8/32nside Report 8 2Q 2011
Not long ago, no one inAmerica would have thought about preaching
the gospel reely in communist Ukraine, much lesshaving a permanent Bible and evangelism training
school where students come rom all over Ukraine to learn
how to share their aith.Yet by means o much prayer and many miracles, God has
done just that and much more. Amazing Facts launched its
rst-ever international AFCOE in 2010, and God has taken it toamazing heights. In our rst class, 31 students rom dierent parts
o Ukraine and a ew other countries gathered together or a our-month experience that would orever change their lives.
Laying the GroundworkThese eager students began their course with two weeks o
health evangelism training that included hydro and massagetherapy. Ater this, they began door-to-door training under ormerASI coordinator Kevin Sears, who now serves as the director o the
school. The students conducted surveys in the community thatoered ree health programs and Bible studies.
There was concern over how well this would be received, as ithad never been done beore in Ukraine. Hours were spent in prayerbeore the students went out.
Ater just the rst two days o outreach, more than 300 peoplehad requested Bible studies!
One man with a terrible headache answered the knock on
his door and discovered two o our young students smilingback at him. The man said, You want me to study the Bible?I cant study anything. I have had a migraine headache
every minute or three solid weeks now!They responded, We believe we can help you with that.
I you let us in, well show you how. They then gave him
a simple hydrotherapy treatment and a light massage.Ater 15 minutes the man exclaimed, My headache
is gone! You guys truly helped me. Lets sit down, and
Im ready to study anything you want! They had aBible study together right there! This is what we teach
at AFCOE, including our course here in the UnitedStates. Christs method o helping, healing, then
teaching wins the condence o people and opens
their hears to hear about Him. In act, so manypeople were interested that an additional day
o outreach each week was added.

9/32Inside Report 9 2Q 20
Heartfelt PreparationAter eight weeks o training and hundreds o Bible studies
going in the city o Vinnitsa, a 24-night Bible prophecy seminarwas planned or the public. One hundred thousand invitations
were printed and passed out personally by local churchmembers and AFCOE students. Talk about dedication! I wasquite amazed at how everyone worked so closely together to
deliver 100,000 pieces o paper in a matter o days. Plus, about40 giant billboard ads were also placed throughout the city.
Advertisements were plastered on city buses and on publictelevision. Every preparation that could be done rom a humanstandpoint was done.
The most important preparations, however, were thoseo our own hearts. Gods blessing was desperately needed ianything positive would come through these eorts, and we
needed Him to cleanse us and ll us with His Holy Spirit so thatwe could be used to the ullest by Him. Many long hours werespent in prayer as the series rst day drew near.
Health Expo a Key ComponentOn the night beore the Bible seminar began, we hosted
a ree public health expo. Attendees were able to go throughseveral stations that included the eight crucial liestyle
principles ound in the NEWSTART program.They learned about the importance o proper nutrition,
exercise, water, sunlight, temperance, resh air, rest, and trustin God. Our students gave ree massages, blood pressure andheart rate checks, and health ood samples. We didnt know
how many people would come, but we werent ready or thenumber that did! More than 500 people rushed through thedoors when we opened, each eager to take advantage o the
ree health advice. It was elbow to elbow as people waited inlong lines or their turn. At the end o the night, more than 600people had unneled through. This again demonstrates the
need to use health when reaching out to people
spiritually, just as Jesus did.The dedication o students was incredible;
they just kept working hard all night long. When
I suggested to one student that he take a break, hereplied, This is a work or God; He will give me the
strength I need to keep going. The people need toexperience Jesus. True to His promise, God did justthat. Another dedicated student, 22-year-old Natasha,
had an experience in lie that most young ladies her agedont struggle withbreast cancer struck her in her lateteens. All I wanted to do in lie was work or God, she
said. I told him that i He would heal me, I would give mylie unreservedly to His cause. She is now cancer ree andaithul to her promise. She has led dozens o people to Jesus
and His truth. She told me, I I didnt work or God, I would
lose my purpose in lie and likely die. May God help us allhave this level o dedication!
Gods Promised Blessing Poured OutOn the opening night o the seminar, we knelt down in
prayer seeking Gods blessing. We had rented the largestpublic auditorium in town, which seats 600 people. I had the
joy o preaching and sharing Gods Word each evening. Withthe meeting hall packed, I preached about Gods love, Hispardon or sin, the prophecies o Revelation, and the soon
return o Jesus.Night ater night, I stared into the eyes o hundreds o people
who were hungry to hear the Bible messages o hope. They were
looking or hope they had never had beore, and they ound itin Christ. They eagerly shook my hand on their way out, tellingme how they just couldnt wait till the ollowing evening. Some
even told me they couldnt sleep at night in anticipation o thenext message. Others said they had never studied the Bible or

