We are going to Europe!

God willing, we are going to film 13 episodes in 13 countries... in 13 days. They said it couldn't be done, but we thought differently (high-speed trains will make it possible). This is for the 4th Season of "The Way of the Master" TV program. We are going to:

1. London (England)
2. Brussels (Belgium)
3. Luxembourg (Luxembourg)
4. Paris (France)
5. Barcelona (Spain)
6. Monte Carlo (Monaco)
7. Milan (Italy)
8. Zurich (Switzerland)
9. Vienna (Austria)
10. Budapest (Hungry)
11. Prague (Czech)
12. Frankfurt (Germany)
13. Amsterdam (Netherlands)

It will be a combined travel log, home show, history show...all soaked in evangelism. We leave on September 20th, and yes, we need contacts in every country to help make this a reality. Please contact Trish at tramos@livingwaters.com if you can be a contact person. Also, we are still looking for sponsors for each program.

New Booklet - Why Christianity?
Why Christianity?

This is probably the clearest and most common sense presentation of the Gospel you will ever read, because it plainly and reasonably shows why Christianity is head and shoulders above other major religions. Read the entire booklet on line. This is available at a very low bulk rate.

"I've just put Why Christianity? down after reading it, and have to say that it is the best booklet you have ever done. I'm looking forward to handing it out to anyone and everyone. It's what I've been looking for. It is the best explanation of the gospel I've ever read. I can think of a dozen people in my immediate friend and family circle who need to read this more expounded version of the gospel." - Melissa D. (New Zealand)

Don't miss the 4th of July
This is a day that people take parochial tracts like no other (tracts about America). Make sure you take advantage of this. The Giant Money tract also goes out like hot cakes on a really cold day in Florida at Independence Day events.
Medical Help Needed

There is a young gentleman, in the Southern California area, who has contacted our ministry in need of some serious medical attention. He lacks the funds to pay for the services that might be provided for him and is in a state of desperation. If you know of someone who might be willing to help please contact Mark@livingwaters.com for more detailed information concerning his medical need.

The Way of the Master now on YouTube

The Way of the Master on YouTubeWith over 100 million subscribers worldwide, YouTube is an incredible distribution tool to reach today's pop culture with the gospel. The concept is to make www.YouTube.com/TheWayoftheMaster a full-on Christian "Network" of sorts with weekly programming and specials. Like a television network, these will be shows that make up a series. It will be like watching a 24-hour network, but not having to wait for a certain time-slot to watch your show... and you can watch as many times as you'd like! The only difference is... these episodes are 10 minutes or less! The best part is, our programs can become video tracts, in essence, that can be e-mailed all over the web. It's called "going viral" and once it goes viral there's no telling how many people will see it. Potentially millions! This is the NEW MEDIA format for today's viewer. We will be producing a variety of videos as episodes, mini-series and specials like:

  • Open Air Preaching (Weekly open air moments)
  • One-to-One (Man on street clips)
  • WOTM Minutes
  • Behind-the-Scenes ("Insiders Look" at LW and "On the Set" with WOTM)
  • WOTM Radio Clips ("Best Of" radio moments)
  • School of Evangelism Supplements
  • Sermon Starters (Topical segments/short stories shot like a film)

So, be sure to subscribe to the channel and tell your friends! www.YouTube.com/TheWayoftheMaster

Each month in this section we want to shine the spotlight on friends of the ministry that we feel
will be a help and encouragement to you as we spread the Gospel around the world together.

BlessedToys.comBlessedToys.com

One2believe, a faith based toy company, has been given the opportunity to spread the word of God throughout America. Starting August 2007, 500 Wal-Mart stores across the nation will be selling One2believe's Christian based toys, including Messengers of Faith, Tales of Glory, Spirit Warriors and more. To see the full line visit their website at www.blessedtoys.com or call Michael LaRoe toll free at 888-557-2327. If the toys are not successful in the 500 Wal-Mart stores then the section will cease to exist. One2believe needs the Christian communities support to help spread the word. Help One2believe achieve their goal of having Christian toys become a permanent fixture among retailers and your homes as well.

New York Debate

We found this encouraging blog on scienceblogs.com: "I gotta wonder if anyone really wins these sorts of debates anyway. Atheists remain atheists, Christians remain Christians and each side rolls their eyes at the other's points while patting themselves on the back for their own. While the fence-sitters will no doubt have concluded that the Atheists were better debaters, many were still persuaded by a few of the points brought forth by Ray and Kirk. I've had lots of calls from people wanting to come back to church as a consequence of the debate."

Herman Who?

Herman Who?This is a 75-minute message by Todd Friel. Ask most Christians what they know about hermeneutics and they will probably ask, "Herman Who?" You will receive a condensed 16-week master's level education on how to read the Bible right. You will never read the Bible the same way again . . . and you will never have the wool pulled over your eyes by a false teacher.

"I've read a lot of books about proper interpretation but this class was in a league by itself. Without a doubt, it was the best investment I've ever made into accurately understanding and applying the Word of God. Todd breaks down an enormous amount of information into an understandable, useful format anyone can do - it's like taking an entire Seminary class in just a few hours! I loved it, and use it every day in my walk with Christ." -- Laura A.

The Way of the Master Chosen as Finalist

We just heard from our publishers. The Way of the Master has been chosen as a finalist in the Retailers Choice Awards 2007 competition! Even if it doesn't win, it's very encouraging. It greatly lifts the profile of the book. Praise the Lord.

The Same Bank Teller
From Hannah S., Pleasantville, NY

My boss sends me to the bank every week to make deposits for her. I always get the same bank teller. The same one, without fail, which is strange enough. One day I gave her 101 of the World's Funniest One-liners, thinking, as I always do, that she will read the funny stuff and skip the serious stuff. I completely forgot about it. The next week I went in and the very first thing she said was, "I read the thing you gave me -- it was hilarious! I let everyone else read it, too!" I smiled and thought to myself, Yeah, but did you read the editorial? I'd barely had time to think that before she said, "I was reading along and I noticed the part that said to read the editorial and I thought, "Oh, man, now I have to get serious? I don't want to read anything serious!" But she had a strange look on her face so I smiled and said, "Did you read it?" She smiled really big and said, "Yeah!" I am absolutely thrilled as this has opened a door for giving her more tracts. Unfortunatly I didn't have anymore on me but I plan to go tomorrow and give her "Are you good enough to go to heaven?" with my email address on the back.

Alice Cooper on Hollywood Blvd.
From Chris Y., Hollywood, CA

A very interesting witnessing encounter a friend and I had after handing out tracts on Hollywood Blvd. We were walking back to our car and on the way we saw a bunch of guys in the back of a truck with cameras. Matt suggested we go over. So we handed them the million dollar gospel tracts and told them that the million dollar question was on the back. We went back to the car and as we started driving we were surprised to see the same camera guys in the back of their pickup video taping a guy sticking out of the moon roof of a white limo. The guy was wearing a top hat and pointing a cane at the crowds of people on the sidewalk. As we approached we could see that it was Alice Cooper. I immediately told Matt to give me a million dollar tract. I rolled down my window and yelled out "Hey, Cooper!" He leaned over and grabbed the million dollar bill while the crew was filming and showed it to the camera. My friend and I looked at each other and praised God! Please pray for Alice Cooper, the camera men and the other people we witnessed to on Hollywood Blvd. God is amazing and I pray that He reveals Himself to them, they repent, and put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone to save them. Amen.
