"A pastor with Jesus Is Real campaign, an Accra-based evangelism movement, reports of their encounter with a demon-possessed, epileptic woman at Katiejile, a small village in the northern part of the Volta Region. She was given a copy of The Way to God booklet but she rejected it because she did not want to have anything to do with Christ. Her teenage daughter, however, took it and placed it on a table in their room. The next morning, the woman sent her daughter to call the team so they would share the gospel with her. She claimed that during the night the gospel booklet shone as if it was on fire so she could not sleep. The team led her, the daughter, and two others in the house to Christ. The demons left her during prayer, and she was healed of the epilepsy as well that morning." -Bishop M., Ghana

After more than a year of limited opportunities for outreach, many in Latin America are discovering new avenues for evangelism and increased interest by those looking for answers to life’s vital questions. WMP Scripture booklets are a vital part of this growing vision. “We are delivering literature in various cities of our country,” wrote Victor S. from Chile. “After the pandemic, there has been an awakening to evangelize, so the demand we have for booklets is great. We want to reach every corner, every house in our country with the message of the Gospel!” In Bolivia, some of the government officials who had wanted to shut down all churches several years ago were given jail sentences. While there, they received the gospel in prison and were born again! Two of them are now working for the Lord’s cause. As Peter G. pointed out, “The Word of our God is powerful, no matter where it gets handed out!” "God bless you, my brothers and sisters! I would like to share a testimony of evangelism from an event in Las Vegas on May 27, 2022. Our youth and their parents participated as we handed out WMP Scripture booklets along with water and chips in a local park. We used two booklets in each bag, Spanish and English. As we shared the Word of God around the park, people were definitely touched and the Lord's Presence was evident. Our church members also read them and took some to share at work and school. Thanks so much for sharing these free Scripture booklets with the world! You are a true blessing, and we're so glad to be partnering with you." God Bless You All, Mirna, Las Vegas The situation in Haiti can best be described as chaotic. A WMP distributor working in Haiti began their report thus: “To say that 2021 was a difficult year is an understatement; the year began with the entire country of Haiti in a state of unrest and things only got worse. We had a presidential assassination, multiple kidnappings, fuel shortages, out of control gang activity, plus 2 earthquakes and a hurricane; and yet through it all God still reigns.” --J.O. Yes, God is still seeking the people of Haiti, sending His message through His messengers. For more than 30 years Pastor Thony P. has been serving faithfully in Cap Haitian, northern Haiti, including WMP Scripture booklets in his various ministry opportunities. “You recently supplied me with a boxful of English Help From Above booklets. I gave them to a young man who is in a faith-based one year drug/alcohol treatment ministry called ‘Mountain Ministries’, which is located near Kelso, WA…. The young man’s name is Vladmir, and he is an immigrant from Ukraine. Mountain Ministries takes their program participants shopping from time to time, and Vladmir likes to witness and give out booklets to people he meets at Wal-Mart and other places. Thanks for your assistance. Keep up your good work.” —James O., WA "Being fluent in Romanian, I travel often, getting to know our national missionaries who are doing the work of evangelism, church planting, and discipleship as well as train and recruit short-term mission teams to serve alongside our missionaries. We have done a lot of door-to-door Bible and literature distribution during free clinics for eye glasses, blood pressure testing, etc. We pray with the people and give them literature before they leave. Our missionaries and teams go on home visits, especially in rural areas, taking food, school supplies, all kinds of needed goods, along with Bibles and literature. They also rely on having some literature to give first-time comers when they visit their churches and when they have questions. The message of salvation especially is so important to put into the hands of people. It is the most important message that someone will receive—a challenge to make an eternal decision." -Cornel, Romania “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!” |
