2011 September Vision Letter
PDF VERSION FIFTEEN FLIGHTS, FIVE COUNTRIES, eighteen
days, one cancelled flight, one missing pilot - resulted in a memorable,
productive, adventure-filled journey. Harold Mack, WMP's Director of Global
Distribution, and Jay Benson, WMP president, sensed God's presence and
protection through thousands of land and air miles during their July 9-26
travels. Through meetings with WMP's national
coordinators, overseas printers, and other major distributors, God confirmed
the purpose and value of World Missionary Press ministry. On our first stop in India, we
met with Daniel G., who has worked with World Missionary Press since 1988 and
continues to use WMP Scripture booklets when they are available through our
national coordinator. We were graciously hosted at the
seminary of a ministry with whom WMP has worked since 1989 in producing millions
of Scripture booklets and Bible study booklets in 15 Indian languages. A fascinating encounter at the
airport in Cochin was with Teishal, recent law school graduate on a
spiritual quest. He initiated conversation with Harold Prasanna K., IBL's Director of Finance,
shared that "40 years ago as a university student, I carried your
yellow booklet [Help From Above], and it was encouraging to me."
What a long-term impact! Brother Velu had invited distributors
to come and share their experiences with us. Distributor George reported, "Through
the booklets, many receive salvation. Many villages changed completely. Many
Muslims and Hindus have come to Christ." Another distributor, Sahayaraj, had
been a terrorist whose goal was to destroy India. He spoiled many lives.
Then God saved him. Now he travels 25 states and five territories distributing
booklets. He has observed prisoners becoming softer in their behavior. Prostitutes
are accepting Christ through reading the booklets. And he has reached hard-core
terrorist groups through the booklets. Sahayaraj told us that "peace
and joy come through reading these booklets." He concluded, "We need
millions of booklets for millions in India." Distributor Barnabas told us
that "through reading the booklets, many people accepted Christ, and God
opened the way to start nine churches." What in-depth fruitfulness
through the printed Word of God! [Will you help finance a container
of 2,029,000 Scripture booklets for India? Every donated dollar provides 20
booklets. A donation of $100 provides 2,000 Indian-language booklets. And that
means that $1,000 provides 20,000 Scripture booklets.] On we flew to Bagdogra, India, where
Solon K. of Every Home for Christ (EHC) met us. Solon drove us to another In Kathmandu, Nepal, Harold and
I shared about WMP with David L.'s Every Home Concern staff. David comes
from a Buddhist/witchcraft background. His relatives had planned for David estimated that his supply of
45,500 WMP booklets would be gone in three months. The need for
providing more is heavy upon us. David said, "Literature is the
heartbeat of our ministry. Without literature we have
nothing." [You can help provide more Scripture
booklets for Nepal. A $20 gift pays for 400 booklets; $200 provides 4,000.] Also in Kathmandu we met with
the staff of another ministry whose workers are encouraged to distribute 250
pieces of literature per week, or 1,000 per month. They would be glad for
whatever WMP can do to help supply Scripture booklets. "Thirty years
ago," said one of We were met at Ninoy Aquino
International Airport in Manila by EHC's Sam E. and his wife Emer and two
children. They drove us two hours to meet Bert Manlapaz, who has served
as WMP's national coordinator for 30 years. Besides supplying pastors throughout
the Philippines, Bert personally distributes booklets wherever he goes - to
people in restaurants, to servers, to toll booth people. He is never without a
supply of booklets in his vehicle or in his pocket. The next morning we saw Bert's
well-organized booklet storage area from which he quickly and carefully
disperses boxes of Scripture booklets far and wide throughout the Philippines.
What a conscientious worker he is! He and his wife Naty At the Subic Bay International
Terminal we saw the site where containers from World Missionary Press are
unloaded from ships, then trucked to Bert's home. For some 100 years the United
States had a naval presence at Subic Bay. Back in Manila, we shared
briefly with EHC's Board of Trustees. Brother Sam told us that "based on
testimonies, WMP booklets are helpful in strengthening and sustaining ministry
in various provinces." Sam's wife Emer reported that "the most requested
for churches for the children is He Is Risen! They are always asking
for more of the coloring books. Ministry to children is having a big
impact." What a privilege it is for
World Missionary Press to network with solid ministries in the cause of sharing
God's powerful Word with people who desperately need it! P.S. Thank
you for your part in supporting World Missionary Press through prayer and 6:00

The Jesus Movement swept hundreds of thousands of young souls (including Pat)
into the kingdom of God nearly 40 years
In 1987, pressing into missions outreaches in Guatemala, Mexico, and then
China (where Pat met Windy, the girl who became his wife), the fervency
and dedication of ministry developed into full-time missionary work which
has expanded into Burma and Thailand, where Pat and Windy live and
preach the gospel in jungles. World
Missionary Press has provided Scripture booklets they have handed to tens of
thousands during the past 23 years in Asia, among the tribal villages and
inner-cities of the Buddhist bamboo nations. Saturday,

about Confucianism, Islam, and Jesus in his
eagerness to learn. Harold shared much with Teishal from the Scriptures, and we
gave him Help From Above and The Way to God, which he said he would
read. Jay also gave him a copy of Henry Blackaby's book Experiencing God,
and with Teishal's permission led in prayer that God would continue revealing
truth to his heart. Please join us in praying for Teishal's salvation.
Then on to India Bible Literature (IBL),
WMP's long-time national coordinator. Brother Velu joyfully reminded us that since
1994, they have received 25 containers from World Missionary Press
with a total of about 40 million Scripture booklets in 43 languages. What
an amazing partnership! You are helping make that possible through your
prayers and gifts.
It is India Bible Literature's vision to place Scripture in every home in
India. They distribute 60,000 pieces of literature every working day.
