New York, USA - I'm a warrior in the field of Jewish and prison evangelism. Yet, a number of PUNJABI Indians have jobs in my area at gas stations so I am having a great time sharing with them. Hinduism has actually opened the way for many Jewish people to look at Jesus as a wise man and in turn to receiving Him as their Savior. Can you recommend any PUNJABI booklets?

New Delhi, INDIA - This literature will be distributed to people who cannot afford to buy it in areas where Christian literature is hot available (closed countries like QA TAR, KUWAIT, etc..). Thanks.

Olathe, USA - Thanks for your prayers and the info that I ordered (Bible etc.). I must ask that you continue to pray for my PUNJABI Sikh friend, Jaspreet and her family. Several weeks ago, my friend told me that she wanted to learn more about the Bible. She told me that she would like to teach it to her daughter. I have prayed about this and the opportunity to share the Gospel.

Most of these have not heard of the Savior. Many of them are now coming to the Lord but the Bibles available here are too expensive to buy. Please send your list of available literature.


 

Another effective tool has been Gospel Packets in different languages. These packets include a Gospel (usually John), a few Scripture booklets and several tracts/leaflets. Unlike many of us raised in the Western Hemisphere, the South Asian peoples love to read. The Spirit of God can surely use the printed page in blessing to these needy souls.

Finally, we would be amiss not to mention the much valued Gospel Text Mottos, which grace many a wall in many a home throughout South Asia, Europe, North America, and the South Pacific regions. But whatever the tool or the medium. and whether Paul may plant or Apollos water, God alone can give the increase. And we trust him for it - the present and eternal welfare of souls world-wide depend upon His divine work in them.
