Open Doors During Christmas: Sharing Spiritual and Physical Food for the Hungry
/An Open Door
You never know what type of opportunity the Lord will bring your way until you ask. We prayed for a way to be able to share hundreds of Gospel tracts in the short period of time that we would be living here. He made a way!
So long as we attached labels identifying where the gifts were from, they would not only allow us to share the Gospel tracts but also help us distribute them by providing their place as a pick-up point of needy people. Not only did we not need to be there to hand them out but they would use their personnel to assist in that manner! What a great opportunity it was to reach out to needy people during this season and give them one of the greatest gifts of all --- the message and hope in our Saviour Jesus Christ!
More Ways than One
We have been so excited about the tracts from Living Waters ever since we learned about their ministry and the effectiveness of them. It's amazing how much people can see their need for a Saviour when they see how they fall short in the light of the Law.
There are various types of tracts that cover God's amazing Creation as well as use illusions to show how we can be easily deceived. These tracts are so good that people have even asked us for more! At one point, I ran out of a specific type of tract while trying to give enough of a particular one everyone was interested in! Another time, a lady came up to me and asked me if we had any more so that she could give it to her co-workers. We were so thankful we had our tract wallet with us and were able to do that!
The Way of the Master and Living Waters Publications Ministries provides a lot of free sermons, tools, and resources online.

The Value of Human Life
The 180 Movie that the ministry provides for very little money not only has a powerful message illustrating God's value on human life but also presents people the Gospel message through various encounters with individuals. It is shocking and controversial documentary that has some graphic images from the Holocaust.
