BROTHER ADID has something very special in his heart, because he met Jesus through a Scripture booklet from World Missionary Press.  "I was a drug addict. I used cocaine for 10 years, and then somebody talked to me about the Lord. I was not going to listen to him. I was in very bad condition. Then a young boy came and preached the word of God. He shared one of the booklets. I read it, and I was very glad to get to know the Lord."

Now Brother Adid shares the story of Jesus with everyone he meets by giving them a Scripture booklet. He says it is very simple: Just carry them with you all the time and share them with whomever you meet. He visits prisons and prisoners families. He visits hospital wards of patients with TB and AIDS. His only concern is that he will not have enough booklets for everyone each day. He wants more booklets!

This dear fellow laborer in Christ from Argentina is just one of an untold number of believers who look to WMP for resources to pursue what God has put on their hearts. They look to us, expectantly, for a continuing supply of booklets for fuel to keep their vison bright!

Brother Ricardo from Chile writes that it is incredible how doors have opened to the gospel in schools and universities. He wonders when he will receive the next shipment of booklets so that he can take advantage of this wide open door.

WMP will soon be sending shipments to waiting distributors in Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Argentina, El Salvador, Ecuador, Chile, Venezuela, Panama, and Bolivia. This large printing of Spanish material will provide 15,747,610 Scripture booklets for countries with a combined population of more than 313,500,000 and has awesome potential for drawing tens of thousands, if not millions, of souls into the Kingdom of God.

Often those directly involved in the distribution of WMP Scripture booklets find their own hearts moved by the Spirit in special ways. Claudia in Chile wrote, Personally, I would like to thank you for the important job that you are doing. To me it has been an awakening for me to evangelism. Ever since I have known God, I've loved to evangelize, seeing all that He has done in my life, but as I've matured and become more responsible, I see even more how marvelous it is. Truly, every person that I've met through these beautiful booklets has been almost desperate in their search for God, and the booklets have been our aid in reaching them.

[You can help reach thousands of Spanish-reading people in these countries through an investment in Gods eternal Word. Every dollar produces and ships 25 powerful Scripture booklets; $100 provides for 2,500; $1,000 provides for 25,000.]

 

A Real Treasure

IT IS ALWAYS A JOY to add a Bible-study booklet to the titles available in a particular language. Along with the many Spanish titles in production, WMP will produce A Bible Study on John in Quiche for distribution in Guatemala. Missionaries James and Carla Cocking have waited many years for this project to be completed and are eager to receive their first shipment. They are preparing Bible-study courses on CD with hymns in Quiche to go along with A Bible study on John to be sent to those who respond to their radio outreach.

Carla wrote, This is going to be a great help in bringing the gospel to the Quiche people. . . . It is wonderful to have good literature for them, and the Quiche brothers who work with us look for good opportunities to give the gospel to the patients.

One they really like is the little booklet for children [The Way to God]. The children really enjoy these booklets. They consider them a real treasure. We find that the parents like to read them to the children and then discuss the illustrations.

We have been very encouraged to see that there is quite an increase in the interest of the Quiche people to study the Bible. More are taking the time to read it.

The Miskito people of Nicaragua have received the light of the gospel through WMP Scripture booklets distributed up and down the Rio Coco River, along with needed food supplies. Villages that knew nothing of the gospel a few years ago now have established churches.

To help disciple these new believers and train them to share the gospel, WMP will be providing A Bible Study on John in Miskito. Steve Bakos and the staff of Messiah Project, who work among the Miskito people and helped prepare this new study book, know how important it is to tend a young believers heart, helping them become deeply rooted in the Word of God.

In another part of Nicaragua, Ben Butler and Way of the Cross Ministry will host a conference for about 4,000 pastors to train and challenge them in preparation for 14 summer crusades throughout the nation. Teams will go village-to-village and house-to-house, giving out WMP booklets and inviting people to a service that evening in the village. Those who respond to the gospel message will receive A Bible Study on John in Spanish from World Missionary Press. Way of the Cross has asked for 200,000 copies for their summer outreach programs.

[A contribution of $100 will provide 958 copies of Spanish A Bible Study on John. A gift of $200 will reach 1,916 people with this excellent Bible study tool.]

Thank you for your interest in sharing Gods powerful Word with precious people around the world.

  Your friends in Christ,

  Jay and Vicky Benson

  P.S. A drug addict receives a booklet from a young man. A Christian worker finds renewed passion through personal use of Scripture booklets. New believers who speak strange-sounding languages discover more about the Savior who promised eternal life to all who believe on His name. This is the continuing story of what God is doing through World Missionary Press. And you have a vital part in it all.

[No gift is too small to be appreciated, nor too large to be put to good use. Your investment at this time in Gods Word is guaranteed by God Himself to bring forth eternal fruit.]

"Words Cannot Express Appreciation . . . ."

   Eagerness to use WMP Scriptures comes in part from seeing firsthand how God uses them to change lives.

   "I thank God so much for what you are doing! You are doing a wonderful work. Words cannot express my appreciation for you and your material.

   "Your material is in Cuyotenango, a small town in Guatemala. God is using His Word to touch hearts of adults and children.

   "Your coloring books were put in plastic bags with candy for 350+ children. Pastor told us to be prepared for 200 children maximum. The first day we had 295! Which is why the young man in the photo is reading El Camino a Dios [The Way to God]. We had to go buy more supplies for the increase in numbers, and this young man who worked at the store helped us with our packages. We gave him a booklet and told him to be sure to read it. 

   "When we passed by the store later in the day, this is what we saw! He was reading out loud about God’s love. Even taking his photo did not disturb him. Maybe we will recognize him in Heaven one day!

   "Thank you for your faithfulness to the work of the Lord! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
