Saw Booklet in the Hospital
"I would like to receive literature in Portuguese. I saw O Caminho de Deus [The Way to God] during my time in the hospital. Someone was reading it, and I asked about it. He was so excited that he sent one to me. I felt that I should do the same to others.
"This literature is so amazing. It's small and has the Word of God in a very succinct way. I used to talk about the Lord, giving 'new testament' books in cities around Natal. These little booklets are more appropriate. They're very well illustrated. My wife does the same in hospitals, schools, bus stations, etc. We use about 400 in a week."

Ministering Through Medical Clinics
"This is our third year working in Democratic Republic of the Congo. We are physicians and healthcare workers who conduct free clinics in underserved villages. The medical clinics pull the people in from large areas. We also hold crusades, pastors' conferences, and children's Bible clubs concurrently with the clinics to minister spiritual healing as well as physical.
"In the past two years we have ministered directly to over 9,000 people at our clinics and have been training over 400 pastors. We do not count numbers when it comes to salvation because Jesus told us to go and make disciples - not converts. We hope we are making a difference. Your ministry has been such a blessing to us, as obtaining materials in local languages is so difficult. Last year was the first time that we used your literature. We distributed over 10,000 pieces in a two-week period."

Booklets Used with Jesus Film
"Only three weeks ago we returned from Mexico after a six-months' missions trip. We exhausted our supply of The Way to God booklets within the first two months and have had blessed results from them. They are to the point, with a simple explanation of the gospel, and rank right up there with the Jesus movie, which we have shown from the time it was made. Many souls [have been won] for Jesus through these two Godsends. Thank you so much for caring for the Spanish-speaking people."

Up-and-Coming Church Reaches Out
"We are young people in an up-and-coming church, trying to reach the world, but we don't have enough resources to do it. We are currently involved in Bible study in our classes. We discovered that your booklets are exactly what we teach, as support to the Bible. They are easy to read anywhere. We are going to give a booklet after every study. I do appreciate your work. I have read the Bible Study on Revelation. I believe you are going to be a great help to our young, growing ministry. God bless you."

Church Planters Use Booklets
"I am a church planter with E3Partners. I am taking a team of 37 people to Venezuela May 31-June 8 to do house-to-house evangelism and discipleship with the goal of planting new churches. I took 2,525 of your booklets to Tanzania on April 25 with a team, and we distributed them all. They loved your booklets."

Psalms Lift Soul
"I normally read your booklets very much, and I really appreciate the work you do. I have the booklet - Meditations in the Psalms - which is always in my handbag. It helps me a lot when my soul is down.
"I used to communicate with you, but unfortunately I got sick and was in and out of the hospital. But God is great, and I am back to work now as His mercy is mighty."
