New Billboards July/Aug. 2010)
We are definitely
living in a serious time of earth’s history. Prophecies are reaching their final
fulfillments. God’s people in these last days will be looking at the final
events as described by Jesus p And because we are seeing the final events develop in ways that our pioneers hadn’t seen, we need to be even more earnest and vigilant than even they were. We need to press forward with the Sabbath message of the third angel with greater earnestness and zeal than the founders of this movement. If you have closely followed the work of this ministry, you should already know about a billboard we recently placed in California. For many years we had been praying that the Lord open the doors and help us secure a billboard in this state. Even though we have on several occasions previously published our full-page newspaper advertisement “Earth’s Final Warning” in the LA Times, Orange County Register, San Bernardino Sun, LA Daily News, La Opinion, just to name a few; however, we had been looking to place our first billboard in California for many years. With so many rejections by different outdoor advertising agencies, it had not been easy. Yet what may seem impossible for man is only an opportunity for God to display His sovereignty over all things. By His grace we have been able to accomplish the very thing we had for years been praying for—a billboard in California. We praise the Lord that with the help of faithful brethren in California we have been instrumental in seeing this work move forward. We are also glad to announce to each of you that within the last couple of weeks we have placed another billboard in Oklahoma. Once again, the Lord has also inspired faithful Seventh-day Adventist brethren who want to see this work move forward. God is using the faithful and now the warning message is being proclaimed to thousands of travelers using State Road 69, the main highway between Dallas, TX and Oklahoma City, OK. We are happy to inform you that these billboards that have come out will not be the last ones. By God’s grace and the continued financial support of each of you we have plans on moving forward with the message God has ordained to be given in this hour of earth’s history. Brethren, Jesus is coming soon and that is our Joy! The three angels’ messages, with its powerful depictions of prophecy, are the only messages that can awaken the masses who are drunk on the wine of Babylon (Rev. 17:2). The three-fold message is God’s only and final solution for the last-day deceptions that will sweep the entire world. These billboards make a strong emphasis on the Seventh-day Sabbath and reveals the close relationship between obedience and faith. “This is the last message. There is no more to follow, no more invitations of mercy to be given after this message shall have done its work.” Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 207. Sunday worship is described as the mark of the beast, and by keeping it one gives homage to the Beast of Revelation, not to the Creator-God of the Universe. The Devil hates these billboards because it exposes his master plan of deception which has entrapped the entire world. And as members of God’s Remnant Church we praise the Lord that hundreds of thousands of people are coming across the truth that God has for this time. There is a blessing and joy in fulfilling the work in these last days. Obviously, it would impossible for our ministry to carry this burden alone. What a great joy we have to see brethren from all over the United States who are committed to giving the last message of warning to the world. Let us keep praying that many more of our Adventist brethren could wake up to help us with their prayers and resources so that work can be finished, and so that Christ may come, and we can go home. —Pastor Raphael Perez

Spring 2010 Camp Meeting (Mar./Apr. 2010)
We enjoyed a wonderful
week-end of Camp Meeting in Oklahoma this past spring. We measure success not
by the number of people that attend but by the response and interaction of those
who attend. We truly had a very blessed weekend. Every year provides its own set
of challenges and this year was not an exception. The financial situation that
has been affecting everyone has resulted in many of our friends not being able
to attend due to the ever-increasing travel expenses. Nonetheless, we thank God
for His provisions and mighty work which He continues to provide for each of us.
It is truly a pleasure to do His work and to see how his Holy Spirit draws
people to Himself throughout camp meeting.
From the visitors to the special music to the guest speakers, we all gained much spiritually. There was something for everyone this year at Camp Meeting. The children and young adults each had their own services. What was really special is that later they presented a special program that was a blessing to all. Our brethren witnessed the move of God on the young people during their participation. We are so pleased with the quality programs available for these young people. It is evident that the kids gain much from camp meeting as well. Many of the youth are in need of attending spiritual retreats. It truly is a blessing when you people are involved in the preparation for the end times. We want to thank the teachers for their involvement in help to prepare these young people for heave. Notice the following inspired statement: “In our large churches very much might be done for the youth. Shall they have less special labor; shall fewer inducements be held out to them to become full-grown Christian men and women in Christ Jesus...Shall they be left to drift hither and thither, to become discouraged, and to fall into the temptations that are lurking everywhere to catch their unwary feet? The work that lies next to our church members is to become interested in our youth.” Counsels to Parents, Teachers and Students, p. 41. We thoroughly enjoyed the presentations given by our guest speakers: Pastor John Grosboll, Pastor Domingo Nunez, Dr. Teresa Sherard, and myself, Pastor Perez. The adults were also enlightened as we were encouraged to uphold the principles which greatly influence the Second Advent Movement. The sermons were insightful and thought-provoking throughout the weekend. The central focus of the week was to be a people wholly devoted to the will of God entering into the holy life by being emptied of self and full of the Holy Spirit. Emphasis was made to consecrate our all to Him and invite Him to come and sanctify us wholly, and to keep in step with the Spirit as we live out this life of purity. Please consider coming and investing in your lives by participating in Camp Meeting. Thanks to all who came, and especially to those volunteers whose help made it possible to have another successful camp meeting. God bless you and walk with Him every step of the way. —Pastor Raphael Perez

