Activated News
50 in a
day
April,
England: It
was one of the last few days of the AIP (Activated Incentive Program) when Juan, Caleb, and I
decided to go out witnessing and not come home until we'd won fifty souls.
We went to a park in the middle of Birmingham and by lunchtime had
won twenty souls. We tried provisioning lunch from many different places, but none of them wanted
to donate. Then we saw a fancy Indian restaurant and went in to talk with the manager. He agreed
to give us a meal and told us to come back in ten minutes or so and he would have the food
ready.
We went back out witnessing
for a bit more and when we came back to the restaurant, we saw that he had set out an entire
buffet for us! We thanked him and gave him an Activated magazine. We witnessed at a
"Gothic hang-out" and won twenty more souls. We went back to the park and won five
more. We were five souls short of our goal, but we asked the Lord if we should head home, and He
told us to start going home but to witness on the way. While on our way we saw a group of five
people and they all got saved as well. Thank You, Jesus!
Effects of Night Light Live
Robin, Uganda: For some time now, Simon had been airing a preassembled show, Night
Light Live, complete with Family music, Loving Jesus quotes, stories from
Activated, Good Thots, and much more. Recently though, the Lord showed him that
it'd be more fruitful if he did the show live.
This new method has proven to be very fruitful, as on average, we
are getting about 15 prayer requests a night by SMS. It's inspiring to see this show reaching
important people who are able to listen at that time, from 10 pm through 11 pm.
As they wind down, it helps them to put aside the cares and problems of the day and tune into
Jesus. A PR officer for the Ugandan Parliament asked to meet us and we prayed with her to receive
Jesus. She had seen the example of the Christian ladies at her work, and they had impressed her
with their kind and loving ways. She tuned into the radio, heard about the 12 Foundation
Stones course, and decided it would be a good way for her to learn about becoming a
Christian. She is very excited to be starting her course, and in addition, she wants to meet us
from time to time so we can have personal contact with her.

I find your teachings
interesting, so it was worth the search and research. I am a Minister at the Internet Based
Non-Denominational United Christian Faith Ministries, and as it is also a home-based church, I
find the Family's teachings very convenient and adequate to my ministry. As I was looking for
the best non-denominational church to be able to use as help in this mission, I feel that the
Family fits the best for what I believe is needed to bring people to know about God.

I was overjoyed to
receive the Activated magazine. Thank you very much and especially for the contents.
"Change your life, change your world," this is what is missing in the Congo. To become
a mountain man is all I want. Archimedes said, "Give me a lever long enough and a place to
stand and I will move the world." What if Jesus had been his lever? His ambition would have
been crowned with success. I look forward to continuing to read your magazine. May God bless
you.

The seventh issue of the Activated mag has had a very
positive influence in my Christian life, as it has motivated me not to cast away my confidence in
our God. I have led a very trying, tempting and hazardous life, but when I finally came to
know Christ and His saving power, He took all my burdens away, and now I am still waiting
patiently for Him to come and give my life, which the Devil has had a hold on for so long, a
complete overhaul. When the scripture says that the Devil came to kill, steal, and destroy, it is
definitely the truth. But I can boldly say that Jesus came to restore to us that which the Devil
stole. May God bless you and all the Activated team for your good
work.
