| Creation for Kids Series |
We have two very exciting new books for kids. What Your Nose Shows boldly takes the human nose in hand and uses it to show something about which the world turns up its nose. It deliberately ignores God's incredible creative genius. Kids love this hardback high quality and beautifully illustrated book.
Scratch and Sniff is the story of a dog called "Sniff" and a cat called "Scratch" who get into mischief, and then go shopping with their human family. The book clearly shows the genius of God in creation, as well as presenting the biblical gospel in a way that children can understand. The publication is unique because as each page turns the reader not only sees what is going on in the story, but he or she can smell what's going on. They can actually sniff mom's apple pie as it sits in her kitchen. They can smell the barbeque as dad cooks dinner outside, etc. Scratch and Sniff is more than a book. It's an experience . . . one that kids will go back to again and again.

| New Tract - Mind Game |
Our brand new tract, Mind Game , launches off of a classic card trick and into a gospel message. On the front side of the tract, the person is asked to pick a card and keep it in mind. When he turns the tract over, amazingly, the card he was thinking about is gone!
If you've never seen this trick before, it really does cause a momentary shock to the system. People's eyes widen in surprise, then seconds later they smile as realize how it was done. That moment of realization is used as the jumping off point for the gospel message.
If you like the curved illusion, you're going to love this one. Check it out online to see how it's done. |

| Giant Money at NAAM - Stevie Wonder gets one... |
Our friend Steve Sanchez of Hope Chapel gave Mr. Wonder a Giant Money tract on Martin Luther King Day in Los Angeles. Click here to watch a three-minute video and see how these tracts are snapped up by the lost.
- "People hunt me down to get extra copies."
- "They go fast."
- "NOBODY I ever gave this to threw it away!"
- "By far the easiest tract to hand out!! Everyone loves these and will ask for extras."
- "The thought at first of handing out a giant one hundred dollar bill seamed strange. It wasn't until I gave one away and saw the smile it gave as well as the great message on the back which opened conversation that I realized the power of this tract."
- "This is an AWESOME tract. I was at the NASCAR race in Talladega, Alabama and handed out 100 of these in a matter of minutes."
- "When I give these out to the kids at market, their eyes get as big as saucers."

| Transformed Florida |
The hottest place to be in Florida on March 15 is at McGregor Baptist Church for Transformed. One afternoon, four speakers (Ray, Kirk, Todd, EZ) with one goal: to get you equipped to share your faith. Don't take our word for it, listen to what these Transformed attendees had to say:
- "I attended with my 16 year old, and I want to thank you for the clarity of the presentation. I had listened to Ray's CDs prior to coming, but my daughter had not, and we both left with a solid witnessing tool."
- "Just seemed to go by too, too fast"
Cost? It's FREE. But you must register. C'mon, join us in sunny Fort Myers. Even if we were going to be in Anchorage, Transformed is going to be HOT.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I've watched the first DVD and I can't believe how detailed you guys bring the information we need... I'm not a fast learner; this DVD is extremely basic and answered all my basic questions. I can't wait to watch the others." ~ Julio C. of Florida |

| Dallas Man Can Share His Faith at Transit Station |
A man told by police that he can't engage in free speech at a Dallas transit station without purchasing a ticket has been restored his First Amendment rights. Upon receiving a letter from the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) agreed to allow Daniel Bailey to continue his activities without buying a ticket. Bailey has been sharing his faith and handing out Gospel tracts at the station for two years. "Christians should not be treated as second-class citizens simply because they choose to exercise their faith in public," said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley. "We appreciate the quick and courteous response of DART officials in resolving this matter and are pleased that Mr. Bailey will now be able to return to his activities." |

A brother named Alan B. Dipietro called and said he gave President Jimmy Carter The Evidence Bible, and was thrilled that he actually took it to church the next day. Let's hope he reads it.

Bumper Stickers
Sent in by Carolyn E.
Hi, I have been handing out your tracts for several years, and the urgency that Ray often talks about has pushed me to make your websites such as DeathBeth.com and HollywoodandGod.com to the highway. Taking the gospel into the fast lane has never been so easy. Just go to MAKESTICKERS.COM , and design your own. Then on MAKESIGNS.COM you can even make big signs that stick to the side of your car. That's my next project. Instead of "Honk if you love Jesus," these are stickers that make an impact.
Million Dollar Bill
Sent in by Pastor Steve Sanchez of Hope Chapel, Hermosa Beach, CA
Just recently, I was speaking to a woman who is new to our church. She had an interesting story about how she came to Hope Chapel. She was walking through the parking lot of our local shopping mall when a million dollar bill blew onto her foot. She reached down, picked it up, read the back of the bill, and promptly went to our church's website that is printed on the back of the bill. She visited our church for the next three weeks and when our pastor made an altar call for salvation after a weekend message, she responded by giving her life to Christ.
Wal-Mart Policy in California
Sent in by
I visited my local Wal-Mart recently, and on my way in I noticed a table set up near the entrance advertising LA Fitness. I thought I would inquire about setting up a table to pass out tracts. I was amazed at how simple it was to obtain permission to do it. I was told to speak to "Joy," she just asked me what days I wanted, and needed some samples of the literature. I gave her a handful of tracts, and asked her to read each one thoroughly. A couple of days later I went back, and booked my days. She told me that it is Wal-Mart's policy to allow ANY group/individual to have a table 14 days per year, 8 hours per day. Myself and the evangelism team of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa have been there the last two Friday nights. We've handed out hundreds, if not thousands, of tracts plus books, and "Greatest Gamble" DVDs.
