Philip Miller, literature evangelist for Cowlitz and Clark counties in Washington and member of the Hockinson Heights Adventist Church, recently received a trophy in recognition of three years of outstanding service.
With the encouragement and volunteer assistance of area churches, Miller represented the Seventh-day Adventist Church at the Cowlitz and Clark county fairs.
Two years ago, Miller distributed 6,112 pieces of literature at the Cowlitz fair; last year, he more than doubled that figure, to 14,055. This year, at the same fair, he tripled his original figure and distributed 19,074 pieces of Christian literature.
Cecelia St. Clair, district director, pays tribute to Miller’s outstanding courage and urges all who are interested in learning more about literature evangelism in the Oregon Conference to contact her by phone at (503) 887-4437 or, toll free, at (800) 887-4437.
