Publishing the Gospelâ€"around the clockâ€"around the world 24-7-365!
October 8, 2016
Dear ACTS Friend,
I am constantly reminded of the words of Jesus who said: "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14).
Today, with all the incredible means of electronic communications the gospel is speeding to the ends of the earth as never before. In harmony with what Jesus said, it certainly appears that the setting of the stage for Christ's return is accelerating. Even so come Lord Jesus!
Until then every Christian needs to be involvedâ€"be it through prayer, financial support, giving out gospel literature, or encouraging friends and contacts to visit gospel websites, including www.actsweb.org and recommending that they subscribe to ACTS Daily Encounter. . .all of which are without chargeâ€"to help reach everyone in the world with the saving gospel of the Lord Jesus Christâ€"the ONLY hope of our sin-sick and lost world.
Furthermore, what is so encouraging is that for so many people of the world English, if not their first language, is a second language. ACTS also has a Spanish gospel website with Daily Encounter (Encuentros Diarios) also available in Spanish.
According to Google statistics, ACTS receivesâ€"on average every monthâ€"visitors to our gospel websites from 194 countries and territories! This is done very inexpensively as our only staff is Joy and myself, and ACTS office is in our home which is free of charge for the ministry of ACTS.
What is also very encouraging is that almost every day of the year we are receiving salvation decision for Christ responses from around the world. We also receive continual feedback from ACTS websites and ACTS daily devotional, Daily Encounter, which has well over a third-of-a-million worldwide subscribersâ€"with 7.5 million Daily Encounters being sent via e-Mail every month!
For example, please note just a few of these responses:
A high ranking military officer in the Pentagon wrote: "Pastor Innes, I can't thank you enough for being the blessing that you are through your ACTS ministry. I work in the Pentagon and start each day with your Daily Encounter. Often I forward it throughout our military organization. [As you have written] I am 'available' to God to be used as He sees fit. What an inspiration!"
John S., a Daily Encounter subscriber wrote saying: "I forward your Daily Encounter to over 70 Christians, and get positive feedback consistently. Many thanks."
From Ghana in Africa, Paul K. of the Presbyterian University College, wrote: "Hello Richard, I chanced on your website and subscribed for your Daily Encounter about six years ago. l am always inspired, motivated and challenged anytime l read your insightful and awesome messages. I trust l am not the only person to have been blessed via your medium. I pray that God Himself will grant you more grace to do more for the present generation and beyond. Should anything make you think twice or want to end this divine call, l believe many Christians will suffer if that becomes your ultimate decision."
By the grace of God this will never be my decision. In fact my constant prayer is that God will enable me to keep publishing the gospel of Jesus Christ until the day He calls me home as I have no desire to ever retire.
The director of our ACTS Australia office writes: "In stark contrast to all who are committed to proclaiming God’s Word and reaching the lost for Jesus Christ, Liberty Counsel reports that: 'The Satanic Temple's extracurricular program for public schools, called the After School Satan Club, is petitioning public school systems for equal access to facilities which allow Christian clubs to meet after school. The primary goal of this organization that is a small group of atheists, is to stop Christian organizations from meeting in public schools, targeting the schools where The Good News Clubs meet.'"
Could you imagine this happening here in the U.S.A.? With the ever increasing anti-God attitude it could come about in the not too distant future? This is even more reason why we Christians need to be totally committed to Jesus Christ and to do everything in our power to reach as many people as possible with the saving gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
To every one of ACTS supporters and prayer partners we want to again thank you for being such a vital part of ACTS gospel outreach via your support that is an investment in people’s lives for all eternity.
Know that your faithful support is keeping ACTS sharing the message of Jesus Christ ACTS worldwide Daily Encounter subscribers every weekday of the year. Untold numbers more receive the gospel via ACTS websites every day of the year.
As already noted, according to Google statistics we have visitors to ACTS gospel websites, on average every month, from 194 countries and territories. We thank God for this incredible opportunity and for all who are recording a decision response for Jesus Christ almost every day of the yearâ€"all year long.
It is folk like you who support ACTS ministry that make it possible for ACTS to keep on spreading the message of Jesus Christ worldwide 24-7-365.
As you stand with us at this time, may God richly bless and reward you in His own abundant way.
Gratefully in Christ,
Dick and Joy Innes
