with a testimony that I was on a sales call with a carborundum company in Niagara Falls. They transferred me out of state when I graduated from Bryan and Stratton, out of the Navy, and down to Baltimore, Washington. Then the territory went over to Chicago and all of Wisconsin. And up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on a given day, I went out on a sales call, and for some reason, you know, God was just moving and working in my heart and life for whatever reason. I had no idea. And I couldn't go on with my sales call. I started crying. I called up the distributor. I'll call you tomorrow and get the order. And I just drove back to Milwaukee. Didn't know where I was going. Turned on my windshield wipers. He had tears out of my eyes, I think. But why then? Why now? I had no idea. And so I ended up going to Milwaukee and ended up parking my car in front of a Christian bookstore. I couldn't have showed you a Christian bookstore to save my life. You know, and okay, I walked in and there's a plastic easel to my right is the Good Shepherd scene with Jesus with a lamb in His arms. Big family Bible and I said, you know, I want to be that little sheep. I said that out loud. Maybe, I don't know who hear me, but, and I just grabbed the Bible and put it on my MasterCard and took it back to my house and laid it down on my bed, got it down on my hands and knees, started reading and turning it open to the Lord's Prayer. Over and over and over I'm getting, and then all of a sudden I'm realizing, you know, Jesus is in this book. And you can hear, he's, and so, it's amazing then that I just said, God, I said, if you're for real, Jesus forgive me for my sins save my soul and Through that and it's a King James Bible believe I still have the Bible to this day. I walk by it every time I go in my house and 1611 by King James Bible no question about that. And so why me I don't know but all of a sudden when I got done with that prayer I I realized God is alive. Jesus is alive. This Word is alive. And living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing the center of the soul and spirit, and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart. And the Word of God convicted me and converted me. The Word of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul, making wise the simple. And so anyhow, I just thought, Jesus, wow. I have this peace for some reason. I have this joy. The tears are gone, but then the thought crossed my mind about from Milwaukee to Buffalo. Why didn't anybody ever tell me about Jesus? In Bryan Stratton Business College, in the Navy, all these different places that I knew my fame. Nobody ever took me to church to see Billy Graham, anything. Gave me a gospel track. And I said, what in the world? I know the most wonderful thing in all the world. Jesus is alive. And he has changed my life and he's given me a new life. Wow. A miracle just happened. And I thought, you know, when I get back to Buffalo, You know, I got somebody to tell about Jesus, starting with a mother and father. Starting about, you know, because anybody that I can find, you know, and I haven't been going to, I didn't know where a church was in Milwaukee. And so I had to seek out a church. Couldn't find something that I liked. And then the next thing I know, I'm transferred from Cut-by-Carver and I'm down to Dallas, Texas. And Milwaukee is a big German town. Maybe Luzon is there. Maybe, I don't know what was there. But I got transferred immediately to Dallas, Texas. Well, you know Dallas, Texas is the buckle of the Bible Belt. And so here I go, a little old nobody from Chicoaga, New York, Cleveland Hill High School. almost died in that fire that they had back there the one day. Oh yeah, wow. And I went to hell. I didn't know Jesus. And so, but I have this desire now, I don't know why, to tell other people about Jesus. And so I get down to Dallas and I bought a Bible, King James Bible. And I got out of my little apartment and drove down Loop 12 on Sunday morning, and I'm going to church. I don't know where I'm going to church, honestly. And I drive down Loop 12, and you know, and I look at this one church, and boy, it's a beautiful church. Well, you know, going to church does not make you a Christian. Any more amigo in a garage makes me a car. Did you ever see a gospel track? It had a tape measure of 18 inches on it, and you open it up, and it talks about the difference between your head and your heart. that you can know about God, but do you really know God as your personal Savior? It's not just a head knowledge, it's a heart. Living Jesus Christ every day of your life. Now I'm impassioned about this. And I believe in personal evangelism. I believe in handing out gospel tracts till hell wouldn't have it. And eventually, I go from this one church, playing in the church basketball team, singing in the choir, and all the rest of this stuff. And finally, these young people came by me one day, and it was on the basketball team. I said, where are you going? You're not going into church. He says, well, we're not growing here. And I said, well, maybe I don't know that I'm growing here. Where are you going to grow? So I guess, well, we're going up to this little Bible church up here. And I said, well, I'm going to start out