We are so excited about the DVD project. Up until now, we have been able to deliver 3,165 Gospel DVD’s to 3,165 households. If the average household has 3 people per household, we have essentially been able to give 9,485 people a chance to hear a very clear and concise message of the Gospel. You see, I have learned that you have to use every means available of getting the Gospel message to the people. It thrills me to know that there are people who I would never meet in my lifetime who will have the chance to watch this DVD presentation of the Gospel and hear that Jesus Christ died for them. Our goal is to get this Gospel DVD presentation into EVERY household in our city. Please help us pray for this.
What about the results?
Yes, we are hoping and praying that the Lord will use this so we can see people saved and it can help build our church, however, our primary goal for this project is to give everyone in our city the chance to hear the Gospel. The results are now in God’s hands. Not only do they hear a clear presentation of the Gospel, but they also have the opportunity to visit our website www.estudialabiblia.com which has articles about the Bible, a thorough in-depth Bible study, and also gives them a chance to request a Bible and personal one on one Bible Study. I am able to monitor the website and see who accesses it and where they are from. So far we have had several people from the area where we have been delivering the DVD’s, access the website. We are so excited about this. What that tells me is that they watched the entire DVD. In order for them to be able to access the website, they have to watch the DVD until the end where the website information is displayed. It also tells me that they are hearing a clear presentation of the Gospel. Not only that, but that they are interested enough to take the next step and go to the website. God is using this in a mighty way and we give Him all the Glory! We have also had someone watch the DVD, go to the website at the end and then request a Bible. The address they gave was the exact area where we delivered the DVD. It is thrilling to see what God is doing.
It is always good to have goals and plans, but you shouldn’t let those goals and plans run your life or ministry just because you wrote them on a piece of paper. You need to be flexible, learn how the people are in your area and then conform your goals and plans to the culture, area, and life of the country you are working in. We are still learning. Each day we learn how to better reach the people. One of the things I have come to realize about our city and Spain in general is that it needs much “seeding.” What do I mean by that? It means that the people need to hear the Gospel over and over and over again. It is an illustration used in the Bible over and over. The idea is that of a farmer who is planting crops for the harvest. He seeds over and over so that there will be plenty of crops for the harvest. In the areas where there is not much seed, there will be few crops. However, in the area where there is a lot of seed, there will be many crops for the harvest. Spain is a country where there has been little seed throughout the years. Therefore there has been little crops for the harvest. God has laid on my heart the need to seed and seed and seed over again here in Spain.
