Just OneBy W. Wilson Lippy

From the PreSident

hy does CFO work so hard at reaching the lost? The Lord has called CFO to reach lost souls. We focus on that “One Soul.”

How important is this to you? Jesus said that your soul is worth more than the whole world: In Mark 8:36 Jesus said “For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul.”

Your soul is worth more than the entire world. I realize that if I own a lot of land, have a large bank account, a large yacht, it is all worthless compared to the value of my eternal soul.

The Bible makes it clear that there is a literal heaven and hell.

You have the free will to choose where you will spend eternity. God wills that all men be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4: “Who will have all men to be saved…” God wants us to receive His grace, love, and forgiveness. God also desires our fellowship and love.

Though we are considered to be a very small ministry

God is doing big things. Our greatest reward in all this is the hearts that are

respond-ing to the Love of Jesus. CFO sees each person as an eternal treasure of great value; a potential vessel of love that desires to be filled with His eternal love. Thousands have responded to His love receiving Jesus through CFO.

Can you imagine the celebration it will be when we meet them in heaven knowing that we had a

part in them being there?It will be very rewarding when we meet the believers

from all over the world (69 countries), and many places in the United States. Everyone who helps us from stringing beads, booth sharers, pray warriors and financial donors all have a part in the souls that are saved through this ministry.

We recently sent 100,000 pieces of CFO materials to Siberia. Tens of thousands will be saved because of this. Though there were many challenges getting the supplies to Siberia it was worth all the effort. We will discover the joyous results when we all get to heaven.

There is rejoicing in heaven when just one soul comes to Jesus

–Luke 15. So why does CFO work so hard at reaching the lost?

Because we are called … because of the value of a soul … because of the appointment we all must keep … because of the wonderful blessing and the joy that is a result of leading people to our Savior and Lord!

Thank you for everything you do. We could not reach out without your tremendous support. Everything you do and give is for the purpose of reaching that “One Soul.”

The Lord has sent CFO out into the traffic lanes of life to reach lost souls, just as Jesus sent his disciples out.

– Luke 10 and Mark 16:15



2 0 years ago the Holy Spirit was drawing Don Frazier to himself. He came to the CFO Luncheon and marked a decision card indicating

an interest in the things of the Lord. When this happened Wilson Lippy and Dave

Sparks visited him for the purpose of praying and discussing his decision. That evening in his home he said that he was ok.

The same night, his wife, Robin, shared how she had received Jesus as her Savior and was 100% sure of her salvation. He thought “maybe I’m not ok”.

He was “stunned” that Robin was 100% sure. This made Don feel very uneasy, and before departing the Frazier home we had prayer and left him a CFO tract.

At 3 a.m., Don woke up. For sometime he remembered what happened the night before, so he got out of the bed and found the tract and started studying the scripture verses. At 3 a.m, April 6, 1993, Don truly received Jesus into his heart. Don said John 5:24 describes his feeling that night:

John 5:24: Verily, verily, I say unto you , He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Our highest calling after we receive Christ is to reach out for lost souls.

Don took this very seriously. He immediately started sharing Jesus with others, but without much success. Don clearly knew the Holy Spirit was drawing him to be a better witness. He answered the call: “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19)

The Lord led him to become actively involved with the CFO Booth ministry, and he joined the Soul Winners Club at his church. He said it took three years before he became comfortable sharing Christ with others.

After getting involved in soul winning, and seeing lives transformed, the Lord put a strong calling on

W hile in Russia, we spent a few days at a camp for unchurched kids between 8 and 18 years old. It was sponsored by a local

evangelical church.Patrick, using his Russian translator, shared the

gospel bead bracelet with his assigned group of teenagers. All indicated they had accepted God’s free gift. After giving each camper a gospel bracelet, he asked them to share their bracelet message with the camper sitting next to them. And they excitedly shared the story of Jesus.

Then they were asked to get up, one at a time, and share the story with the group. Again, they were happy to do so.

Next, the teens were challenged to decide with whom they would share the bracelet and its message with when they returned home – a friend, family member or neighbor. And he told each camper to pick a friend from the group who would call them a week after they returned home to ask if they had shared it with the person they had chosen, and if they had not shared it, when they would. The youths eagerly accepted the challenge!

Pointing to a nearby forest tree, Patrick gave them this analogy: “We are responsible to share the gospel, and it’s like planting seeds for a forest. Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Harvest. But our responsibility is to share the gospel and plant those seeds.

