URGENT Its Time for You to Be a Conscientious Witness!
October 2016

An Amazing Fact: During World War II, conscientious

objector Desmond Doss refused to carry a weapon into
combata decision that brought him scorn among his
fellow soldiers and persecution from his commanders.
But then in April 1945, as a medic, Doss joined his
battalion as it attempted to capture a steep bluff. In the
process, dozens of wounded men were pinned down at
the top of the ridge beneath a withering counterassault.
Doss repeatedly exposed himself to heavy gun and
mortar fire as he rescued one man after another75
in all. This courageous action and others earned him
Americas highest military award, the Medal of Honor,
the first ever given to a conscientious objector.
Dear friend,
While God expects you and me to always be ready (1 Peter 3:15) to share our
faith, every once in a while He opens a door so wide that its hard to miss His
direct providential leading!
And today, we have the blessed opportunity to walk through that door and
make a real impact for Christ and His church unlike anything weve seen in a
while. Will you please join me in walkingbetter yet, runningthrough that
wide-open door so that we can bring glory to God and more souls to Jesus and
His faithful church?
However, we dont have a lot of time to take advantage of this unique,
powerful, but brief window for witnessing. Let me explain
Providential Cooperation
You know that I would never suggest that anyone go watch a Hollywood
film. But what if I told you that, through a bit of providential cooperation, the
Hollywood movie industry is about to bring significant attention to Jesus last-

(over, please)
day truth and church so that millions of people will hear about it for the very
first time? Wouldnt you agree that we should be ready to make the most of this
wave of seekers who are going to have some deep questionssearching online
and among their friendswanting to know where this hero got his faith and
about the remnant church?
The $55 million film Hacksaw Ridge is opening next month, November, and it
tells the story of Desmond Doss, a Sabbath-keeping Christian and war hero.
On several occasions, I had the chance to visit this
brave yet humble soul when he would visit a church
where I was pastoring. (His wife Frances family lived
there.)
I know millions of people are going to be inspired
and intrigued by Desmond Doss amazing true story
when they see Hacksaw Ridge. Many will then seek to
know more about what made this courageous man
willing to sacrifice his life to save soldiers who had once
called him a coward and severely persecuted him.
Yet Im a little concerned that the first thing they are
going to do is look for information on the Internet, a
place often rife with misinformation. Think of it: Honest seekers will witness a
stirring film about a courageous Sabbath-keeping Christian and search for more
information about his churchonly to be assailed by the devious propaganda of
the devil.
I know you dont want that to happen, and I dont either. Thats why we
need to ACT QUICKLY. So pleaseprayerfully join me in making sure these
seekers have access to the REAL TRUTH about Gods Sabbath and His end-time
people before Satan gets the chance to steal away the good seed sown into their
hearts (Matthew 13:19). If we dont do it, who will?
Be ReadyAlways!
This is such a rare witnessing opportunity that we need to IMMEDIATELY
get ready for it so it wont pass Gods church by. So heres my three-part
proposal!
1. By faith, Amazing Facts has already produced a sharing book that
combines the Desmond Doss testimony with his beliefs about the Bible.
This gripping, easy-to-share book reveals the unique testing truths God
has blessed His church with. Well create a cover that connects to the
film, piquing interest, so that readers know theyre getting the facts.
Were going to ask churchesand friends like youto buy these small,
attractive, and affordable sharing books by the boxload so that they can be

 easily distributed by congregations outside movie theaters, grocery stores,
auto service waiting rooms, doctor offices, and wherever else God opens
the door. It will also include an opportunity to sign up for our newly
designed Study Guides!
2. Were going to use Google, YouTube, and Facebook to blanket the Internet
with ads about the true source of Desmond Dosss faithtaking advantage
of the increasing interest as the movies debut arrives, as it plays in
theaters, and the many weeks and months that follow.
3. Were creating a television and radio campaign that connects to Hacksaw
Ridge and allows seekers to call in for the free book about The Hero of
Hacksaw Ridge.
Thats the plan in a nutshell. The good news is that Amazing Facts knows
how to accomplish these goals for the maximum impact. Weve reached millions
of people with similar successful campaigns regarding the truth about hellfire,
the Mayan Calendar, and even Harold Campings false predictions about Jesus
return only a few years ago.
But while it looks simple, making it happen requires a lot of moving parts
to be assembled very quickly. And, of course, it requires the resources of Gods
loving peopleyouto ensure His church has the tools to respond to the influx
of inquiries we are bound to receive.
To blanket North America with the truth about Gods church during the
next few months will cost about $150,000so today, Im asking for your special,
sacrificial help this month.
History Is About to Be Made!
Friend, Im so thrilled, because I believe were about to make history
together! Imagine, because of what you and I do today how many new souls
will be exposed to the truth about the Sabbath, the afterlife, Gods law, grace, His
true church, and Jesus soon return.
Did you know that the director of Hacksaw Ridge, Mel
Gibson, was the same man behind blockbuster films like
Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ, a film that was seen
by nearly a billion people globally? Its unfathomable that he
would direct a major film about a spirited Sabbath-keeper
but God is moving mightily!
Of course, Hollywood has the tendency to distort or
embellish the facts, but the important thing is that you
and I are ready to be messengers of truth so when people
walk out of the theater and search online, they can find the
precious truth. Please, join Amazing Facts now in making
the most of this unprecedented opportunity!

Finally, friend, you know that Gods church has been gaining visibility in the
current political cycle. Through Ben Carsons campaign, and now Hacksaw Ridge,
God is leading the lost to search out His people, and I believe that means were
on the cusp of the final events of the great controversy here on earth. Its time
to lay aside every weight and to move forward proclaiming His truth. Your gift
today will make the difference now and in eternity!

P.S. It happens rarely in historywhen God inspires pagan kings like

Nebuchadnezzar and Darius to issue international proclamations exalting
the God of the Bible (Daniel 3:29; Daniel 6:26). God is getting ready to use an
internationally known Catholic director to do the same. So lets not let this
wonderful door of opportunity pass without pointing people to the living
God. Be a hero today and give so others will live!
