Dear Reader

We are thankful to bring you this second issue by the Lord’s help, and pray that you will be blessed by its contents. You will notice that we have added another four pages called “Steps Higher,” which we hope will be profitable to our older readers. Our desire is that through it all the Lord might be glorified and be able to work without hindrance.

For any of you who may be new to the paper, Treasures of the Kingdom is designed for boys and girls ages five to ten. Our goal is to bring the high standard of truth to the young by printing material that builds godly character, spiritual direction, and gives practical instruction.

We are a Bible-believing family that belongs to the church God built in the New Testament. Our family includes Rick and Krista Erickson and their five children: Laura (18), Skye (17), Joel (17), Kara (14), and Amanda (6). We live on a small acreage, and are home educated. The publishing of Treasures of the Kingdom is mainly done by Laura and Joel, with help from others, including contributions from our friends, the Spinks family, and guidance by our parents.

We have been encouraged in the Lord by your notes, and do thank you for them. We would appreciate your prayers as we continue laboring for Him in this field. The Lord has been so good to us—in Him we do trust (2 Corinthians 9:8).

In His service,
The Editors
