Godspower as he was for ever
impresssed with God’s power to
save him. One described
paddling a dinghy with their
hands after losing their oars.
Every single one we spoke to
had arrived the same way at
different times; and they each
said that during the perilous
sea crossing, during which they
all witnessed death or came
near to it, they vowed to God
to serve Him and His Son if they
came alive to Italy’s shores. It
makes us wonder how many of
those who survived the ship-
wreck with Paul later also came
to true faith. And in their
cases, they got to Italy... and
met with our brethren. And now some of them
have been baptized- on Italy’s beaches. We
talked with them of how baptism is a crossing
of the Red Sea, and then a wilderness journey
by grace to the promised land. It fitted so well
with their experiences. Their baptisms really
were a vow of a good conscience to serve the
Father and Son who saved their lives for the
purpose of their coming to know His grace.

one of the hostels; all are using the NEV Bibles given them
We feel led in to a subgroup within
Western society who are so open
and receptive to the Gospel. So let
us know if you’d like to be involved
with teaching this lovely group
and do pray for them all

E
ach day we get a large number of
responses to our printed literature and
websites. We have a good team who follow
up on these, always aiming to provide a
response within a day or so if possible.
Please pray for this work. Here are just a few
of the wide range of responses we have
received recently:
From Bangladesh: “I would just like to read
bible out of curiosity and see what actually
is inside of it - Gospel of Jesus. Currently no
plan to become a Christian but just to see
actually what is inside of it - the book I was
told not to read- is it really the truth or not?
So, if possible send both English & Arabic
ones.”
From USA: “I really need your advice about
how to approach my husband and others
about biblical teachings about the devil and
satan specifically. My husband is heavily into
the health wealth gospel-teachers because
that’s all he knows. I get so angry when I
hear him listening to televangelists and
even our pastor, who is a faith movement
teacher. I too was like him until I stumbled
upon your book. I have never been the same
since. I am so eager to tell him what I’ve
come to learn in my Bible studies from
Carelinks, the NEV Bible I received in the
mail, and more. I have been freed since
reading your books and listening to many of
your teachings. How do I start the conver-
sation with my husband about the belief in
a cosmic being and even generational curses
in a gentle way. Should I start with Mark 7?
Also, if you know of any Christadelphian
assembly in the south florida area please
let me know. Thank you.”
From France: “When I receive the Bibles can
you teach me by skype something like 1 or
2 times per month?”
