So the Churches went on gaining a stronger faith and growing in numbers from day to day.

I have sent him to you for the very purpose--that you may know about us and that he may encourage you.

I am convinced of this, and I know that I shall remain, and shall go on working side by side with you all, to promote your progress and joy in the faith;
