Sample letters:
“Thank you for your recent letter and
‘sample’ calendar. HMP [] is an open prison
and so many men are pleased to pick up a
calendar that is particularly colourful - but
with a message! I can easily foresee at least
50-70 being taken, so if that is possible please
send them to the address below. Thank you
for your support”
“Thank you for the calendars, they were
‘snapped up’! I can easily see another 100/150
being used, if you still have some to spare. We
are an open prison, so men are in and out of
the Chapel all the time, and it certainly gets
the message into their rooms! Thank you for
this service.”
Those who have taken to the streets with NEV
Bibles and calendars to hand out report the
following:
Sis Martha DeLorenzo
(Springfield, Vermont, USA):
“Our New Testament and calendar distribu-
tion went very well (pictured above), in spite
of below freezing temperatures. Many folks
in Springfield were gathered together for a
tree lighting and caroling ceremony, so we
figured it was a good time to do this. Thanks
for this opportunity to reach others with
God’s truth. The 100 calendars you sent have
almost all found homes, and the few remain-
ing will be gone soon.”
Bro Charles Abel (UK) and others have also
been out on the streets with good response.
Charles writes: “Oh, we of little faith! Headed
to Crawley today to hand out free Bibles and
Creation Calendars with Julie, Sam, Andrew
Downton, Margaret Quaife and Dawn Skinner
- fearful the rain would dampen our efforts.
How wrong we were! God, in His wisdom,
ensured nearly every shopper walked right by
us along the one covered walkway beside
Queen’s Square. Amazing how many people
were interested and willing to take a copy -
we ran out of Bibles and Calendars in under
an hour! Bit too wet for lots of pics though.
Same again next Saturday, in Worthing, God
willing...”
In Worthing the following week …: “We gave
out 250 calendars, all with literature flyers
inside, and a number of complete Bibles, and
had a number of short conversations with peo-
ple and some street praying too. It was a really
joyous afternoon, so uplifting, and all com-
pleted in little over an hour, which just shows
what is possible. We’re planning to do more in
Horsham and maybe Horley next weekend.”
