I am a missionary on furlough with World Venture and am currently working at a food pantry which is part of the First Baptist Church in Toms River, NJ ministry. This food pantry is open on Wednesdays and feeds over 1,100 people monthly. As well as giving food to the poor, they also present the gospel but don't have any gospels to give to the food pantry people. It is my heart's desire that we would be able to put the gospel in the hands of those that we are sharing the good news with at the food pantry.
there is a few folks that pray on the front steps of our church.and I would like to share the good news with the people that pass by.
I was looking at the Sponsorship Page last night and i wa string to find it and I was not able to but I prayed for the prayer requests and at the same time for afriend and as soon as I was finished iwas able to find the page and I have placed my order. I wish i will be able to get my order so that I will be able to go out on Sunday August 31 to do some outreach. and Evngelism. B.H Toronto
I am a student at Taylor University and will be doing a ministry in the local prison. We will be going to do weekly chapel services with the preaching of the Word.
I know that God will use us in awesome ways and plan to share these Gospels with the prisoners. Pray that "the captives would be set free" and people would come to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
I work in a shipping department and meet truck drivers all the time. I enjoy giving them the Gospel of John "in a handy-dandy pocket size edition." Today when I gave one to a driver I'd never met, he started to cry and said:"You don't know how much this means to me. God has really been blessing me the last two days." He didn't elaborate further, as he was emotional. He then said, "Keep up the good work." This, of course, was a monumental blessing to me. We just never really know what an impact these wonderful Gospels can have. I believe in Heaven we'll find out!
I plan on keeping the Gospels in my car (and some in my purse) so that I have them readily available to hand out to people.
My name is Sterling and I am a Child Life Specialist at Celebration ER. We enjoy having these gospels for we are a religous based hospital, sharing the ministry of Christ. This is how we share to the children. Thank you!
I gave one of the gospels to my dad. After reading it, he bought a Bible and is reading it every day. Please pray for His salvation.
My current order is Spanish gospels. I am taking them with me on a mission trip to Nicaragua. Pray that they will have an impact on this country.

I have a monthly occasional sale and place these out for people to take. I also leave them in bathrooms in places where I shop.
God has put it on my heart to minister to the Spanish people population. I witness to these people on the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. It is good to have something of the Word of God to give to these people after a witness or leading them to the Lord as most do not have a Bible in their home.
OUR CHILDRENS GROUP WILL BE FEEDING HOMELESS PEOPLE IN OUR AREA IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAND OUT THE POCKET TESTAMENTS WITH THEIR MEAL.
I plan on putting together some food baskets for some needy families where I live and placing "Food For Life" booklets with the contents. Also, my husband is a construction worker and I am giving him "Blueprint for Life" booklets to pass out to other workers on the construction site who really need Jesus in their lives.
We have staerted a young girls ministry at our church and have been encouraging them to share the gospel with other young women. This would be a great tool to help them do just that.
I find people who normally do not have a lot in life, except for a lot of lifestyle baggage that is.
sometimes they dont have a home, are addicted to things, or are victims- well in short; my wife (Brenda) and I constantly are looking for ways to love unlovable people into the Family of God...this is how we will be useing these Gospels.
Thank You for helping us to live our lives as
Friends of Heaven & Enemies of Hell

There are students in the Youth Group that I'm in that have parents who neglect them and they don't feel loved and we're trying to embrace these students with all the love that God embraces us in and show them the Love of God by setting an example. I just want to be able to hand these out to the students and put them our for display for anyone that wants one. I really appreciate what you folks are doing!
In Christ.
I have been ordering Gospels off and on for a year. I was VERY happy to find the new ones geared at pre-teen/teen girls.
Our daughter will be attending a pageant in September and one Gospel is going into a goody bag for each contestant.
I use the gospels when I go to the nursing homes and hospitals to share the gospel also used for street ministry and for children and there parents to witness to my neighbors. Also during the holloween season I pass out tracks to the parents and teenswhen they come to my door.
very effective I heard from one wild her mom enjoyed reading the track I gave her.
