From Sadness to Faith
"I am 22 years of age and a Christian. At a point of time in my life, I was expecting something from God. Unfortunately, I did not get it at that time, and I thought the Lord had forsaken me. In fact, I was really sad. Then I met a friend who gave me a small booklet titled
How to Know God. Going through it increased my faith in the Lord and also changed my life in so many ways.
"So please, I am pleading with you if I could get additional copies. I want to share them with my friends, my relatives, and anybody I will
meet."
D.A., Ghana
329 Souls Saved
"Thank you very much for the Spanish and English booklets sent for Freedom Fest. Forty churches took part, and 329 souls were saved as a result. We plan to do this again next year. Youth Alive also has a revival planned for the
fall."
H.K., New York
Would Not Have Found Christ Without Datebook
"Since I received my last Datebook, my friends and I have been moved around to different [prison] units here in Texas.
It's hard to believe I've been receiving your little booklet for over five years now. The Bible studies that you offered changed my
friends' and my outlook toward Christ. At this time I would like to request a Datebook for [each of] my friends and me. Please keep me in your prayers as you are in
mine."
W.S., Texas
Survived to Serve
"I am an Indian who is going to be 80. I have been giving out your booklets. I was saved in April 1996. When I was in ICU on a life-support machine, I was given a 50/50 chance [to survive]. For two or three years now I have been working in various homes, praying, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to lost souls, and giving to the poor whatever I can. I have some of your booklets entitled
My Bible Reading Book, which I give out to youths when I'm counseling them, and they really enjoy
them."
J.D., South Africa
Uses Booklets as Business Card
"My wife and I play music locally, usually in a park. We play old-time and gospel music with a hammered dulcimer, guitar, and concertina. People always stop and ask what the dulcimer is and if we have a business card. I put the name of our duet, The Corntreaders, our names and phone number, and
'Jesus loves you' in the space on the back [of each booklet] and use it as our card. It makes it so easy to pass out booklets.
"The first booklet I ever read was Help From Above. That was 31 years ago. A sister gave it to me the night I got saved. I must have read that booklet 100 times. I was so
hungry."
J.E., Iowa
Youth Ministry Expanding
"Thank you for sending the gospel booklets entitled My Bible Reading Book, which have helped a number of people to be delivered from sin. This booklet is a guide as to how we can use our Bible.
"My main occupation is promoting youth ministry by discussing and sharing the Word of God with youth of all ages. With your assistance, I have widened my area up to part of Mozambique, where a number of youth groups have benefitted from your assistance. The problem was that the number of boxes was so limited compared with the number of the needy.
"At the time I started this ministry, I had twelve youth groups. But after receiving your assistance, there are twenty-six
branches."
P.T., Malawi
Booklets Support Christian Journey
"I thank God that I read some of your booklets titled How to Know God,
A Bible Study on Matthew, and Scripture Memory Book. These booklets have helped me a lot in my Christian journey. They have helped me to develop a relationship with God and to understand who Jesus is.
"I am writing from France. I would be very glad if you can send me some of your resources which will help me to stand firm in my Christian
journey."
S.H., France
