During the pre-Christmas time many people like to buy the What Are Christmas And Easter All About? (CnE) books by the case. (108/case) At a dollar a piece, people and churches like to hand them out. One case went out today to hand out to International students in Louisiana. Another case went to a neighborhood in Spokane WA and several other cases to several states around. I can only pray for all these mini- messages going around and presenting the Gospel. We will only get to know in Heaven the full impact.
Just last week Lorie, Noby and Tom went to the ISI…International Students “Talk Time”. We met over 60 Foreign students and had a Christmas festive meal. We sang some traditional songs and then dressed up one person from each table as a Christmas tree. Lots of fun. We sat across from a gal from Taiwan. Other students were from Japan, Gaza, Korea, Syria, China and a host of other nationalities. From all these interactions, we hope to make friendships and point them, over time, to the Lord. A Santa was there and handed out gifts to each student. The gift that was wrapped so nicely was a copy of the CnE book. Each student took a copy home with them written in Easy-English – a simple to read version of English. We pray that many of them will understand the Gospel or ask more questions from their host family.
Our dear friend Paul Bramsen just came out with a new book entitled KING OF GLORY. (click “Movie” below to watch a preview) We are encouraged by the feedback coming in from readers around the world: from the grandfather telling the story to his 4-year old grandson—to the 85 and 86 year old couple touched by its plain yet profound message. They have begun work to turn KING of GLORY into a Ken-Burns-Effect movie suited especially for oral learners.
Tom is teaching a young man through By This Name. We are half way along. Keep praying.
Lorie is teaching 2 ladies who are enjoying learning these truths. Pray as she continues to point them to our Savior.
GoodSeed now has a “Kindle” (e-book) edition of By This Name on Amazon. Along with The Stranger on the road to Emmaus… we average (~50 copies) / month from our Kindle books. But you may download a free copy from: http://www.goodseed.com/products/btn-eng-book-ebook/
This Fall I went back and forth on 8 weeks of travel for teaching. It was worth it. We are hearing of people reaching out with the gospel because of the teaching. That is why we do what we do here at GoodSeed. To train others so they will be effective in their gospel presentation.
Tom is preparing for 2012. So far, NY and MT are 2 areas he is traveling to. If you would like him to come and teach in your city, and you would be willing to help coordinate some of the logistics, then let’s talk and pray about the potential of training people in your community for outreach of the Gospel.
Today I got to talk to 6 high school boys at first lunch and then 2 high school boys at second lunch. They tend to only have a slight inference of what God and the Bible is all about. This generation is NOT being taught critical truths to understand salvation. Pray as we seek to find “one here and one there” to teach and point them to the Savior. Christmas is here and they don’t have a clue as to its meaning and answer for their sin problem.
… I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
1 Corinthians 9:22 (NIV)
I hope you remember, ponder, and have a very worshipful time of the glory of GOD coming to Earth - - Immanuel.