Puerto Rico Meeting (Jan./Feb. 2010)
We are moving out in faith as God directs us with the great gospel commission. It is only through the everlasting gospel of Revelation 14 that we can help people prepare for the soon return of Christ. The Bible reveals that the proclamation of this gospel will bring in a sure result—for we read that the souls saved in God’s kingdom are from every nation. “And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it.” Rev. 21:24. Praise the Lord that one day in God’s kingdom there will be perfect peace and unity among the nations! Praise the lord the all the strife and conflicts that exist today in our world will soon end! This experience will come about as a direct result of the gospel. This everlasting gospel must penetrate the lives and enlighten the hearts and minds of the nations so that a better world can exist. This is God’s will:
“And this
gospel of the kingdom shall be preached
in all the world for a witness unto all nations;
and then shall the end come.” Matt. 24:14.
Friends, this is the work which God has directed us to do. It is described in Revelation as the everlasting gospel which shall illuminate the whole earth and prepare a people for the soon coming of Christ:
“And I saw another
angel fly in the midst of heaven,
having the everlasting gospel
to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation,
and kindred, and tongue, and people.”
Rev. 14:6.
It is a blessing to reflect on what we’ve accomplished during these last few years, and I give all the praise and thanks to God. As we look to the future there is so much to look forward too. Thanks to all of you who have helped with your prayers and support. We have seen God’s working-power in our lives and in the ministry. Our heavenly father has given us the ability to take this everlasting gospel to reach tens of thousands of people throughout the world through newspapers, radio programs, billboards and through revival/evangelistic meetings. None of this would be possible if it were not for Divine intervention and the prayers and financial support of all of you. May the Lord keep blessing each of you so that we can be a blessing to many. God bless you. Your brother in Christ.
—Pastor Raphael Perez

Camp Meeting Report (Nov./Dec. 2009)
Our Fall 2009 Oklahoma
Camp Meeting was truly a great blessing. The feedback that I have been receiving
by the The power of the Holy Spirit was felt and many rededicated their lives to the Lord. We want to especially thank Pastor Stephen Lewis, Dr. Pandit, and Elder Charles Gordon for helping to make this one of the most spiritual uplifting and blessed event. The weather cooperated and the rain stood still until camp meeting was over. We were also running at full capacity. Over 200 precious souls attended on Sabbath. What a blessing it was to know that there was more than enough food to feed everyone. We praise the Lord because He always surpasses our expectation. We also want to announce our next Spring 2010 Oklahoma Camp Meeting. The dates will be April 8-11, 2010. Please make your reservations as soon as possible. This year we are planning to start on Thursday with some lectures and studies on health. We have an M.D. who is also a nutritionist who will be giving us discourses and classes on health. Then on Friday evening we will begin our regularly scheduled camp meeting. Stay tuned and we will be announcing the speakers and times in the next issue of our ministry updates. “The camp-meetings are important occasions for all our people...The whole heart should be engaged in this service, that a better knowledge of the Scriptures may be obtained, that the plan of salvation may be better understood, and that there may be a deeper realization of what salvation means, and what it will cost to meet the high requirements of God.” Review and Herald, June 26, 1888. —Pastor Raphael Perez

