The 'GOD Sent' MISSION"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

      World Wide Gospel Tracts, Inc., in Pasadena, CA was started by an itinerant minister with a $300,000 inheritance.  He wanted to become a Missionary and use his money to Spread the Gospel as far as he could, when he met a younger 40 year old, (also single) Registered Nurse with the same burden for the Lost! After much deliberation the LORD showed them that there are already Many Many TENs of THOUSANDs of Foreign Nationals already in these countries who already know the Languages, like the Food, are adapted to the climates and terrains, know all the ins and outs of living there AND are well accepted by their countrymen!  And since it can easily cost $50,000 a year to train and supply a USite Missionary, who OFTEN Must come home early, etc. etc. etc., the LORD showed Rev. Thomas Schultz and RN Patrick Laurie that their Monie$ would be Much More FRUITfully spent supplying specific Foreign Nationals with money to have Scripture Tracts printed On Site @ $2,000 a MILLION from Commercial Printers  and as low as $800 to $1,000 a MILLION from CHRISTIAN Printers, who would only charge for the cost of paper, ink and electricity!
   Founded in 1993, WWGT, Inc. has had printed roughly 320 MILLION Scripture Tracts, in 44 different languages, in INDIA, AFRICA, and LATIN AMERICA.  Around 1996 they stopped counting the Salvations when they passed 10,000.  Their GOD-Ordained SUCCESS has been phenomenal, with Many pictures of entire villages going down to the nearest body of water or river to be baptized. [New Testament Christianity Continues!!!]
   Patrick was continuing the ministry on his salary alone, after the Founder's inheritance was used up in 2005, which effectively cut their efforts in HALF.  But on January 5th, 2008,  Patrick was MUGGED  by 2 young Thugs, who hit him over the head (with a Metal Folding Chair?) and then kicked and jumped on him repeatedly when they only found $17.00 in his wallet!
(3 Broken Ribs, Injured Arm. Leg AND TBI ('Traumatic Brain Injury') resulted!!    {AFTER the hospital had given Patrick as much time as they could afford, they had to Terminate him after close to 6 months on Sick Leave!} 

   (to be continued!)

	The now deceased former President of World Wide Gospel Tracts, Inc. (WWGT), Patrick Laurie, was attacked several times by his neighbor, Tom. Patrick had explained, on numerous occasions, how much Tom hated him, and that 3 times Tom had threatened to Kill him, always laced with gross expletives!! Patrick explained that Tom, as a decorated Marine War hero, having fought valiantly in the Korean War, seemed terribly upset by Pat's trusted 70's truck which Pat had covered with "JESUS SAVES" type bumper stickers! But when Patrick called the Police after the second attack, they explained to him (after interviewing Pat, then Tom and his wife) that they would have to arrest Pat also, since Tom's Korean wife had told the police that Patrick had come into their home and attacked her husband!! Patrick had often told me that IF he suddenly wound up DEAD that I would Know that TOM had succeeded in KILLING him!! And it was only because of Pat's earlier training in Marshall Arts Self-Defense that had enabled him to ward off Tom's many kicks to his knees, etc. Well, I got a call telling me that I had been named as a beneficiary on Pat's small insurance policy. Seems Tom's Marine training in stealth tactics finally worked in catching Pat off guard and killing him! SO, all I can do now is PRAY that the phenomenal work that WWGTs started in 13 Third World countries, providing funds to Foreign Nationals to have Scripture Tracts (85 to 95% straight Scripture, KJV, in 44 languages and dialects) printed And Given Away for FREE to Foreign Nationals Eager to share the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST with their lost countrymen, but just lacking the TOOLs to SHARE the GOSPEL, will keep rippling through the 13 nations, as entire villages keep coming to the LORD!!!

	A Missionary, give or take a few $$$ Thousand $$$, can easily run between $30 to $50,000 US Dollars per year, and due to MANY limiting factors, MANY, maybe even MOST will return to the 'States' with ONLY a handful of Salvations, and VERY DISCOURAGED, with "their tail between their legs!" PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME that I am attempting to Criticize ANY Missionaries Heart, Motives, EFFORTs, or ANYthing else about their efforts!!! BUT, When you look at the FACTs, you find that the MAIN Reason TRACTs are So Little Used, is due to COST EFFECTiVENESS!!!

	Patrick had emphasized, "IF ONLY the CHURCH would catch the ViSiON of supplying Fully Qualified Foreign Nationals with the TOOLS to reach their NATIONS for CHRIST, REVIVAL WOULD FOLLOW!!!"

	The VALUE of TRACTS: small samples of the WORD of GOD in written form that can be left with unconverted natives, or with NEW CONVERTs to Share with their Neighbors and other UNconverted towns people. And when for the cost of ONE USite MISSIONARY (who may well have VERY LIMITED SUCCESS!!!) you can PRINT 15 to 60 MILLION GOSPEL MESSAGES, that may Only produce fruit at 1 per Hundred to 1 per 10 Thousand!!! IF PRINTED in the US, TRACTs, after shipping costs, can easily run 10 to 25 cents each! But by having them printed on site in these third world countries, they can be done for as low as 9 per penny!!!!!
