"Be the Connection!"
 “Every year I prepare blessing bags with booklets and coloring books for children, crosses, devotionals and booklets for teens, and Meditations in the Psalms and blessing rocks for the adults. We usually see about 250 children, 100 teens, and 200 adults at the annual Community Day in the Park. We love being a blessing to others, and your resources permit us to do much more than we could do on our own. The children love gathering at the table and picking a gemstone with a cross painted on it to go with your Who Am I that a KING Would Die in My Place? booklet and coloring in the God Loves You! booklet as we tell the stories! I love your outreach materials, small group studies, and of course the coloring books. Thank you for your commitment to God’s work!!!” —Jennifer R., West Virginia

 In recent weeks, World Missionary Press has received a growing number of requests for Scripture booklets in Ukrainian. Surely the Spirit of God is moving among His people to reach out with hope and support through His Word. Booklet orders have already been sent to four separate churches in Poland to serve those coming from Ukraine and also to minister to Russians who have come for safety. A team from the USA will be ministering to refugees in Greece, including new arrivals from Ukraine. WMP’s national coordinator in Finland has asked for a new supply of booklets in Ukrainian to meet the opportunity. A group in California is sending humanitarian aid for Ukraine, including WMP Scripture booklets in Russian and Ukrainian. They sent an urgent request for more booklets for the next shipment of aid. Feed the Hungry requested 20,000 Scripture booklets to accompany their response to the situation in Ukraine.  John B., a CMA Motorcyclist for Jesus, wrote, “Your company is like a silent Herald Newspaper, and we are the ‘paper boys’ calling out, ‘Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Jesus Christ has saved the whole world from sin and death and is giving out free gifts to all who believe the Good News in His message--EXTRA! EXTRA! Read All About It!’ Thanks to WMP, I am one of your paperboys!”  None are beyond the reach of God’s love and saving power. From a poor and needy widow in South Asia, to a desperately suicidal woman in Brazil, to a lonely soldier in Colombia, to a prisoner in Paraguay—all received a Scripture booklet from someone they did not know, but who carried the name of Jesus in word and deed. World Missionary Press sent out more than 80 million Scripture booklets in the past year. Those who requested them are busy spreading the word.  When Oromiffa Scripture booklets were distributed in Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia, Joseph O. wrote, “Thousands of people in the most remote and tribal places on earth are being evangelized.” He was happy to note that every single Scripture booklet previously sent had been passed out, and they were needing another year’s worth.  "This year during our evangelistic journey in Cali, we visited in the Barrio Jardin, a dangerous zone because of violence, narco trafficking, and the presence of many homeless, drug addicts, and street vendors. One street vendor who received a booklet was so touched by it that the next day she searched for us until she found us and asked for another booklet to read. She showed us in her handbag those she had already read. This is the power of the Word of God. Both adults and children like The Way to God Scripture booklet because of the model prayer on page 29. Because of that prayer, they ask for it more than the other titles. That booklet has been the key to go into very dangerous places. Pray for the 51.6 million people of Colombia, with its 1,119 cities. The need of literature to reach Colombia is great!" Omar, Colombia  S.B. of Ethiopia Every Home for Christ wrote, “Booklets should help us share words of life and truth with the lost around us. Most of the lost world that we seek to reach will never enter a church building to hear the truth proclaimed through preaching from a pulpit. So, we must go to the people with the precious seed of the Gospel. In my own life, I discovered a gospel booklet on the ground in the subway system. That gospel booklet was one of the many things God used to work in my life and draw me to Himself.”  Proverbs 27:2 says, "Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips." I'd like to give thanks for my dear friend, Samuel Murusi, who is New Covenant Missions' National Coordinator in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The last few years have been tough for many, and it has been especially difficult for the precious people of the DRC. Nevertheless, Covid-19, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, a refugee crisis, and scores of other calamities haven't stopped the Love of God from functioning through this precious servant. He and his team have continued to evangelize and disciple many in the midst of it all. World Missionary Press Scripture booklets are a vital part of his ministry, and no one appreciates them more than this dear brother who is constantly sharing the Love of Jesus. I encourage you to pray for Samuel and the beautiful people of the DRC, as the Holy Spirit leads. Yours In Christ, Joe Chadburn Ambassador Network Director World Missionary Press  "I would once again like to thank your ministry that, for over 35 years, has sent us these wonderful booklets that have helped us so much to evangelize Brazil.
Here, in Sao Paulo, there is a place called 'Cracklandia' where hundreds of young people live drugged for 24 hours a day. We are evangelizing these young people with the literature sent by you, and many young people have abandoned their addition and accepted Jesus as the Savior of their soul. I thank God for His ministry. May God bless you all." -Jose, Brazil  Leges, 78 years old, was a well-known witch. She had lived her entire life in a house where demons were worshiped. One day, a Christian visiting relatives in the area boldly went to Leges’ house to share the gospel. A struggle began within her as she listened to the message. Finally, a calm came over her. As she clearly heard and understood the gospel, she received the Lord as her Savior. As a result of giving up her witchcraft, she lost her source of income and her husband evicted her. This testimony of Leges is one of many from across Ethiopia. Gospel workers, armed with World Missionary Press Scripture booklets, go into villages and homes, proclaiming life-giving truths through words and actions. |
