Father Saved Just in Time
"I thank the Lord that He enabled me to find your website. Three years ago, a sister in the Lord gave some of your booklets to me to pass on to others. I can testify that two of those booklets were instrumental in my father giving his life to the Lord the day before he passed away. Unfortunately, I did not get the details of your website from the sister. Therefore I can say it is the
Lord's doing that I discovered you today and am able to remember and share how He has used your publications in my own family. Blessed be His holy and matchless name forever.
Amen!
"By the grace of the Most High God, I have had opportunity to support a new crop of churches and ministries in
southeast London and Kent. The Lord is using me to watch over and pray for these ministries. I believe the Lord is preparing and empowering me and those I am associated with for evangelistic work in the local community. I also believe that the Lord is using me to bring together these churches and ministries to promote unity and
cooperation between them ahead of the influx of souls He shall lead us to, with the responsibility to nurture and care for them in Christ. Therefore it is my hope to pass on these booklets to the pastors of these ministries as well as to my own pastor to use as the Holy Spirit will lead us in evangelistic
work."

Wayward Boy Saved
"I am a boy of 17 years of age. I attend a Methodist church. I was not a Christian. I gave my life, my heart, and even my soul to the world. I loved and cherished the things in the world. My parents advised me, but I did not listen to their advice. I always told them their time has passed and gone. We are in the modern world, so they should leave me to enjoy.
"When pastors talked to me, I walked out, telling them that they did not know what they are saying. I always said to them that the Bible says [we should] give what belongs to God to God and what belongs to Caesar to Caesar, not knowing I could not understand what the Scripture was talking about.
"One day I was at home and my father gave me a booklet with the title A Bible Study on John. I decided not to read, but I heard a voice telling me to read. I read it through and saw the Scripture about John 3:36. I sat down and thought deeply about it and asked myself, 'What shall it profit a man to gain the things in the world and lose his soul?' I became sad and cried and apologized for my mistakes. My parents forgave me and took me to the Methodist church for the pastor to baptize me. Now I am born again. Sir, because of your booklet I did not perish. Please, I want you to send me a Bible...to help my friends who are perishing to repent, and to win souls for Christ."

Backslidden Pastor Now Ministers in Prison
"I just noticed on the back of your Scripture-text Datebook that you are the ministry that produces the little yellow booklets I enjoyed reading nearly 30 years ago. I would love for you to mail some to me in a variety of subjects that I can use to evangelize and disciple several of the international inmates here ....
"I have seen these booklets sparsely and occasionally available through our chapel. But there are none available in the languages I have specified. I know they will be greatly appreciated.
"Please pray for me. I am a pastor that backslid for ten years, getting addicted to alcohol and sex. I have another year and a half [incarceration]. I would like to serve faithfully for the remainder of my life—as did Jonah and Samson...."

Stopped Smoking Through Booklet
"I have a Swedish language course friend who is a Christian young man from Ethiopia. His name is Sami. One day Sami began to smoke and I spoke to him to stop smoking. But Sami did not listen. One day I gave a booklet, Wägen Till GUD [The Way to God], to Sami. Through the booklet, the Holy Spirit told Sami to stop smoking and he did—a young life spared the consequences of smoking and a small evidence of God's working through His Spirit."
