Intelligent Design Versus EvolutionExciting New Book
You may have read the powerful and convicting letter from an atheist in The Evidence Bible. Someone asked how he responded to him. Seven years ago, Ray and that atheist exchanged emails. The correspondence was so interesting, Ray kept them. He recently found the file, and became so absorbed in the letters he sent them to one of his publishers, and they loved them. Then over millions of years, Intelligent Design Versus Evolution evolved. As an extra, we've included an updated “Science of Evolution” DVD on the inside cover of each book. (The updated DVD includes a much better, and longer, witnessing sequence with an evolutionist.) This package is a perfect gift for an unsaved person because it gives both sides of the evolution debate, as well as presents a very clear gospel message.

“I'm reading Intelligent Design versus Evolution right now.... YOU MAKE ME LAUGH MY HEAD OFF! The part where you say, 'If I'm so stupid, why do you keep talking to me?' made me fall out of my chair in hysterical laughter. This book is awesome! I gave one to the UPS driver. She was very captivated by its appearance!” ~ Chris (Canada)

This Will Make You Mad
Check out www.intelligentdesignversusevolution.com and watch a four minute Bill Maher video clip. It will make you fume. Then, if you so feel inclined, cut and paste the “Is Bill Maher a Chicken?” challenge and send it all over the Internet.
New Zealand Television
A secular New Zealand television program, called "Campbell Live," filmed an item on Ray and his ministry. The ten minute interview includes some rare footage of Ray preaching open-air back in the 1970's. You can watch it on the TV3 website.
Dentist Payback Time
Have you ever wanted to communicate something to your dentist, but couldn’t because your mouth was filled up with instruments. Then you need to watch “The Dentist Survival Kit,” and if you like it, do us a favor by spreading it around the Internet. Check out: www.wayofthemasterradio.com/dentist.shtml

Renewing Your Passion Conference
Gospel For AsiaRecently Ray flew to India to teach native missionaries at an amazing school that is reaching the very heart of the 10 / 40 window with the gospel of Christ. Gospel for Asia, the ministry founded by K.P. Yohannan, is literally changing the face of how mission work is done across the world. The Renewing Your Passion Conference is in Dallas this June. We highly recommend it -- God will use it to awaken in you a passion for the lost.

Nothing But Evangelism
For two hours each day—WOTM Radio broadcasts nothing but evangelism and sound doctrine. Come street fishing with us as we witness live on the radio through cell phones around the country to the unsaved. There’s nothing in the world like this. We have received thousands of emails from people who love the show. Here’s just one: “When I thought it couldn't get better than the TV show, you guys out do yourselves! Keep up the good work!!” Justin K., Philadelphia

If you want to get WOTM Radio in your area, all your local radio station has to do is want the program. It’s free. So call or e-mail your local Christian talk station and tell them (the General Manager or owner) about the show. Point them to www.WayOfTheMasterRadio.com where they can request a demo kit. If they want to contact our agency and bypass the website, they can contact: Walter Bennett Communications, Mike Hamilton, mhamilton@walterbennett.com, (267) 419-1464. He can give them all the particulars regarding how to download the show, how to get it from the satellite, etc. We will be meeting with the executives of a very influential and large radio network next month (at their request), and would covet your prayers for that meeting.

Ray Uplifted in New YorkRay Uplifted in New York
The New York police informed us that although we had the right to open air preach, we were not allowed to stand on a milk crate (using it for a "soap box"). Elevation is essential to draw a crowd in this situation, so two dear brothers (Bart M. from California, and Andy S. from Oregon) offered to put their backs into it, and open air preaching was taken to a whole new level. Although uncomfortable for them, it brought in an immediate crowd. This is about the only time you will ever see Todd ("freakishly tall") Friel looking up to Ray. By the way, we had a wonderful turnout at the New York fundraising dinner that evening (the rubber chicken was delicious). We thank God for those of you who so generously support this ministry. Way of the Master Radio is now on more than sixty stations and The Way of the Master Minute is on 700 stations. Please continue to pray for this ministry.

Mormon Pageant
Feel free to join Ray and the production team as they interview and open air preach at the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, Utah. He has done this before (you can read the hair-raising account in Out of the Comfort Zone). Each year, more than 100,000 Mormons gather together and celebrate the supposed giving of the golden tablets (The Book of Mormon) to Joseph Smith. That celebration begins at 9:00 PM, but for three hours before that, 20,000 Mormon teenagers gather in a confined area. It’s a wonderful opportunity to present the true Gospel to the unsaved. We will be filming for our Third Season on June 21, arriving around 1:00 PM. We value your prayers.
American Tract Society
We were honored this month to receive a visit from the Vice President of Marketing and President and CEO of American Tract Society. They are carrying a couple of our most popular tracts. This visit was a big deal, as you can see.
SmartyFace.comEvangelistic Website for Grade School Kids
We realized there was a gap in our evangelistic websites... we didn't have anything geared toward younger children. Well, SmartyFace.com changes all that. Based on the "Hey Kids!" tract, this gospel message starts off by teaching kids the Ten Commandments in a "game" format. Then it explains, in easy to understand terms, how the Commandments are like a mirror that helps us see our state before God and what Jesus did for us so that we wouldn't have to go to Hell.

Using Rental Cars
Sent in to us from Bob C. of Tallahassee, FL

I travel a lot and have the opportunity to drive rental cars frequently. When I check the car back into the rental agency, I leave a CD in the CD player. My favorite recently was the Narnia recording. I downloaded it from NarniaStory.com and burned it to a CD. On the disc, I wrote “The Secret of Narnia – 16 Minutes.” You know the cleanup crew checks the CD player when they recycle the cars. Maybe they’ll be moved by the Spirit to take that intriguing sounding CD home with them and listen to it.

Using Junk Mail
Sent in to us from Teri N. of Coweta, OK.

I have an idea, that may have been used here before. It is always nice to revisit an idea in case someone missed it the first time. On any given day I receive tons of junk mail in my mail box which include a postage paid return envelope for any number of different offers. Instead of throwing these things away, I now tuck a Million Dollar Bill tract inside and send it on its way. I know that somebody is going to open up the envelope and hopefully read the tract. It would be awesome if somebody got saved because of that!

Using Your Business
Sent in to us from Dave F. of Michigan

[My business] just attended a scrapbook convention in Novi, Michigan. We placed Million Dollar Bill Tracts, Da Vinci Tracts and Full House Tracts in front of the cash register and put up a sign that said "Free Money and Full House Trivia." In three days we had 3,500 tracts picked up. Now that is easy!!!! If you own a store, and can do that, you will be suprised at the good response.

Do you want to contribute your witnessing experiences, tract stories, and creative evangelism ideas to the "Coffee Break" column? Send them to: share@livingwaters.com, and maybe we'll use yours! (Please include your first name, last initial, and location, in case we use your story!)