“Each seed has the potential of growing into be a mighty oak tree. Look at all the mighty oak trees in

this forest! It’s like looking at all the people in Heaven that will be with you because you planted the seed of the gospel with them.”

They really got it!A few hours later, Natasha, one of the teens,

returned to show us her fingernails and toenails, all painted with the colors of the beads! And, other girls

did the same.Natasha also drew a

picture that she gave to Patrick of a forest of trees. This talented lady really “got it”!! All praise to God!

Thank you so much, CFO, for the bracelets and Russian tracts you gave us for mission trip with E3 Partners Ministry. Our 25-member team worked in two areas and at least five mission points, all close to the Ukraine border.

All team members were thrilled to use the bracelets to share the good news, reinforce the gospel message and encourage

those who accepted Christ to share it with others. Everyone was so grateful!

We won’t know this side of heaven the impact those bracelets will have. But God knows those that will be reached because of your generosity. Again, thank you! To God be the glory!!

It was a powerful, holy moment for all there, as they realized the

impact of sharing the Good News with those around us.

20 yearS ago

his heart to become a pastor. He started taking Bible courses. After submitting to the Lords calling in his life He had the opportunity to serve at Granite Baptist Church to oversee the bus and outreach ministries.

The Lord used Don and four others in the founding of Agora Evangelism Ministries. Their purpose was to train local churches to share Jesus by using the colors in the US, and reach out with the gospel at different events like they learned from CFO. It now has come full circle.

The Lord has opened up the door for Don to reach out in a tremendous way in East Africa and the Philippines using the colors to train churches, and to reach lost souls. Through their efforts they have seen thousands of decisions in Africa alone.

From the guidance of that first CFO tract as a model, they are translating the message of the beads tract into other languages. Agora has just completed the Rwanda tract for Africa.

To CFO this is very exciting, as we see folks like Don come to know Christ, then faithfully follow Jesus to do what God has called them to do. This is God’s perfect plan for us. God can do the same in your life!

Our highest calling after we receive Christ is to reach out for lost souls.

A New Creation That Fishes for Men

At 3 a.m, April 6, 1993, Don truly received Jesus into his heart.



10 Years AgoChauncey Hearn came into CFO’s booth to share his

appreciation for what happened in his life 10 years ago. He shared this with us:

“Walking through the Eastern Sports Show in Harrisburg, I stopped hoping to get a free walking stick that I saw so many others with. What happened next changed my life.

“CFO workers invited me in and shared the message offering me a relationship with Jesus that I never knew about before that day. They offered a prayer to invite Jesus into my heart, and I did!

“Since then God has changed my life for the better in ways beyond anyone could count. Once indwelt by the Holy Spirit, God gave me clear direction in life. My relationship with my wife has been enriched.

“God has given me a passion to reach out to others, and I’m currently serving and supporting several ministries. It’s so exciting to be part of God’s plan that impacts so many lives!”

“I thank God for what the workers of CFO did for me, and I ask that we all continue to pray for this ministry that they may keep winning the fight!”

Our highest calling once we get saved is to have a heart to reach out to others. (Acts 1:8)

Casey (left) came back to the CFO booth at Harford County Fair to shared how she received Jesus five years ago in the booth. Knowing Christ meant so much to her that she wanted her best friend Erica to also receive Christ this year.

Praise the Lord! Erica did! Two changed lives!

5 Years Ago

Three years ago at the Deer and Turkey Expo in Alabama, Ray Robinson, a parking attendant, received

3 Years Ago

Jesus through the colors. That very first night, he read the entir “Beginning Again” follow-up book.

Then Ray helped his wife, Patsy, receive Jesus. They started attending church and got baptized. Two more changed lives!

Ray and Patsy are thankful and excited about their new relationship with Jesus, and for CFO being there to lead him to Jesus. Two changed lives!

3 Years Ago, TooCelica (right) came into the CFO booth at West Virginia

State Fair to share with us that she received Christ as her Savior three years ago at the fair. After receiving Christ, she

went home, began attending church and was soon baptized.

After Celica committed her life to Christ, Celica’s daughter came to Christ and their strained relationship was restored. While she shared what

God has been doing in her family, her oldest son admitted that he was not saved, but wanted to be. After listening to the gospel presentation using the colored beads, he, too, bowed his head and received his Savior. Changed lives times three!

