September & October
2007 partner update God bless you, we hope this finds you resting in, and serving the Lord. In the 1960's through the 70's when sharing our faith with someone, or when
greeting a fellow Christian we would say "one way" and point a finger to the sky. What it meant was Jesus is the only way to Heaven. That was also the era the moral fiber of our Country was beginning to rapidly decay.
Now, thirty-five years later to say we live in a darkened world is an understatement. Over two-thousand years ago Jesus instructed us to be "like a
city on a hill", and a "light on a lamp stand". He was telling us to light the path so others can find their way. As the darkest time of the year is fast approaching now is the time we do just that, be a light.
Ghoulish Halloween masks, Costumes, and candy are already lining the shelves of stores. Multi-millions of dollars are being spent to glamorize 10/31, but we must remember that darkness is simply the absence of light. Order tracts now and begin praying with your family, friends and Church about lighting the way for those in your Jerusalem. God bless you!
A few weeks ago, at the bus stop, I passed out tracts to a large family. They all took tracts and I left for my retirement home church service. On the way I remembered I had Bible story coloring books and I asked the
Lord to allow me to see that family again. After church I needed to do a hospital visit and was craving ice cream. Then I heard that small voice saying, "bus stop!". At the bus stop, I passed out more tracts. The
bus stop crowd changes about every half an hour and I may go there four times in one day. Then, I remembered the visit I still needed to do at the hospital, three miles back. I passed out more tracts and
encouraged some. After my visit and prayer at the hospital, I had forgotten about the ice cream and I headed for the bus stop one more time, where, ''lo & behold!'' there was the big family I had seen that morning.
I gave them coloring books, of which the adults wanted there own (which is not unusual). One child was down the street and as I was leaving, she came running over to get her own coloring book. ...more
- next month. God Bless You!
Brother Dave PRAISE REPORTS

Last month we had a couple, Terri and John who called to see if they could come and get some tracts for a missions trip to Peru. They had several mishaps between their home and getting to our office, Satan definitely did not want them to have our materials with them on this trip. The group arrived in Peru with tracts, as well as Bible story coloring books for kids. God knew they would be there just after the earthquake and they were able to minister to many as well as helping in the hardest hit areas. One of the outreaches was in Ventanilla where more than 400 people attended— the group had to go and get more food,
Praise the Lord!

Please pray for ministry finances. This summer giving was down by 80% and we are scraping the bottom of the barrel, literally. Pray that special gifts will come in soon. V Please pray for our Troops serving overseas away from family. The personal sacrifices they
make help to keep our Nation strong. V Please pray for
your Pastor and church, and how you can be a blessing to them. ð And remember, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much". James 5:16
Emailed 9/22/07Dear ACTS Tracts, Thank you for the recent tracks you sent our church
to reach the neighborhood for Christ, we received 700 tracts from your outreach in English and Spanish as requested from you, Thank you so much, these tracts are a great help to the ministry and I want you to know
several people have come to the LORD as a result of your outreach for Christ......................We still have about 300 tracts left they are going pretty fast...I may request some more a little later down the road,
you are a blessing to us. Right now we putting together an outreach for children in the neighborhood for HALLOWEEN
our theme is "THE HARVEST IS READY".....Would you by any chance have tracts about the evils of Halloween and how to come to Christ "for children"? We need about 300 of these tracts
on Halloween is a bad night since we are going to give out candy bags we thought is would be a good idea to put them in the candy bags we give out and it would lead children to Christ as well as adults.
...THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR OUTREACH FOR OUR LORD JESUS... Yours in Christ, LINDA Emailed 9/21/07 This is totally awesome website, I am planning on using these tracts to hand out at Halloween parties and I know that they will be used for a very good reason. Beth
Emailed 9/18/07I have been called by the Lord to be a light to those around me and gospel tracts will help me evangelize. thank
you. James

in the Southwest. Chaplains from around the country will be there and when we attended three years ago it was very fruitful. Please pray for Rudy and Joyann, their trip, and they make just the right contacts.