Our Message Goes to Hawaii (Nov./Dec. 2009)
On September 17, 2009, we published a two full-page ad in the main section of the Molokai Dispatch, a newspaper of Kaunakakai, Hawaii. Kaunakakai is a town in Maui County with over 2,600 people living there. The two full-page ad is the same one which we have been publishing during the last 16 years. “Liberty of Conscience Threatened—Sunday will be enforced and the Mark of the Beast” reads the headline of the two-page ad. It is our study on the true Seventh-day Sabbath versus Sunday and how its change relates to the development of the mark of the beast found in revelation chapters13 and 14. There is no question that Sunday is being agitated in different places around the world. We’ve documented how many people are pushing for Sunday legislation through The Eternal Gospel Herald publication. We are told that this issue will be the central theme as we come to the close of the great controversy between Christ and Satan. “The Sabbath will be the great test of loyalty, for it is the point of truth especially controverted. When the final test shall be brought to bear upon men, then the line of distinction will be drawn between those who serve God and those who serve Him not…” Great Controversy, p. 605. Since the Seventh-day Sabbath is the great test, we must let people know about it before the test comes. May the Lord help us to work in His vineyard so that the seeds of the Third Angel can be sown. There is a great harvest of souls waiting to be gathered in. “But not one is made to suffer the wrath of God until the truth has been brought home to his mind and conscience, and has been rejected. There are many who have never had an opportunity to hear the special truths for this time. The obligation of the fourth commandment has never been set before them in its true light.” Ibid. —Pastor Raphael Perez

The Literature Work (Sept./Oct. 2009)
Our church was established in 1999 by Seventh Day Adventists. Currently, we have about 27 members, including children in our church. We chose to name our church Three Angels Church, given our desire to present the Three Angels’ Messages of Revelation to all the world. We currently are involved in many evangelistic efforts to hasten the coming of our Lord. We have 6 Last Generation magazine boxes located in different areas around the state, as well as Billboards from the Eternal Gospel Church. We currently have 5 billboards up and running throughout the state. One large one in Omaha, the largest city in Nebraska, 2 others in Lincoln, our capital, and 2 in other parts of Nebraska. We are also conducting Bible work in rural areas of North central, NE – trying to reach those who have never been exposed to the Three Angels’ Messages. Rural work is just as important as city work as these people have not been exposed to the messages like that of the city. These people need to hear God’s message as do those living in the large cities. The responses are different, people are not quick to slam the door, but are much more curious as they don’t typically have people from any religion doing this type of work in these areas. We realize the importance of the message of the Adventist faith, and that our time is running short. Every year we sponsor two fair booths in the local cities near us to bring about more interest to the last day message. This year we sat down to discuss what we wanted our theme for our booths to be. We decided to call The Eternal Gospel Church and see if they could help us get a banner made for our booth, one that looked just like the billboards. God blessed and we were able to accomplish getting the banner here just in time for the first fair booth. Of all the years we have done the fair booths, we have never had such interest as we did this year. More material was distributed this year in comparison to previous events. We usually have to pack up many boxes to take back to the church, and this year very little was taken back. The literature most taken were the Antichrist and Earth’s Final Warning, both published by Eternal Gospel Church. Praise God for the blessing that this message is bringing. We may not see the immediate effects of such efforts, but one day we may be addressed in heaven by many that have come to Him through such efforts. We encourage you all to work the fair booths with these last day messages.
We look forward to next year when they will move the State Fair to a city near us. We plan on using this same banner for the State Fair in 2010!! Please pray for these efforts.