A Heart SoftenedHoping his friend would get saved, Jeff (right) brought

his friend Jordan into our Ag Progress booth to hear the Gospel. At first, Jordan was resistant to what he was hearing.

But after hearing from scripture how much Jesus loved him and sacrificed His life for him, the Holy Spirit melted Jordan’s heart open to receive Jesus as his Savior. One more changed life!

Changed LiveS!What Goes Around Comes Back Around

Mike Barko, one of CFO’s most active soul harvesters for Christ in the U.S, was working in the CFO farm show booth when Kelly and Kyle walked in. Without hesitation,

they made known their uncertainty about going to heaven.

Compassionately, Mike shared the salvation message using the rawhide color bead bracelet, sharing that they can be 100% sure of their eternal destination. Then Kelly and Kyle opened their heart to Jesus and prayed to ask Him into their hearts.

The two were so excited about their solid confidence in Christ that they immediately left, grabbed three more of their teen friends and brought them back to Mike. Once more, he shared the good news, and three more eternal souls accepted Jesus. And they, too, walked away fully confident in Jesus Christ who saved them. Five more changed lives!

Christian Mom, Muslim Dad

Joseph, age 11, came into our booth at Maryland State Fair wanting to receive Jesus. He explained that his mom is a Christian, but his Muslim dad left and divorced her.

Joseph wanted to be a Christian like his Mom. We had prayer that his dad would come to know Jesus one day. Another changed life!

A New SongBo came into our booth in Alabama’s Deer Expo and

received Jesus. Three days later, he came back still excited by his life-changing decision and played his guitar, singing a new song he wrote thanking God for always being with him. Wonderfully changed life!

Burdened for KateTana and

Cassandra came into the CFO booth at Alabama’s World Deer Expo and received Jesus. That night they couldn’t stop talking about their decision for Jesus and became burdened for their best friend, Kate. The next day, they brought Kate to the booth where she also received Jesus. Three more changed lives!

Divine AppointmentAfter listening to the

message of the beads outside our booth at the York Fair, these teens realized they didn’t have a relationship with God. They asked if they could come inside. There, they received Christ as their Savior. Two more changed!

Changed LiveS!



Finally SavedCasey (right) brought her brother, Joey, and girlfriend

Taylor into the booth at California’s World Ag Expo where they both received Christ and promised to start attending church. Two more saved souls!

Saved at 99! Brandi Bacon brought her 99-year-old grandfather,

Flander Dunham, into the booth at Maryland State Fair. There, he received Jesus as his Savior and Lord.

Praise the Lord! One’s never too old for a changed life!

Still All SmilesNine-year-old Lindsey

came into last year’s World Ag Expo booth in California and received Jesus as her Savior. This year, she returned – still excited. Her mother thanked us and shared Lindsey’s desire to attend a Christian school. Still enthusiastically changed!

Tremendous JoyLaken brought her husband, Brad, into the booth at

Penn State’s Ag Progress Days to get saved. And, he did.

Before that day, Brad would never go to church with her. But he promised to start attending on the following Sunday. Another changed life!

What a Privilege!At the World

Ag Expo in California, CFO has the privilege of leading hundreds of Spanish people to receive Jesus each year. Four – and many more – changed lives!

Friends Become Brothers

12-year-old Omar (right) came to our booth with his two friends wanting to get wristbands. After hearing the Gospel presented with the colors, all three of the boys received Jesus as their Savior – brothers in Christ.

After receiving their follow-up books, they got excited about starting a Bible study with all their friends. They asked if they could have extra books and wristbands to witness to their friends and invite them to their Bible study. Three energetically changed lives!

Changed LiveS! 7,035,705,833 SouLS; 1 Savior!

n March 12, 2012, the U.S. Census Bureau’s population clock topped 7 billion people in the world. Earlier this year at a mission’s

conference, a missionary friend of mine made the statement that every Christian must never forget:

“Even though there are over 7 billion people in the world, there’s still ONLY ONE SAVIOR!”

Occasionally when sharing the gospel at our Christian Farmers Outreach booth, someone will ask if I truly believe that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Of course, I share with them that I do believe that Jesus is the only way – with all heart and absolutely no doubt!

I also share that if I didn’t believe that Jesus is the only way, I wouldn’t care what others believed. And I wouldn’t waste my time, energy, and resources to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. The fact is: I do believe. Therefore I care for others, and love to share this truth with anyone who is willing listen.