themselves or prayed to God in their entirelives till now. What a delight it was to see
them come orward during the altar calls to
invite Jesus intotheir hearts!
One such lady was
Tatiana, a middle-agedwoman who attended
every night. She said,
I am so thankul that Ihave ound Jesus at thisseminar. I was raised
in an atheistic home tobelieve that God doesnt
exist, but now I know He notonly exists but also lives within my heart. I have ound anew hope and joy in lie through Christ I never knew was
possible! This is the power o Gods Word; no man cantake credit or these things.
Changed LivesBecause o such high interest, we had to have two
sessions per day. Some people attended both meetings eventhough they were the same!
One such young lady was
19-year-old Veronica, who hadbeen contemplating suicide.
I didnt eel like there wasany meaning in my lie, andmy amily didnt really care
about me. I saw no reasonto live. One day, she waswalking down the street
alone and cried out loud,God, i you are real andcare anything about me, you must show me that you
are real. The very next moment, she noticed a giantbillboard advertisementor our meetings above
her head! Her heartjumped, and with tears
in her eyes she prayedto know more. She
divinely ound one
o the brochurescrumbled nearby
on the ground.
She came every night to both meetings. I have ound in Jesuseverything I have always hoped or, and I cant get enough oHis Word. Even though my lies circumstances are hard, I have
peace that I have never had beore.Another man had been in prison or 11 years. He
began Bible studies with the prison ministries pastor but
wanted to learn more. Then a miracle happenedhewas suddenly released romprison just one day beore
the meetings began! Heattended and gave his lie toChrist through baptism. He
is now working aithullyin a childrens orphanage.
Two other young men alsoresponded to the voice oChrist. Victor was a young
man who had a long historywith drugs and violence.
He thought he was living the lie he always wantedone ull o
money, women, and anything he desired. He soon realized thatthis liestyle led to nothing but emptiness. Desperate or change,he attended the meeting through the invitation o a riend.
When I ound Christ, I ound reedom.
Sergey, a young boxer, had a bright uture ahead ohim in the sport. Unusually talented, he was oered
several proessional opportunities. While visiting hissister ater training, sheshowed him one o the
seminar brochures.I decided to attend
just because she wantedsomeone to go with her.I never knew it would
change my own lie
orever! They bothattended nearly every night
and were baptized together.Though he loved boxing
very much, he decided that wasnt something
God wanted him to pursue anymore. Christ saidto love your enemies, not ght them. He hasgiven it up to take up the cross or Christ. Surely,
the power o the Holy Spirit to change lives isremarkable, and God is moving young people
everywhere to ollow Him in these last days.
There isnt much time to wait!