I am unemployed at this time and in the area I am in Cleveland its getting hard to obtain a position as fast as I would like but soon will be on my feet and plan to donate in the future to this worthy cause. Thank you so much for Loving God so much by offering this ministry to others.
I gave one to one of the ladies at my church. A few days later a male took sick where she happened to be. She sat next to him and read to him from the pocket testament I had given her. It helped to calm both of them down and the gentleman ended up getting up and feeling fine.
Gospels used in State Fair ministry outreach program have given opportunity to share with many in a community that reaches across the state and beyond.
I did my first Outreach and was speaking to a young lady that needed to be prayed for, we began to pray for her and she just cried and cried. She asked that we pray for unification of her and her daughter so I invited her to our church and 5 minutes later her husband comes running saying he also would like to come to the church. Needless to say the comforter came to her that day and we know her prayers will be answered.
People who are homeless applying for shelter.
Jesus is their Lord and Saviour. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE THEM. THEY MUST PUT ALL THEIR FAITH IN JESUS.
The Lord has given me the grace and strength to survive an unwanted divorce after a 38 year marriage....I want to share Christ and bear more fruit for Him. Thank you.
I plan on praying over each gospel track and allow the Holy Spirit to direct. After I witness to 30 people in the next 30 days I will reorder and God willing have a sponsor
A relationship with God is beautiful thing. I want to use these books to share that with others. I want everyone to know about how great God is.
Thank you Pocket Testament League for making available these handy Gospels. I love Jesus and try to witness any chance I can and by giving these away free, I am enabled to not only talk about Gods Word to hurting people but also to give them the very Good News of the Gospel. I have ordered 50 so far and have ordered 30 more today plus I'am giving $30 over the asked amount to help in the giving of more Gospels to those who can't afford to order at this time. May God continue to Bless the PTL and their ministry of spreading God's Word.
I will be going with some friends to local youth group's and youth playroom's, I would love too have these too share with the young lady's.
Thankyou
Ruth
Someone gave me one of your books when I was in a waiting room for a doctor and openly shared some real pain in my life. I want to always carry at least one with me and to share them with people who could benefit. It made my day!!!
: )
We have a gigantic trade's day in Canton, Texas the weekend prior to the first Monday of every month. Our Church plans on going to First Monday and witnessing, praying for, and passing out these gospels to people.. This gives us the opportunity to reach a very large amount of people.
I am buying these children's gospels for my church's young members' Sunday School class. They will enjoy the pictures and will better understand the Gospel of John. Thanks for [printing this wonderful addition to our children's religious learning!
I have found that after praying over my Gospels that I put by the door everyday, that while at the Wal-mart or grocery store that the cashier will almost always take one when offered and the tired person who watches at the door for security will always take one. I am a senior so I don't go out a whole lot but when I do God always allows me to give at least 4 Gospels away everytime. Yesterday I was buying money orders and when the cashier had finished helping me I asked her if she would like a Gospel of John and she said "yes" and I turned to the person behind me in line an asked if she wanted one and she was very happy to have it. So I thank God that through these Gospels he is opening doors into peoples hearts who are hungry for Him.. Gary
I will be using these gospels for those in the military who have not access to any type of gospel while overseas.
I have been sharing Pocket Testaments with the Bikers and Truck Drivers in my Community, they are always asking for extras to share with others. The Testaments fit perfectly in their back pockets and that say they have been reading them on their breaks.
We have several girls in our neighborhood who I think would enjoy receiving the "Chosen Girls" gospels. It's just one more way we can impact our neighborhood for Christ.
First, I'd like to say thanks for having an evang. boot camp. Only doing 2 lessons so far, they are well put tog. in truth, uplifing, and encouraging to share more of this wonderful gift. I had been giving these out before this eveng. boot camp, and will continue to. Working more on my 2 sent. testamony. Letting God tell me 5 people, right now only 1 has come to mind, so going to go with that and others when directed to do so. The person who came to mind, Andrea, will be sent a card and book of John in the mail. I will ask her if she wants to get together and catch up and go from there as to how she responds. We used to be neighbors, and have been planting seeds in her life for a few years. Hope your all blessed deep within your soul for all you are doing for Christ, and turn that right back around into prasing our God!
