I am a 100% disabled of the Viet Nam "conflict"; therefor, I seem to spend a lot of my time out at the V.A. Hospital. I had my pack of pocket testaments with me last week during my visit.
I was able to share one with the nurse who triaged me in, and, also one with the lab tech who drew blood. They were both very excited to received the gifts and the opportunity to have the Word with them at all times.
Your generosity has been a blessing beyond my ability to express. May the Lord God shower you and your families with abundant blessings for YOUR gift to me!
Most Sincerely,
Dale M. Wysinger
We use these at out monthly outreaches for Stonecroft. They are a very important part of our program.
I am a food vendor and see a various amount of people every day on my routes. I love to engage others around the Gospel of John through face to face encounters.
I am attempting to reach our Police, Fire, and EMS workers with the gospel of John, as their chaplain. I have been given tremendous access but need resources to work with them. Thank you so very much for your willingness to partner with me in reaching these folks with the Gospel of John. Blessings.
I am soon returning to work and plan on using these gospels of John to try and reach the lost in my workplace. God Bless!
Ten of the gospels of John are in Spanish and those will be going on a mission trip to Guatemala. The other 20 Gospels of John are for use here in the states. I keep one or two pocket testaments in my purse at all times and give them to people who accept them and want to hear or know more. Thank you!
These Gospels of John are for a men's ministry "wild game dinner" we plan to have at our church on March 22nd. We hope to distribute the pocket testaments to the guests.
I work in housing for low income families who really need the Word of the Lord to help them through life. I share with my tenants who learn about Christ with the pocket testaments and your sponsorship help. Thank you.
I have been sharing the gospels of John with people that I come across in my business life who are lost. They don't seem to know where to turn. I have seen wonderful changes in their lives as they are getting to know Christ. Thank you so much for helping to share the gospels of John with people in need!
Hi! I am part of a fellowship at the university for Asian American Christians. This spring break we are heading into the inner-city to evangelize to the homeless there, and we would really like to be able to give out gospels of John to them as well! The sponsorship support is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Hi! I don't have have an experience in sharing the gospel of John yet, but I'm very thankful that the Lord answered my prayer to have the exact materials I need for discipling young people for Christ. It is my joy to undergo the whole PocketPower Boot Camp that I may be able to pass it on to others. Please pray that God will use me more in this ministry of sharing the Gospel of John. God bless!
Hello,
I went out to a local food store. As I approached the cashier, she started scanning my items and I started to sweat; fear came upon me. I started looking at the line behind me and thinking what are these people going to think about me when I share the Gospel of John. But, thank you Jesus, I overcame my fear and did it anyway. Every time I give out the Gospel of John I feel more and more comfortable doing it. Anyway, the cashier girl was young but looked like she was mad at me. When she was finished with everything, she gave me the receipt as I handed over the Gospel of John to her. The reaction was neutral, but I prayed for her so I'm hoping God will touch her heart and she will read it. Then I went to get donuts. I got some coffee, and hash brown potatoes, but the guy forgot about my hash browns and burned them. So, when he made new ones he started apologizing and expecting me to be really mad about it because I was waiting for a while. I told him don't worry about it, you're doing great and handed over the Gospel of John. He is working night shift so I think he will have time to read it. If you read this please pray for me because I really need courage, and that God helps me to make sharing the Gospel of John a habit because I know this is something I'm supposed to be doing. THANK YOU to all the Pocketpower team and everyone who prays. God bless you all.
I like to go to the local college and give Christian materials and now I can even do more by giving the gospel of John pocket testaments out to those who need to hear. Thank you for your sponsorship.
I have just added a new Pocket Testament League member from another church. She is going to use the Gospel of John at a ladies' retreat this weekend!
I like to go out to New York City, every Tuesday by train from NJ. Always before I go out, I say a prayer so God may use me to spread the Gospel. One time I went out and nothing was working out, bad timing, raining outside, and as I was sitting in the train I said to God that maybe sharing the Gospel of John is not for me. I got to NYC, went to church and afterward as I was going to get food, people came up to me trying to start a conversation and I knew it was people that I had to testify to and give them the Gospel of John booklet. The result on my way home was that I was the happiest person alive. I know that sharing the Gospel of John is for me and every Christian out there because that's what we are called to do. If the devil is trying to take you down. Read James 4:7. Be blessed.
