From the desk of John Bradshaw
Dear Partner in ministry,
God has given us the opportunity to pursue many high-impact evangelism opportunities this year. I am looking forward to lives changing and to many people finding hope and a new direction. In my personal devotional time recently, I have been reading and re-reading the book of Romans, where Paul states that the gospel is “the power of God unto salvation” (Romans 1:16). As a result of your support of It Is Written, we will see this power unleashed in the coming months.
Let me share an encouraging story with you. What you are about to read took place as God’s blessing rested upon your support of It Is Written.
After Brenda endured the tragic loss of her husband, her thoughts turned to her sister, Heather. Brenda had a burden for Heather to know Jesus, and she prayed for wisdom as to how to best share Jesus with Heather.
When Brenda invited her sister to watch the It Is Written evangelistic series, Revelation Today: The Great Reset, the response was positive. “I’d love to,” Heather replied. After the series, Heather then watched It Is Written TV, It Is Written’s full-time channel, over the next 12 months, grateful for the truth God was revealing to her heart. Heather surrendered her life to Jesus and was baptized.
Heather then learned It Is Written was coming to her hometown to present the Revelation Today: The Great Reset series. Her husband, who had recently become interested in the Bible, accepted her invitation and attended the meetings with her. His life was transformed, and he was baptized at the conclusion of the series.
This incredible, life-changing chain of events began with evangelism in another town, continued with It Is Written TV, extended to a series of meetings, and resulted in a wife and her husband both being baptized!
In reality, though, this remarkable process began long before. It began when you responded to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to contribute to the evangelistic outreach of It Is Written. Your support of the gospel made it possible for Brenda to invite her sister to meet Jesus in His Word, setting off circumstances that changed multiple lives.
Your partnership with It Is Written will be used by the Holy Spirit to reach more people like Heather and her husband. I believe the time is right—right now—to press forward with evangelistic outreach. Current global events are convincing people that this is a changed and changing world, and my team and I are seeing more people than ever with an openness toward spiritual things.
In April, we begin a major outreach in the state of Alaska. In addition to introducing people to Christ through the key teachings of the Bible, we will also be conducting significant mission campaigns. One mission team will be traveling to Bethel, a small city several hundred miles west of Anchorage, and providing essential medical and social services, while another team will be conducting a large medical clinic in Anchorage.
Combined with preaching the everlasting gospel and livestreaming the evangelistic meetings across Alaska, we anticipate God will use this series to great effect.
Your gift to It Is Written this month will support not only the major outreach in Alaska, but also other It Is Written evangelism projects, resulting in souls won for the kingdom of heaven. Without your financial assistance, there is no It Is Written evangelism, and Heather and her husband would not be living in the hope of Jesus’ soon return. Your support of It Is Written right now will ensure the story of Brenda, Heather, and Heather’s husband will be repeated many times.
And may I ask you one more thing? Please pray for this initiative. Without prayer, little of any lasting good can result from conducting evangelistic meetings, mission trips, and health clinics. We are in desperate need of the presence and power of God. As we give together, and pray together, we can together expect God to do great things.
May God bless and keep you.
Yours for a finished work,
Pastor John Bradshaw
President, It Is Written
P.S. The story of Brenda and Heather is a remarkable one, but it is just like God to reach people in remarkable ways. Even now, God is moving on the hearts of people we have not yet met. He invites us to join Him in reaching millions with the good news of the gospel. This is the work that is done when you join with It Is Written, both financially and through your prayers. This month, please join me in extending the reach of It Is Written evangelism to Alaska and around the world.
