Dear Member:
The results are in!
You entered. You voted. And now we're ready to reveal the winners of our Ice Breaker contest. The first category: Family and Friends. The 3 winners in this group are:
Cyrus W. of Alameda, CA:
Can I share with you the best news you will ever hear?
Cyrus told us, "My involvement in this contest... served as a reminder that I need to be more faithful in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ whenever I can. It's too easy and convenient to simply be nice to others, but when it really comes down to it... if I really desire to love others, I need to tell them that the punishment for their sin is eternal condemnation and that only the love of God, through Christ His only Son, can save."
Julie T. of Ontario, CA:
While on a hospital visit: Can I introduce you to the Greatest Physician ever? Here is His calling card.
When told she was a winner, Julie said that her involvement in this contest, "reminded me of how much fun it can be to find new and catchy ways to introduce the gospel. I count it a privilege to be part of The Pocket Testament League."
Blake M. of Johnson City, TN:
Hey, can I ask you an interesting question? What's the most important thing in your life? What to do you think will be the most important thing when you die? Let me show you some interesting things Jesus said about life here in the gospel of John.
Congratulations to every one of these winners. Each one will receive a beautiful Bible in the version they prefer.
Even though these were the entries receiving the highest number of member votes, we wish to convey our thanks to all participants. Your involvement demonstrates your enthusiasm for sharing God's Word. The results were, in fact, very close.
We pray that you will find ways to use these ice breakers in your own life. Are you gathering with family in your home for Thanksgiving? Why not apply one of these (or all of them!) in that powerful setting? Then let us know how it supercharged your sharing efforts!
Next week we'll share with you the three winning entries in the next category.