The Publishing Work (July/August 2009) “You are not as a people doing one twentieth part of what might be done in spreading the knowledge of the truth. Very much more can be accomplished by the living preacher with the circulation of papers and tracts than by the preaching of the word alone without the publications. The press is a powerful instrumentality which God has ordained to be combined with the energies of the living preacher to bring the truth before all nations, kindreds, tongues, and peoples. Many minds can be reached in no other way.” The Publishing Ministry, pp. 44, 45. The proclamation of the Three Angels’ Messages has, from its beginning, been connected to the literature work. Our pioneers understood the power and influence of our truth-filled literature. Early on in the history of our movement, much effort was put into the printing and distribution of the written word through publications. “And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.” Exo. 14:15. Friends, our publishing work has been ordained by God. Some souls will only be reached by this line of work. Every tract, every book, and every piece of literature that is distributed is being done in obedience to God’s command to “go forward.” The literature work must keep pace with the same progress along the other lines of our work. And it must be given the same attention and considerations as every other work that is being done to prepare men for the second coming of Christ. There is abundant proof that whole churches have been raised up as a direct result of the seed sown through well-presented and well-distributed literature, both here at home and in countries abroad. Not until the literature work becomes a definite part of our church program will we see and enjoy the results of the seeds of the gospel falling like the leaves of autumn. Then, this will eventually bring about the loud cry of the third angel into its fullness. Notice the following inspired statement describing the relationship between the loud cry and our publications: “The arguments have been presented. The seed has been sown, and now it will spring up and bear fruit. The publications distributed by missionary workers have exerted their influence, yet many whose minds were impressed have been prevented from fully comprehending the truth or from yielding obedience. Now the rays of light penetrate everywhere, the truth is seen in its clearness, and the honest children of God sever the bands which have held them. Family connections, church relations, are powerless to stay them now. Truth is more precious than all besides. Notwithstanding the agencies combined against the truth, a large number take their stand upon the Lord's side.” The Great Controversy, p. 612. Yes, souls have been, are being, and will continue to be won in large numbers by our faithful literature evangelism. Every month we distribute tens of thousands of pieces of literature all over the world containing the final warning message for this hour. We fill orders for both Earth’s Final Warning and The Antichrist to faithful brethren who in turn distribute them as well. We also mail free books to people who have either read the Earth’s Final Warning through the full-page newspaper ads, or who have seen one of our many billboards, or who have heard one of our radio programs that are reaching tens of thousands of people each month. We will continue to respond to the call to “go forward” with this work. Your support and prayers in this service are greatly appreciated. God is calling you. Will you respond?

Fall Camp Meeting 2009 (July/August 2009)
As we approach the end of summer we want to remind you of our Oklahoma Camp Meeting 2009 this autumn. It would do us good to recall the blessings, the purposes, and objectives of these gatherings. The Spirit of prophecy has given us divine counsel on the matter of attending camp meeting. “It is important that the members of our churches should attend our camp meetings. The enemies of truth are many; and because our numbers are few, we should present as strong a front as possible. Individually you need the benefits of the meeting, and God calls upon you to number one in the ranks of truth...Strengthen the meeting all you possibly can by being present with your families. Put forth extra exertion to attend the gathering of God’s people.” Testimonies, Vol. 6, pp. 38, 39. Camp meeting is a time for preaching, fellowship, and personal soul-searching. Notice what is the focus for the theme of camp meeting: “The very first and most important thing is to melt and subdue the soul by presenting our Lord Jesus Christ as the sin-pardoning savior. Never should a sermon be preached, or a Bible instruction in any line be given, without pointing the hearers to the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:29).” Ibid. pp. 53, 54. These words apply to the needs of all who attend camp meeting. They are to be evangelistic. We must hear the important truths for this time. They are also to be a place for revival and reformation as well. The speakers for the October camp meeting will include: Dr. Sudhir Pandit, MD, Pastor Raphael Perez, Pastor Stephen Lewis, and Elder Charles Gordon.

BILLBOARD UPDATE (May/June 2009) In addition to coordinating over 25 billboards across major highways throughout North America reaching tens of thousands of people every month, we have also been sponsoring billboards in Central and South America. This particular billboard is located on the main highway which leads to El Alto International Airport, located in La Paz, Bolivia. The message reads, “Saturday the True Lord’s day, the Seal of God (Eze. 20:12, 20; Mat. 12:8) Sunday was used by the Pagans for Worship, and will become the Mark of the Beast (Eze. 8:16; Rev.14:9, 11).” Obviously, for all this work, none of us can take any credit. Daily, we receive phone calls from people throughout the country who are desiring to know more about the Sabbath as a result of these billboards. This last week alone, we sent our “Sabbath Pack” [literature on the Sabbath] to people in Nebraska, Maryland, New York, Montana, and Colorado. Pray for all the souls which are awakening so that when the final conflict over God’s law becomes a test for the world, many will be in the kingdom. If any of you feel impressed by the Lord to help with this line of work please let us know. It is through the Lord’s help and your financial support that allows us to continue in this work. God bless you and keep us in your prayers. “The Sabbath question is to be the issue in the great final conflict, in which all the world will act a part. Men have honored Satan's principles above the principles that rule in the heavens. They have accepted the spurious sabbath, which Satan has exalted as the sign of his authority.” Bible Commentary, Vol. 7, p. 977.

