The whole point of ministry is, it is to minister to gospel of the grace of God to lost, hurt and dying world. It is to go out into the streets, preach to the lost and remind the saints of the coming Judgment Seat of Christ.
People listening to our King James Bible study broadcasts, Sunday Service and our twice-weekly podcast are up 19%, and that's a blessing. This month, we have added the nations of Japan and Sri Lanka to the list of countries where God has given us an open door to send free Bibles to. We have been here preaching on the streets in Saint Augustine, handing out over one million gospel tracts to passersby since 2012. People continue to get saved, and our NTEB family of Bible believers is growing in leaps and bounds. Our ministry may be growing, but it is absolutely not changing, we remain firmly committed to the original mission.
"And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it." Colossians 4:17 (KJB)
I had a great conversation with a woman named Linda today, she called and told me about some of the things that the Lord has been leading her through, things that have been really challenging her faith. She also told me how she found NTEB, and had started tuning into our broadcasts, and was struck by how strongly we stick to the King James Bible, the old paths and the old ways. She said all those things really made an impression on her, and it made an impression on me as she spoke.
Over the years, I have watched many ministries, pastors and preachers, both online and in real life, start out strong for a season only to then crash and burn. In the vast number of instances, it was because they had forgotten what the whole point of ministry is, it is to minister to gospel of the grace of God to lost, hurt and dying world. It is to go out into the streets, preach to the lost and remind the saints of the coming Judgment Seat of Christ. It is to stand in the gap to see lost people get saved, and saved people put on fire for God.
Aside from our Bible studies, the greatest program we have is our Free King James Bible and Gospel Tract Program, started in my bedroom in 2019, and today shipping out free Bibles to people, pastors, foreign nationals in over 30 countries. Next week, Lord willing, we will reach 25,000 free Bibles sent out in 2022 alone, think about that. It takes thousands of people praying and donating to do it at that level. Not only that, to many of the people who receive our free Bibles, we get on the phone with them, help to answer Bible questions, and pray with them. Linda was one of the people who had received a free Bible, and my conversation with her ministered to me as much as to her because it reminded why I am in ministry in the first place.
The ministry of NTEB is ministering the gospel to the lost and hope to the saints, we do it online and we do it on the streets. We invite you to come and be a part of the what God is doing here, help us to send out more Bibles, and help us to reach more souls while there is still time. Thank you.