The night before Jesus died on the cross, his own

“Even though there are over 7 Billion people

in the world, there’s still only one Savior!”

disciples were upset because Jesus had shared with them that he was going away for a while. Jesus made it very clear to them in John 14: 5-6:

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus had to remind his own disciples that he is the only way to God the Father for all – including them. So it was necessary that he die on the cross, be buried, and be resurrected to fulfill God’s eternal plan of salvation.

Do you really believe that there are 7 billion in the world today, but only ONE SAVIOR? I hope you do, and that you’re actively sharing Jesus.

If you’re looking for more opportunities to share Jesus and would like to help Christian Farmers Outreach at one of our events, contact me at [email protected] or call 443.508.4338.

1 Savior!By Quintin Merson



FO’s 2012 picnic at Foggy Bottom Farm fell on summer’s hottest day. By 1 p.m., the temperature gauge soared to 103 degrees, and praying began.

By 3:30 p.m., the sweltering heat had plummeted to a balmy 99 degrees. More praying. By 4:30 p.m., people began arriving and the temperature had chilled to a comfortable 95 degrees – cooler in the shade, of course.

Close to 300 hardy souls braved the heat to hear personal testimonies of God’s awesome work via Christian Farmers Outreach and ministries it inspires. They enjoyed the company of kindred hearts, tapped toes to the sweet bluegrass music of the Carroll County Ramblers. They rode a tractor-pulled hayrack through the lush farm fields, peddled paddle boats and dined on fresh sweet corn, fried chicken, grilled goodies, tasty melons and ice cream.

Sweet & HOT!CFo Summer PiCniC

It was, indeed, an evening of celebration . . . of giving God the glory.

reat things have been born on farms. Christian Farmers Outreach’s ministry is one. Close to 500 people gathered at

Westminster, Md., in early March 2012 to celebrate that fact at CFO’s 25th annual spring Outreach Luncheon.

It was a joyful reunion of four farmers who had much to do with it, beginning more than 25 years ago. They were: special guest speaker Thomas Herlong from South Carolina, David Sparks, Wilson Lippy and George Rill (pictured left to right).

In those first days of CFO, Rill, Sparks and Lippy had hearts for sharing Christ. As they organized, the three went to Pennsylvania Farm Show to do just that. Some 36 people came to Jesus that first time. And they were asked to take the message to other shows and fairs.

From there, the ministry grew to where more than 1,000 volunteers make it possible to sharing of the Gospel message in more than 20 states and 67 countries. God continues to grow CFO’s ministry to inspire churches and other ministries to bring many thousands to the simple saving grace in Jesus via the colored bead message.

25 Years of Reaching the LostBy John Vogel

SPring outreaCh LunCheon

Herlong, founding president of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International, spoke of the

shining light that CFO brings into the world.

“Christian Farmers was born of a need for farmers to share their faiths and encourage each other,” reflected Herlong. “There was and still is a great

need for it.

“CFO shares this vision of hope so effectively, noted Herlong. “God has blessed

Christian Farmers with countless opportunities to share His word.”

Wilson Lippy followed Herlong, explaining why thousands come to Christ as a result of CFO’s work: “The Lord putting a calling on us to reach all we can. That’s all this

ministry is about! And as God promised, He has shown us great and mighty things!”

The luncheon was also the first showing of the 25th Anniversary Video. The story and testimonies were masterfully crafted by Baltimore’s John Dockman. Watch it on the website at: www.christianfarmers.com.

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee

great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” –Jeremiah 33:3

Retooled For Christ! by Jerry Kalbach

ChurCh aFire!

ll Saints Episcopal Church of Reisterstown, Md., has discovered a sharp new tool to replace some of its older, duller processes.

Thanks to Christian Farmers Outreach, we’ve learned how to effectively reach beyond our walls -- to communicate the Gospel message with CFO’s five colored beads.

Dan Bolgiano was one of the first in our congregation to experience the power of the beads. “When we share Jesus Christ with others, it not only changes them; it changes those who do the sharing,” confirms Dan.

This simple, effective and easily understood presentation helps us witness any place we may be. About 50 members of our small congregation are trained to share the five-color Gospel presentation whenever they can witness – within our walls or outside.

Before he learned the CFO way, Senior Warden

Erik Ewertz never felt he could express his faith effectively. Now he feels much differently. “I’m convinced everyone who works a CFO event grows in their own spiritual walk with Jesus,” affirms Erik.

