We&#8217;ve recently had it on our hearts to share about Jesus&#8217; coming to the people closest to us\u2014our neighbors. On a walk around the block, God gave us an idea to pray through our neighborhood and distribute a great little book called <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodseed.com\/what-are-christmas-and-easter-all-about.html\">What are Christmas and Easter All About?<\/a><\/em>\u00a0published by GoodSeed. This is a quality, 80-page book that thoroughly explains the Gospel in a way that is easy to understand. We&#8217;ve also given these books out to about 100 international students last week at a Christmas banquet. If you&#8217;re interested in getting some to use for yourself, check out the GoodSeed website at goodseed.com. If you order them by the case (100 copies) you can get them for $1 each\u2014almost the price of a tract!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to our friends for letting us share their story. We pray that everyone who received a copy of the book will read and understand the life-saving message of the gospel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were very encouraged when we opened a prayer letter from a missionary family and read the following testimony.
