agreed to give Him a try. When they opened their eyes after
praying a salvation prayer, one after the other said, “That
felt so nice! Thanks so much!” You can’t automatically quit
when people profess atheism!
(From Keren, 15:) Every time I go witnessing, it makes
me appreciate all that I have been blessed with! I’ve grown
up in an atmosphere where people are kind, concerned,
and, well, real! It seems that so many people nowadays feel
that they have to put up a front and act differently around
others. I really saw this at the Rendezvous festival. We met
and interacted with a lot of young people, and one thing I
noticed was that at first glance they all seemed happy-golucky
and carefree, but when I got to talking with them,
although they looked like they had it all, they were pretty
lost, and desperately searching for the truth. My heart
went out to them!
I talked to one of the girls participating in the music contest,
and before 15 minutes were up, she had prayed with me
to ask Jesus into her life. I explained, “Jesus will never leave
you or forsake you.” She said, “Thank you so much for this
precious gift! You don’t know how much it means to me.” I
took her phone number and promised to stay in touch.
(From Usha, 15:) It’s always amazing to me how we can
walk up to complete strangers and start talking with them
about deep topics like God and the meaning of life—and
they’ll actually stop and listen! It goes to show that people
are searching. It’s not always the “coolest” thing to do in the
eyes of the world, but whenever I put my self-image aside
and tell people about Jesus, their reaction makes me so glad
that I did! I was able to witness to nearly 30 people at this
festival.
(From Nick, 15:) I can’t think of anything else that makes
me happier than knowing that I can offer one more person
the wonderful gift of salvation through Jesus. I don’t think
I’ll forget those two days of witnessing at Rendezvous for a
long, long time! We hit the IIT music festival with guitars,
Activated magazines, and a prayer in our hearts for the many
other young people who are searching for meaning in life.
The response to the Activated magazine is terrific! It’s an
amazing tool to introduce Jesus to these young people.
Can I be satisfied with only reaching a handful with the
Lord’s love Absolutely not! Telling people about Jesus and
seeing them change is such a thrill! The more I do it, the more
I want to do it!

much. I looked at her for a long
time.
Simon Peter, your testimony
from Uganda and your radio
show is fantastic! I read it to my
kids and we all flipped at how receptive
people are and how much
you’re doing to feed their hearts.
We would like to know how we
can listen to the radio show if we
are at a different time zone from
Uganda. My kids are super eager
to listen to your show! I think
you may actually get many extra
listeners not from Africa, ha!
Last but not least, thank you
for the Letter on praise! We always
need more of this to help
us keep it up and not grow stale
in using this weapon and wonderful
way to thank our Lord!

ink is a great development,
a wonderful tool to unite all
Family members whatever their
level of discipleship. I really like
the way some of each aspect of
Family doctrine, news, and testimonies
are brought together in a
bright, handy, and easy to digest
format that offers something to
everyone—a truly unifying pub.
