LATEST NEWS FLASHES FOR BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB! 7/82 DFO 1208
106. NEW HELP FOR INDIA! 7 July '82
GBY! THIS IS TO INFORM YOU OF THE GRADUATION OF PAX (3 1/2), ELDEST CHILD OF PAUL & MORNINGSTAR KINGS, who recently went to be with the Lord in India after a short illness. From birth he had suffered a blood deficiency, which meant that certain drugs, foods or infections caused his red blood cells to be destroyed. He received the Lord at two & the Spirit at three, &, although always weak, he was full of faith, loved the Lord, the Word & litnessing!

AS PAUL & MORNINGSTAR WERE VISITING THE FIELD, PAX CAUGHT A SUDDEN FEVER & GOT VERY ILL. His parents rushed him to the hospital on the train, but enroute he steadily grew worse, & they had to' disembark before they had reached their final destination, & hurry to a nearby government hospital, where after a day of intensive care he went to be with the Lord on the 27th of May, 1982.

MORNINGSTAR WRITES THAT AS SHE WAS SITTING BY HIS BEDSIDE, "I was quoting verses & then I looked at him & said out loud, 'Pax, just what is the Lord telling you?' And clear as a bell into my head came the words from the song, 'He's sending a band of angels, coming to take me Home.' PTL! We believe he fought his fight & finished his course & now he is helping us in the Spirit." they continue in their letter:

"SOME OF THE VERSES THE LORD GAVE US ABOUT PAX were "He is not dead but liveth", "Many are the helpers of David" & "Precious in the sight of the lord is the death of His saints." Just before his going to be with the Lord, the Lord gave us a vision of him standing in an armoured suit &is sword lifted high overlooking India. So maybe he'll help us get out the Word as that is what the sword lifted high represents & also that is what he loved the most, litnessing."

"THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE DEFINITELY BROKE OUR HEARTS FOR THE POOR & HOW MUCH THEY NEED JESUS, how hopeless they are without Him & how much they need His Word. It is certainly impressed upon us what a serious & essential thing it is to win souls, & also how short the time is & to live each day as if it were our last for Him.

"THE LORD REALLY USED PAX TO HELP US HAVE REAL LOVE, PATIENCE, UNDERSTANDING & MERCY FOR HIS PRECIOUS SHEEP. The Lord really used Him to break us & cause a revolution in our lives. It seems the Lord used him to help us do more for the Lord & His Kingdom, as previously he had had a slight attack which caused us to really forsake all & live totally by faith again, getting out His precious seeds. PTL!

"ARRIVING BACK IN BOMBAY ON THE 29TH OF MAY, TIM & FAITH INFORMED US THAT WE HAD BEEN APPOINTED VS'S OF SOUTH INDIA. It was a real comfort to us that the Lord still loves us & wants to keep using us for His Glory. We are definitely not worthy, nor feel we can do such a serious & sobering job. We feel that maybe the Lord took Pax as He knew it would be too hard on his flesh to be on the road & would be much better helping us in the Spirit.

"STILL WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF POSSIBLE, & we would like to know if there is anything serious in our hearts that needs to be rooted out, as we feel that it is better we are no VS than a bad VS & be a stumbling block to the Lord's sheep. This is a very serious position & we feel if there is any unyielded part in us we would love to root it out now before it affects others. We love you all so much & the Lord's sheep--we don't want to disappoint you, nor the sheep, nor the Lord--we know it is all the Lord & that He is the only One who can do it--but we are definitely sinners & we do need continual cleansing. Maybe this is doing it.

"WE REALLY LOVE YOU SO MUCH & CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR GIVING US THIS CALLING. Lord help us not to fail but to be faithful in all. GBY! The Letters are strengthening us so much & give us grace! Thank God or the Family who have been a real strength & & comfort in this trying time. Much love & prayers in Jesus' name,
--Paul & Morningstar Kings"

It sounds to us from your letter that the Lord has already been faithful to show you the reasons for taking His little one back Home to be with Him: To break you heart & tender your & make you more merciful with others & help you comfort others with the comfort wherewith you are comforted (2Cor.1:4.), & give you a helper in the Spirit World who loves you & loves India, while at the same time freeing him from the burden of this life that was too much for him & also freeing your from the concern & burden of caring for him, to care for many others who need you more. "Blessed in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." You were good stewards over the Lord's precious little one & He can say, "Well done thou good & faithful servants, now I've got an even bigger job for you to do! You were faithful in the few, now I can trust you with the many!" It's not only Pax's graduation, it's yours--to a bigger & more important job than ever before. May God bless you & keep you in it, & make you a greater blessing than ever before! We love you & pray for you! In Jesus' name, amen. Love, Maria.)
