Rugby Player Transformed in Samoa
"John W. from New Zealand was doing very well for himself as a rugby league player until he damaged his knee beyond repair. He was living a promiscuous life-style until one day he was handed the booklet titled
The Way to God. Deep within him was a longing to know the right way to God. The title of the booklet was
thought-provoking, and he began to ask, 'What is the right way to God?' And,
'How do I get there?' He eventually got saved, and today he . . . distributes the same booklet to others in Samoa. God used a simple booklet to save Johnny, and today Johnny is using the same booklet to witness to
others - a domino effect!"
-M.K., Every Home for Christ, Asia Pacific
Community Blessed by Booklets
"The pastor of our church and 21 members in Durban, South Africa, returned on Monday after a week-long mission trip, 800 km. away in the Eastern Transvaal. We went into the rural townships and prayed for people, handing them your Zulu booklets. We led people to salvation, prayed for healing, and showed the Jesus film at the local church, which we also attended daily. It was an awesome and blessed experience, and all the people of the community were very blessed with your
booklets."
-Linda G., South Africa
Enjoyed Tattered Booklet
"I live in Zambia, and I came across an old and tattered copy of My Scripture Memory Book, Volume 1. I have enjoyed reading the few pages available, including page 34, which has details about World Missionary Press. God has called me into ministry, and I wish to have three copies of this wonderful booklet. I will use the booklets to teach God's children in His church."

An 8-year-old Saved Through One Couple's Sacrifice
"When I was eight years old, my Sunday-school teacher, Pobee, gave me The Way to God booklets to read and to share with my friends. I never knew that a great man and a great woman had to sacrifice so that I, Abraham, in Ghana, West Africa, could be saved. I want to say to the Goodmans, even though they are gone, I shall forever remember them in my heart, as I read their profile. I want to be a volunteer and a distributor."
-Abraham A., Ghana
[NOTE: Fifty years ago Watson and Rose Goodman flew from South Africa to begin World Missionary Press in the U.S. During a stop in Ghana, Rose prayed that WMP would one day send thousands of Scripture booklets into Ghana and other nations. Write for a free copy of their inspiring story,

Light in a Dark Place
"Thank you for mailing me A Bible Study on Revelation. [It is an] encouraging and useful study, especially in a place where I cannot get religious books to read and grow spiritually. Keep your good works going."
-P.J., Sultanate of Oman
Young Mother Gathered the Neighbors
"Just a quick note to thank you for the booklets you send our way. A young mother gave her heart to Jesus, and I shared with her the booklet about Jesus being King. She went right home and gathered all her neighbors around and read the whole thing to them. She was so excited to have a way to share the gospel with others. We also will be starting to make these booklets available in the military camp. The words in Isaiah are so true: 'My Word will not return void.' "
-Esther S., Burkina Faso
Chaplain Sees Great Increase in Jail Ministry
"Thank you for the much-needed booklets. We have seen a great increase in the number of inmates coming to our Sunday evening church service, our Bible studies, and prayer times, and a continual reaping of souls for the Savior. What a blessing! In the church service, we have had standing room only quite a few times. The Lord is good. It is because of your prayers and care for us that we see the Lord at work."
-Carl R., Arizona