11/32Inside Report 11 2Q 2011
A Very Unique Story IndeedOne o the most amazing stories was that o Luda.She had attended a previous seminar but had to go out
o town toward the end. She had almost accepted Christ andjoined His church but hesitated and backed away. She gaveher number to the speaker, and he put it in his cell phone. But
when he went to call her, it was gone! It somehow was deleted.He knew that she desperately needed to come to our seminar.
Several months passed. He shared his burden with our AFCOE
students. The entire school began to pray that they wouldsomehow nd her. Then another miracle happened. Only oneday beore the meetings began, one o the students was on his
way to a local university to pass out invitations. Luda was in herhome, and she elt heavily impressed to go or a walk. Go ora walk? I dont want to go or a walk. I want to take a nap, she
grumbled to hersel. The impression only grew stronger, so shedecided to ollow it thinking God must have a reason.
While outside, she walked right past the student, and
they both stopped at the same time to look back at eachother. He stretched out his hand oering an invitation, notknowing why but eeling that he should. When she saw it, she
immediately recognized that it was similar to the meeting shehad previously attended. She was lled with joy at the thought
that God had led her to that moment. This time, she came
every night except one. For one particular meeting she neededto listen to, she became very sick. I was certain the devil
didnt want me there, and I was so sad that I could not attend.Instead, we brought the meeting to her! She was so thankul,and she knelt down with us in her apartment that evening and
unreservedly dedicated her lie to Christ. She was baptizedsoon ater. The odds that our student would nd her in a cityo 350,000 were slim to none, yet God had a plan or her lie
that the devil could not hinder through lost phone numbers orsickness. She said at her baptism, I am so thankul or Godscompassion, and I know He has a purpose or my lie. I cant
wait to spend eternity with Him!
Just the BeginningAt the end o the series and with the
dedication o our AFCOE Global students, 42
people dedicated their lives to Christ throughbaptism, with several more preparing throughBible studies. What a joy it was to see rsthand
Gods miracle working power in the lives o thesepeople as they overcame every obstacle to come toChrist. It reminds me o this text in the Bible: Look
to Me, and be saved, all you ends o the earth! For Iam God, and there is no other (Isaiah 45:22 NKJV).God ullled His purpose in the lives o these people
when they looked to Him. He deserves all the glory.Today we are now in the third session o AFCOE
Ukraine. Several students are preparing or the next
evangelistic meeting that will take place soon. I havecondence that even greater stories will be told as Godcontinues to work mightily not just in Ukraine, but also in
India, England, and the Philippines later this year and next.Truly Gods message is spreading exponentially as
AFCOE around the world continues to reproduce gospelworkers that will herald and hasten the second coming oJesus. God has surely done great things, but we need much
more! Our desire is to continue planting these schools
everywhere so that many will be trained to share Godslast-day message o mercy with every person.
I you would like to help with this eort, please prayor these schools, that God will continue to pour out Hisspirit on them. Financial support is also needed. I you
would like to help nancially with these schools, sendyour donation to Amazing Facts, marked Global AFCOE.
And remember, this gospel o the kingdom will be
preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations,and then the end will come (Matthew 24:14 NKJV).
I you are interested in attending the 4-month or
10-day AFCOE programs in the United States in theulllment o this precious promise, please visit our
newly updated website (acoe.org) today.
Wes Peppers is in Ukraine or another AFCOEevangelistic series next month. AFCOE studentshave already done pre-work and outreach or themeetings, which are scheduled to begin April 15.Please keep our team in your prayers!

12/32nside Report 12 2Q 2011
AFCOE grAduAtE:
glEndOnAs a graduate o the all 2009 AFCOE class, the Lord
has blessed me mightily both spiritually and materially. I
assisted the Ontario Conerence as it conducted evangelistic
training sessions or its 2010 Year o Evangelism initiative. It
was quite a success, with over 50 churches participating andhundreds o precious souls baptized.
Another church asked me to conduct evangelisticmeetings in their community rom October 15 to
December 15, 2010, a total o 26 presentations. Thework began earnestly in June with health seminars, a
cooking school, door-to-door surveys or gaining Bible
study interests, mass media
advertising, and a presence atcommunity events. The Lord
blessed the work mightily, as
we currently have a number o
souls attending a Bible studyclass in preparation or baptism.
Being so involved in the
evangelistic eort or several
months took away rom my timein pursuing a regular income. I held on to the promise
o Mathew 6:2434, that I was to be anxious or nothing
as God would provide. And He did! Every month during
that period, the Lord provided me with a monthly incomerom unexpected sources. To God be the praise, the honor,
and the glory!I was just invited by another church to conduct an
evangelistic series in their community rom April 27 toMay 27, 2011. Please keep us in your prayers.
Thanks to Pastor Macintosh and the entire sta at
AFCOE or giving me the training in answering the Lords
call to serve. Indeed the harvest is ripe, but the laborersare ew. Let our prayer be that the Lord would throw us all
into the harvest elds!

