I was over at my friend Ryan's house last week. He showed me a coin that he received from a friend in Switzerland. It shares his vision of how to bring people into God's family

.

The outside rim highlights the lifestyle we need to live: Love, Pray and Care.

To me these are the hardest part of the whole coin.

January 28 is  Lunar New Year.

This is a very special day for all Chinese and Vietnamese and a great day to give them a New Year's Card.

EVANGELISTIC New Years Card

January 28 starts the year of the Roster.  Fire Roosters (people born this year) are said to be good at managing wealth,  so the card shares the parable of rich fool (Luke 12:13-21).

Print the tract out double sided and flip on the SHORT edge.

On Boxing Day my family went to the beach to celebrate Gaby's* birthday.  Every year Gaby* invites us and a bunch of her German friends to a different beach for a picnic.  We talk, play games and sometimes even swim.  Sometimes we get some serious talking in, but usually it is mostly festive talk.

 I never know when God is going to give me an opportunity to talk with someone from another culture about Jesus.

I was sitting in the department store, while my wife was shopping for shoes.  My feet were tired, so I pulled out my phone to continue reading Voyage to the Center of the Earth.

Right then another gentleman sat down right across from me.  Like me, his feet were tired.  Unlike me, he didn't have anything to read.  

Monday was the first day of the new school term and it was a hard one for my wife.  Shortly after arriving on the school grounds she heard the story that four families were in mourning.

I totally forgot about my coaching time with Doug* yesterday.  That is I forgot, until my computer beeped.  My ten minute reminder. Now why did I schedule a coaching appointment in the first week of the school holidays?  Must be important.  Oh, yes.  Doug was on holiday last week and we need to keep moving forward.  

I grabbed a blank sheet of paper and wrote down my outline: CASA.  

What did I need to do for each of these letters?

C – Caring

Last month my son and I went for a walk along the river in Corvallis, Oregon.   He took his phone along because he had recently started playing Pokémon Go and wanted to catch up in points with his wife.  As we rounded one bend we saw a group of 25 people sitting under a tree all madly stroking their phones.  It was easy to strike up a conversation with these people.  Strangers the week before, they had become a community with a common purpose.  Individuals took turns purchasing 'Lures' which allowed everyone passing by to catch additional Pokémon.  

Thanks for checking out the tracts for phones page. I received some very helpful feedback.

Some people wanted to know how soon the app would be ready.  Here is the link for the Android version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hereslife.tracts

Do you know any Christians who speak Indonesian?

I am so glad you have a heart for telling other people about Jesus.  You came to our website (hereslife.com) and downloaded one of our bi-lingual Gospel tracts.  I hope it was helpful in making the Gospel clear to the people you were speaking with.

I just finished making tracts that you can view on your phone.  At least you are supposed to be able to see them on your phone.  There are so many types of phones out there that I have not been able to test them on everything.
