Student Wants Booklets to Share
"I am a 22-year-old Kenyan citizen interested in receiving Scripture booklets from you. I learned about you from a friend of mine who received the booklets from you. He could not share the booklets though! They're the most precious things he has ever owned in the recent past, he said.
"I am a student at one of the Kenyan colleges, majoring in Certified Public Accounting. I am a Christian who just needs inspirational Scriptures like the ones you print. I mean, aren't they just wonderful!
"I would also be glad if I got a Bible from you as well. It would just make my day back here in Kenya. You are great friends, and please keep it up. I'm proud of your
work.
"I hope you will also send enough booklets to share with a dozen friends in the college. I have to stop writing now and do my studies. Be blessed."

Deaf Boy Sings and Preaches
"Every evening all our orphans living in the Rego family meet together with the older orphaned boys to hear a Bible story and to pray together. One evening, as all the children gathered for their evening prayers, Pastor Rego and Mama Rego, sitting outside their home, heard Marjan, our 9-year-old deaf orphan boy singing in Portuguese, 'Jesus passando por aqui' (Jesus is passing by; sadness flees, joy enters). He then asked for the Scripture booklet, The Way to God, turned to the page where Jesus is on the cross, and started preaching. 'We must be kind to one another; we must not hit one another. It is good to have food, and even if our food is not always so tasty, God will always care for us. Jesus is close by us, praying for us.'
"The next Sunday, after praying for Marjan, Pastor Rego said that God can speak through all of us, also through the children, and that we should never belittle them. Then he invited Marjan to speak. Marjan, Scripture booklet in hand and with Antonio as his interpreter, sang two songs and spoke a similar message. People were amazed! It was very special to see this deaf child inspired by the Holy Spirit to speak so clearly in Masena these childlike but true words."

Family Saved in Emergency Room
"I am an individual working with other church members who enjoy evangelizing. We also go out of the country to the outskirts of Mexico to share the gospel with your booklets. These have been of great help. The previous order I placed with you was used to reach out in the emergency room of hospitals. An entire family of five received Jesus Christ as their Savior, and three gang members that were friends of the family became part of the family of God.
"May God bless you and keep providing for your ministry. I am more than grateful for the help that you provide in bringing the gospel in a more simple way to the souls in need. God bless you all."

"Changed Instantly"
"I am so humbled for what your ministry is doing in the world, and I say may the good God bless you physically, spiritually, and financially.
"I am a boy nineteen years of age who has sinned for about two good years, living a bad life such as stealing, smoking, etc. I also attend Senior Secondary School in my country. But, one day, as I was returning from my business with my friends, a certain man gave me two pieces of a booklet. At home, I opened it and found it was from you. In fact, immediately when I read the booklet, I changed instantly. I have now stopped what I was doing at first and now I am a fully-committed Christian.
"But one problem which worries me a lot is [that] my friends and classmates are still doomed. I want them also to be what I am now. Therefore, I am pleading with you to send me one hundred and fifty to two hundred booklets entitled The Way to God to distribute to my friends and other students in my school. Thank you. May God bless you as you continue to expand the Word of God to sinners. I hope to hear from you soon."
