UPDATE: A Word from Willie and Ozzie

What a joy and privilege it is to serve as North American missionaries. Because of the financial gifts from the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, it provides an opportunity for my wife and I to assist in the task of reaching lost souls with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for all that you do!
