Precept News Letter

May, 2010

What greater reward is there than changed lives? Here is feedback from phone calls, emails, and conversations.

1. “Please send us another 10 of the 40Minute studies “Living Like You Belong to God”. We had more people than expected turn up to our Bible study.” (South Island pastor)

2. “Can you please come and start groups at Mt Eden prison?” (Prison chaplain)

3. Changed by His Word:
“The Old Testament fits so comfortably into what I know about worshipping Jesus …Just as the old nation of Israel had to approach the worship of God with total dedication and trust, we today must also be totally reverent to the worship of Christ today.” (Student at prison)

Living a Life of True Worship “is of immense value.” (Facilitator of church based Bible study group)

4. Evidence of a changed life by the living Word of God
A prisoner was released 3 weeks ago, was baptised 4 days later and a week later took a prisoner’s children out for breakfast, then on to a rugby game and then for lunch at another friend's place. He was radiantly happy as the father of the children, (still in prison), had been instrumental in helping him to come to Christ.

5. The wheel keeps turning: Changed lives initiate change in other lives by the written Word of God
“Thank you for this awesome gift you have provided us with. It’s an encouragement to us as Christians to have someone sponsor us. God bless.” A prisoner responding to the donor of the new Bible study books.

What part(s) do you play in this process? Are you making a difference? Does your life count? – Get involved! We can show you how!

Thank the Lord for:

- His wonderful and generous provision: support in prayer, encouragement, petrol vouchers, books, finances etc
- The stock take. Never has it been done with so little pain!

Pray for:

- much interest in the book tables at NZACS (conference of headmasters of Christian Schools) conference, 13-15 May, and at KingsWay Christian School in Orewa, 28 May
- soul-searching and change for good as Precept students and facilitators discover Truth in the Word
- the move of the office to Manukau City, 1 June 2010