sOul missiOn
ChAnCE rAndriCkI praise God or not only using Amazing Facts to bring me
into Gods precious truth, but also or its evangelism training.Attending AFCOE launched me into the most awesome work
any person can dowinning souls!My rst encounter with Amazing
Facts occurred in 1999, when I ound a
Study Guide aboard a U.S. Naval warship.
Ater three years o study, I was baptizedinto Gods remnant church. It didnt takeme long to discover that God was callingme to proclaim His message o love to
the world, particularly to young people.Considering my situation, I wondered
how this would be possible, but this text brought me hope: Do
not remember the ormer things. ... Behold, I will do a new thing,Now it shall spring orth; I will even make a road in thewilderness And rivers in the desert (Isaiah 43:18, 19 NKJV).
thE nExt big stEPOnce I settled in my heart to be a soldier or Jesus, I decided
to enlist in the Lords army ull time. To be the best I could be,I needed to learn rom the best. Just like in the Navy, I needed
boot camp-style trainingand AFCOE had it. Since AFCOEtrains committed saints to become rontline soldiers on thebattleeld o the great controversy, God led me there to be under
their tutelage to prepare or His service.I also needed something dynamic, intense, and eective
while learning all aspects o evangelism like public and
personal outreach, preaching, church planting, and biblicalcounseling. A caption in their handbook said it all, Students
do not just learn about their aiththey live and share it. Howcould I not get excited about that? At AFCOE, I ound passionatestudents and enthusiastic instructors with years o experience
in evangelism.
FOllOwing gOdI graduated AFCOE in December 2005 and have been a ull-
time missionary ever since. Today I work as the evangelism
coordinator with the National Association or the Preventiono Starvation (NAPS), a youth ministry based at Oakwood
University. NAPS brings spiritual and physical relie tothousands around the world each year. Ive been privileged
to have had a part in adding 3,000 souls to the kingdom andsome 1,000 youth trained in evangelism rom 2006 to 2011.
Each spring, Thanksgiving,
and Christmas, with a teamo trained NAPS missionaries,
Im blessed to conductcanvassing campaigns;distribute thousands o lie-
changing literature; empoweryouth at juvenile detentioncenters and at elementary and high schools; and share our
mission with churches across America. During the summer,we conduct oreign missions in some o the most neglectedrural places in Arica, including in nations like Zimbabwe,
Madagascar, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, and Liberia.The tools and
knowledge I gained
during my trainingcontinue to help me
reach people where theyare. The skills o givingBible studies make a
tremendous dierencein leading souls to accept
Jesus and be baptized. I highly recommend every layperson get
trained at AFCOE. (See Proverbs 11:30 and Daniel 12:3!)I wrote a book about my conversion and AFCOE experience,
called From Sailor to Saint, and a book about stepping out andtrusting God to become a soul winner, called The Certainty
o Gods Promises.* Both o
these books are the result oinspiration I gained having beena part o AFCOE.
Thank you, Amazing Facts, or
helping me discover the truth andor equipping me to help others
nd them too. Keep pressingonward in the cause o Christ!

