August 1, 2014 Dear Friend of Light for the Lost, If you WATCH any missions video this year, TELL anyone about a missions video, SHARE a missions video with a friend or SHOW one in a church, it needs to be Celebrate the Light 2014. Celebrate the Light 2014 is now available for you to download for free from our website (www.lftl.ag.org). You can request that the download link be e-mailed to you by calling 417.862.1447 (ext. 4172) or 800.988.0292. This video presentation is perfect for showing in a church missions service. I promise that you will not forget what you see. Celebrate the Light 2014 tells three incredible stories of people who have met the Light, Jesus Christ, through the ministries that Light for the Light helps support. It is my hope that this video will be shown in every church in the Assemblies of God. Will you help make that happen? The first story takes place in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide and in the years after. The focus of the story is Assemblies of God Pastor Emmanuel Ngabonziza and how Light for the Lost is partnering with Hope to empower him and many others to both increase and (over, page 2)
sustain an incredible soul harvest in that nation. Pastor Emmanuel survived the primary school (serving 300 kids) in a Muslim neighborhood of Kigali, the capital. a story about horrid tragedy and loss that moves into a tremendous, redemptive work of the Holy Spirit. This same move of God is sweeping through Africa, and Light for the Lost needs your continued support so we can help where needed. The second story comes from India and highlights the cruelty of modern-day sexual slavery. By the grace of God, souls are being won and human lives healed and restored, even in these dark places. In this segment of Celebrate the Light 2014, you will see how Light for the Lost connects with Project Rescue to make it possible to share the LIGHT with thousands of victims of sexual slavery in Asia and Europe. The third and final story hits close to my heart. At the age of 19, I was not living for God. I was deeply involved in the abuses of drugs and alcohol. In fact, I was an addict until Jesus stepped into my dark world. So this final segment has special significance to me. It Emanuel Balaciu, starts as a violent drug addict living on the streets of Bucharest, Romania, and ends up becoming the very first Teen Challenge graduate in that country. the partnership between Light for the . . . and is making a difference in the lives of thousands worldwide. Please do whatever it takes to acquire a copy of Celebrate the Light 2014. If you prefer to simply watch it, you can stream the video on our site. the one to watch this year (and then watch again and again). Also talk about it and share it with others. I would love to see hundreds of Light for the Lost friends posting about Celebrate the Light 2014 on Facebook and Twitter. But most importantly, we have created this video in order to invite churches and friends like you to CELEBRATE Jesus with us this year. And the best way to CELEBRATE Jesus is to tell others about HIM! He is (next page, 3)
the LIGHT of the world after all, and this dark world needs to know about HIM! Over the 60-year history of Light for the Lost, we have invested more than $300 million in worldwide evangelism ministry, and it has certainly been worth it. The number of people who have heard about Jesus Christ is impossible to calculate, as is the actual number of people who have confessed Him as their Savior, because of this ministry. suffering, dying, and they need to know about the LIGHT!
