We just received this exciting letter: “Dear Paul Deem & friends, We just want to take this time to say thank you for shipping our chain saw to us. Now we used this chain saw to cut the timbers to build pastor’s house.
Or to help other pastors to cut their timbers to build their church building. Thank you once again for your kind support. God bless you all.” Michael Joseph – National Pastor in Papua New Guinea
Little is much when God is in it! – We serve a miracle working God and He is so good to us. We have been praying for several months for a semi.
Through some unique circumstances, a company sold a truck to our ministry for only $1! It’s a 2007 Sterling that runs great and is in good condition. It made the trip from CA to OH without any problems along the way.
When we visited La Playa in MX, we were happy to meet Carlos. We came on a Monday to pass out Christmas Joy Gift Bags to the kids in the church. Carlos accepted Christ the day before and was eager to learn more about living the Christian life.
He knew a little bit of English and he helped translate for our group. At the end of the special Joy Bag service, we presented him a Bible. A big smile was on his face as we gave him this gift provided by the members of the Bible Club. Thank you for giving and making this moment possible!
Several of our Team Members recently returned from a mission trip to Mexico. We gave Bibles, Christmas Joy Gift Bags, tracts, and other needed materials to the missionaries we met at the border. Along with Missionary Ted Dehart, we visited three churches and delivered Joy Bags to the children.
These special Joy Bag services led to 21 children accepting Christ as their Saviour. Just think, there were 21 saved in only 3 churches in 1 country. The Joy Bags went to dozens of churches in multiple countries around the world. Only in Heaven will we know the full result of the annual Christmas Joy Gift Bags! Special thanks to everyone who assembled a Joy Bag. You made a difference in Mexico and beyond!
DirectLine Ministry recently received a letter from Missionaries Michael and Lynette Joseph in Papua New Guinea. They shared a tremendous blessing regarding the Christmas Joy Gifts Bags we shipped to them a few months ago.
“Dear DirectLine Ministry, Hello to every one of you. It is by God’s grace that we can live for Him. Thank you so much for helping us in the ministry of God in Papua New Guinea. Eight high school students gave their lives to Jesus Christ after we gave away the Joy Bags. Thank you and may God bless you.”
We are rejoicing with these faithful missionaries because eight souls were spared from Hell. That alone would make the entire Joy Bag project worthwhile, but this is just one report out of many pastors who lead people to Christ during their special Joy Bag services. We appreciate everyone who gives donations for transportation and for those who assemble Joy Bags. The PPNG pallets cost around $2,500 to ship.
It was worth every penny to send the Gospel around the world so these students could be saved!
We have two opportunities for you to earn money for our ministry. The best part is that it costs you nothing! AmazonSmile is a great program that donates a percentage of your eligible purchases from Amazon. Many of you are already buying things on Amazon, so why not take advantage of this opportunity?
Another way to earn donations is by using GoodSearch. It is a search engine like Google or Bing, but every search you make results in one penny for our ministry. Both of these programs are so easy to use. Please sign up and remember to use Amazon Smile and GoodSearch!