Oklahoma Spring Camp Meeting (May/June 2009)Our Spring 2009 Oklahoma Camp Meeting was truly a blessing. We want to thank everyone who helped and contributed to making it such a wonderful and spiritually-uplifting event. Thanks to all of you who contributed prayers, time, food, or money to help! At least 40 new people attended first time. We praise the Lord for that!
John Simpson offered presentations on preparation for country living: building, solar electricity, buying the right type of property, and also the spiritual preparation needed.
light for Christ. His theme, Free in Christ, is very relevant for these last days. I had the opportunity to give the historic and prophetic word from Revelation with all the parallels and present-day applications for our time.
We
were also blessed with special music. We had a spiritual feast of sacred music
with over 8 specials by different brethren. What a blessing!
Plans are on the way for our next camp meeting. All are invited to come and enjoy an old-fashioned revival and reformation weekend of preaching and seminars on preparation for the end time. Let’s not miss all these blessings and surprises that the Lord imparts during camp meeting. “The power of God was felt at the camp meeting held there recently, and we hope that many souls will be relieved as a result of its work, and that many more will lay hold of the truth of the gospel. Now, if you want to help, do so, and the Lord will let His blessing rest upon you.” Sermons and Talks, Vol. 2, p. 320.

Two New Billboards on Major Highways in Midwestern, USA (March/April 2009) “Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:2. Here we see how the Lord instructed the prophet to publish the message on tables so that those who traveled could see it. The Lord wanted Habakkuk’s prophecy to be made public. The message was to be so clear that any passersby could read it without difficulty. This is very similar to billboard advertising. The Spirit of Prophecy also gives us a similar counsel. “Truth will be made so prominent that he who runs may read. Means will be devised to reach hearts. Some of the methods used in this work will be different from the methods used in the work in the past; but let no one, because of this, block the way by criticism. We must take every justifiable means of bringing the light before the people. Let the press be utilized, and let every advertising agency be employed that will call attention to the work. This should not be regarded as nonessential. On every street corner you may see placards and notices calling attention to various things that are going on, some of them of the most objectionable character; and shall those who have the light of life be satisfied with feeble efforts to call the attention of the masses to the truth?” Evangelism, pp. 129, 130. And so it is today, our message is to be published so that all can have the opportunity to hear the final testing truths for this time. Outdoor billboard advertising alongside busy high-traffic areas is an effective means of reaching travelers from all over the country with our message. It is relatively cheaper than other forms of advertising but just as effective in communicating with the public. The huge colorful signs are very impactful “that he who runs may read.” We praise the Lord for all of these opportunities which He gives to us to be an instrument in the salvation of souls. Without the Lord’s help and your support, it would be impossible to move forward with this. Thank you all for your prays and continued support. “Most startling messages will be borne by men of God's appointment, messages of a character to warn the people, to arouse them. And while some will be provoked by the warning, and led to resist light and evidence, we are to see from this that we are giving the testing message for this time.” Evangelism, p. 168.

PRISON MINISTRY (March/April 2009)
“I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” Matt. 25:36. “Christ identified Himself with the necessities of His people. Their needs and their sufferings were His.” Testimonies, Vol. 3, p. 186. When God compares His children to salt (Mat. 5:13), He would teach them that they may become agents in saving others. We are blessed to work hand in hand with ministries like Christmas Behind Bars and others who are giving our unique message to the lost souls who are incarcerated. Over the past few years we have been able to conduct about 800 Bible studies with prisoners from all over the United States. Also, we distribute approximately 27,000 pieces of literature per year to different state and federal prisons. Most of this work has grown by word of mouth. Many of the prisoners refer others, including their family members outside of the prison systems to request the free literature we offer. We are so thankful to all of our supporters who help make this work possible. God’s hand is in this work and together we will not forget those who are prisoners behind bars nor those who are prisoners to sin. —Pastor Raphael Perez

