Total of 14 saved to date!

God just keeps on blessing! I am amazed at what God is doing. Every week we are seeing folks get saved in their homes or at their doors. Some of these folks have begun to come to our services.

Two weeks ago I left my car for repairs at the Auto-Center and was driven to the office by their shuttle service. I had met the driver before and had learned his name. This time I witnessed to him and he was very ready to receive Christ right there in the car outside of my office. Praise God. He now has a bible (his first) and good discipleship material. Last Saturday night his wife got saved!

People have told me for years. Going to door-to-door just doesn't work anymore. These folks have been misinformed. We are going door to door in a small town where there are churches everywhere. We are confirming the statistics that over 80% of Americans are unchurched. Among these unchurched a staggering number have never been in church or ever held a Bible in their hands. I've given over a dozen bibles away to people just like that.

There's something different about going to a door doing a religious opinion poll. It's not at all like going 'cold turkey'. Using an opinion poll breaks down a lot of barriers that might otherwise be present.

Of course, opinion polls are not the only way to reach out to the Lost. But it is one very effective way that is working for us right now.

Bro. David,
The other day at our Pastor's Retreat, Mike Withem told us about a ministry called Spark of Grace. Have you heard of it?

Check out: www.sparkofgrace.org

It looks really good for follow-up!
