Thank the Lord for another year.  We are beginning our 9^th with the Mission and very glad to be involved.

Promise for the Pilgrim

Heb 10:23  Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Hold on to your faith (not to be saved, but useful) by putting it to use, today!  "Faith without works is dead."

Victories in the Vineyard

Year End

Amazing Grace Mission
The mission as a whole had another God-blessed year with over 35,000 professions across the globe.  The international ministry is really picking up steam.  People everywhere, not just in the US, want to know how to be saved.

Winning and Warning - The Andres' God-given Ministry
* Involved in 36 events
* 2714 made professions
* 86,628 tracts were placed in accepting hands
* 321 workers helped in the booth - many of these stepped to another level of Christian maturity
* 1024 received a witness but did not make a profession immediately - this number is not strictly recorded and is actually at least 3 - 4 times higher, but we marked down 1024
* 210 received assurance of their salvation - this number is also not watched closely, but may be only 50% too low.
All of these numbers translate into one statement … 

   You prayers, giving and encouragement contributed to touching over 90,000 lives in 2008. 
   Only the Lord knows how many tracts have been read and past on to others.

The above number does not include those whose numbers are not easily recordable.  For instance …
1. The 1000 plus who receive this monthly Soul Winning News Letter (over 12,000 per year)
2. The hundreds and hundreds around the world who visit our web site (www.AndresUSA.com) …
* to see how to be saved
* to receive assurance of salvation
* to see how to get started in public ministry
* to receive encouragement in soul winning
* to learn how to use a witness pamphlet
* to read testimonies of recent salvations and much more …

Thank the Lord for giving us www.AndresUSA.com.  This past week a foreign Missionary/Pastor of a fundamental Baptist Church wrote to ask about how their church could reach their community because the cults had just about ruined their door-to-door programs.

Sagemont Christmas Festival
Sagemont church in Houston put on their own Christmas Festival and used out methods to seat prospects for an age old witness.  138 made professions.  Dozens of workers were involved and all were very excited about what God was doing.

Canyon Lake Christmas Parade, Sattler, TX
640 tracts were distributed to very willing hands.  Some asked for tracts for others in their family or acquaintances.  Parades are the most enjoyable events we do.  Everyone is in a festive mood and people in general will take anything free, even the chicken pox.

Touching Testimonies

Logan        15

My life is saved and I can live free.

We thought these words were troubling for a 15 year old.

Kendra      17

I just called on the Lord’s name and asked him to save me, and I meant it.

Erin            22

I came for reassurance and I received it.  Thanks.

We feel most readers would be surprised how often this happens.

Virginia     60

For sure I’m going to heaven.

Most would be surprised how often this does not happened for people of this age.

Hannah      18

I feel that what I’ve just done was start my life over in a way.  I thank God for people like those who volunteered to help others see the light.  Thank you.

It is difficult sometimes to realize that there are many at the age of 18 who would like to start their lives over.

Sandra       48

God came into my heart and saved me.

Roberto     40

I felt happiness and joy hearing about God.

Points for Prayer and Praise

Pray that we can be involved with 50 events this year, give out 150,000 tracts and see 3500 make a profession of faith.  These are huge numbers, but not for the Lord.  The Lord gave us some numbers this year which had seemed very large before.

Our support is ever increasing, but our vision for Soul Winning at Public Events is ever expanding.  If we report we are fully supported, mark us down as having lost our vision. We need your help to continue to move forward in winning the lost.
