National Tract Day
We hereby officially rename "Halloween" as "National Tract Day." Over one hundred people came to Ray's door for tracts. His son Daniel Comfort (and his wife Becky) had more than 180 take tracts. Some kids were so excited about the Giant Money tract; they ran off holding it forgetting to get candy.

Free Basic Training Course with enrollment in The School of Biblical EvangelismFree Basic Training Course
It has always been the vision of our ministry to equip laborers, and one of the most effective ways to see this happen is to go through "The School of Biblical Evangelism" (over 7,400 students enrolled). We have therefore decided to do something unprecedented. If you enroll in the School, from now through the end of the month, we will give you the $99 “Basic Training Course” free of charge.. That means that you will not only get 101 online lessons, over 45 audio lessons, 50 cartoon kids lessons, access to our community forum, our chat room, The Way of the Master (book), Out of the Comfort Zone (book), Hell's Best Kept Secret (CD), True and False Conversion (CD), but upon graduation you will also get a bonded leather copy of The Evidence Bible and a beautiful graduation certificate. The cost for all this and the free Basic Training Course is still the normal enrollment fee of $150.

"A phenomenal course." - Jim Culver; "Awesome...This course should be required in every theological seminary." - Spencer S. Hanley; "As a graduate of EE and every other evangelism course I can find, yours by far has been the best." - Bill Lawson; "I cannot explain how blessed I am every time I open the School of Evangelism and study. I have pastored for almost eleven years and have never been to Bible school. Until now! Thank you so much for this great work." - Pastor Wayne Andres; "I have shared my belief in Christ for almost 20 years but I have never seen anything as powerful as the teaching in the School of Biblical Evangelism." - James W. Smith; "I consider this to be the greatest biblical learning experience of my life." - Steven R. Harbaugh; "Thank you for the course -- I love it. I am a Pastor of Evangelism and Discipleship and have found it to be the best training I have had in evangelism (and I have been to seminary and the Billy Graham School of Evangelism)." - Pastor Tom Ballard.

TransformedThe "Transformed" Conference
Already more than 4,500 people have signed up for the Atlanta "Transformed" Conference. We would love to see you there. Visit this site to register.

"The Way of the Master is making a great impact due to its simplicity and straightforward approach using the Law, the Ten Commandments, in evangelism. Many 'first-time evangelists' have already taken what they have learned to the streets of Atlanta having engaged in street witnessing. In addition, many of our students will be at The Way of the Master's 'Transformed' Conference on Saturday, December 2nd, at First Baptist Woodstock." - Charles F. Stanley, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Atlanta

"If I could only attend one conference this year, this is the one that I would not have the courage to miss! Not for spiritual wimps, this conference will at once leave you shaken, shocked, invigorated, and blessed!" - Paige Patterson, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

Public Access TV
Would you like your neighbors to view Living Waters videos, as well as other compelling Christian videos on TV? Joey, a friend of our ministry, has a way to help you do just that. He's been doing it for years in his hometown, using "public access television." Many TV networks have one channel set aside for local community members to submit their own material for broadcast. Public access is often free for local residents, and often all it takes is just a call or two to your TV station manager, and filling out a few forms, once you have the material on hand to broadcast. Go to Joey's website, www.adventuresinchristianity.com and click on the TV link on the left side of the page for more info. There you can get Christian-themed videos pre-formatted to use for your public access station.

Here's another way you can easily get our materials into the hands of others in your area—for free! Submit a request for your favorite book to your local library. Many libraries are happy to add books to their collection if requested by local residents, especially if the library lacks diversity in that particular subject matter. Joey found that there were 380,000 books in his local library collection, but only four were under "Christian witnessing." He pointed out this lack of diversity to one of his local librarians, and they've since added The Way of the Master to their shelves. You may also want to request The Evidence Bible (in soft cover - it's cheaper and more eye-catching on the shelf), since the Bible is often one of the most frequently referenced books--even by skeptics!