14/32nside Report 14 2Q 2011
Does the Jewish temple need to be
rebuilt before Jesus returns?
With the turmoil threatening the already threadbarestability in the Middle East, many Bible commentators are
beginning to speculate louder than ever about whether
the Jewish temple will be rebuilt in the months and yearsto come. Entire Christian ministries are established to assist in the
building o the temple to hasten the return o Jesus. For many, such
an event will signal the start o the nal events o earths history.However, in the same way many Christians misplace the ocus
rom spiritual Israel to the literal Jewish nation, they are also
conused on the subject o the temple. Most o the speculation ora rebuilt temple springs rom a vague reerence in 2 Thessalonians
2 dealing with the Antichrist power: That day shall not come
[until] that man o sin be revealed, the son o perdition; Whoopposeth and exalteth himsel above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple o God,
shewing himsel that he is God (vs. 3, 4).Many say that or the Antichrist to sit in the temple, it will
obviously have to be rebuilt.
Those who support this belie are known as Christian Zionists,and they include such popular writers as Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye,
and John Hagee. Their published book sales exceed 70 million
copiesincluding the popular Let Behindseries. Their belies areendorsed by some o the largest theological colleges and institutions.
But are they correct? To begin, lets go to 1 Chronicles 17:11, 12:
It shall come to pass ... that I will raise up thy seed ater thee, whichshall be o thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build
me an house, and I will stablish his throne or ever. This prophecy
given to King David says his ospring will build the temple. Later, in
1 Chronicles 28:6, God rearms, Solomon thy son, he shall build my
house and my courts.But this text is also one o the clearest examples o a dual
prophecy ound in Scripture. Dual prophecies have both a physical
and spiritual ulllment. Indeed, Solomon, the son o David, builtthe physical temple. But this prophecy also applies spiritually
to Jesus, the true Son o David, who is to build a temple and
kingdom that will last orever.Jesus prophecy that the pride o the Jewish nation, the temple,
would be destroyed inspired the most intense rejection o His
teachings. (See Matthew 24:1, 2.) In Mark 14:58, Jesus says, I willdestroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I
will build another made without hands. O course, Jesus is speakingo rebuilding a templenot o stone and nails, but o living stones(1 Peter 2:5). Yet many reused to grasp this teaching (John 2:20,
21). They even mocked Jesus on the cross regarding His prophecy
(Matthew 27:40).Yet when Jesus died, the veil in the earthly temple ripped in two
rom the top to bottom, signiying that the temple no longer held
meaning. A temple or sacrice today would be as useless as it wasthen, and it would not be the house o God.
The New Testament is replete with the idea that the temple is the
body o Jesus. Ephesians 2:1922 says, Ye are no more strangers and
oreigners, but ellowcitizens with the saints, and o the householdo God: And are built upon the oundation o the apostles andprophets, Jesus Christ himsel being the chie corner stone; In
whom all the building tly ramed together groweth unto an holy
temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together or anhabitation o God through the Spirit. (See also 1 Peter 2:5.)
Even ater God provides all this clear evidence that
His temple is a spiritual one, many Christians are waitingor the Jews to receive a construction permit to rebuild a
physical temple on the site where a Muslim mosque now sits.
However, there is no prophecy, promise, or commandment inthe Bible that says the physical temple would ever be rebuilt
ater the Romans razed it nearly 2,000 years ago.

21/32Inside Report 21 2Q 2011
Ater serving in AFCOE or several years, Tyler Long, with hiswie LaVonne, returned to the road to conduct AmazingFacts Bible prophecy seminars in 2010. They hit the groundrunning, as youll see in this report on their work or the Lord!
e knew that when we made the decision to goback on the road, we would have great stories to
share with all o you. We deeply appreciate those
who support Amazing Facts, which enables us to travel
and share the everlasting gospel with searching people.Our rst seminar was in Modesto, Caliornia, a great
church we had worked with our years beore. One amilycame out aithully each night: a mother, her 18-year-old
son, and his ance. Not only were they completing the
Amazing Facts Study Guides each night, they also weremaking decisions to ollow Jesus. (We run an Amazing
Facts Bible school or each event.)
Halway through the seminar, the young man and hisance were married, and they all made the decision to be
baptized together at the end o the seminar. When Tyler
presented Gods standard or adornment, the son took outhis earplugs right then. He had been stretching his ear
lobes or months and was up to a two-inch diameter plug.
For the rest o the seminar and at his baptism, his earlobeswere hanging quite low because o this popular practice.
Meanwhile, Tyler and I happened to see a cosmetic
procedure on television o another man who alsostretched his earlobes. This particular man was having a
dicult time getting a job due to his appearance. So we
began to pray that somehow, some way, the young mancoming to our seminar could get his earlobes cosmetically
xed. By the end o the seminar, God opened the door or
a Christian cosmetic surgeon to oer his services or ree!God is so good!
No Place UnreachableOur second seminar was in McKinleyville, Caliornia.
The church there had not conducted a reaping series
or over a decade, and many wondered i this orm o
evangelism would work or their community. McKinleyvilleis located in an area rie with atheism and New Age religion.
Yet we knew that Gods gospel was a message or all people,
and by aith we knew it would be lie-changing or many.Tyler also oers to provide practical evangelism training
to the church beore the seminar. Over the weekend, churchmembers learn how to talk with people about Christ,
reach their circle o infuence, and put together a database
o interested individuals in the community. The churchresponded powerully and hadnt known just how much
they needed this training.
An Alaskan-Indian woman was at the post oce theaternoon our seminar was to begin. She had been praying
or something, she did not know what, but she knew she
needed to know God better. As she was leaving, she steppedon a piece o paper. That piece o paper changed her lie. It
was our seminar brochure. When she saw that it was begin-
ning that very night, she changed her plans and attended.Though she lives one hour away in the mountains
above the ocean, she would stay each night in her camper
behind the church. As she began to become acquaintedwith the church members, she even helped with the nightly
rereshments. Also graduating rom the Amazing Facts Bible

