Salvation Comes in a Gym
"Paola, a 42-year-old woman, studied a career and got married. Her marriage failed and, separated from her husband, her main focus was her two girls. But at the same time, a nervous depression began. Her life had no meaning, she was lonely, unfit, and her heart completely empty. She worked in a gym, and somebody gave her a booklet she thought was
'beautiful.' God was working! In those days she was sick, but she was visited by a servant of the Lord. She told her,
'You need to receive JESUS in your heart.' And in that place (the gym) in the break room she received our Lord Jesus Christ. The next day a consolidation work began, and today she is attending church every Sunday and also Bible classes every week. She says,
'CHRIST has changed my life, and I am a new creature!' "

Conversion Through Help From Above
"In 1978 in the interior of the State of Rio de Janeiro, I was converted when I read the booklet Help From Above. A year later, I gave this same booklet to my cousin, and he also was converted. Today he is a pastor of a Baptist church in the city of Tres Rios. For this reason I would like to receive some more booklets for personal evangelism, because I know of no other which is more complete."

Booklets for Free Witness to God
"I'm Alina Kurnikova from Barcelona (Spain). Today I received your brochures. Thank our God for this and for you. My husband is not a Christian, and he told me that I would never receive anything from you, because he thinks that I have to pay for this. But I was not ashamed, and today I've seen this with my own eyes. I know that he who believes in Jesus and His Word will never be ashamed! God bless you with all heavenly blessings!"

Using English to Reach Hindus and Muslims
"I am a retired professor of English, still teaching English language and literature at home. This gives me an opportunity to evangelize my students, all of them Hindus and Muslims. Also, from time to time I go to preach at different places. I need 100 copies each of your booklets Help From Above, The Way to God, and A Bible Study on John."

Influence of a Booklet From Long Ago
"We are a small rural church (in Franklin, Virginia), with very limited resources and would like to use the booklets as a means of outreach and discipleship. My mother had a copy of Help From Above that she obtained over thirty years ago, and I as a pastor loved it so much that I did a search for the booklet [on the internet], hoping that it was still being offered free. May God richly bless you all!"

Made a Tremendous Impact
"I have seen the evangelism booklet The Way to God in Afrikaans. What a thorough piece of literature! It made a tremendous impact on me,...and I would like to get hold of more of these booklets. I want to distribute this booklet in the Afrikaans-speaking areas of Ellisras (Limpopo Province) and Potchefstroom (North West Province). I will be staying in these two towns during the months of November, December, and January and will be sharing the gospel message with many people.
"I can't think of anything more exciting than to place such a good little Scripture booklet into the hands of people who are desperately looking for meaning in life.... They are of indescribable value as a tool to evangelize and to bring people into the church."
