BarbaraCameron.netFocus on the Family
Focus on the Family visited our ministry earlier this month to interview Kirk and Ray about their ministry, and also to interview Barbara Cameron about her book, A Full House of Growing Pains. Please pray for this publication because it has huge evangelistic potential.A Full House of Growing Pains It is a beautifully bound hard back book, packed full of fascinating photos of her famous kids (Mike Seaver from "Growing Pains," and D.J. Tanner from "Full House") and other members of the Cameron family. Ray's mom, who is Jewish and in her 80's, is reading the book at the moment and enjoying it. (Her name is Esther. Please pray for her salvation.) For more about Barbara and her book go to BarbaraCameron.net.
Billion Dollar BillBillion Dollar Bill
We decided to be ready in case the Secret Service seizes our supply of Million Dollar Bills, by producing a Billion Dollar Bill. We were sent a small supply by the printers before the main shipment arrived, and we have been delighted by reactions to it. If someone says something like, "I don't need a million dollars," simply follow it up with, "How about a billion?" They laugh and take it. It's too good to resist. Other reactions I've heard have been, "Oh my goodness!" "A billion dollars. Wow! That's serious money!"
Thanks a MillionNew Book - Thanks a Million
Join Kirk Cameron as he preaches to the crew on a Hollywood movie set. Sit in as he shares the Gospel with hardened criminals and murderers in LA County Jail, with famous celebrities, or preaches "open air" at a Southern California High School. Be a fly on the wall as a young Christian speaks about spiritual things to actor Jim Carrey, and as Ray Comfort witnesses to atheists, Jehovah's Witnesses, psychics, gang-bangers, and to the "Antichrist" on the Left Behind movie set. Be the sidekick of a Los Angeles police officer as he communicates the gospel to a high profile murderer waiting on death row. Thanks a Million is sheer encouragement, with a bucket full of pure adrenalin. It puts you on the set of the Hollywood movie, right on the seat of a plane next to an atheist as he begins to backslide. You get to eve's drop on the most interesting of conversations about the most exciting topics. But this publication isn't meant to be ear-tickling tabloid talk. Its sole purpose is to teach you what to say, how to say it, and then to send you out on your own adventure.
Filming in New York
We are in New York City September 7-10th, filming for the Third Season. We need help toting gear around, but more than that we need people who can help getting interviews. If you're going to be in New York while we're there, and you're bold enough to approach strangers and ask if they would like to be on TV, then please visit this page.
Way of the Master Radio
Way of the Master Radio is now on 66 land-based stations as well as on Sirius radio and the Internet. In case you don't know what happens on the program, among other things you will hear "phone fishing." Cell phones are handed to strangers around the country and they are witnessed to live on the air. Tune in daily and hear witnessing to atheists, psychics, Hindus, Muslims, false converts, and everyday folks. It's gripping radio because the listeners have no idea what's going to happen next (neither do we). There is nothing like this on radio. It's on daily. Go to WayOfTheMasterRadio.com.

Dentist Survival KitDentist Survival Kit
Have you ever had your mouth filled with instruments by your dentist and you've wanted to say something but couldn't? Then you will love "The Dentist Survival Kit." It has 30 cards that say things like "Your knuckle is crushing my face," "Fine . . . and you?" "I need to wash my mouth out. Now." "Your machine has just sucked up my tonsils." Ray spoke to a group pf doctors and dentists recently and read some of the cards, and there was such a good response to them we decided to add one more card -- one with a gospel message -- to make the pack evangelistic. So now you can give them as a gift to a friend or family member (or your dentist), make them laugh, and know that there is a clear gospel presentation in the pack.

Million Dollar Diet
Sent in to us from Annie O.

Thought I'd share with you this funny story about passing out tracts, as I am rather new at it, and I do it with "much trembling." I'm a stay-at-home Mom and I don't get out every day so, I've decided to commit myself to passing out at least ten tracts when I do go out. (Following the example of Mr. Genor on George Street.) Well, the first day I went to the grocery store, I passed out tracts rather easily but it was draining. The next day, after I realized I had not gotten about 15 items that I really needed, I had to go back to the grocery store. And because of the timing, I had to go on an empty stomach. I was starving and I just knew I was going to be getting several extra items just because I was hungry. As far as passing out tracts, the second day was so much harder! Oh, I was dreading it. About the third aisle of the store as I prayed for courage, I finally gave some tracts to some older gentlemen. One said, "I'll never forget the day I went to the grocery store and a girl gave me a million dollars." Well, that helped break the ice for me and I was able to give tracts out to just about anyone once again. A couple of people turned me down, but most people thanked me for the tracts and smiled. My ten tracts went faster than I thought they would, and as I approached the register I laughed out loud when I realized I had not bought a single extra item beyond my list and I was not the least bit hungry! The "much trembling" had taken all desire to eat away along with any appetite. I thought, Wow, the million dollar diet! Well, a couple of hours later my appetite returned. All the best to you all!

Restaurant Witnessing
Sent in to us from Dave S. of Rockford, IL

When getting ready to leave a restaurant, I look for a family or a group of young people. When I see 4 or 5 teenagers or college students together, I'll typically ask them, "Are you all above average in intelligence or below average?" (It's amazing that EVERYONE in America is above average!) Then I ask, "Who is the smartest one here?" Usually someone gets volunteered. I offer him/her the "Intelligence Test" bookmark, and say, "This is one of the toughest IQ tests around. To pass it, you have to get ONE question right, but I won't tell you which one ahead of time." Then I ask the rest of the group, "Who is the nicest person here?" That prideful volunteer gets the "Smart Card." Then, "OK, which of you is the best reader?" To whom I give "Test Your Reading Skills." And so on. It's easy to get the whole table engaged in the tracts, and you can be sure they will trade them around.

With a family, I start with, "How are you folks doing? I've got a trick to show the kids." The optical illusion with the pink and blue cards works every time. Then the parents get different tracts. Make sure that everyone gets something different so that the Gospel gets sown in each heart multiple times.
Do you want to contribute your witnessing experiences, tract stories, and creative evangelism ideas to the "Coffee Break" column? Send them to: share@livingwaters.com and maybe we'll use yours! (Please include your first name, last initial, and location, in case we use your story!)