The Eternal Gospel Herald Goes to Over 200,000 Adventist Homes (January/February 2009)
“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence.” Isaiah 62:6.
Our position is a simple one, we are essentially calling upon our people to strive to adhere to the Historical Seventh-day Adventist teaching which God has given to us. There has been great confusion and changes taking place within Adventism over the past five decades. Our people must guard against these new attitudes. Under the counsels from God’s inspired writings, faithful men and women are called to oppose that which in any way contradicts the foundational pillars of the faith.
“I was again brought
down through these messages, and saw how dearly the people of God
The Eternal Gospel Herald is dedicated to preserving the foundational pillars of the Seventh-day Adventist faith. Our commitment to maintaining the historical landmarks is the most important responsibility for this time. We have to help wake-up to the fact that we are to “contend earnestly for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints.” Jude. 3.
“We are to repeat the words of the pioneers in our work, who knew what it cost to search for the truth as for hidden treasure, and who labored to lay the foundation of our work. They moved forward step by step under the influence of the Spirit of God. One by one these pioneers are passing away. The word given me is, Let that which these men have written in the past be reproduced.” Counsels to Writers and Editors, p. 28.
“I was shown that we had a work to do, that we must still bear our testimony, straight and pointed. Individuals were presented before me who had shunned the pointed testimony. I saw the influence of their teachings upon God's people.” Testimonies, Vol. 1, p. 247.
Many claim to be preaching the truth and standing up for the right. But then preach smooth things, things that they know won’t place them in a position to defend our beliefs. Some of these very men then go on and attack the very foundation of the Seventh-day Adventist faith.
That is why we have been given the burden of reaching out to our people. We want to awaken our fellow-believers, making them aware of the hour in which we live and to help prepare them to stand for the truth given for this time. We must continue to uphold and preach the pure, unadulterated messages of Revelation 14. We have a message to bear both to the world and to the church. And this restoration of the pure faith among God’s people is a work that needs to continue. Until that happens though, laymen must do all in their power to keep their own faith and to do what ever they can to help others to do the same in this time of great spiritual darkness.
—Pastor Raphael Perez

During the Last Three Months the Message Reaches over 2 Million (Nov./Dec. 2008)Praise the Lord! During the last three months over two million people have been presentedwith the sealing message of the Three Angels of Revelation 14. Two million alone during the last month, and counting. These messages are actually being presented in the main news sections in major newspapers across the country. In other words, the message is truly being placed in the hands of people and is being read as part of the main news for the day. Notice this inspired statement about sowing seeds of truth and its relation to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. “The seed had been sown by the greatest Teacher the world had ever known. For three and a half years the Son of God had sojourned in the land of Judea, proclaiming the message of the gospel of truth and working with mighty signs and wonders. The seed had been sown, and after His ascension the great ingathering took place. More were converted by one sermon on the day of Pentecost than were converted during all the years of Christ's ministry. So mightily will God work when men give themselves to the control of the Spirit.” Bible Commentary, Vol. 7, p. 1055. Clearly the seeds of truth must be sown before the latter rain falls. You don’t sow seeds during the latter rain because the latter rain prepares the fruit to be harvested. “The latter rain, falling near the close of the season, ripens the grain and prepares it for the sickle.” Testimonies to Ministers, p. 506. “It is the privilege of every Christian not only to look for but to hasten the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, (2 Peter 3:12, margin). Were all who profess His name bearing fruit to His glory, how quickly the whole world would be sown with the seed of the gospel. Quickly the last great harvest would be ripened, and Christ would come to gather the precious grain.” Christ Object Lessons, p. 69. How do we hasten the coming of the Lord? By sowing the seeds of the everlasting gospel of Revelation 14. “Men will misrepresent the doctrines we believe and teach as Bible truth, and it is necessary that wise plans should be laid to secure the privilege of inserting articles into the secular papers; for this will be a means of awakening souls to see the truth.” Evangelism, p. 129. “We are not to cringe and beg pardon of the world for telling them the truth: we should scorn concealment. Unfurl your colors to meet the cause of men and angels.” Evangelism, p. 179. For a full report call our office for a copy of our DVD entitled “Ministry Updates.” In this DVD we go into more details about the work of this ministry. Thank you for your prayers and support. It is only by God’s grace and your help that we can move forward with the great work. —Pastor Raphael Perez P.S. For the glory of God during the last 16 years these full-page newspaper ads, billboards, and radio programs have reached over 60 million people.
