A Bible Falling Apart Belongs to Someone Who Isn't

This week Ken McGhie, our First Nations Bible coordinator, told us the story of how he went to visit a fellow in the hospital. The fellow in the hospital bed had received one of our Bibles and it was so well read that it was tattered and falling apart. He wouldn't go anywhere without it. Do you value the Word of God in such a manner that your Bible is falling apart? It is so true that a Bible that is falling apart belongs to someone who isn't. Something to think on this weekend.

A Letter in the Mail

Today we got a letter in the mail from a lady who was SO thankful we had given her a Bible! I believe this was her first time reading a Bible. She said it was very interesting and she was excited to read more! In our society where the average Christian home owns multiple Bibles, it's easy to forget that not everyone has access to Bibles in Canada. Let's be intentional about reaching out with the Good News of Jesus! Who can you bless with a Bible today who may have never read it before?

Did You Know?

Did you know that according to a Barna Group study, 84% of people still prefer to read a paper copy of the Bible as opposed to a digital or audio version? There is such a huge need for people to have a physical copy of God's word in their hands! Here at Canadian LifeLight Ministries we are committed to getting the Word of God into the hands of everyone who wants one. Particularly, our most recent efforts have been focused on getting our new First Nations Bible into the 619 First Nations communities across Canada. Did you know that according to the Canadian government there are 901,053 First Nations people in Canada? About 47.4% of those people live on reserves. What a huge mission field! 

Will you help us get the good news of Jesus out to these First Nations communities? We need people to sponsor Bibles, as well as people willing to travel to these communities to hand out Bibles. Call us at 1-866-447-9673 or email us at johanna@lifelightministries.org to find out how you can help today!

MissionFest tour

On a recent Mission Fest tour, our project facilitator, Ken McGhie, came back and had these things to report:

•   A Native woman at a church in Edmonton clutched him by the hand and with tears in her eyes said, "Please do what you can to get this Bible out to my people."

•        A young native man named Aaron from that same church had tears in his eyes when he said he was a foster child who was so glad to receive this First Nations New Testament Ken had given to him earlier in the service.

•        The Chaplain, Charles, at Prince Albert Penitentiary said the First Nations New Testament was well received and some of the fellows just rejoiced upon receiving it!

•        Gordon Hausteader, an evangelist to First Nations communities, reported that the Bible was well received in Saddle Lake, AB and they are looking for more to come, hoping to start a First Nations Bible school!

•        A Metis lady from Winnipeg said she really appreciated and approved of the First Nations New Testament and said, "Praise the Lord!" She wanted one to share with someone she knew and knew it was going to be an open door for Salvation.

Sharing God's Light in Cuba

A man walked in today looking for Spanish New Testaments & booklets, but he felt compelled to share a story from one of his previous trips to Cuba.

One time he was in Cuba, handing out stuff at a convention, and a man approached him asking to see what he had. He was a little nervous wondering if this man was a spy, but he gave him one of his Spanish New Testaments to look at. The man looked at him like he was crazy, then went on his way.

Twenty minutes later, the man came back and said, "Where did you get these?" The man told him how he brought it from Canada, and the man said, "Thank you, Senor! I have been looking for one of these my whole life!" Praise God! You are so Good!

This is just encouragement to share God's Word with others regardless of how you think they may react; you are either planting a seed, or reaping a harvest as a worker in God's field! Be Blessed!

Blessings,

Roxy F.

Evangelism Encouragement

Recently, I was speaking to one lady who takes our Bibles to the malls, churches, and downtown streets and she shared some great stories of evangelism! Here are a few:

 ☺She gave a Bible to a security guy at a Pub once, and she was surprised that he was thankful to receive one; he was thinking of going back to church as his mom used to take him as a boy. What a great way God uses us to lead someone back!

☺One time she dropped off Bibles at a jewellery counter and ended up making friends with the ladies there after becoming a familiar face. She came back one day and noticed one of the small Bibles she gave lying in a jar, so concerned she asked if they had read it. They told her that they leave it there so they can read it on their breaks! Amazing!

☺This is just a friendly reminder not to judge in advance who will accept a Bible or not, as it is God who knows and who is preparing the hearts of those who will receive Him as Savior. God Bless her and all who share their faith!

