Witness by Mail
Sent in to us from David B. of Pennsylvania

I wanted everyone to know how I get a lot of tracts out into this world. What I do is I go through the local phonebook right in alphabetical order and send tracts to people's homes by mail. I send out a few every day. I also leave them around work, and in public places where they are in good eye shot of people. I always have a few on me so while I am witnessing to the lost I have them at the ready to give to them.

Sharing with 500 People
Sent in to us from Jason P. of Council Bluffs, IA

My grandfather died two weeks ago. There were over 500 people at his memorial service. The pastor opened up the microphone for anyone to share their thoughts and memories. I decided to speak. Anyone who knows me would tell you I am a very shy person, but the Holy Spirit, and the teaching on your show has helped me to be bolder. I couldn't pass this opportunity up!

I shared some fond memories of my grandfather. I then told them that just as my grandfather was here one minute and gone the next, the same may happen to them. I shared the gospel using the Ten Commandments, showing that we are all guilty. I pleaded with them to put Jesus on and make Him their own Savior.

I got to share with over 500 people! Well, afterward I heard reports of all kinds of people being moved. On top of that, my sister had brought a friend of the family, and he made the decision to repent of his sins and accept Jesus as his Savior. God is so awesome!

Thanks so much for your encouragement. You have helped make it easier for me to share the gospel in a straight forward way.
