Tracts in Circulation in Co Donegal

I was much encouraged at our Prayer Meeting tonight to discover that the 'Consider Christ' tracts are definitely going out across Donegal.

People in attendance have properties in Buncrana, Fahan, and Muff – and each have received their tracts!

This is terrific news - and shows that An Post is fulfilling their part of our contract.

Please keep much in prayer that the Gospel seed that is being sowed will result in an abundant spiritual harvest.

Week for Delivery of Tract #1 - The Alphabet of Salvation

This week is scheduled for the delivery of Tract #1 by An Post's 'Publicity Mail' department to the five border counties.

The area indicated in orange on the map above shows the area of coverage.

Approximately 200,000 Gospel Tracts will therefore be delivered across the regions of Donegal, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth – one into every home!

Please pray with redoubled intensity that the message of the Gospel contained in this tract will captivate and deliver lost souls to the Glory of God.

Billboard Tweaks in Preparation for 5 County Coverage

The 48-sheet Billboard design we used in last year's campaign in Northern Ireland are again being pressed into service as part of our outreach into the Five Border Counties.

During advertising cycles 23, 24 & 25, 20 Billboards will be on display.

We have managed to negotiate a much reduced fee for the billboards - and then obtained further value by doubling the time over which they will appear for a little extra cost. It's not quite a 2-for-the-price-of-1 deal, ... but it's close!

The total cost for the boards is £9,517.00.

Please pray that each will be an effective wayside messenger, pointing souls to the only Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ Alone is All!

There are multitudes of baptized men and women who profess to honour Christ, but in reality do Him great dishonour.

They give Christ a certain place in their system of religion, but not the place which God intended Him to fill.

Christ alone is not “all in all” to their souls.

No!

It is either Christ and the Church, or Christ and the sacraments, or Christ and His ordained ministers, or Christ and their own repentance, or Christ and their own goodness, or Christ and their own prayers, or Christ and their own sincerity and charity, on which they practically rest their souls.

If any reader of this paper is a Christian of this kind, I warn him also plainly, that his religion is an offence to God. You are changing God’s plan of salvation into a plan of your own devising. You are in effect deposing Christ from His throne, by giving the glory due to Him to another.

200,000 Tracts Leave For Dublin Depot

The Consider Christ tracts for use in the door-to-door delivery by An Post left the main offices of Every Home Crusade at 4.30 this afternoon en route to Dublin.

This represented another herculean effort on the part of the staff of EHC.

Not only were they required to print and fold 200,000 tri-fold leaflets, they also were tasked with bundling them in 100s, boxing them in 1000s and sorting out surpluses for the various postal zones in the Counties of Donegal, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth!

We cannot thank them enough - and earnestly pray that their efforts will result in a bountiful spiritual harvest!

Creeping Towards The Target

Contributions to the 'Consider Christ Campaign, Phase 2 – The Border Counties' continue to come in.

At this moment, the account stands at £48,077.

This is less than £2000 short of our initial target – £50,000 – and represents a tremendous level of giving, especially when we consider the harsh economic climate in which we now live!

Once again, many thanks for your contributions ... we are really only 'pennies away from our target,' and it is our aim to make every penny count to the glory of our great God!

Why Does The Church Stay Indoors?!

"WHY DOES THE CHURCH STAY INDOORS!?

They have a theology that has dwindled into a philosophy, in which there is:

• no thrill of faith,

• no terror of doom,

• and no concern for souls.

Unbelief has put out the fires of passion, and worldliness garlands the altar of sacrifice with the tawdry glitter of unreality."

- Samuel Chadwick (1840 -1932)