​Blessings,

A Phone Call Away

Today, I received a letter from one of our supporters- the wife of a man who used to walk in to our Winnipeg office all the time, picking up Bibles for giving away. He passed away recently, and I offered my condolences. I knew him for  a short time since I've worked here and was wondering when I would see him next - now I knew why I had not seen him for a while. 

His wife told me how they've been ministering to people in Osborne for 22 years, every 2 weeks as volunteers at a food bank. They would pick up some of our large print Bibles and hand them out to those who used the service. It was so encouraging to hear, and though it is never easy to lose someone close to us, she was at peace knowing he is with Jesus now. Praise God!

As an extra blessing, she mentioned how she was feeling down this morning, but one of two good things happened this morning, and one of them was me calling her! I was so happy to hear that, and thank God for leading me to call her. There is always a gentle nudge in our spirit when God wants us to do something, so its important that we listen. Comfort may be just a phone call away!

​God Bless!

LifeLight Ministries & Mission to Mexico

I'm jotting down some great memories of when we started our ministry walk with Jesus, and you guys have been with us every step of our journey.


We started about 15 years ago working with the children of the dump in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, so of course we required Bible tracts and Bibles to bring the Word to these poor souls, so lo and behold Lifelight Ministries came to life on my computer and they were more than happy to help us out on our quest.   
The pocket Bibles that you guys provided have certainly been very valuable; the people in Mexico that have received your Bibles certainly feel that they have been totally blessed.  
This year we have been given some time off, by God of course, but we still do local outreach, in parking lots, malls and the best is the local casino.  
When the people come out of the casino, and they are broke most of them, my tracts called Help From Above certainly fits in so well, and if their need is great then I give them one of your very valuable Bibles, 
Hope For The Highway.  I cannot possibly express our gratitude and thanks for everything that LifeLight Ministries have done in supplying the Bibles that we need to bring the Word of Jesus to the masses, we try hard to be good farmers and get the most seeds out there, it is amazing at the number of poor souls that are wanting to learn and are willing to listen to us, but the best part is having your Bibles available to help them to understand their new walk with Jesus.  
Gail and I will continue to pray for your great ministry. 
May you continue to be able to manufacture the Bibles, and be given the availability to help with all of the many ministries that are out here, with all of the trials and tribulations going on in our great world, the need is great and will continues to get worse, at least until Jesus comes to sort out this sad world that we live in.  
So just remember that every Bible that you print it will certainly bring His Words to them that are in need! God Bless and keep you all,

                 Gary and Gail S.

Bibles for the North End

Here's an encouraging story from one of our advocates:

"God is good. He's placed me in one of the roughest parts of the city, and I've been led by the Holy Spirit to do the Lord's work. All around the North End I've been handing out Bibles and encouraging people with my testimony. I've found that the response has been fairly good. Some people are very warm and welcoming and some aren't, but all in all I handed out 100 Bibles in just 2 days. I give all glory to God and I thank LifeLight Ministries for helping me do the Lord's work. Without them none of this would be possible, so they're definitely playing a major role in my mission work and what the Lord is doing in my life in getting these Bibles to people who don't know Christ. I hope to continue with LifeLight Ministries for the near future, and I pray that God will bless them in all that they're doing."

Movie Night

​A letter from Paul Janz:

"​Yes, t​

he movie night went well. Even an unsaved neighbour came with his daughter.  We showed "Thirst" on a large 16' wide X 9' high screen, so it had a theatre type feel. The crowd got into the movie and really enjoyed it.

Two people came forward at the invitation to accept Christ. I gave out 5 or 6 NLT New Testaments afterwards.​"

We are so happy to be able to be able to give Bibles for events such as this one where people can learn more about Jesus and choose to take a Bible if they are ready. What a blessing!

- R.Fuchs​

Note of Encouragement

Today I received a mailed insert from one of our LifeLight New Testaments.  This is what the lady had to say, "I have been reading my Bible since 1971 and I think the LifeLight is a very easy read & (has) great pictures, too. God Bless all those involved with the printing of this book."

We put these inserts in our LifeLight New Testaments as a return card people can use to comment or request a free Bible correspondence course. Whether from a seasoned Christian or a new believer, these are always appreciated as they bring encouragement to our ministry and help us to know what God is doing through our ministry of His Word. God Bless you all!

Scripture for Hindi

On the way from Toronto to Winnipeg I met a couple of Indians who have been living in Toronto for 25 years.  I offered them a LifeLight Find God New Testament.  They said they could not read English but their children could and they gladly accepted my gift.