espite the many obstacles and diculties here in this
beautiul country, God continues to prosper the work
o Amazing Facts in China. Here is just a brie report othe many dierent acets o our work and how God is using your
support to reach people all across the nation o China.
Literature MinistryAlong with our Study Guide book, which contains all our
popular Study Guides, weve added six pocket sermons to our
literature arsenal. Requests or these lie-giving materials come inrom all over China. From the Liaoning Province, a seeker writes:
I want to get the Amazing Facts Study Guide book. Ive just
known God over a year, and I have many Bible questions. I needthese books, and also I want to share them with my classmates
and my ather, so they can be blessed also.
We are now working with 30 to 40 brave colporteurs who sellthese books and our other materials throughout the country.
One o our colporteurs regularly mans his post in ront o a local
church to sell these materials to the congregation as they leavechurch on Sunday. Your support helps us to subsidize the resources
so these workers can support themselves and their amilies.We also recently entered into cooperation with a group that
goes into the remote areas o China to distribute literature. They
distributed Amazing Facts Study Guide books, sermon pocketbooklets, and DVDs to 10 Sunday church groups in Tibet. The
leaders o these groups have been using them in their churches.
Website OutreachOur Chinese-language website, www.qimiaozhenxiang.com,
orms the heart o our operation.It is through this website that anyone who has Internet access
can nd all o our materials and communicate with us. BrotherLiao writes, I love Amazing Facts materials and believe all that it
teaches. My rst contact with Christianity was three years ago, and
I believe that God is the true God. I was baptized in 2008. But Imsad to say that thus
ar my spiritual lie
hasnt grown up evena little. I hope that I
might read and watch
more gospel rom yourwebsite and make
progress in knowing
and doing Gods will.We have also
debuted the Chinese
version o SabbathTruth.com (www.anxiri.com). I think itsamazing and miraculous that we were able to secure the domain
name anxiri, which is the Chinese word or Sabbath! As the
Sabbath question becomes a pivotal issue in the uture andour Chinese riends search the web or inormation about the
Sabbath, its exciting to think that this will be one o the rst
places theyll nd!

Bible Worker TrainingWe have been studying with young couples who will be the
uture leaders o the church in their communities. Thoughwe cannot preach publically, one o the couples reminded us
that what we taught them privately, they will one day preach
publically. I was joyully surprised one Sabbath when I heardthat what I had shared the week beore was being preached at
another local church. Praise the Lord!
Sharing DVDsThe production and distribution o our rst Chinese-
language DVD, Cosmic Conict, has been a great success and
has been viewed inside and outside o China. As a way to gainthe condence o the people and promote our website, we gave
permission or the ree copying and distribution o this DVD.
A Cantonese version also was created bya cooperating mission and an evangelist
edition in English and Chinese was made
in Malaysia. On Tudou.com, one o Chinaslargest video hosting websites, it has been
viewed more 45,000 times this past year.We also decided that we could reach the
greatest number o people with the least
expense using this medium. We have nowcompleted the translation o the rst ve
videos oMost Amazing Prophecies, which Pastor Doug hostedin 2006. In the last ew months, these have been viewed by over30,000 people on Tudou.com! And we have prepared an edited
version or both the Chinese Hope Channel and LLBN Chinese.
Overwhelming ResponseWith the exposure we receive rom our videos, we have seen
the number o rst-time viewers to our website increasing
month by month, as well as the number o requests or ourvideos, sermon pocket booklets, and Study Guide books. But
the most exciting thing is the email we get telling us about how
our materials are reaching and blessing people o all aiths all

