Hello Friends.
God is kind all the time. We here at JesusForSinners.com feel blessed to have a front-row seat to watch God share His Word with so many people. He constantly gives people the opportunity to repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
God has given us the opportunity to hand out hundreds of Bibles over the past few years. He’s also blessed us with Bible verse books, “Lost & Found”, that we give out to people all over the Seattle area. Just this past Christmas, God gave us the opportunity to hand out over 800 of these books in one night! We easily gave out over 5000 of these books last year. They are a magnificent witnessing tool. God’s mercy is amazing!
As you know from listening to “The Witnessing Report”, we go to downtown Seattle a couple of times a week and share God’s Word right out on the streets. Hundreds, if not thousands, of homeless people have been blessed with God’s Word. We hand out the “Lost & Found” books, along with food and socks, to the people downtown who are living on the streets. We have come to know many of them personally and talk to them on a regular basis. God has given us opportunities to tell them about Jesus over and over again. Many seeds are being sown and He has even allowed us to witness some of them spring to life.
Along with reading The Bible, out-loud, on the sidewalk; we also have tables that we setup so that people coming by can receive Bibles, books, videos, CDs, and speak with us about Jesus. There isn’t a week that goes by where people don’t take something. Many seeds are being sown on a weekly basis!
Seattle also has a very large muslim population and God has blessed us with the opportunity to speak with our muslim friends and tell them the good news of the payment that Jesus made for our sins. We get the opportunity to assure them that they don’t need to depend on their own good works to escape Hell. Jesus paid it all!
The muslim people we speak to have been very polite and receptive and almost always take something from the table. We even have “The Gospel According to Luke”, in Arabic!
As you can see, God is doing many many things. We started out, literally, with a t.v. tray, some New Testaments, a Bible verse book, and some tracts. God has continued to grow this ministry and has allowed us to reach even more people through our website and our channel on Roku. We receive comments from people all over the country and, indeed, from other parts of the world! We received an email recently from a young man in Africa! We were also contacted by someone who found one of the Bible verse books in an apartment in New York City!
Its amazing to see what God does with the seeds He allows us to sow.
Last year was a very good year. We gave away more Bibles, books, videos, and CDs than we ever have before. Our witnessing team also expanded. And we’re still giving out lots of socks and food and Gospel good news to the homeless people of Seattle.
Now here’s the part where we need your help. Up until now, the funds for all of this have been sufficiently provided. However, the demand for God’s Word right now is so great, that we’re having trouble keeping up. We would like to avoid having to scale back our offerings in Seattle.
This is a part of the country that is not only indifferent to the Gospel of Jesus, it is often times, outright hostile. And yet, God is still giving people chances. We would like to continue this outreach into this community that so desperately needs it.
We have always tried to be good stewards of the money that God has given us. We buy our Bibles from a place that is significantly cheaper than all the others. The same is true with the CDs and DVDs that we produce. We also purchase many of the witnessing items from The Way of The Master. These videos and tracts have been very popular.
God has allowed us to provide all these things for free to the people of Seattle. This is a great mission field. There is a tremendous need here.
We would like to ask you to help us in this work. We are missionaries to Seattle, and through our website and Roku channel, to America, and to other parts of the world. God has kindly allowed us to sow His Word in so many places. We would like to ask you to help us steward God’s money for His work.
We have added some PayPal buttons to our website, JesusForSinners.com. They are in the “Please Help Us” section. You can make a one-time donation using the “Donate” button or a recurring monthly donation using the “Subscribe” button.
It may not sound like much, but even 10-20 dollars a month would help a lot. We give out over a hundred socks a month and many many more Bibles and Bible verse books. The CDs we distribute are also incredibly popular. One CD in particular, Paul Washer’s, “Shocking Youth Message” is a great tool for the “almost-christians” we run into. Unfortunately, there are a lot of them in Seattle.
Please pray for us. Please ask God to give us wisdom on how to move forward with this work He has us doing. Please pray for us to always be good and faithful servants and share the soul-saving Gospel of Jesus Christ here in Seattle, across America, and around the world! Thank You…and God bless!