Like Minded Christians in Your Area
Often when people hear "Hell's Best Kept Secret" or see our TV program they want to take the next step. For this we have a sister ministry called "The Great News Network" which is comprised of thousands of on-fire Christians from all around the world who exchange ideas and information that will constantly encourage you. The good news is that GNN membership is completely free. If you want to grow in Christ, check out their incredible "Evangelism Boot Camps." In 2007 GNN will be hosting Boot Camps in Las Vegas, at the Super Bowl in Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC and in many other cities around the world.

Get Yourself a Big Dog
Sent in to us by email
"Saturday there was a street fair in my home town; a lot of people walking around looking at cars and stopping at booths etc. Armed with my golden retriever and some Giant Money tracts I walked down and started passing out tracts. Everyone loved them and when they saw they were free, it caught the attention of even more people. I kept walking as I passed them out, but several times I had to stop as people were surrounding me to get tracts, of all things! Others stopped me to pet the dog and of course they received tracts too. As I continued to walk, people were coming up to me from behind and stopping me, seeing the people with Giant Money where I had been and saying, 'I was looking for you!' This actually happened several times. I quickly ran out of Giant Money, I only had a hundred. I ended up passing out over four hundred tracts and spoke to several people about the things of God in a very short time."

The Way of the Master

The Way of the Master
We were encouraged that The Way of the Master book has become an Amazon.com Bestseller. If you have never read it, please take a moment to read the following commendations. And remember that it now comes with a free copy of the "Hell's Best Kept Secret" CD in the back of the book.

"I have over one thousand books on evangelism, soul-winning and revival in my personal library and none of them are worthy to be compared to this book." - R. W. Jones, President, Word of Truth Ministries

"I am at a loss for words. Overwhelming, distressing, and enlightening. I feel as if I have just taken a drink of water from a fire hydrant!" - Jason Stewart, San Diego

"I have also just completed, The Way of the Master and in my opinion is the best book ever written on Evangelism. I have read many of the reformed writers: Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, AW Pink, J.I. Packer, James White, R.B. Kuiper, John Piper, John MacArthur and other Puritan writers. These writers are obviously gifted and inspired and have made an impact on the world, but I believe that The Way of the Master will rank in the top most important books ever written on Evangelism; it ranks with and in my opinion is better than Spurgeons's, Soul Winner which I must say has been one of my all time favorites." - Ron Begin, Florida

Pearl Harbor and French Tracts
If you want tracts for Pearl Harbor Day (Dec 7th) they're available on Living Waters Canada's site. Also, the "Are You a Good Person?" cartoon tract is now available in French at Living Waters Canada.

Free IPod
Sent in to us from Damon and Saehee D.
I run a full colored banner company as a side job and one day I designed a banner for street witnessing. It simply reads "Are you a good (bad) Person? Take this simple test to find out for your chance to win an Ipod Nano." It has a picture of the Ipod on the banner. We designed this for when we go out to a park for a church function we can simply put this on a van or a stand. People will read the sign and be drawn in by the free Ipod Nano display. We go through the good test and at the end of the conversation, we will give them a ticket in which we tell them that at a certain time and location in the park that day we will have a drawing (usually we will be having an outdoor concert so the drawing will be on stage). Right before the drawing we have a person speak briefly on Christ again so that we are absolutely sure the message has been heard. Then we give an Ipod Nano away. That is an investment well worth the price. This also brings the people to us (even though we also go out to them).

Growing Bolder
Sent in to us from Kurt P. of Oklahoma
I have spent over four years going inside the courtroom and distributing your Court Tracts to those sitting, waiting to see the judge. A few months ago, however, I was ordered to stay outside the building (Hey, no arguments from me). This opportunity has afforded me many times of 'preaching' when fear doesn't silence me completely. Today I shared a joke, got some laughs, asked how many were waiting to see the judge and explained that one day we would face The Judge for the last sentencing and the tract I handed them had more information (yeah, it's wimpy but I'm growing bolder little by little). At that point, the least likely individual in the group sprang into life. She asked me if I was going to the Christian motorcycle rally this weekend and proceeded to tell all about the event, how we were in the last days and how people better be ready. It was like my timid effort fanned the spark of this little lady and right in front of everybody she burst into an inferno of fire for God. I can't speak enough about obedience. If we just do what our Lord commands, He takes care of the rest.