Your support makes an eternity of difference.

Request for Study Bible

Greeting to you in the precious name of Jesus Christ.

My name is Lalrinpuia Renthlei, I'm from India. I'm living in Mizoram, one of the North Eastern states in India. It is located in a remote and tribal area. I have been doing Biblical studies at one of the Bible school that located in our neighbouring state since 2012. Our school fees and the expenses of travelling from my home to our school are too high for my family. For instances, I can't buy study materials for my studies and even its hardly to access internet to help my studies. But, I wish to continue and complete my studies even though I
do not have enough money.

So, Please help me and send me GREEK-HEBREW KEY WORD STUDY BIBLE if
possible. It is not available to purchase here.

I request you kindly to accept my letter. I'm waiting for your kind response. My mailing is as given below.

If you are interested in helping this lady please go to www.DonateBibles.net and mark it for students in India.

Find God: Living Water in Portage

I was in (the Winnipeg office) several weeks ago to pick up another box of Bibles: The New Testament called, "Find God". I was asked to send in a story of what we do with the Bibles here at Portage Evangelical Church. 

We have given out four cases of those Bibles around our community here in Portage la Prarie. We covered many streets around our church, knocked on all but a few doors, where we did not find someone home. Some people refused the Bibles ( though those were very few). Inside each Bible we had a note that was written by our pastor. In several of the homes, people were invited in.

Some good discussion took place.

Though we have not had anyone come to church from this outreach, we have given the Word of God to many homes, and trust that people were drawn to open the Bibles. We also keep these Bibles here at the church and have given them away to  people who wander in here. We are on a busy street and sometimes just have people pop in here, for all types of reasons.

 

I personally am involved in a immigrant ministry here in Portage.

I have given away a lot of Bibles to people that I meet and have connections with Muslim, Hindu, New age, Catholic, and Jewish families. I have been able to have many conversations with them.

Bible giveaway!

When we got to the airport we had 4 Find God New Testaments left over and the bags were overflowing already.
So I offered one to the car rentals supervisor.  He was glad to get it.  The fellow just leaving on his break wanted one too. He told me he would read the first chapter right away.
The other attendant on duty also wanted one.  That left me with one to give away in flight.
When I got to security the older gentleman that was clearing carts, a Hindu, was happy to get my last one.
Now I'm on the plane, ready to fly.

Sharing the Gospel in Cuba

Today I just want to share with you the power of God's Word - in Cuba! I was speaking with a man who travels to other countries and gives out tracts. Well one time he went to Cuba, where he sat down at a bar with some tough looking guys. He decided to give each man a hat as a gift, and stuck a tract in each one inside the brim. Then a day or two later he came back and those same men were there, and instead of hurting him, they were giving him hugs and thanking him for the gifts! He said it is unheard of for Cuban men to show affection so this was amazing to see, and God's Word in the Spanish tracts had clearly affected them. He got such great response among the many other people he gave tracts to as well, and people were in tears they were so happy to hear the Good News! 

This man is one of many individuals who go out into the world to do the Great Commission and it is a pleasure to be able to supply tracts and Bibles to my Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Keep spreading the Word, and changing lives! Thanks!

Blessings,

R. Fuchs

Fwd: Scriptures in Alaska

Whenever and wherever we travel we take a dozen copies of The LifeLight or Find God with us for distribution. 

We often leave one in the room with a note to the cleaning lady and a tip.

I had my shoes shined at the Denver airport.  When the man was done I paid him.  Then God reminded me that I had a Find God in my briefcase and to give it to this gentleman. He was very busy with the next customer already, but when I offered him the New Testament, he was very appreciative.

Free Bibles

When people hear the word 'free' they tend to get excited, and so it was no surprise to me when I listed some free bubble wrap on Kijiji.com that I got a ton of responses from people all wanting some. I kept it fair and offered a roll to the first two people who inquired. So the other day, I had a couple come in for some bubble wrap and I was able to offer them a free Bible as well, in order to bless someone else in their family! 

Then, the next day a man came in to pick up some bubble wrap and he received a free Bible for his daughter! What a blessing it is to share God's Word with others! I am truly thankful for this ministry and the ability to say to someone, "Would you like a free Bible?" There is nothing better than the free gift of Salvation, and we are able to help others come to the knowledge of Christ and His free gift through Canadian Lifelight Ministries. Amen!