I am a worker in the church; I am thirsty or this set obooks and videos, because these are the gits rom God
to our church, especially or the youth and those who aresearching. I watched the MAP videos. These materials are so

From a Sunday church member in Hebei Province
Peace to you, brothers and sisters o Amazing Facts, in

We also take time to answer as many letters as we can. This

I am struggling. I have studied all 27 o the Amazing
Facts lessons and shared them with my worship group.
I know these materials are truth; I am very sad what we
learned beore is not the complete truth. Thank you very
much. My group has started to keep Sabbath and because
o this I have drawn censure rom my superiors. They said
that Christs salvation by grace rees us rom the law so weneednt keep the Sabbath. They said I have become a legalist
now. They stunned me by accusing me o trying to split thechurch. From Guangxi Province
Our ResponseContinue to ollow the truth and work with Gods power;God is with you. Study all the materials rom Amazing Facts
and stand rmly with the truth. We will pray or you and
will send someone to visit you. We are sending some booksand will keep communicating with you on the Internet and

Ive watched all the videos rom Amazing Facts, thosepreached by Pastor Doug. How can I see more o Pastor
Dougs videos and understand the message better?

outside and reacted. His nger pulled the trigger and a shotrang outthe shot that would lead him to prison, a Bible,Amazing Facts, and God.
Days beore, Bobby and his roommate allowed a emaleriend to stay at their apartment ater her boyriend kicked her
out. Soon the boyriend began threateningand even beating Bobbys neighbors. Forprotection, Bobby borrowed a gun.
One evening I saw this man at the bar
down the street and he made another threat,Bobby says. It gave me a really cold eeling.
Later that evening, the man broke intoBobbys apartment and began ghting withBobbys roommate. Thats when Bobby
deliriously entered the room and red thedeadly shot.
As the police sirens grew near, Bobbysriends told him to run, but he reused. He was tired o runningrom his problems; this was it. He was charged with second-degree murder.
While he waited six months in county jail, his home was acell that contained a metal table, a bunk, and a Gideon Bible.On the second day he was there, Bobby picked up a Bible or
the rst time.Although Bobby was raised Catholic, he was no longer
aliated with a church. His amily had been secular and hehad attended public schools. For years, he had been ghting
addictions and running rom his problems. But now he began
reading Psalms and Proverbs. Over the next nine monthsleading to his trial he continued reading the Bible. Yet somehow,he still didnt quite believe it.
I desperately wanted God to be real, Bobby says.The book o Revelation intrigued him because his mind
worked very mechanically and demanded proo. He began
asking around about it, but no one had any answers to give him.I prayed that I would be acquitted o my charges and not go to
prison and that God would show me the truthin Revelation.

Bobby went to prison where he remained orthe next six years. In the army-style prison
dormitory, Bobby kept asking other inmatesabout Revelation. Then he came across thebooklet How Evolution Flunked the Science Testby Joe Crews.
Thats when I learned that evolution wasa arce and my solid oundation began to be built, Bobby says.
Shortly ater reading the tract, another inmate gave Bobby abook about the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation. Four hoursater starting that book, he acknowledged that it was truth.
The understandable and easy-to-read appeal o the booksled Bobby to search or their origins. He ound Amazing Factsaddress on the back o one o the books and ordered a catalog.
I would purchase the books rom Amazing Facts, read them,then pass them out, Bobby explains. As a result, three other
inmates were baptized and a guard began taking Amazing Facts

