Dear Christians Friends,
Thank you every one who sent congratulations for our 60th wedding anniversary. Betty Sue and I give our Heavenly Father all the glory for giving us each other with His blessings through the years. We are experiencing one of those side-line events as I recuperate from back surgery. It was a definite success, releasing pressure from my hip and legs. Thank you each one who prayed for us.
We plan to be active in ten days. In the mean time our teams continue the border flea markets ministries. Please pray for our workers, for the seed being Sown and for a revival of witnessing.
Serving Him
Bob and Betty Sue. Smith

A FLEA-MARKET EXPERIENCE
As Maria took a handful of Scriptures and Gospel tracts, she told me her plan to give them to family members. When I stood up to talk to her, she saw I had back pain and said "I want to pray for your back". As she came inside, she began to tell me about all her healings and how she talks to satan --'running him out of her body.' --I said ,'Maria the Bible tells us to ' PRAY one for another that ye may be healed' ,but we are supp0sed to pray to our HEAVENLY FATHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS---We are not to pray to satan!---While her mouth was still open, I asked, "Maria, do you know all of your sins are forgiven?" She quickly answered, "Yes, I do, because I received Jesus who died for me". I said, �Wonderful, -THAT is the testimony you should be giving to these poor sinners passing by us here--they do not know ALL THEIR SIN DEBT IS PAID--THAT IS THE GOSPEL MESSAGE WE ARE TOLD TO PREACH!!
I looked up and Maria's twenty- one year old daughter was standing behind her, listening. Maria said, "this is Marti, my daughter and she was raised in a Baptist Church. I shook Marti's hand and asked, "Marti, do you know all your sins are forgiven?" She burst out crying and answered, "no, I don't, but I wish I did".
I ASKED HER THREE QUESTIONS --
Marti, do you believe Jesus paid for all of your sins when He died on the cross for you? She said,� yes, I do". I read Romans 6:23 from the Bible.
Marti, do you want to turn to Jesus as your Lord and Savior and receive Him? She said, "I do". -- I read, Romans 10:10-13.
Marti, do you want to call on Jesus and trust Him for forgiveness and eternal life? She answered, "Yes, I do". - -There in the Flea Market with multitudes passing by, Marti called on Jesus -- then she and her Mother hugged each other like they were long-lost friends.
After Marti thanked me and shook my hand about eight times, she told her Mother, "Let�s go tell Papa!"- - I asked them, "What are you going to tell him?"
Maria said, "All my sins are forgiven". Marti said, "Jesus saved me today".

I turned to our workers and said, 'Let's go tell more people, "ALL YOUR DEBT IS PAID !
LOST PEOPLE FIRST NEED TO HEAR ABOUT THE BLESSING OF CERTAIN SALVATION (ALL SINS FORGIVEN) --AND THEN ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF SALVATION!!
Thanking our Lord for your fellowship in eternal work--Bob and Betty Sue

PLEASE PRAY FOR A SPECIAL PTOGECT I AM DEVELOPING
Scriptures Sowers Fellowship
It will be a bulletin of information, testimonies and challanges toward the purpose of coordinating the multitude of printers, carriers,
Wharehousers, distributors, etc. who are dedicated to the distrubution of God's Word.
It will be nothing to join! -- But, every Christian can be involved on a local and world wide level.
The Devine command, the urgency and the opportunities are compelling reasons to seek ways to make the most of all efforts to place God's word in every hand that is open NOW !
It is not only SAD but also tragic that there are full wharehouses in some places and in other places empty hands of those wanting to distribute-No one should have to ask twice for scriptures when he wants to sow!
The twin tragedy is the fact that we have open doors with liberty. to sow the Scripture ( the end of this liberty is in sight!) Yet, most 'evangelical' christians and churches do not take Jesus' last command neither seriously nor personally!
Compounding the tragedy is the almost total indifference of Chistians in America to see and respond to the literal mission-field GOD has placed in our door-way!! They are Illegial and our government should give them Justice by sending them back!!
BUT CHRISTIANS SHOULD SHOW THEM GRACE (as God has to us) BY GIVING THEM THE MESSAGE OF GRACE--"All your sin debt is paid--Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved! "
We will keep you informed.
