Survival Require-ments for a Christian in Hollywood - Part 1
"I am often asked how I maintain my Christian convictions while working in Hollywood and if could offer any advice for aspiring Christian actors..."

The Satanic Influence
"...has Satan had any influence on you and me? Is there any deception with the Church? That's what we are going to look at closely..."

"I couldn't believe my eyes!"

From the season 2 episode titled: "When Things Go Wrong"

Earlier this month Kirk hosted 2 hours of must see TV on the Trinity Broadcast Network. We received a flood of emails with comments like “Unbelievable!” “I never thought I’d see that on TBN!” and “How did you pull that off?!” Candace Cameron (Kirk’s sister from Full House) shared her testimony, and Natalie Grant and Kory Welsh sang. When asked what it was like to interview John MacArthur, Kirk said, “It felt like Babe Ruth was up to bat and I was simply tossing him softballs. He knocked every one out of the park!” Ray Comfort spoke of his popular new book “What Hollywood Believes” (as recently featured on Fox News) and Steven Curtis Chapman finished off the night (after arriving in the nick of time by helicopter from the Jay Leno show) to sing three not yet released songs inspired by John Piper’s book “Don’t Waste Your Life”. Kirk gave a very clear gospel presentation for the viewing “backsliders” and unbelievers and previewed some footage from the upcoming season of The Way of the Master television series.

We are considering having this DVD produced, and we’d like to know how many people would be interested in a copy. If you would like a copy of this program for your home library or to show friends who missed it, then send us an email to let us know. The number of emails we receive will help us decide if we need to make the DVDs available. Click here to send an email request.

New Growing Pains Movie - Oct. 16th

Kirk filmed another ABC Growing Pains movie earlier this year. The first one was very popular, and this one is even better. It airs October 16th. This gives Kirk an even higher profile, which in turn causes greater interest in The Way of the Master TV program. Many channel surfers beach themselves when they see a familiar face; and our goal in having witnessing sessions in every program isn’t just to train Christians, it’s our hope that non-Christians tune in and hear the Gospel as well.

See what the Boot Camp is all about...
Now you can watch the Boot Camp video online!

Watch the Bootcamp video ONLINEYou don't want to miss this two-minute video! You'll see clips from the first and the second GNN Evangelism Boot Camp, and get to hear all about it. This camp has changed the lives of the Christians who've attended... they've gone back home challenged and equipped in ways they never guessed possible. If you want to completely rejuvenate your life in Christ... then make every effort to attend this camp. Just listen to what some of the boot campers are saying about their experience...

Many boot campers (including Marv P., pictured above), open air preached for the very first time on this trip.

"Its about meeting lifelong friends, seeing God work miracles, and overcoming fears and reaching the lost. I am not the same and never want to be again. It should be basic training for all Christians!"
Marv P., Owosso, Michigan

"If you want to be able to share your faith effectively, and to pierce through any fear you may have approaching people, this is definitely the push you need toward fishing for men! You will be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to reach the lost in a way unlike any I've ever seen. These folks truly walk in the footsteps of Jesus!"
Carrie C., Denver, Colorado

Next GNN Boot Camp October 14-17

(The State Fair of Texas is considered to be the largest state fair in the United States.) There will be plenty of opportunity for open-air preaching and perfecting those one-on-one witnessing skills. If you want to be included, please book early as it will be limited to one hundred people. See www.thegreatnews.com for details.

Maybe it was You...
This week we received the following letter:

Are you good enough to go to heaven?To Whom It May Concern:
Hi, my name is Angel. I’m a 29 year old mother of two children and married to my high school sweetheart for 6 years.
I was recently outside of my workplace, taking in the last few minutes of my lunchbreak, when a man walked by. We said hello and he proceeded to go in. Then he turned back around - gave me a pamphlet and said, "Here - something for you to look over." I smiled and thanked him. When I looked at the pamphlet it read "Are you good enough to go to heaven?"
Well, my first response was yes, I love God, and I’m basically a good person. But then I said no, because I’m not worthy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Then quickly changed my mind again and thought that because God loves me so much that I would go to Heaven.
Then I read the pamphlet! I never knew I had broken so many of the commandments. Although familiar with all ten I never looked at them in the ways you had written.
My main reason for writing was to let you know you opened my eyes to the reality of what kind of "Christian" I am. I have been backsliding in many things and this little pamphlet made me realize it. Thank you for your tracts and I would like the free list you mentioned at the end of the tract.
Thanks again and God Bless You! And God Bless my special stranger!

What Hollywood BelievesOpening Those "Firmly" Closed Doors...
--Ray Comfort
Recently I was flying from Seattle to Los Angeles when I struck up a conversation with a woman who was sitting next to me. After some time I asked if she had seen The Passion of the Christ. She hadn't. When I asked if she had a Christian background, she answered, "Lutheran...you're not going to talk to me about Christianity, are you?" I said that I would like to. She firmly said that she didn't want that conversation. It was a firmly closed door.

Two hours later, as we came in to land I got a copy of What Hollywood Believes out of my bag, and said, "I presume you don't want a copy of my book." She read the title, and said, "I would love a copy!" That incident, once again, confirmed to me the power of celebrity with this world.

This book has been specifically designed for the unsaved.

Here are some reviews:

“I love this book! It's fascinating . . . perfect to give a friend.”
- Janet Parshall (Janet Parshall's America)

“It will keep you spellbound . . .”
- Carol Henry (WKTO, Daytona Beach, FL)

“I couldn't put it down! This is one of the best books I have ever read!”
- Brittany Jones

..:: Incredible Results in Brazil ::..
This one sent in by Ky F., Bossier City, LA.

I recently returned from Brazil where I shared the gospel with many, many people. I started with creation, telling them that God created them and everything they see. Then, I told them that man rebelled against God. Then, I told them God gave His Law to show us that we have sinned against Him. Then, I would go through the Law one by one. Almost in every home I preached in, the crowd was somewhat unconcerned until I went through the Law. It was so incredible. The guys that were with me listening noticed the same thing. They had never heard of [the Way of the Master teaching], but they noticed the "deer in the headlight" look on the people's faces when I brought out the Law. They knew why I shared the Ten Commandments before I could even explain to them why I was going through them. I didn't even have to explain to my partners why I did that. They knew, simply because of the reaction of the people when I got to that point in the message. What a testimony to the conviction of the Holy Spirit THROUGH the Law. Anyway, only two people (out of about 50-70) rejected the gospel for the week I was there. The first home I preached in, one couple broke down crying when I went through the Law. She was a witch. She came to Christ. Another lady who was studying at the Seventh Day Adventist church broke down crying when I continued to press the question, "How would God let you, a sinner, into Heaven on the Day of Judgment?" She broke so strong and yielded her life to Christ. It was incredible. There were Jehovah's Witnesses that came to Christ and they set-up meetings with their friends within two days because they wanted their friends to hear the gospel presented to them.