“What’s most gratifying is our youth leaders have all participated. And now many of our children are also witnessing in CFO events.

Everyday opportunities to shareAll Saints’ youth minister, Heidi Conley wants

the kids to notice everyday opportunities to share the Gospel. “CFO’s incredible manner of outreach is so intentional in it’s method it has shown our group how to be intentional every day at all times.”

Addie, age 13, says “Working in a booth is an amazing experience that can really change your perspective on how sharing the Good News of Jesus can truly affect another person’s life.”

Erika, age 15, adds “Not only is CFO a fantastic opportunity to show Jesus’ love and give someone a chance to come to know Him, it’s also a great way to learn more about your own personal faith walk.”

All Saint’s youth have helped a several CFO picnics and help string beads. They are excited to be a part of Christian Farmers’ ministry.

Father David Stenner, pastor, says “Many people have come to know the Lord, Jesus Christ through the sharing of the Gospel beads.

“Christian Farmers Outreach is a wonderful resource to help us to live into our vision,” adds All Saint’s pastor. “I’m grateful for their faithfulness and dedication to spreading the message of the Gospel of Christ.”

“Even more, the ministry has helped equip our people to share their faith

with confidence and clarity.” – Father David Stenner

ith a heavy heart, Willie Mae Denning stopped and stood in front of CFO’s display table on Sunday night at the Maryland State

Fair. When asked “May I share God’s plan for you and how you can be 100% sure about your eternal home in heaven with Jesus?” she replied “Yes.”

Right away, Willie Mae confessed she wasn’t sure she was going to heaven. But after I shared with her the wonderful message of God’s plan of salvation, she affirmed she ready receive Jesus as her Savior and Lord. And tears flooded her face as she prayed for Jesus to coming into her heart.

Then in her flour-covered Pizza Parlor apron, this hard-working lady shared: “I am from Virginia and travel to this fair with the company I work for. I’ve been searching for Jesus for a long time.

“When I got here, I felt something in my spirit say this is where you’ll find Jesus. I walked every aisle in this building searching until I saw this booth.”

After she left, I regretted not taking a picture to keep with her testimony. Before leaving I went looking for her, but couldn’t find her. So I started towards my truck. Turning for one last look, there was Willie Mae turning dough in the Pizza Parlor! God showed His faithfulness once again!

“When I got here, I felt something in my spirit say this is where

you’ll find Jesus. I walked every isle in this building searching

until I saw this booth.”

Several days later, the new Willie Mae returned to the booth. I gave her a New Believer’s Bible, pointing out verses that would assist in her new walk with Jesus.

The next day, she returned, sadly reporting that her new Bible was missing. I told her: “It’s all right. I hope whoever took your Bible will read it.” And I gave her another one that she embraced with tears of joy.

Two days later, Willie Mae returned again seeking direction for her life. I introduced her to the Maryland Bible College students serving in the booth.

This time, Willie Mae was shining with a new countenance she didn’t have before. She was a changed person, just like we are told in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things pass away; behold, all things become new.”

Willie Mae had new hope!

She bravely explained to the students how she now believes God has a bigger plan and calling for her. And she asked for prayer

that God would guide her path to all that God has for her and her future.

Gathering around her in a close knitted prayer circle, the college students releasing the power and love of the Holy Spirit on Willie Mae. That moment was so intense! There wasn’t a dry eye in the booth.

Shedding Tears of Joy by Wilson Lippy

hoPe Found

hop Phara, a village on the border of

Thailand and Burma, is one of the most impoverished places on earth. In January, Kerelia Walsh and Debbie Colby returned there on a mission trip, and latter shared a powerful message of exciting results of using the bead ministry to win lost souls for Christ.

Many Burmese refugees live there, and their circumstances are hard – unimaginable to most Americans. Most live in the jungle in houses on stilts with walls of mismatched boards and some live under tarps. Wage earners make less than $1 a day working 10 to 14 hours.

One night, Kerelia and Debbie invited the villagers to a special meeting to hear about the “abundant life.” Before the meeting, they looked out over the horizon to see a long line of Burmese women refugees walking towards them with backs perfectly straight, wearing their best faded shirts with cloth sarongs. Many were cradling their babies in front of them in slings made from torn, faded pieces of cloth.

Hunger for a loving God quenchedThe faces of these Burmese people were so darkened

and wrinkled by the sun that they looked too old for the babies to be their own. That night, over 100 adults and 200 children were packed inside the building.

