International Tract Distribution Day 4.1

International Tract Distribution Day (4)  

18 April

For the past three years this date has been designated I.T.D.Day, and many around the world have faithfully joined in the simple spiritual exercise of distributing at least one tract/Gospel portion/magazine etc. I remain humbled by every response and give thanks to our great and good God and Father, who has moved so many believing hearts by His blessed Spirit to thus serve His lovely Son in this way.

I realise that to continue this practice again this year D.V. may prove to be very difficult in the present global situation, that the vast majority will feel unable to "seize every good and favourable opportunity" to engage in this ministry. Eph. 5:16; Col.4:5.

I have no intention of trying to persuade my fellow saints to act contrary to their own personal consciences, or their own understanding of the Word of God in this situation. But I would still ask as many as feel free to join with me again this year, with the desperate plight of men everywhere never more apparent, in support of this little enterprise for the Lord Jesus and for His glory, in the salvation of many precious souls, and perhaps the restoration of many saints too, please.

The U.K. is at present is "locked down," but we are permitted one session of exercise outside of our houses; I propose, if the Lord will, to combine the posting of copies of Via Magazine with my "walking exercise" on that day. Perhaps you may think of some other innovative ways to do something similar.

I leave this with you all, fully trusting that you will each consider things in the light of eternity, "provoking unto to love and good works" .... "and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near." Hebrews 10:25. 

Finally, to the many saints who have, and have continued to pray for my son Adam, I thank you with all my heart. He does remain paraplegic as a result of a spinal stroke, and on 19th April D.V. he will have been five years in this paralysed condition. The Lord has been so good to him, and to us, especially in giving Adam back movement down his whole right side, beyond all the ability of even the greatest of men! But on each "anniversary" of the day he was struck down, Adam is weighed down as he cannot help but relive it. We covet and would so value your prayers at that time especially, please. In anticipation, we would thank you in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, yours and ours.