During this time, Bobby also began and completed theAmazing Facts mail-in Bible study course. He developed ariendship with his grader, Faith, and Bobby asked her manyquestions through letters. Ater grading the lessons, Faith would
research and then explain the answers thoroughly.That was very special to me, Bobby says. It was like I
received a diploma rom a school.
Through his Bible studies, Bobby ound the thing or which hehad been searching: For the rst time in my lie, I had hope.
He began leading a small church gathering out in the
recreation yard every Sabbath. About six inmates participated
each week in reading rom Scripture, Amazing Facts booklets,and Joe Crews pocket
sermons.I saw lives changed,
Bobby says. I saw people

getting out o prison, Bobby walked through the doors o a
church that would become his own. He began attending regularly

the church was so pleased with the outcome o the seminar, and
we cannot wait to visit them again in theuture. Our message is absolutely a message

As they came out to the seminar each night and completed
their Bible school lessons, a change began in their hearts. By theend o the seminar, they were baptized together. Not only that,the husband made a connection with a church member who is
restoring a decommissioned WWII ship. He is nowdoing welding in his spare time to helpwith a WWII museum.
Gods redeeming love has changed theirlives, gave them meaning, and also openednew doors or him to contribute his skills

hen you hear the word infammation, you might think o the
last time you got stung by a bee and the angry red welt that
appeared on your arm. And youd be right. In situations like these, white
blood cells, or macrophages, cluster around a sting, bite, or cut and thearea becomes infamed as the macrophages eat up the inection.
Acute infammation, like in the situation above, is the body s
healthy response to injury, sickness, or chemicals. Its
characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, usually
in a localized area. But new research is uncovering
issues o chronic infammation and the links between
it and disease. Unlike acute infammation, chronic
infammation is invisible.
Chronic Infammation
What causes chronic infammation? Researchers arententirely sure, though obesity plays a role. Some believe its
an immune system gone overboard, as i the on/o switch got
stuck at on. Chronic stress also plays a role by increasing cortisol levels,
which in turn aect insulin levels and metabolism, leading to weight gain.
When stued instead o processed and dealt with, negative thoughts and
eelings can be every bit as toxic to your system as physical stress can be;
research shows a link between depression and stress and infammation.
The typical American diethigh in rened carbohydrates, processed
oods, trans ats, dairy, and animal productsstacks the deck in
infammations avor. Oils high in omega-6 atty acids cause the body
to produce arachidonic acid, which increases infammation. Foods highon the glycemic indexsugar, white four, white potatoes, and other
starchy oodscause a surge in blood sugar and a corresponding
surge in insulin levels. In turn, high insulin levels increase the
levels o arachidonic acid in the blood and activate the
immune system.
As you can see, chronic infammation is a complex
issue. But its an important one: Research shows a
strong link between infammation and diabetes
and heart disease; in act, some propose adding
infammation to the group o actors indicating
metabolic syndrome. (You might recall rom a previousHealth Bite that metabolic syndrome is a cluster o three
or more risk actors including excess weight, high triglycerides,
low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar). Other
diseases related to chronic infammation include cancer, Alzheimers,
rheumatoid arthritis, bromyalgia, and other autoimmune diseases.
Blood tests can reveal the markers o infammation: high sensitivity
C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), brinogen, and
W
Foods ThatIncrease Infammation
Safower, sunfower, corn, peanut, and soybean oils
Rened carbohydratessugar, white four, etc
Trans ats/hydrogenated oils
Common allergens like casein (ound in dairy products)
and gluten (ound in wheat products)
Possibly: eggs, dairy, soy, and, or some people, nuts
Foods ThatDecrease Infammation
Fish oil (high in omega-3 atty acids; use in moderation
due to risk o mercury contamination)
Flaxseed and walnuts (high in omega-3 atty acids)
Dark leay greens and other brightly colored vegetables
Herbs such as turmeric, oregano, garlic, and ginger and
green tea and blueberries (contain biofavonoids and poly-
phenols that limit ree-radical production)
Grapeseed oil or cooking and olive oil or salad dressings

plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1), and asting blood insulin level.
Though asting insulin level is a test or diabetes, it can be a helpul
marker o infammation as well: The higher the insulin levels, the moreinfammation present in the body.
Get BetterTo combat chronic infammation, lose weight. Extra weight, especiallyin the abdominal region, creates extra c ytokines (infammatory
messengers) and hs-CRP. Avoid trans ats, which increase LDL cholesterol
(the bad kind) and in turn