Our church sponsors a feeding program for the poor working people, who are mostly of Mexican descent. They have been getting a short devotion along with food, but we decided they need more about the Gospel. So the Pocket Testament is the perfect tool to reach these people.
Thank you so much. I will be giving the Gospels of John during a mission trip to Mongolia in April 2010. Blessings.
I was checking out at a convenience store. I noticed the clerk's name and I called her by name and asked, "How are you today?" She said, "I'm good". I went "fishing". I asked, "Are you a good student?", because she was young like a college student. She said, "No, I'm not a student". I asked, "Are you a good mommy"? She smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a good mommy". I asked, "Are you a good wife"? She said that she isn't a wife, as she was thanking me for my purchase. I said, "Oh, this pocket testament is a very good story and it is true!" By this time, the other young lady, clerk, was looking over her shoulder. The young lady said, "It is the Gospel of John". The other clerk said, "The King James Version, that's good". "I said, "It's very good!" At this time, I thanked them and turned to go. Then I paused and spoke to the second clerk, "Would you like to have a Gospel of John"? She said she would, and I handed a pocket testament to her. With that, I thanked them and joined my wife in our car. I try to start the day with three Gospels of John in my pocket. I had already given one to another person, but I was on my way home to get more "Words of Life".
Two girlfriends and I have prayer time once a week and we decided to put together packets to share with people we run across throughout our day. One packet will be for the homeless with food items and the gospel of John and the other will be more evangelistic with the gospel of John and general information to help them get plugged in somewhere! We are very excited to begin this adventure! Thank you for the Pocket Testament League pocketpower website which allows us to get the Word of God into their hands! We will keep you posted on our sharing experiences!
I manage a family car dealership. For years we have been placing gospels of John in the glove box of every vehicle on our lot. Thank you Pocket Testament League for continuing to provide a great way for people to have access to the gospel.
May God continue to bless your ministry.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful resource. I am part of a team that shares the gospel with all sorts of people; some include college students at the university, homeless and people of other religions. We use the Gospel of John books for people who have understood the message of the gospel and want to learn more about Jesus. Thank you and God Bless the Pocket Testament League ministry!
I have been through a lot in life including a debilitating neurological illness, and I believe that even though I have suffered physically or otherwise, my faith and salvation has kept me alive; and more importantly my love for God!
I plan to give the Gospels of John out in and around our community where our church is. My goal is to give one Gospel of John away each day leading up to Easter.
The youth group from our church is planning to do street evangelism. I came upon the Pocket Testament League website and decided I would order for them these gospels of John to hand them out.
I do lots of evangelistic work in my church neighborhood and at work. As of today, I have also added a link to the Pocket Testament League on my website. This is designed to inspire pastors and lay people to sign up.I really get a joy out of sharing and my prayer is to some day become a sponsor.
Haven't received the Gospels yet
Our church is planning 2 different mission trips to Central America this summer. I plan on giving them these Gospels of John to proclaim the Gospel of Christ! God Bless!
We are planning a free back to school clothing giveaway and I would like to provide the Gospel of John to every child that comes in there. Last year we clothed over 300 children.
As a member of the Christian Motorcyclist Association, I meet a lot of motorcyclists. I try to ask everyone I meet if they have had their bike blessed yet this year. If not we carry on us Bike Blessing stickers for the current year along with a blessing card. After the prayer, I hand them the sticker, card and a Pocket Testament Gospel of John book with a motorcycle on the cover. There are not many bikers who turn down a prayer for safety. I feel good knowing that each one who receives prayer also walks away with Scripture in their hand.
This is my first order. I plan to give some of the Gospels of John to my 17 year old daughter to give to girls she will meet and I want to keep the other pocket testaments in my purse to hand out and in my office to give away.
We are holding a wild game dinner at our church. Due to the economic conditions it has been hard for us to provide for this event. I would like to use the pocket testaments to help us in witnessing to lost men and boys who will attend this event. I appreciate the sponsorship and help you are willing to give us and appreciate your prayers as well.
I am so thankful in the name of Christ Jesus for each and every sincere heart that believes in Christ the son of God and that he is alive today at the right hand of the Almighty Father.
I am planning to leave a gospel of John at a local shop where my baby brother works. The shop is a place where I've observed people are hungry for something; they just don't know what and they proceed to fill that hunger with drugs and idols. I know they are searching. I was once the same way. I will keep you posted.
teaching others about God, how he died and rose again . I gave a Gospel of John that my brother ordered to my friend. She accepted Christ to be her savior.
