessed it with. It has shared that technology with other Christian groups assisting them in constructing studios and building stations. Now there is a group called Gospel to Nepal that wishes to use technology developed by the COACB to build a low cost television station in Katmandu, Nepal. What can best be called a clone of the Delaware, Ohio station is expected to be built as the first Christian station in that Hindu nation. A construction permit has already been issued for the station and it will broadcast on channel 15. Please pray for our fellow laborers in the Gospel.
SUPPORT A STATION
There are three plaques, one at TV-39, another at TV-56 and a third at TV-48. These list the names of those who have promised to support those stations. That pledge can be paid either as a lump sum, or by monthly payments. If you would like to be a member of the TV-56 club, the TV-48 club or the TV-39 club, contact Reta at 1-800-852-8199, and tell her the correct spelling of your name and which station you wish to support. The engraved plate will be added to the appropriate plaque in about two weeks.
