Letters & Testimonials

On busy George Street in Sydney, Australia, Frank Jenner approached more than 100,000 people over the years, with this straightforward question: “If you were to die tonight, where would you be, in Heaven or Hell?” The far-reaching results of this act of faithfulness, and this simple question, would perhaps never have been known as widely as they are now, if it wasn’t for a preacher in England named Francis Dixon. During his ministry, he encountered two men in one night who had identical testimonies of meeting a man on George Street who asked them this same question. That question, riddled with truth, caused conviction and later salvation and such transformation in these men that they dedicated their lives to ministry and evangelism, reaching thousands more for Jesus Christ. Dixon decided to start sharing this story at other meetings as he traveled throughout the world, only to find even more people...

“Is it okay that I give you this?” That’s the typical way that Teresa Haney, 77, of Jacksonville, Fla., begins conversations about Jesus with people she meets for the first time. Then she extends a copy of the motion tract, “You are Loved”. “This is just to tell you that God loves you. I just want you to know,” she tells them. Whether going to the grocery store or doctor’s office, or even on vacation – she never leaves home without having the Gospel tracts in the front pouch of her purse, ready at a moment’s notice to give to anyone who seems available and receptive. Her husband keeps them in his pocket. They never want to miss an opportunity. Out of all the years of doing this, Teresa said there were only 2 to 3 people who refused to take one. As a general rule, she said, “Everyone who...

For 20 years, Larry Key, of North Carolina, ministered to incarcerated youth. For twelve of those years, he also ministered to people on the street. Today, he is three years into full-time street evangelism in North Carolina through an outreach named Crossing the Streets Ministry. The ministry focuses on homeless, runaways, and troubled youth on the nation’s streets. When once he preached to youth in prison, he said one of his main goals now is to reach them before they end up there. Key leads teams of volunteers, armed with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, onto the streets, homeless encampments, and other areas. While many outreaches focus on feeding the homeless, Key said they often miss the opportunity to meet their even greater, deeper…and eternal…need for Jesus Christ. “If they go to hell with a full belly or an empty one, we’ve missed the important part,” he said. According to...

Sowing and planting has been a part of every aspect of Eleanor Ruch’s life 🌱 First, her grandfather founded a commercial greenhouse company – a firmly-rooted family business that has, so far, lasted five generations. Second, she and her husband spent years planting churches. And third, Eleanor’s personal lifetime mission has included sowing the Gospel in fertile hearts whenever possible. “I’m a seed-sower,” she said. “My job is to get it out there.” The 88-year-old native of Hatfield, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pa., said it’s important for us to know our unique individual giftings and to use them to serve the Lord. “I’ve grown in the understanding that comparing ourselves to others doesn’t work. It’s not God’s way. God has uniquely equipped each one of us.” For Eleanor, that gifting seems to be a natural ability to casually connect with someone and begin a conversation. Usually, she gets to know...

Gospel tracts from Moments With The Book are a critical element in the evangelistic efforts of Friends of Jesus Campus Ministries at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. “On a busy college campus, we only have a few moments of a student’s attention,” said Bethany Frye, executive director of the ministry. “Our strategy is to include a MWTB ‘60-Second Gospel’ tract tucked inside every single Scripture portion (Gospel of John) we hand out.” Frye said ministry volunteers aim to conduct a “peaceful, loving Gospel outreach” to students and faculty, “offering a friendly presence and a listening ear.” When students stop at the ministry table, Frye said volunteers thank them for stopping, tell them they love them, and ask to pray for them. When time allows, they ask them questions and get to know more about them. They also tell them what they will discover in the literature presented to them....
