The End of the World GLOW TIP #12 Contact Information
Slip a GLOW tract in with Christmas cards as you mail them to family and friends. What a great way to keep Christ in Christmas.

There is never a shortage of theories about the end of the world. Perhaps the most spectacular for this year surrounds the end of the Mayan calendar. Theories come and go and every time one fails people become more desensitized to the truth about the end.

REACHING OUT
A New Year’s eve church service is a neat way to help your friends and neighbors get acquainted with your church family. Invite a special speaker, or celebrate the Lord’s supper. Allow time for reflection and sharing as you ‘pray in’ the new year.

This is not the case for Christians though. We have long

known that the Bible is the only reliable source for facts about the end of the world. The Bible holds hundreds of prophecies many of which enlighten us about the end and passages such as Matthew 24 and Luke 21 reveal to us that the end is near. Satan’s purpose is to deceive everyone he possibly can, so how can we be ready for the end? Read this tract to learn more.

GLOW Crosses Boundaries
Just last week seven year old Kimberly saw something that caught her attention. Kimberly attends a daycare program owned by Elena M. who happens to be a GLOW leader for the local Seventh-day Adventist church. Kimberly observed Elena sorting through some “2012 and the End of the World” GLOW tracts. Having heard about the Mayan calendar Kimberly asked Elena how long she had to live. Elena responded that the world was not going to end as predicted by the Mayan calendar. Kimberly re-
GLOW recently received the following email from the Netherlands:
ceived a GLOW tract from Elena and then asked her for some more for her friends, teachers and Spanish speaking relatives. Elena gave her twenty English tracts plus several Spanish tracts. To top it of, when Kimberly’s mother picked her up from daycare she noticed the GLOW tracts and asked Elena about them. Kimberly’s mother confessed that she also was concerned about the 2012 prediction. Finally she asked Elena about her beliefs and then accepted Elena’s invitation to attend church that weekend.
Today Alieke and I went to a Bible study at an international evangelical church in Cyprus. We thought this would be a good opportunity to share our faith and some English GLOW tracts. We didn't know what the beliefs of the church were but we prayed for a good study and an opportunity to share our beliefs. We were totally surprised by the topic of the study which was the second coming and how to prepare for it. This couldn't be a coincidence as we had brought a lot of GLOW tracts on the end of the world. After the study the group was discussing how difficult evangelism can be.

At that moment we introduced our GLOW tracts to the group as a means of evangelism. They were very excited about them. The leader of the group who was from the UK and would be returning there soon took most of our GLOW tracts with him. Another man wanted to spread them in another city on the island where he is leading a church. This Sunday the evangelical church will present GLOW to their pastor. This evening we lost all our GLOW tracts! Let’s pray for these and other sincere Christians and for their attempts in spreading GLOW tracts.
