Christian Tract Outreach

Our work in INDIA began several years ago when Pastor EPHRAIM PENUMALA, in TANALI, ANDREA PREDESH, contacted us, asking if we could help him and his linked pastors with tracts for their outreach work in that area. As we have said elsewhere, we first started mailing the materials to him in English, but as the cost of doing that was very high, our supply to him was very small. We then asked him if it would be possible to have the printing done there, and when he arranged that, we forwarded funds to him for that purpose. Also at that time he asked if we would allow him to translate the tracts into his native language of TELUGU, to which we, of course, were delighted to agree. Also, we are very thankful to the printer he has lined up for us.

So now, by the grace of our wonderful God, the work has gone from strength to strength. However, it is very important to remember that our part in this great outreach is very small, Pastor Ephraim and his 60 linked pastors do all the hard, dangerous work. The following are some encouraging emails we received from EPHRAIM, who is, incidentally, the Principal of SOUL 2 SOUL MINISTRIES in that area of INDIA.

 The following are extracts from some emails we received from Ephraim;

7^th March 2012, Tanuku, Andhra Pradesh

I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ, thank you for serving the people of God, may the Lord Jesus continue to bless you. I write to introduce myself and the ministry to you. I am John Benton and am a bond servant of the Lord and directing JESUS SAVES WORLD MINISTRIES here in India to win the lost at any cost. It is after much prayer and thoughtfulness that the love of God has constrained us to send you this mail, hoping and trusting that it will find you in the best of health and rejoicing in the goodness of the Lord. I am humbled by the kind of work the Lord is using you to do as his servants and at how the Lord can connect His people.

I looked at your Website and then it moved me to ask you for partnership and the right hand of fellowship. If the Lord allows you, can you come over here and be with us in a Leadership Seminar and a series of Revival Meetings we are planning for the glory of our Lord.
First off I want to say thank God for He has truly given you a gift and has blessed you with a wonderful Ministry. I pray God continues to bless you for what you are doing. Your giving & caring will never go unrecognized. The Lord sees all and is very pleased.
Secondly, thanks to you and your commitment as well as dedication to your service to our country. Great to see that you recognize the Creator, Sustainer, the omnipotent God and His Son, Jesus Christ! I trust you have a personal relationship with Him. PRAISE THE LORD!
Gospel Literature plays a very important role in our entire ministry. Through the Gospel Literature Ministry, we are trying to meet the needs of all people, as follows: Gospel Tracts to the Unbelievers, Bible Teaching Materials to the Believers, Gospels to School and College Students, and Helpful Material to the Gospel Ministers.

We have published some gospel tracts in Telugu language. COME TO THE LORD, REPENT, BAPTISM, SALVATION, ETERNAL LIFE & BLESSINGS etc. are widely distributed in many parts of our State, Andhra Pradesh. We supply the gospel literature to many Evangelists, Pastors & Bible Women for door-to-door evangelism, street rallies, and Bible Study groups etc. Every day, we are receiving many requests from various Churches, Fellowships & Ministries for the Gospel tracts and other Bible study materials. God is changing lives through our Gospel tract distribution program. The wonderful testimonies which we are receiving every day will reveal the importance and effect of the Gospel literature in India.

"As long as there are millions destitute of the Word of God and knowledge of Jesus Christ, it will be impossible for me to devote my time and energy to those who have both". (J L Ewen)

"Why should so few hear the Gospel again and again when so many have never heard it once?" (Oswald J Smith)

Every day, millions of untold people are dying without knowing about Jesus Christ. There is a great need for evangelization in India. To fulfil the Great Commission of our Lord and to evangelize the unevangelized through CHRISTIAN TRACT OUTREACH. We are going forth with the message of God's love, sometimes by bicycles and more often on foot, walking through the zigzag jungle routes, deep valley rivers and conducting street rallies, open-air evangelism, gospel tract distribution, personal evangelism, door-to-door evangelism, and making appeal to every person to accept Christ as the Lord of their lives.

You cannot go to every village, but our evangelists and Outreach missionaries can go. Please send us to the unreached interior villages, on behalf of you. We also invite you to come and serve the lost along with us, on short-term missionary trip. You can really become a great tool of blessing in many lives.
May God continue to bless as you continue to serve the Lord and the world. Your Indian son in Christ,
BISHOP JOHN BENTON, Director, JESUS SAVES WORLD MINISTRIES, P. O. BOX 24, TRAIN STATION ROAD, TANUKU 534211, ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA.

Brothers Danny & Terri, yesterday (3-9-11), our 4 districts pastors are gathered at my town and we prayed for 2 hours, then we discussed future plans of our tracts ministry to these 4 districts. Our tracts have saved more souls, including Hindu and Muslim families. Our 4 districts pastors send this request asking for 10,000 Telugu tracts for each district each month. Our pastors visit some more remote villages once or twice weekly, plus hospitals and educational centres, bus stands and railway stations to their areas, and they distribute our tracts and preach the word of God and win souls through our tracts ministry. So our pastors are sending the above request for your kind notice. Please consider their request prayerfully and send your kind reply to me. God bless you richly. Pastor Ephraim Penumala

My dear brother Danny & Terri, yesterday, a man came to my home and he told me his name was Mohan Rao. (Hindu) He said;

 

“I was sick last month and was admitted to hospital at Tenali. Doctors told me my health condition is not good and that I had only a few days to live. My family members and I wept bitterly, and we pray to my idols, but no change in my health. Unexpectedly you and your team come to my hospital to distribute some Telugu tracts and you pray some sick people. You prayed for my condition, and I heard you preach the word of God, and immediately I agree that Jesus Christ is my Saviour. Now I am just happy in my mind. After two days my health condition was improved and the doctor checked me and he told me the wonderful news that I was much better. After one week I was discharged from hospital, and my health is now good. I believed our Lord Jesus Christ has touched and healed me. We are Hindus, but now my family and I accept that there is only one God, Jesus Christ. Please, would you and your team visit my home tomorrow night and conducted a thanksgiving meeting there.”

Brother, I am very happy for our tracts ministry in hospitals. Tomorrow, my team and I will visit our brother, Mohan Rao's home near my town (35 KMs distance). Please pray for this cottage thanks giving meeting. God bless you richly. Thanking you brother, Ephraim Penumala
