Pot-Bellied Santa
"I once gathered a flatbed truck, a pot-bellied Christian, a rented Santa suit, a large bag full of candy, some musical instruments, carol songbooks, and a megaphone..." |

New Evangelistic Websites
We've created a couple of new evangelistic websites over the past two months (including narniastory.com and tenthousanddollaroffer.com). But one of the most unusual is a site set up to confront those searching the Internet for pornography. When they click to enter it, they're faced with Jesus' words that lust is the same as adultery in God's eyes. Check out: lustadultery.com.

L.A. Fundraising Dinner
We are grateful for all those who attended the Los Angeles fundraising dinner on December 2 for the upcoming Way of the Master Radio program. It's such an encouragement to see what God is doing in this exciting ministry opportunity! (See more pictures here.)
Through the generous support of those who attended, we were able to raise much-needed funds to get this vital teaching on the air and around the world.
We are currently planning a dinner in Dallas with Kirk, Ray, and Todd Friel. We'd love for you to join us if you can. This is a wonderful cause, and it is an unprecedented opportunity to equip Christians around the world to share their faith. If you'd like to support the Way of the Master Radio program, due to begin airing January 2, you can find out more information by visiting WayoftheMasterRadio.com.
King Kong Release
The long-awaited King Kong movie premieres in theaters on December 14. This is a great opportunity to hand out Something to Think About tracts. Their guy (http://www.kingkongmovie.com/) looks pretty close to our guy, don't you think?
Court Case Update
On September 30, after more than two and a half years of daily exercising their First Amendment free-speech rights by preaching outside the local courthouse, Ray and EZ (our General Manager) were banned by a Los Angeles County judge from preaching the gospel on public soil (see www.freespeechrights.com). After filing a law suit, Ray and EZ were notified by their attorneys, from the Alliance Defense Fund, that the original court order had been amended by the judge who issued it. So they went to the police and asked if they could speak, and predictably, a deputy sheriff gave them the amended court order, pointing out that they had to stay "100 feet from any doorway to the courtrooms."
Ray and EZ took the time to measure 100 feet from the doorway to the courtrooms, and to their delight found that it was only 15 feet away from where they used to speak. So the next day Ray politely began speaking to what seemed a receptive crowd of about 50 people, exactly 100 feet from the doorway. A short time later, the deputy sheriff stopped him and informed him that the "doorway" didn't mean "doorway." It meant the beginning of the entrance leading up to the doorway, which was a railing 53 feet away. So they moved back another 53 feet to a distance of 153 feet from the doorway, Ray finished speaking, and then EZ began. A few minutes later, the deputy returned (it would seem that he was being directed by the Court Administrator), and said that they weren't allow to speak anywhere on the property or even approach anyone to give out a free CD or any literature. The case continues--we value your prayers and will keep you informed.
Christmas Special
Don't miss out on the fabulous Christmas Special --ten (yes, ten) books and a CD for just $25! Now you can afford to be generous with everyone. Take the opportunity this Christmas to get the gospel into the hands of those you care about--your unsaved family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. And don't forget the Christians on your list--we have wonderful parenting resources, Evidence Bibles, and other equipping tools to help them reach the lost.

New Training Tool About to Launch

Narnia Tract
Our Living Waters agents in New Zealand, where The Chronicles of Narnia was filmed, sent us this email: "We noticed about 300-400 people standing in a line. Josh asked what the line was and a woman answered, 'We are the cast and crew for the Narnia movie.' Pete ran back to the dorm and got the Narnia tracts, and we unloaded 250 tracts (Smart Cards and Narnia tracts) in less than ten minutes. It was incredible." --Jared L.
Don't forget that this movie is an incredible opportunity to get the gospel into the hands of the unsaved. The Narnia CD has been going like hotcakes, and contains perhaps the clearest gospel message Ray has ever recorded. It is introduced by Kirk and comes shrinkwrapped with quality graphics.
From our UK Agent
Our Living Waters agent in the U.K. wrote to tell us about an executive at Harrods, the world famous department stores:
"The top man [the owner] is an Egyptian (Al Fayed). It was his son who was killed in the same car as Princess Diana. This morning I spoke with a Christian brother who was dropping Million Dollar Bills on the floor of the store yesterday. He was approached by 'the man himself' who had found one. The brother was able to speak to this man about his soul and leave him a Ten Commandments coin."
You never know who will encounter a gospel tract and find eternal life, so be faithful to always have some with you and leave some wherever you go. Their gospel message is applicable around the world!
New Copyright Policy
Due to recent developments and various warranted reasons, it has become necessary for Living Waters Publications and The Way of the Master to adopt and implement a new copyright policy. Our new official policy, effective December 5, 2005, reads as follows: "All Living Waters Publications and The Way of the Master resources are copyright protected.

A Milestone for SOBE
Last month, enrollment in the online School of Biblical Evangelism hit 6,000 students. People from 20 countries are learning and putting into practice the methods of biblical evangelism! We are in awe at what God has done in just a few years.
"This course has really opened my eyes and set me on a grand adventure. Thanks for equipping and training me to do the work of the Lord." --Rick W., IL
