We work hard to make tools that present a clear gospel and we work doubly hard to make translations that will help people all over the world. So when we came across this magazine cover of “The Voice of the Martyrs”, we could only stop to marvel and thank the Lord for taking our tools across the world. Here’s a quote from the article:
Interns at GoodSeed tend to “photo bomb” and eat all the food. But they also roll up their sleeves and get involved in producing tools that will be used around the world to teach a clear gospel.

Since Martha’s friend had better eyesight, she would read aloud the same chapter and the two of them would discuss it as a way to review the material.

It was an amazing time at Missions Fest. We met quite a number of people who were familiar with our tools and said they were using them to reach out to friends and neighbours. There were also people who were looking for ways to explain the gospel to their loved ones and they were happy to discover we had tools that could help them.
One family was so excited to discover What are Christmas and Easter All About? that they bought a case of 100 books to give out to everyone they know.
Any regular believer can guide a friend accurately and clearly through the gospel. There is no need to be theologically trained, a good orator or even an experienced Bible study leader.
This three-day seminar is designed to train participants how to conduct worldview evangelism with anyone they may know.

Easter is one of the most appropriate times for sharing the gospel. While TV commercials feature Easter bunnies and children hunting for chocolate eggs, frequently friends, co-workers and acquaintances wonder what Easter is really all about.
