"Be the Connection!"
 “Many years ago, I had strayed from the ways of the Lord. I was no longer attending church. One day, passing by the Novo Rio bus station, I sat on the bench and looked to the side. I found a booklet entitled Help From Above. I picked it up and started reading. That day, God spoke to me through the booklet. Years later, on the boats, I found a brother in Christ distributing the same booklet – Help From Above. From that date on, I have never stopped distributing these booklets. I deliver the booklets to churches and in stores, where I leave them on the counter and people take them. I also do social work, delivering food baskets to people in need. I always put a booklet inside to spread the gospel.”
–Melchizedek, S., Brazil

 Mrs. Otto recently settled in N’douci (Côte d’Ivoire) with her children. One evening, a shooting took place behind her home and a robber was killed. Frightened, Mrs. Otto decided to return to the city of Divo. The day after the shooting, however, she received a visit from an evangelization team trained by EHC Côte d’Ivoire. This team introduced her to the love of God and the true protection she could receive from God. A booklet entitled Help From Above was given to her. After carefully reading the booklet, Mrs. Otto gave her life to Jesus. She took courage and entrusted all her fate to God for His perfect protection. Attending the meetings of the local assembly, she and her older daughter publicly entered the waters of baptism, confessing Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord. They serve God fully in the local church where they grow spiritually day-by-day in the joy of the Lord Jesus.  Sister B. and her husband reside in Central Sri Lanka. They are from different religious backgrounds. B. has always been curious about spiritual teachings illuminating the path to a meaningful existence. In March 2023, she was given the Scripture booklet Help From Above in her native Tamil language. Moved by the booklet’s message, B. shared it with her husband, igniting their joint quest to explore the teachings of Jesus further.
“My wife and I have been handing out your Help from Above booklets in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on the boardwalk. We have a mission field coming to our city every day! Help from Above is such a great resource, as it is full of God’s Word. Thank you for making it available.” —George & Kim R., South Carolina  “I am an evangelist. We take these booklets, along with Bibles, food, and personal items, to physically feed the homeless, the less fortunate struggling since the Covid pandemic, and into the homes of seniors. Our goal is to help meet their needs while also feeding them spiritually with Jesus. . . .
I have been saved for 32 years now, and I must say the booklets you have provided are far better than any I have ever seen. I already mailed some to people I know in the Philippines and Poland who were all very excited to see you had them in their native tongue. “I pray that God uses your mission like He has ours. I truly love Help from Above. It’s not just a guide to salvation, but it’s a mini-Bible for Christians to learn how to live a Christ-like life. God bless you for all you have done.” —Chuck P., Ohio, USA  “We have a community labour booking office from which we’d like to distribute Help From Above booklets in terms of evangelism. One of these booklets really helped me to get to know God after trying to commit suicide. I found the booklet in a Muslim person’s home, so I believe it sometimes may not be for the person who takes the booklet but for somebody elsewhere, just as it saved my life.” —R.P., South Africa A doctor in São Paulo gave one of his patients a Help from Above Scripture booklet. Over the following weeks, she read and reread the booklet, soaking up the words of hope and redemption. When she returned for a medical follow-up three months later, she reported that she was now a Christian! He Received Jesus' Love through a Scripture Booklet & Now Reaches around 3,000 People each Month!5/16/2018 “Hello my brothers. I’m a Baptist pastor. I was saved through a booklet and today I dedicate myself to handing out booklets to those who have not yet been saved. I have an interest in various titles that you publish. I reach about three thousand people a month. I will be grateful if you can assist me. Thank you very much. I have known "Help From Above" since 1980, when I received a copy from a dear brother in Christ. Later, I became aware of other publications and I consider them of excellent quality. I would like to help distribute them in my city.”
-Wagner A., Brazil “I was prematurely born (seven months) into a Hindu family in June of 1966, in a small village called Wachpoo in Eastern Nepal. My mum passed away when I was one, and it was my stepmother who took care of me and brought me up. I began searching for the truth from a young age, as I never agreed with my parents’ faith—Hinduism. Although I used to strictly observe all the rites and rituals instructed by my parents, I had no genuine peace in my mind and life. I observed them offering sacrifices, partaking in all kinds of Hindu rites and festivals, but never saw any truth in those things. When I was 14 years old and still studying, I got a booklet titled Help From Above from one of my cousins who is now my pastor. After reading this little book, I was convinced that I was a sinner and acknowledged all my sins before the Lord Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. Since then, I started experiencing the genuine love of God and peace in my life. I started attending a local fellowship. However, during my early Christian walk, I faced many problems due to objections from my family members and also from the villagers. Due to these situations, it was a challenge to have a real intimate relationship with the Lord, so I left my village and came to Kathmandu where I was water baptized in 1981. Thereafter, when I became a member of the church, I also got the privilege to undergo one year of discipleship training in Kathmandu, which taught me a lot about the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which has helped me to grow in my faith. After completion of my training, I started to work with a local church in Kathmandu. I was involved in various kinds of ministries—serving in Sunday school, conducting Bible studies, and house fellowship meetings—that led to much growth of my spiritual life as a Christian. As an evangelist, while preaching and ministering with my church, I felt a burden to reach different people groups of Nepal with the Good News. I realized that it could be made possible by distributing gospel literature in different languages to these individual groups. Thus with this burden and the Lord’s leading, in 1988 I joined Gospel for Asia Nepal and got involved in the work of publications.” -Chitra R., Nepal |
