Ray Comfort Oops! Wrong Taxi Driver "I waited until 5:22 a.m. The super shuttle was super-late, so I decided that I had better get a taxi rather than miss my flight..." Not My Job Have you ever wanted something to give to Christians that challenges their complacency about reaching out to the lost? This new email card will do just that. Send it to all your Christian friends and inspire them to see evangelism as their job! Make Your Own Tract How about writing your own tract? Don't say, "But I can't write," say, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Write out your testimony, then use one of these two "templates" to make your testimony into a tract.

Ray and R. C. Sproul at the CBA Convention

The Christian Booksellers Association Convention
The international CBA show, attended by thousands of bookstore owners, is a huge convention where publishers showcase their new products. Ray attended the show mid-July in Denver along with Lynn and Mike Copeland, and they were able to chat with Chuck Colson, Max Lucado, R. C. Sproul, Kay Arthur, Coach Bill McCartney, Dr. Kevin Leman, and a number of other well-known leaders, giving them copies of Ray's new books as well as "Hell's Best Kept Secret." Please pray that God would speak to these leaders through the material. (It was at a CBA show four years ago that Mark Spence gave Kirk Cameron a copy of "Hell's Best Kept Secret.")

Also at the convention, "The Way of the Master" was honored at a press conference as a nominee for Outreach magazine's 2004 Year's Best Outreach Resource award. In addition, Ray did an interview for "The Harvest Show" as well as two interviews with R. C. Sproul of Ligonier Ministries.

Left Behind III
We are very encouraged that Sony Pictures, which will be distributing the DVD of the upcoming Left Behind: World at War starring Kirk Cameron, has allowed us to include 24 minutes of teaching on the DVD. We included portions of "The Firefighter" episode of "The Way of the Master" and a good witnessing encounter, and mentioned our new eight-week Basic Training Course (which we hope to have available in late October). Please pray for this incredible opportunity so that the Church will be stirred to witness. The Left Behind DVD is scheduled for release in late October.

New Book Examines Use of the Law in Scripture
What Did Jesus Do? A Call to Return to the Biblical Gospel answers the skeptic's question, "Where is the Law used evangelistically in the New Testament?" The cynic will be surprised to find that three chapters of this book are devoted to Jesus and His use of the Ten Commandments to reach the lost. Two chapters are devoted to Paul's use of the Law. Paul imitated Jesus; so did Stephen, James, Peter, John the Baptist, and Jude. So did Spurgeon, Wesley, Whitefield, and others down through the ages. It seems that only the modern Church has deviated from biblical evangelism. In a day when many preachers carefully craft their words so as not to offend their hearers, this book calls the Church back to the way of the Master Evangelist, to consider "What did Jesus do?" and then to go and do likewise. This is must reading for all who care about the lost.

Great New Evangelistic Tool
One of the "The Way of the Master" episodes, called "The Greatest Gamble," has such a clear gospel presentation that we've produced it as a separate DVD. It eliminates phrases like "Who do you know who isn't saved?" and is packaged so that it doesn't appear to be a Christian product, making it a great gift for the unsaved.

This DVD explains that the "greatest gamble" is to say there is no hell. It helps the lost understand that they're gambling with their eternity, explains the evidences for hell as a just punishment for sin, addresses the conscience, etc. The on-the-street interviews clearly explain the gospel. Available at a very low cost in small quantities, it's perfect for giving to lost people as an effective witnessing tool!

Campus Crusade
We were thrilled that Campus Crusade for Christ chose to offer a free copy of "Soundly Saved" (Kirk's version of "Hell's Best Kept Secret") in a mailing to their 380,000 donors in July. Please pray that many will request this free resource.

Open Doors and Open Ears
Ray was able to speak at a conference in July hosted by those often associated with the "prosperity" message—those who don't normally welcome this teaching. Praise the Lord for this opportunity to share the truth about biblical evangelism with everyone who needs to hear it. Please pray that these doors continue to open, and that God will raise up faithful laborers.

Open Air Preaching
All four of our open-air preaching videos are now available on one convenient DVD, making it a handy training tool for individual or group use. Called "Open-Air Preaching: 4 in 1," it contains "Open-Air Preaching: New York," "In Season, Out of Season," "How to Preach Open Air," and "Open-Air Preaching from A to Z."

New Book Counters Panic Attacks
In the U.S., more than 3 million people will develop a panic disorder at some time in their lives. Overcoming Panic Attacks is an easy-to-read book that first presents the way of the salvation, and then shares principles that help overcome this devastating disorder.

"What my therapist couldn't do in thirty-plus visits,
this book did in one sitting." —Evelyn Spence (CA)

New Charles Spurgeon Book
Books about the life and ministry of "The Prince of Preachers" are not uncommon. However, Spurgeon Gold takes a unique approach. It isolates the great preacher's deep passion for the lost, many of his powerful gospel proclamations, and his convicting exhortations to Christians to share their faith. You will weep your way through this rich compilation.

Too Good To Pass Up
Someone told us that a friend left a pile of our Million Dollar Bill tracts on a shelf in a secular store. He returned a week later to see if people were taking them, and found that the store was actually selling them! So, if you want to buy a realistic-looking, novelty million dollar bill to give to a friend, you can get one on the internet for just $4.99. Then again, you could get one hundred million dollar bills that are just as realistic—and contain a gospel presentation—from our ministry for only $5.

Upcoming Evangelism Boot Camp
An Evangelism Boot Camp will be held September 2–6 in Seattle, hosted by Darrel Rundus of the Great News Network (GNN). If you're interested in intensive, hands-on witnessing training, see www.thegreatnews.com/ebcupcoming.html for details.

Feeding the Lions from Living Waters New Zealand Pictured is Ben Day (who, along with his wife, Melissa, is the Living Waters' New Zealand agent), preaching open air to the British fans of the "Lions" (one-third of the crowd). The British Lions rugby team toured New Zealand this month. This is particularly sweet for Ray because this took place in "The Square" in the city of Christchurch, where he preached the gospel each day for many years. Coming Soon NEW Living Waters Australia Living Waters is presently developing another Down-under website which will soon be up and running. Please pray for our new agents, John and Genecar Legg—and especially for Genecar as she has been troubled with TB.
