enemies.• It never gets discouraged or angry.• It can be
read in secret and at any convenient time.• It never
compromises or changes its message.• It never tires, able
to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week• It is willing to tell
its story over and over.• Its message has no time expiry
limits.• It leaps language barriers, speaking without a
foreign accent.• It has no passport or visa restrictions.

Literature we have use around the world leads
to a point of decision…
A decision to follow Christ…
Or a decision to ask more questions about Him.

have a lasting impact on our community and it has impacted
the life of our church as well!”

like we had not before … and has helped us look outside
ourselves … to think and care more about those we were
mailing to.”

and hope in Jesus Christ in every home in this city.”

lost people with the Gospel, revealing what local
churches believe about the love of God for their
community, and resourcing individual Christians
so that they might share their faith with others.”
