Prison Baptisms Planned(Translation from Spanish)
"It's been more than three months that Tito E. has been using materials from EHC and WMP in the prisons of Montevideo, where many lives have been changed by the power of God and the printed page. A baptism is being planned in many of the prisons, and I have been invited to celebrate at these baptisms, thanks to the booklets and New Testaments that have come into their hands.
"Along with Brother E., we are eager for the testimonies that God will give us in our next visit to the prisons of Santiago Vazquez."

Pastor Explains Need
"Greetings from Fivefold Ministries. We are glad to have this wonderful time to communicate with you through our letter. We received all the Bible studies, which are a great blessing to us.
"Our ministry has its beginning in Lusaka, Zambia, some five years ago. The ministry has a vision of bringing many lost souls to Christ [and we find that] many people don't have Bibles. These booklets will help them to hear the Word of God. Some people have Bibles, but they don't know how to use them. Through these booklets, they will learn how to study the Bible. An infant cannot understand the things of an adult until he grows up. A booklet is a good beginning. In our mission work we give these booklets to those who come to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
"We use booklets everywhere at any place as long as it meets the needs of people. That is why we need to have different titles of booklets. For example, in a hospital I must give a booklet entitled
The Power of God. To a sinner [I give] Help From Above [as well as] in buses., workplaces, and on the streets.
The more we distribute booklets, the more people are converted.
"In the church, when a visitor comes, we will give him a booklet entitled How to Know God. We will give him a chance to read for three days, and afterwards we will follow him and share together, allowing him to have questions.
"There are advantages to have these booklets: (1) Easy evangelism. We have people in the church who converted just because we had given them a booklet. Jesus met them when they finished reading in their homes. (2) It forces someone to read God's Word. When you're given that booklet, it will force you to read and hear what it says. (3) Revival in a believer's heart. When a believer reads a booklet, something new happens in his life. We have testimonies of this. (4) Easy to understand the Bible. It is difficult for the believer to understand some books in the Bible, like Revelation, Daniel, etc. But through these booklets, someone may understand the book easily."

Reaching Villages in Pakistan
"Jesus Saves Ministries Pakistan is very thankful to you for sending us wonderful booklets. They are amazing and full of blessing. We have received My Bible Reading Book, Scripture Memory Book, Who Am I That a King Would Die in my Place?, Satan versus CHRIST, and The Power of God. I received some booklets in Urdu also, and I am very happy to see those wonderful booklets in my own language.
"Jesus Saves Ministries Pakistan is ministering in outreached areas of Pakistan. We work in rural areas, visiting different villages and reaching those who were never reached by anyone. Pakistan is a Muslim country, and here it's not possible to get such Christian material to help people grow in faith in the Lord. We need these booklets to give to Christian youth and new Christian converts. We shall be using them during our visits and ministering to all people in the many, many villages around us."
