Sharing the Gospel sometimes simply means giving away a book that explains it.

As our books, DVDs, audiobooks, picture books and curriculum are given out all around the world, we hear stories of how the tools have made an impact in people’s lives. Suddenly, the core message of the Bible becomes clear for someone who never understood it before.

Below are a number of stories we’ve received over the years from people just giving away one of our tools to a friend, co-worker, neighbour, loved one or to a stranger they had only just met.

We would love to hear from you. If you have given away a GoodSeed tool and have a story to share, please share it with us. Or if you received a GoodSeed tool and have been impacted by it, we’d like to hear from you too.

Please tell us your story or testimony in the comment box below to encourage others to keep on sharing or giving the gospel. You can also send an email to [email protected]. By the way, we’re assuming you won’t mind us writing a fuller article based on your story to post on our site. (If not, let us know in your note.)

I’m very encouraged with the work of GoodSeed. We have used the Russian translation extensively here in Siberia for both discipleship and evangelism. Thanks for your service to the Lord, and your desire to see His gospel clearly proclaimed.

I have read “The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus”—you have done an excellent job of unifying the Scripture and avoiding “rabbit trails.” I am planning to teach my first seminar next month—I’m really looking forward to it.

My mother gave my son a copy of “The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus” for his birthday. Before he got a chance to read it both my wife and I read it and were throughly blessed by it. I now use it as an outreach ministry. Giving the book is a non threatening way to allow the Holy Spirit to work in the unbelievers as they read this GREAT book.

Today I visited my doctor. He had “The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus” displayed on a table in his office. After reading the back cover of the book I asked Dr. Kidd if I would enjoy the book because it says on the back… “for the person who knows nothing about the world’s bestseller—the Bible” I do have more than the average knowledge of the Bible. He replied, “everyone will get something from this book. I give it to all my non-christian patients.” Isn’t that wonderful, what a ministry he has? Anyway, he loaned me the book. I cannot tell you in enough words how I am enjoying this book. I cannot wait to finish it. I am going to have a look at the workbook and purchase one for a Bible study later on. I was surprised that this book got passed me in the book stores… as I am a avid reader. Now I realize you are a non-profit organization. Thank you so much…..

The drawings inside “The Stranger” book are excellent. I hope in the near future, there is possibly a picture or comic book version. It is extremely helpful in rural Mainland China. Thank you.

In this series of studies that we are teaching, a NZ born ethnic Indian lady became a Christian. Lina became a Christian not long after we had started the studies. We were only up to teaching about Abraham when a conviction of being a sinner and needing a Saviour came upon her. As we have carried on through the studies, she has shown a wonderful understanding of the message of salvation. Less than 60 minutes ago, our daughter Hadassah, rang me to tell that 8 of 10 of the kids that go to her Junior high group have just accepted the Lord as their Saviour. Hadassah is using the TERM studies (a study through The Stranger). I am just writing this so that you know this method of teaching the gospel to the unsaved works. Pray, teach it, and allow God to save the lost. Praise God.

I have been so impressed with the audiobook of, “The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus”, that I had to buy more hard copies to pass out to family and friends that need to hear this wonderful explanation of the Bible. I thank God for having you write it. What a treasure!! You will be hearing from others soon to order it as I tell everyone I know about this exciting new find. I really loved the layout, simplicity and clarity with which you told God’s plan for mankind. Pray with me for those reading it that they will accept the Truth about our Lord and Savior. May God bless all who read it and you for writing it. I am SO thankful to have ordered it.