I'm a letter carrier in an urban area with many Spanish speaking people. I want the Gospels of John to be able to give them as I share my faith.
I'm involved in a group of missionaries for Christ, that ministers to the homeless and street people of downtown Los Angeles, California. We give food, clothes, and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will use these Gospels of John to give hope to those who we encounter.
I am going to speak on missions. I thought this Gospel of John would be a great way to start some of them in their own mission field outside their doors.
We give the Gospel of John to the homeless we meet on the streets here in our town and everywhere we go.
My goal is to share the Word in the Gospel of John at fast food restaurants with young people and those that are homeless.
We live and work in Nicaragua. The Gospels of John will be used when we minister to people either at clinics, schools, or on the street. I would love to have the Gospel of John in Spanish with the League's great covers.
We are a host family for foreign exchange students from Asia and Europe. The most important part of hosting these teens is to be able to share our faith with them! I feel these gospels of John will be a wonderful tool to send home with them.
Thank you for your faithful sharing of resources which enable us to put the Word of God into individuals hands that would otherwise not be able to receive. One individual told us that they didn't want to listen and learn about God but when they began to read the Gospel of John they couldn't put it down and turned their life over to God.
Last month I gave out the Love Gospels on Valentine's Day at the mall. We're going skiing in Colorado this month and I'll hand out the Extreme Freedom cover of the Gospels of John at the resort and in town.
Being "Born Again" is the most incredible feeling. There should be an entire book written on this subject with hundreds of people sharing their experience. I could write a chapter about my feelings alone. As an adult turning my life over to God was a feeling that I hadn't felt since I was being held by mother as a small child. An adult feeling loved and secure and protected by someone is something we're not used to without God. I love seeing the beautiful smiles of people when they are getting baptized. What a joyous experience for all that are present. We get to share in their happiness. Of course it is not about us; It's about HIM, but we've all experienced such wonderful feelings when we were "born again". We love to see someone else filled with the Holy Spirit because we know how they feel. We want to help others take Jesus Christ as their savior, and to have what we have. We want to share the better life with others.
I plan to share the gospels of John with teenagers who have families in bad circumstances. Some have parents on drugs, in jail, etc. and we send our van to pick these teenagers up. Most do not have Bibles, this Gospel of John will be a big help. Thank you very much!
I'll be passing these Gospels of John out during a community outreach project on our campus. Along with door hangers, we're planning on giving these pocket testaments to the homeowners!
We're going to be passing these Gospels of John out to our incoming freshmen during Freshmen Orientations. These pocket testaments make great gifts to our new kids.
I am so thankful for sponsors. The sponsorship shows they have a great love for Jesus and human kind. I love to tell people I share the gospels of John with in hopes it conquers satan and his wryiery ways. Thank you sponsors
We have an outreach ministry into Roxbury, Massachusetts. On March 6th, we walked the streets in the heart of the city and witnessed to dozens of homeless, downcast, and broken people. They asked for and were given the "In God We Trust" cover of the gospels of John. The pocket testaments were received gratefully and opened the door for us to share Jesus' love with them.
I have a basket on my desk at work with these gospel of John booklets. I see a melting pot of folks come through my office over time. In about a 3 week time I am down to 3 pocket testaments left from 20 that I started out with. Clients I see are taking the Gospel of John booklets.
I usually hand out my Gospels of John with a bag of candy, for various service professionals like professional drivers, cashiers, etc. The pocket testament Gospel fits great in a quart sized bag, with a little candy. I cannot drive due to a disability; but God uses that for His Glory. I encounter many professional drivers as a result.
In addition to my usual handout method, I was recently called to do some street evangelism, handing out Bibles on the corner. I am blessed with an excellent New Testament provider, however, I can only get English copies. Houston is an international city and I hate to miss an opportunity due to a language barrier! Thanks to the Pocket Testament League I am armed with Chinese and Spanish Gospels of John to hand out, in addition to my English, and they are thrilled to get them. I hand the Gospels of John out on street corners, and often they get so involved with the Pocket Testament, they don't notice the light change! For example on Saturday, I was out on the corner with my sign. A Chinese man drove up. I said "Hello" in Chinese. He gaped at me and I handed him a Gospel of John. He was thrilled. Today I was out on the corner with the sign and a Spanish speaking fellow drove up with a companion. "Do you have any Spanish?", he asked and thanks to the League, I did! My professional drivers especially enjoy the "street signs" Gospel.
