Isaiah 55:11

October 5, 2001

Dear Friend,

This letter is more somber than most. We still feel the pain of those suffering in the U.S.A. But thank you for your faithful prayers and financial support!! God's Word would not be exalted nor hearts changed if it were not for you!!

In New York City, the dust is settling but it has not all settled. Some of the lost have been found, but not all. Fallen buildings and broken families are the remains of the terrorist crashes. More than ever New Yorkers cry out to make sense of the senseless, to find comfort in a world where comfort cannot be found. Will you help minister to the lost in this fallen world? Will you give them One True Answer of Comfort?

There are two verses to be posted in and around New York City.

The Lord is close to the broken hearted. Psalm 34:18

The Lord says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love." Jeremiah 31:3

As always, there will be a write-up on these verses giving comfort to the grieving, showing them through Scripture how God feels with and for us, how if we cry out to Him, He hears us and answers ... with the saving grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ and the comforter, the Holy Spirit.

Would you please help in this way? These Scriptures are from the Old Testament for the Jews, as well clear words of comfort for the gentiles. ~Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" He said, "Go and tell this people: ... Isa 6:8-13 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 1Cor 1:17-31.~ On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." Mark 2:17

Is the Lord sending you to donate $5, 10, $20, or more to spread His Word of Truth and comfort on this confused and hurting world? Are you being called as a missionary to your own country where faith in Christ grows the third least of all industrial countries? Are you witnessing in your work, neighborhood or office? (Matt 28:18-21) Are you spreading the Alive and Active Word of God (Heb 4:12) thus allowing God Himself to soften and open their hearts for His Spirit to indwell (Jer 31:33; Joel 2:27-29; John 3:16; Acts 17:28)? Here is an opportunity for you! ~"His master replied, `Well done, good and faithful servant! ... Come and share your master's happiness!'" Matt 25:14-30

God knows how limited each of our funds are. In His infinite mercy He has proceeded before us to make the costs a fraction (5%) of what they normally would be!! He yearns for us to join Him in our Father's business. For only $1.00 you can reach 10,000 people with God's Word and learn more of Him on www.billboardsforchrist.org ! "Didn't you realize that I should be involved with my Father's affairs?" Luke 2:49 NLT New York billboard companies are asking BFC to post God's Word there!

The feedback from our website proves that our Lord Jesus is Alive and Active, for only the Word of God can accomplish the changes in people's hearts we see! Also, our statistics show most people read our website Monday through Friday, 9 am through midnight. Our apologies to their companies, but God will make these workers more productive and fruitful! (1 John 3:6)

Are you a minister in the church? Is that the only flock Jesus is asking you to minister to?? How about those no one can reach, except by God's Word directly? Your church can minister to them as a follow-up! We would love to post your church &/or web address on our website as an invitation for prayer, worship and growing in the Lord Jesus Christ with your church body. Contact our feedback page to be posted.

The good news is: In the past two months we have posted ten Spanish/ English Scripture billboards in Austin, Texas and one English billboard in Houston, Texas. You can see them here. We now have a total of 24 billboards posted! Praise and glory alone to our Lord Jesus Christ!
