Sometimes people ask me why I do what I do. I have a very simple answer to that question, which is that I really do believe the things that we read in the Bible are true.
For example, I really believe what the Bible says about our lives being "a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (James 4:14). I really believe there is an eternity, there is an afterlife, there is a heaven, and there is a hell. I really believe that only those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ will go to heaven. And I also believe that I need to share this message with as many people as possible.
I received the following letter from someone who came to Christ at one of our Harvest Crusades some years ago:
My younger brother went to sleep one night and never woke up. He was 23 years old, and he had just graduated from college. He moved to Philadelphia after he graduated. . . . I found out the Harvest Crusade was coming to Philadelphia, so I took my younger brother with me to hear the gospel. He was not yet a believer. He went forward at the invitation and gave his life to Christ, and God called him home . . . one month after his commitment to Christ. My brother lives today because of your ministry. . . . . he is in the arms of Jesus, and that's where I will meet him again.
That is why I do what I do. That is why I want to get the gospel out. And that is why we were placed on this earth: to come into a relationship with God, to know Him, and to glorify Him with our lives.
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have
not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
— Romans 10:14
BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO ONE ANOTHER!
