Cooperation brings water
flowing to Macedonian villageDALLAS–A small village in northeastern Macedonia has water flowing again thanks to a collaborative effort between the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Partnership for the Environment.
Earlier this year, CBF missions workers Darrell and Kathy Smith worked with Terri Morgan of the Texas-based Partnership for the Environment to complete a project that restored the supply of fresh water to the village of Turija, 20 miles west of the Bulgarian border. More than 30 years ago, artesian springs supplied fresh water to the community, but when the lines deteriorated and the distribution equipment failed, the village was left without drinking water.
Volunteers from Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Texas-based Partnership for the Environment helped bring water to a Macedonian village whose springs had dried up. “The need for potable water in communities across Eastern Europe is severe,” said Morgan, president of the environmental ministry and a former staff member with the Texas Baptist Christian Life Commission. Morgan left the CLC to form the independent environmental ministry.

TEXAS BAPTIST FORUM:
God's chosen peopleI have read with interest your editorial regarding the Middle East peace process and your remarks about Christians getting in the way of the peace process (June 2).
As a completed Jew, I take great exception as to your characterization that perhaps the Jews are not God's chosen people. As one who believes the Bible is inerrant, the fact that God's word states the Jews are his chosen people is enough to satisfy me.
E-mail the editor at marvknox@baptiststandard.com The bloodshed is not caused by the Jews, rather the Arabs. Their whole bent has and always will be to see to the final and ultimate destruction of Israel and the Jews. We have heard this from many Arab leaders, including Yasser Arafat. You are naive if you believe that any so-called peace will eliminate or even reduce the bloodshed we are seeing. Incidentally, can you name a single instance whereby we have seen “terrorist” attacks on the Arabs by the Jews?
