We appreciate your prayers for his wife, Betty, and the Ng family whom he loved as his own.
Back in 1998, following his retirement, Gordon taught himself HTML, reserved a domain, and created 'My Brethren' to reach out to those leaving the 'system' with which he was once identified.
It was his deepest hope that 'My Brethren' continue online as a public resource after his departure.
And it is our hope that our visitors will be edified by Gordon's legacy.

More Good News re Daniel Soukoreff:
Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Daniel writes:
As far as my health the doctor had me jump on the treadmill for a stress test just to see how good a sewing job they did on my bypass operation. I was not so keen about doing it but then I thought better at the hospital than hiking on some mountain side. So he wanted 9 minutes and a heart rate up to 140 bpm – I finished at 12 minutes and a heart rate of 180 bpm with no chest pain. So he was very pleased and so was I.

Your brother in Christ, Daniel.
Dear Daniel,
How good to hear from you personally again! We rejoice with you in the God's goodness and faithfulness in raising you up to health and strength for your family, your business needs, and especially for your place in the testimony of our Lord.

Good News re Daniel Soukoreff: Sunday, February 11, Susan Soukoreff writes:
Dear Friends and Family,
It is with great joy that I report that dear Dan is back in the bosom of his family. It was an emotional homecoming for him because, as he said, it so easily could have turned out otherwise.
It is quite amazing that he should be up and walking and home again so soon after a quintuple (5) bypass. How thankful we are for the skill and care of the surgical and nursing team.
Once again, many thanks to everyone for all your love, concern and prayers.It meant so much to Daniel, Kerstin and the children as well as myself.
Tuesday, February 6, Susan Soukoreff writes:
Hello Everyone,
I am happy to report that Dan's surgery is over. The surgeon is very pleased and said Dan's heart is working well (they did an ultrasound while he was still on the operating table) and there is little sign of any damage from his previous heart attack.

PRAYER REQUEST and ANSWER: The following was received from MB's friend and frequent correspondent Daniel Soukoreff:
Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 10:46 AM
Subject: Hope Gasston
I think that most of you know Phil and Ruth Gasston from New Zealand. We received word late Saturday night that their 10-year old daughter was hit in the right eye by stone thrown up by a lawn mower.
In addition to prayer for Hope and her parents and family, would you please pray that the infection may be stopped and that the pain subsides.
Hi Gordon, I received the following update from —— on Hope.
Yours in Christ, Daniel.
Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 12:55 PM
Subject: Update on Hope Gasston
I spoke with Ruth Gasston last night and inquired about Hope. She said that she is home and in good spirits.
Subject: Further Update on Hope Gasston
Hi — and —,
Thanks for the email and the phone call. We have experienced the Lord's blessing over the last couple of weeks in a wonderful way really.
Trust you are all well. Love in Christ, Phil Gasston.
Note: See also email from Phil in the Mailbox.
Subject: Further Update on Hope Gasston
Wed, 25 Oct 2006
Hi Gordon,
Just to let you know that Hope is now out of hospital and doing well. She will not see out of the eye but they have decided that they do not need to remove it at least not yet. They hope it will heal up well enough not to remove and that it will not adversely effect the other eye. She has to wear a cover over it until healing is complete.
Thanks for your email, and love to all, Esli.

Doctrine: The Lord's Table, Lord's Supper and Service of God: This new page has articles by J. N. Darby, F. E. Raven, C. A. Coates and J. Taylor.
