ITINERANT TEACHERS. He knew what was right; he had learned lessons from the past He knew what was wrong; that evil and good mixed cannot last. He knew the value of the Word of God; the commandments that establish a kingdom. He knew all the people would not know God’s truth, unless someone would teach them.
He was established in the truth and had gone all the way back to the beginning, To set the course of his leadership so that there would be no mistaking The Lord was in control; it was God he was committed to serve each day – And he believed this so deeply, his heart was lifted up to follow God’s way.

Itinerant teachers are needed who have a heart for God’s people, and love To see them going on faithfully for God, and His teachings they’ll prove By their conduct of life that is a reflection of God – They have learned from these teachers that brought them His Word.
“There is a lack, O God, of teaching among the assemblies in Newfoundland and Labrador – particularly in the outports. Please send good men to help them along in the ways of biblical truth. If I am to spend more time among them than I have been in the past, please open the way that I may attend to their spiritual needs. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