Pastor Drew Wileczek preached the Gospel using the CFO’s bracelet along with a Thai and Burmese translator. It was the first time for many to hear about Jesus. And the message drew a tremendous response. Many received Jesus as savior and Lord that evening.

Debbie and Kerelia also visited the only

school in that village and preached the Gospel to close to 1,000 Thai students from the 1st to 12th grade using the CFO’s bracelets. Afterwards, many raised their hands when they were asked if they would like to receive Christ as their Savior. In total, close to 1,300 lost souls on this missions trip asked Jesus in their hearts.

Most of the Thai and Burmese population are denied adequate education, leaving many illiterate. That creates a barrier for evangelists to naturally spread the Gospel by Bibles and tracts. But the Good News is that God prepared a solution through the CFO’s colored bracelets along with willing workers with hearts to share that Gospel. The message is clear. Even the illiterate can hear, understand and accept Jesus in their heart for their eternal salvation in Him.

Now They Have Eternal Hope!thaiLand

Close to 1,300 lost souls on this missions trip asked Jesus in their hearts.

W P



With shouts of joy and rushing feet, the eager little hearts ran to Jesus as each one was embraced by the Master’s love. The Holy Spirit breathed love through these missionaries to those children.

Then, Jose, another team member, presented the message of salvation using CFO’s color bead bracelets to receiving hearts. Once the explanation was complete,

the children were asked if anyone wanted to receive Jesus in their heart.

48 children raised their hands and received Jesus as Lord and Savior that day!

North continues to seek more witnessing supplies from the CFO ministry to continue winning

lost souls for Christ. And CFO looks forward to hearing from her about all Jesus is doing in lives around the world.

ome lion-hearted Christians will overcome anything to share Jesus – even earthquakes and floods. Judy North, a precious devoted lady of

God, prevailed through a 7.4 earthquake and a serious thunderstorm, all for the sake of taking the gospel to lost souls in Chiapas, Mexico.

North and her missionary team ministered to children the love of Jesus Christ through music, singing, study, prayer, and a clever re-enactment of a Bible story about Jesus for their vacation bible school. The little ones couldn’t take their eyes of team member Eduardo as he portrayed Jesus. Another member acted as “the bad” disciple hindering the children from getting near Jesus until suddenly Eduardo proclaimed, “Bring the little children to me!”

7.4 Earthquake; 48 Rescued SoulsmexiCo

hristian Farmers Outreach has been helping Siberian nationals reach out for Jesus for four years with tremendous results. Thousands in

this communist-dominated country are receiving Jesus as their personal Savior.

Early this year, CFO’s board prayerfully set a goal of reaching an additional 50,000 souls with the gospel message of Jesus Christ in 2012. Within weeks, an email arrived from Siberia requesting 50,000 wristbands and 50,000 Russian tracts.

Some 16 of Siberia’s national churches asked CFO to help them take the salvation message all over Siberia. The Lord answered our prayer. (See Jeremiah 33:3.)

In his request, Pastor Pavel Galylans from Tyumen, Siberia, said: “Let your people know we are part of your ministry. We will do a seminar to train folks in every church.

“I am excited to think that so many people in our cities, villages, college, and institutions will be reached through this simple but powerful tool. So many souls that get the wristbands could be saved by Jesus. May the Holy Spirit use our availability to accomplish His eternal purpose.”

Thanks to CFO supporters, 927 pounds of materials were shipped to Siberia – encountering a tremendous spiritual battle. Our shipment was held up by customs for 45 days. Part of it was sent back. But after much prayer, phone calls and fees, all the materials made it to Pastor Pavel.

CFO is experiencing a constant spiritual battle everywhere for one simple reason: We are battling Satan to win souls – in a Godless country!

Thousands of Siberian souls will be won into the

eternal kingdom for Jesus. That’s because the Holy Spirit is more powerful than anything the devil can throw at us. (1 John 4:4)

A letter of thanks from Siberia

After receiving the shipment, here are excerpts of a letter from Pastor Pavel:

Dear Friends, Greetings to you in the name of

our Savior Jesus Christ. My wife, Marina, and I have been missionaries in Siberia for 14 years. It’s really not about a place we are in but the Person we know and are called by.

He sent and keeps us going forward.If we have the willing heart of a

servant, then the Holy Spirit will lead and perform the work of saving and transforming by bringing the good news of God’s love to the lost.

The more we share the good news with people, the more we want to share. It’s a great way to experience the presence and flow of God.

