Letters to the editor:%From Holguin, Cuba (Translated from Spanish) Beloved Brothers,
The Lord bless you abundantly. I wish that you and your families may have peace, joy, and love. My name is Rubiel Parez Claro. I am 25 years old and single. I at-tended the Pentecostal Evangelical Church from the day the Lord rescued me from darkness to light. I am now a new creature in Christ. I am experiencing more joy than I have ever had before.
Please send me a New Testament, a Bible, and what-ever other literature you have to help me in my Christian walk.
From Cathedral City, California Me and my neighbor go to the park with kids every morning and pass out
tracts—some in English and some in Spanish. People like to sign their name and put the date on page 12 after they have received Jesus into their hearts.
I haven't had much money to donate, but praise God I got money now so I am able to donate. May the Lord God bless you! We could use more tracts. Norma Madain and Maria Rueda,
Servants of Christ our Lord and Savior (
!Can Muslims get saved
as easily as non Muslims? Read this and you decide!
by Randee Hawkins I'm a volunteer who worked in
the dining area of College of the Desert day before yesterday. We were there for the express purpose of telling people how to be saved so they would go to heaven when this short life is over.
A Muslim international student from Yemen began speaking with me. I began to share Jesus with him. Would you believe, before I knew it, he was asking for forgiveness of sin and he asked Jesus into his heart!
(He also told Randee that he is NOT voting for Obama in the upcoming election!)