I believe I've shared this before, but I'm a Chaplain with Motor Racing Outreach Association. My wife and I travel from race track to race track across the country, as the Lord has called us to a "Traveling Church." We minister to people who race cars as a hobby and have requested a Chaplain be with them. Pocket Testaments have been given at Chapel services and to people in the Paddock areas as they prepair to race their cars. They have been very well received, and we hope to distribute 1,000's more!! It is by the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ we are able to do this and we pray He continues to bless our efforts.

I do evangelism on the Ocean City boardwalk. I hold up a sign that says "Are you going to heaven? Take free test." In the course of a night I might talk to 25-80 people. It's really quite amazing how God is using my silly sign. If a person is tracking or expresses belief, I hand them a Gospel of John.
My four kids and I hand out cold bottled water, cookies and these wonderful tracts to large groups of day laborers around Houston. All the men are reading the tracts as we're driving away!
These Gospel's are helping to build/grow God's Word in our new Church- Greatest Commandment Ev. Christian Church here in Plano,Texas
Blessing's,
Pastor Certain
Mark 16:15
We go to a shopping center once a week to witness and hand out gospels. There are usually a lot of hispanic people there so to have the gospel of John is a wonderful gift to give them. Thank you.
I do men's ministry in churches and in camping experiences.
I have been distribuing the Ready References since 1980 when I was introduced to them as a young disciple. They have helped men around the country in times when they don't know what to read--but the Bible is tugging them towards the Father. They open the Bible we probably gave them--and they find the RR right at the front--and viola! They have a directory to find the places where they can most experience His word and be helped. Thanks for continuing to make these available.

Last week I visited China Town in Montreal , and stod in the street singing with my group of young people in English in the market , many asked to have a copy of the bible in chinees.
I WANT TO SHARE GOD'S WORD WITH PEOPLE I COME IN CONTACT WITH IN DAILY LIFE. I ALSO
SHARE THESE LITTLE BOOKS WITH OUR PRAYER GROUP SO THEY ALSO CAN SPREAD GOD'S LOVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH
The summer is almost gone here, and We just want to share the gospel as much as we can, our Pastor at church decided that every afternoon after our sunday service we will go to share the gospel. The other day we went to a park and i had like 60 gospels and they were really helpful I share them with the group. at the park we found some other brothers and I also gave them some pocket testament and I encourage them to share the gosper too and suscribe to the league!.
God is awesome !
My church is starting an evangelism team and I am on the leadership team. I am thinking about training the youth in evangelism.
I am a full time student who is moving away to college. I plan to use these gospels as a tool to show the light of Christ to other students while im there.
I pass them out in various settings...people who buy sheep from me, at restaurants, motels, Good News Clubs, at occasionally at parent conferences, often in hospitals etc. etc.
These will be offered to persona at checkout counters in grocery stores where I shop. I regret I am not yet able to donate and deeply appreciate the contributions of others, but my goal is to get current on my bills and urgent debts so I can do more to support this and other ministries. Thank you so much.
I GO WITH A GROUP TO A CHILDREN'S ABUSE CENTER FOUR TIMES A YEAR TO DO CRAFTS AND SHARE GOD'S LOVE. I ENJOY GIVING OUT THE LITTLE GOSPELS OR NEW TESTAMENTS TO THE CHILDREN. MANY OF THE CHILDREN START READING THE GOSPELS RIGHT AWAY. SOME ASK FOR ANOTHER ONEFOR SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY, USUALLY FOR THEIR MOMS. OFTEN IT'S THE ONLY BIBLE THEY HAVE EVER SEEN. THEY ARE HUNGRY AND EAGER FOR GOD'S WORD AND HIS LOVE.
I plan to use your Gospels on the street as i meet people and at WAL-MART as i go shopping. Without your gracious sponsors I could not do what I do.
I plan to do an outreach activity for youth and children and make small packages that will include these bibles and other tracts. Thank you.
