Voices only: Book, chapter and verse a cappella
John P. Kee's "Harvest" is a soulful gospel song that actually includes a book-chapter-
verse reference in the lyrics, ("tread that Hebrews 11 and 1, the kind of faith to know my
blessing will come.") If you've never heard the song, we recommend the high-energy
version from ViZion Ministriez. You'll find it in our weekly Voices only feature at
christianchronicle.org. While you're there, check our online extras, and sign up for our

As the year ends, we count
our blessings and say thanks
w
to raise $5,000 online through
our #GivingTuesday appeal.
This year, for the first
time, we enlisted the help
of a Facebook fundraiser —
combining donations given
through the social media
platform with donations made
through our website.
Thanks to your generosity
we exceeded our goal. What
was really exciting for us was
the number of donors who contrib-
uted this year. More than 100 people
gave online — far exceeding our
total number of donors from 2017.
We’re so appreciative for every one
of you who took the time to be a
part of this campaign.
There are a lot of good causes you
can support (we report on many of
them), and we know that — espe-
cially at this time of year — a lot of
organizations ask for contributions.
That’s why we’re so thankful for
those of you who believe in and sup-
port The Christian Chronicle.
While we are overjoyed at the
success of our Giving Tuesday
campaign, this fundraiser actually
makes up a very small portion of
what it takes to keep the
Chronicle going each year
— covering stories, printing
and delivering the news,
and keeping you updated
online.
If you were unable to con-
tribute on Giving Tuesday,
there’s still plenty of time to
contribute to this good work.
We hope you will consider
making an end-of-year, tax-
deductible gift — online, by phone
or by mail — to help us as we move
ahead, into 2019.
We praise God for allowing us to
make it this far and pray that we will
be able to continue this work for
many more years. We consider it a
privilege that you allow us a place
to tell the good news of Christians
around the world.
Please also pray for the work
of the Chronicle and for our staff
throughout the next year.

J-
Do you
enjoy one
section the
most?
I start out
on the first
page. There are
usually three ar-
ticles, and I read
them first. I fol-
low them back
into the Chronicle
because they’re
continued in the
center. I think
they mean the
most to me be-
cause it’s really news of interest.
I read the Chronicle pretty well all
the way through.

Why do you
support The Christian
Chronicle'?
Jesus told his apostles
to go and preach the
Gospel to the lost sheep
of the world. That has
been my goal in life, to
spread the Gospel as best
as I can. I’m not very
good at trying to convert
people personally, but since The
Christian Chronicle causes people
to think, I pass it on to others
interested in reading it.
I iving to age 93 has only
strengthened Jacqueline
“Jackie” Morue’s
faith in Christ.
The Oklahoma native
grew up in the Method-
ist church but started
attending Churches of
Christ after marrying
her high school boy-
friend, Don, who was a
member of a Church of
Christ in Maud, Okla.
Morue’s father-in-law
gave her a pamphlet on ™
baptism and encouraged
her to study the Bible about salva-
tion through baptism. After reading
Acts 2:38, “I knew I was lost until
I was baptized for the remission of
my sins,” she
said.
That night,
a Wednesday,
19-year-old
Morue was
baptized.
Eventually,
Morue and
her husband
moved to
Abilene,
Texas, where
they lived for
45 years. In
2005, after
her husband
passed away,
Morue moved to Arizona to be
closer to her son, who is an elder
at the Canyon Church of Christ in