Recently, though not without trials, we received 50,000 wristbands and 50,000 tracts in Russian from Christian Farmers Outreach. Our vision was to introduce this amazing tool for soul winning to the evangelical community in our city of Tyumen.

Many churches have already used the wristbands and tracts for

evangelism and reported to us how excited they were to see people’s openness to the Gospel. Imagine reaching 50,000 young people, children or anyone willing to hear.

(continued on next page)

Please pray with us for training we’re going to give local pastors and for these 50,000 dear souls! I thank God and Christian Farmers who paid a price and helped us get these wristbands on Siberian ground.

A Christian is never out of business if he or she is about our Father’s business. A Christian who wins souls can’t be bored because in his/her message is the power of God for salvation of an eternal soul.

Being a part of God’s business, the Lord has taken care of our needs. For the past 14 years, we saw many souls saved and follow the Lord.

We are excited with partnering with Christian Farmers Outreach. They display to us the willingness and availability to the Holy Spirit. Heaven will show amazing fruit of their labor of love.

‘Hoping For Heaven’ Won’t Get You There by John Vogel

the ChaLLenge

re you absolutely certain you’ll go to Heaven when you die? Many people coming through CFO booths respond: “I hope so.” And many

add, “It’s impossible to know for sure.”

So, let’s take this conversation a step farther: “Do you believe the Bible is God’s Word?” And most will at least nod their heads “yes.”

If you believe it’s God’s Word and have truly asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, then as a Christ-follower, you have 100% assurance that you’ll be home with the Lord upon your passing. The Bible says so!

• John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

• John 5:24: “. . . whoever hears My [Jesus] word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”

• Romans 10:9: “. . . if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

• Romans 10:13: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

• Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved, through faith . . . It is the gift of God, not by your works.

• 1 John 5:13: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”

So it’s quite clear, isn’t it?

This is a test . . .You’ll be graded pass or fail, so you must have the

right answer.

Have you confessed your sins to God? Have you asked Jesus to be your Savior and Lord of your life? Do you have a growing hunger for studying His Word?

If your answers are yes, then you KNOW you’re Heaven-bound! That’s what separates the Christ-follower from the cultural Christian.

If you aren’t experiencing clear evidences of His grace, pray for His forgiveness and redemption. It’s

hugely important that you do so. Jesus said it clearly: “No one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again.” (John 3:3)

When you know you’ve got that “ticket” to Heaven, it changes EVERYTHING! You’ll be changed! You’ll grow in grace and knowledge! You’ll be inspired by the Holy Spirit to study God’s word more and more.

Don’t put it off! Pray now. Ask God to forgive your sins. Ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. Begin the wonderful journey taking you all the way to Heaven!

You’ll be graded pass or fail, so you must have

the right answer.

how we Share

Many ask “How do you share so effectively?” And the answer is: We share God’s message simply and directly –as shown in the Gospel tract. And we stick to His message – without preaching!

oPening“I want to share God’s plan for you. He wants everyone with him in Heaven.”

StePS to FoLLowFollow every color starting with the gold bead.at the end go back to the red bead, representing what Jesus did for us, and ask “have you responded to this?”Then ask the question at the bot-tom of the tract (Are you 100% sure?).if they say yes, ask them how they know. If they cannot tell you that they have Jesus in their heart, go back to the verses in the tract.romans 10:13 “ Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord....” that is responding to what Jesus did for us.John 1:12 “But as many as re-ceived him...” that is responding to what Jesus did for us.If you know romans 10:9, quote it. that is responding to what Jesus did for us.

Say: “it is your decision whether you go to heaven or not. We are of free will. Choosing to open our hearts and invite Jesus in, beginning a personal relationship with Jesus, is what takes you to heaven.”Ask: “Would you like to know that? would you like to invite Jesus into your heart? I will word a simple prayer and help you.”aFter they Prayhave them sign the back of the tract. Give them the tract so they remember their spiritual birthday.• Go to page 2 of the follow up

book “Beginning Again”• Show them the page and say

“Now you are 100% sure you are going to heaven.”

ConFirm their deCiSion“what did you just do that you now know this?” Make sure that they tell you.• Then say “I would like to give

you a follow up book. when you get home would you read it?”

• When they are ready to leave the booth, ask them: “Where is Jesus?”(if they don’t say “in heart!” start over!!)

