Something Opened Inside
"My name is Justin. I am 30 years old and have not always been a faithful Christian. I lost my way and went away from God and His Word. Regrettably, it led me down a path for two years which ended with me in prison.
"After arriving here, a tract was given to me. As I read it, it was like something opened inside me. My negativity left, and I felt as though I was filled with hope and love. God does have a plan for me. My fiancée and daughter are extremely happy with this change of events in our lives.
"Almost daily, since reading that tract, God has put people around me or given me opportunities to learn and grow in His Word. Then someone showed me a booklet titled A Bible Study on John. I had to return that to him, but he provided me your address and information.... I am interested in: (1) A Bible Study on Genesis; (2) A Bible Study on Matthew; (3) A Bible Study on Romans; (4) A Bible Study on John."

People Hungry for God's Word
"I am pleased to let you know that we have received the booklets that you sent. I want to say a big thank you for your kindness. We are using them to spread the good news in and around our area. As we go out, we realize that people are hungry for the Word and readily accept the booklets. Whenever anyone gets saved, they are also given one. We are so happy to be a part of your ministry. May God continue to bless you."

Booklets for Various Cultures
"Blessings from Belize City. I recently received five boxes of Scripture booklets and A Bible Study on John in English, Spanish, and Chinese. I have been distributing them to the various cultures here in Belize City. I was thrilled to hand my first-ever Chinese Scripture booklet to a person who reads Chinese."

Now Devotes Life to Christ
"Thank you for putting out such a warm and informative booklet. I am a prisoner at the London Ohio Correctional Institution. I recently requested a Bible study course for my personal use and you sent me these little booklets. What they contain are well-documented events, passages, and easy-to-understand information that positively floored me.
"I was, and still am, moved by the work of V. R. Benson. I hope that he [sic] continues to move others as he has moved me on in my new walk with Christ. I always heard that 'big things come in small packages,' but I never thought that it would be the teaching of the Word of God. I am so full of joy and happiness with my new-found friends at World Missionary Press. I just can't thank you enough.
"I have been a sinner for many, many, many long and hard years. By my actions I lost about everyone who truly loved me and cared for me. Now I have decided to fully devote my life to Christ if He would forgive me. I do love God the Father for sending His Son, Jesus, and also for giving us the Holy Spirit that we may be brought back to the Father.
"I will close for now. I just want you all to know what a wonderful impact you have made in my life as a new student in the teaching of the Word!"

Reaching Female Inmates in South Africa
"Thank you so much for the booklets The Way to God/Help From Above that we received today at the Queenstown Correctional Center for females. We really appreciate it a lot, especially as there was no Xhosa reading material available at this center. These booklets are now kept at the library and will surely reach many inmates."
