Ugly Pictures of Jesus

Perhaps you have noticed that each Easter and Christmas, secular magazines often put really ugly pictures of Jesus on the covers of their magazines. Where do they get such horrible images? We found out. Check out www.uglypicturesofJesus.com.

Ambassadors' Academy

We had our first Ambassadors' Academy recently. Forty-eight people from around the country (and from overseas) came to Los Angeles for a day of intensive training, and then two days on the streets reaching out to the lost.

One highlight was getting a video clip of an A-list actor taking a Million Dollar Bill tract. As you can see from the picture, he mistakenly thought he was being asked for an autograph. However, the student who was trying to hand one to him, didn't miss a beat. He took back the autographed one and said, "Thanks! And here's one for you to keep." Mr. "Scientology" took it with a smile and thanked the student. We're sure praying he will be staying alive long enough to read it.

The Academy is fully booked for May, June, and July.
Apply now for August.

“The Ambassadors' Academy was thousands of times more incredible than I ever could have imagined it could be!” Vic Stinson (SC).

“I returned home safely and wanted to take a moment to say thank you and the Way of the Master Team for an incredible Ambassadors' Academy this past week. This was by far the best biblical training I have attended.” Rhonda Stroud (TX).

We just found out that the episode "The Battle for the Lost" won a silver Telly award (the highest honor they have). And the episode "Fear" came away with a bronze. We couldn't be more pleased and proud of the fantastic job the production guys have done, and are doing, on the third season. Please keep Duane, Tim, Brian and Dale in your prayers as they continue to finish putting all the pieces together, episode-by-episode. (You can pre-order your copy here.)
How to Live Forever Booklet

“I wanted to tell you I read the book you gave me. It just hit me all of a sudden... everything I’ve been searching for was right there in that book. I want to know more. I want to tell people what I found. How can I get involved? Is there anything I can do to learn more and communicate this to other people?” - Stephen S.

If you have come to Christ through this ministry, we would love to hear your story.

Each month in this section we want to shine the spotlight on friends of the ministry that we feel
will be a help and encouragement to you as we spread the Gospel around the world together.

Recommended Speakers
If you need a good speaker (even for a women's event) here's a short list of our recommendations:


Two Dollar Bills
Received as an email from "Joe B."

I ordered some “Gift for You” tracts, and then went to the bank to get some crisp, new, two-dollar bills to put inside. When passing them out I look for people who have time to read it right then, such as: people just getting into their cars, homeless people, or passengers in cars. Every time I give one out the reaction is surprise, maybe because of the unique two-dollar bills. I was in a parking lot the other day when I approached a grumpy looking older gentleman. I said, "Sir, I have something for you." He said, "I bet you do!" I gave him the track and asked him to take it home and read it. I then walked up next to a convertible that appeared to be full of gang members. I handed one to one of the passengers. He said, "What's this?" and started reading it. Anyone can do this! I have found this to be a great ministry. Thanks for providing the tools.
