Greetings!
Recently, I had an idea for a new Gospel tract that would refute Islam and Mormonism. I called Tyler McNabb and pitched the idea to him and asked if he'd like to take a crack at some text for it. He was excited about the project. We worked on the tract together and got Marv at One Million Tracts to print it for us. The new tracts arrived on Monday. On Thursday was the first opportunity to take them out while witnessing. God provided both a Mormon and a Muslim to hand the tracts to! You can read the details in the BLOG.
This week we went to the mall to do some witnessing. A new kiosk had been set up since last time we were there. The kiosk allows people to act like Gerbils. Please see the BLOG to read about how I was able to use the bubbles in witnessing to the guys running the kiosk.
The "As You Go" BLOG has a new entry which provides a suggestion witnessing "as you go" on the internet. Be sure to check the As You Go BLOG periodically for additional witnessing tips for your daily use.
The Adventures of Roman and Jorge
There is a new resource available that I strongly encourage you to get your hands on. It's a TV show being developed by Last Words Radio called The Adventures of Roman and Jorge. Roman and Jorge are plain ordinary men who get on fire for Jesus and the desire to tell others about him. Set as a reality TV show, they have done a wonderful job of showing the things we go through when we step out onto the streets to share the Gospel. You can read my review of Episode 1 and Episode 2 which includes information on how to obtain your own copy of the shows.
Basic Evangelism Training Seminar
Our next Basic Evangelism Training Seminar will be held on August 12th in Carrollton. You can register online. Please invite your friends.
Are your kids "Already Gone"?
 Answers in Genesis has made available for FREE Download the video Already Gone in which Ken Hamm presents data from the book by the same name. I highly recommend downloading this resource. It is very informative as it looks into the reasons of why kids that grow up in the church, leave and never come back. The statistics of when they "check out" mentally will alarm you.
Texas Revival Series
The Lost Cause Ministries is presenting the 3rd Texas Revival Series on October 9th in Allen, TX from 1-8PM. The keynote speaker will be Tony Miano, Director of the Living Waters Ambassadors Academy. The theme is preaching the excellencies of Christ. Bezeugen Ministries will have a table giving away a new tract for sharing the "excellencies of Christ". The tract will also be in the November tract club mailing. Come to the conference and get some before everyone else! Registration is free on the web site.
If you are coming to Dallas for this event, please consider joining us for an outreach at the Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday. We are developing a Dallas Cowboys Trivia Tract to hand out there!
Super Bowl Outreach
The NFL players and teams are headed to training camp. And we are gearing up for the end of the season already. Please pray about joining us for the Super Bowl Outreach. The dates are February 3-6th, 2011. Registration is now open. Three nights accommodation at Camp Copass in Denton, TX is included for just $199. Bezeugen is a partner with Sports Fans Outreach and will be an exhibitor at the event as well.

Bezeugen Tract Club

| September Tract Club Mailing
The September mailing of the tract club is ready to go to the post office. Many thanks to all those who helped count tracts, fold letters, stuff envelopes, etc. We could not do this without your help. This week we enrolled our 500th member! Who do you know that would like to join you in handing out tracts. Please refer them to the Bezeugen Tract Club. Is God calling you to support the Bezeugen Tract Club financially?It costs roughly $1.50 to order the tracts and mail each envelope of the Bezeugen Tract Club each month. The club is currently doubling in size every three to four months. We have reached 500 members. With continued growth rates, Lord willing, we will hit 1000 members by the end of 2010. God has met all of our financial needs to date. And I have no doubt that as the club grows, he will continue to provide the funds to support the growth. If you believe in what God is doing through the tract club, would you please pray about how you might contribute financially to the support of the Bezeugen Tract Club? Will the Lord enable you to make a one time donation to help with the costs? Is the Lord call you to donate $15 per month to sponsor 10 members or maybe $150 per month to sponsor 100 members. No gift is too big or too small. All gifts are 100% tax-deductible. It is our desire and vision to keep the tract club free to all members. Would you pray about how you can help financially to make that possible? Information on donating to Bezeugen Ministries is on our web site. Thanks for your consideration! Need more tracts? Do you need extra tracts for your summer vacation travel plans? Marv at One Million Tracts is offering to print any of our tracts for you. He is offering 250, 500 or 1000 of our tracts for $15, $20 and $30 respectively. Please see the announcement on the BLOG for details. Many thanks for Marv for providing this service. If you are going to St Louis, you might consider ordering our "Gateway to the West" tract. If you are going to Niagara Falls, you might ask Marv about his tract for that!
The tract club is growing rapidly. We now have over 485 members in 43 states (plus members in Canada). Who do you know that you could refer to the Bezeugen Tract Club? We sill need a member in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Vermont and Maine to hit all fifty states!
Have you joined the Bezeugen Tract Club Facebook Fan page? We now have over 100 fans!
We have in place the infrastructure to grow both in the US and Canada. Please refer your friends to the Bezeugen Tract Club.

| Door to Door Ministry | |
Door | Door Hangars are being distributed!!!!!
I was encouraged to hear from Pastor Ben at First Baptist Hebron, Carrollton, TX that they distributed another 350+ door hangars on Saturday. He told me that he plans to make regular use of door hangars to incorporate people into the door to door ministry of the church. What a wonderful idea. While some people are knocking on doors and engaging in one on one conversations, others who may not be ready for the one on one conversations yet, can still participate by distributing the Word of God in printed form on the door hangars. You might like to pray about how your church might incorporate door hangars into it's door to door ministry to reach the people of your community.
If you'd still like to get 100 door hangars to get started with your door to door outreach in your neighborhood then please let me know. Please note - we go to the post office on Thursday, so respond today if you want them within the next week!

| Prayer Requests | | We appreciate your prayers
- Pray for the First Thursday Prayer meetings going on around the country tomorrow. Please consider participating with us or where ever you may be.
- We have located a neighborhood near Carrollton, TX where we can have the US Post Office deliver nearly 2200 door hangars for us for a very reasonable fee. Pray for wisdom and timing of when to do this.The post office will not deliver the door hangars so we are going to look into making a post card.
- Pray for the growth of the tract club. Pray also for the finances to keep this going, growing and free. We need approximately $1.50 per month per member to fund this effort.
- Pray for an idea that Mande has that could bring funding to the ministry.
- Pray for development of new tracts for outreaches at football games this fall.
- Pray for the translation of the God's Way / Man's Way tract into Urdu and Arabic!