• Let the know he will walk with them 24/7.

request: “If you come to this event next year, please stop by the booth and share with us what it meant knowing you had Jesus with you this past year.”Give everyone a tract so they can see the message and colors and ask them to share this with others.

Pray for each person you lead to Christ. Thank you for helping CFO increase the kingdom of heaven!

SouL winning reSuLtSSoul-Winning Results via CFO Volunteers

From cover to cover of this magazine, you’ve see the fast-growing, dramatic impact of this Spirit-led ministry. But we need your involvement.

Four ways you can helpThis ministry is fast-growing solely because Christ-followers

like you are answering God’s call. To our more than 1,000 faithful workers and supporters: Thank you! Here’s how you can partner in this ministry during 2013 and beyond:• Help! We need many more bead-stringers! Worldwide demand for CFO’s beaded rawhides is exploding as more and more trained people are reaching more and more unsaved souls. Commit yourself or a small group to string beads on rawhides. Each bag is about 15 hours of work for one person. Check the box on the coupon and send it in.• A CFO leader will train you! Urge your church or organization to be trained to effectively present the salvation message. This is the primary calling of every Christian church. Ones that do so

will “catch fire” and be awesomely blessed. (See page 19) Again, check the coupon or contact us at 443.508.4338.• Invest in our outreach! Many thousands of dollars are necessary to touch more than 250,000 lives here and around the world in the coming year. That money comes from hearts, not Heaven. Nearly 100% of our resources are used for materials to share the message and train others. You multiply – not add to – the Lord’s outreach. Please complete the coupon and enclose your deeply appreciated gift. • Click on www.christianfarmers.com! There, you’ll catch the latest on CFO’s outreach efforts and our new videos. You’ll also find the CFOShop.com link. Become a preferred customer and shop online for all the things you are currently buying from all of your favorite stores. You earn cashback from your purchases and CFO receives a small royalty from the web service provider. With the holidays coming up it’s a great way to save money and help CFO too!

CFO continues its long partnership with the Farmers and Hunters Feeding The Hungry ministry. In the last year, enough venison was provided for 60,000 meals for the homeless served by five Baltimore region shelters.

With your help, CFO and FHFH hope to deliver enough deer meat to West Side Mission, Westminster Rescue

Mission, the Helping Up Mission, Teen Challenge and the Baltimore Rescue Mission for another 60,000 meals this fall and winter. To help, designate a portion of a gift to CFO for the Deer Meat Ministry. See below for details.

Vernon Bernard Bolte, 90, went to our Heavenly Father on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012. Christian Farmers Outreach is grateful for the many years he was able to be a vital part of its ministry. Vernon served on CFO’s board as

vice president, and was most recently the board’s chaplain. Memorial contributions to Christian Farmers Outreach in Vernon’s name are deeply appreciated.

Certain of Your Relationship With Jesus?

If you’re certain, you already know you’re on a journey of ever-growing closeness to your Savior. If you’re not confident of it, you can change it – today – and be absolutely sure of your salvation.

Christ promises that if you repent of your sins and accept Him as your Savior that you can enjoy that special relationship He promises and have eternal life.

Start your relationship with Christ by praying this simple prayer:

“O God. I know I’m a sinner and sorry for my sins. Forgive me.

“I turn from my sins and receive Jesus Christ as my Savior.

“I confess Him as my Lord. And, from now on I want to follow Him.

“In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

arie Winters, a registered nurse, travels on a medical team in

worldwide missions. She and another worker shared CFO’s color beads in medical clinics set up to help those in need in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Since their patients have many medical needs, lines at these clinics grow quite long. So Marie takes the initiative with those waiting in line for medical treatment, and shares the color bead message of salvation with them.

One man who was losing his sight due was already 50% blind and was told his eye disorder would leave him completely blind. Marie prayed with him and offered the bracelet along with the Gospel message. He responded, asking Jesus into his heart.

Once Blind, Now He Sees!thiS iS how god ChangeS LiveS!

A year later, this man was fully healed and had complete vision. Now, he’s studying to become a pastor.

Marie encountered another man serving time in prison for taking a life of another in self-defense. As she tended to his medical needs, she also offered him the saving power of Jesus using CFO’s bracelet.

Then, there in that jail, overwhelmed by God’s love, he accepted Jesus and repented of his crime. For once in his life, he felt like a free man.Whomever the Son has set free is

free indeed.Thank God for empowering people

like Marie who traveling the world to win lost souls and share Christ’s healing grace.