there again. We've been here. It's not growing. And so I go up to this other Bible church. And they're doing early morning prayer, 630 in the morning kind of stuff, going up into the McKinney jail. And so I went up into the Kennedy Jail one day and got locked in up there with the inmates, and Lord have mercy, on the outside the inmates drew a skull and a crossbones with a heroin syringe to the eyeball. And I thought to myself, you know, somebody up there needs Jesus, and I'm gonna find him. And so I'm locked up in there with 40 inmates. Now, I don't know what I'm doing other than I know Jesus, I know this Bible has changed my life, and I started sharing and witnessing with the inmates and, well, I led a man to Christ. I couldn't believe it. I mean, you know, just reading the scriptures and giving my little testimony and, you know, John and Roman Road and John 3, 16 and 17. And would you like to accept Jesus Christ your Savior? And he said, yes, I almost fell over. And we prayed the sinner's prayer, and I got up, and as I was walking out, I said out loud to the Lord, sometimes I do that, God, I want to do this forever. Don't pray about something if you're not serious. Then I thought, the next thought comes to my mind, how can I leave my job with carburantum and do this forever? Then the next thought comes to my mind, something about a seminary or a Bible college or something. I said, you know what, the devil did not put that word in my mouth, Bible college. And I walked out of that jail and finally, I went to a church downtown Dallas. Dr. Krizzle was preaching at a priest's Easter services. And I went back up into the jail the next Saturday. And I'm starting to go to another church now in downtown. And I go up the next Saturday, and the note, the guy was gone. It was in that cell that I first witnessed to. And now I had 40 men milling around. and the bunks and the commodes are over on the right and the bunks are on... And I said, guys, come on over here and let's have a Bible study. And so they come up and they just line up, line up, line up, line up. And all I knew is to give my testimony, read the scriptures, and then whoever wants to accept Christ, I'll lead the invitation and lead them to Jesus. So in the process of that, I think it was Paul and Silas, you know, if the King James Bible is good enough for Paul and Silas, it's good enough for me. Well, I don't know if that's in the Bible exactly, but. So anyhow, these guys got in the bunks, and I started sharing Christ, and I said, bow your heads, and we'll have a time of invitation. And I closed my eyes, and there's somebody crying in front of me. There's another person crying. I had to peek just to make sure what's going on in here. Umpteen men out of 40, at least eight, were crying. And I'm not going to let this mess up my invitation. So I said, all right, you guys, if you could talk, pray this sinner's prayer with me. And practically all of them prayed to receive Christ. And I said, what is it? What happened here? And I prayed and walked out, gave him some gospel tracts. And so down to First Baptist Church, Dallas, I went. And on a given Sunday, I like to sit just two pews back from the pulpit. And this guy, Rufus Higginbotham, comes in with two street people that he met down at the Skid Row Rescue Mission, Indian Gospel Mission. And he brought them to church. They had been sleeping under a bridge the night before. And he brings them down the aisle, and they were in the same kind of clothes that maybe they wore for weeks. And down he brings them in and puts them in the hands of Dr. Crizzle down there. There's thousands of people in this church now, downtown Dallas. And I looked at those people, as poor as poor could ever be, and I looked at all the wealth in the church. And for whatever reason, I started to cry again. What in the world's going on here? You know, and so finally, Dr. Krizzle shook their hands and Rufus sat right in front of me. And I tapped Rufus on the shoulder. I said, I'd like to give these men a Bible after church. Can I do that? And he said, yeah. So I went outside over by the old YMCA, and here comes Rufus with the two men, opened up my trunk, and I had a bunch of Bibles in there now, gospel tracts, John and Romans, all that good stuff. And I gave them Bibles, and Rufus said, come with me Friday night down where I got these men from. Where did you get these men from? Union Gospel Mission, 922 Park. Well, I had just a skid row rescue mission, people sleeping on the sidewalks. people milling around and looked like they're drinking whatever. And so I said, well, I'll pray about it. I wasn't so sure. And so I prayed about it, and the Lord led me to go back down there Friday. And so I put, got New Testament in my hands, I had some gospel tracts, and I started walking toward that mission. And here comes the guys. They wanted money. Silver and gold have I none. I just quit my job. But such as I have, I give you. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, here's a gospel tract. Boy, I'll tell you what, they didn't like that. They wanted a quarter or a dollar for a cigarette or a Mad Dog 2020 bottle of wine or something. And so here I go into this mission, 100 men, 20 ladies, right off the streets of Dallas, and it was awful. Rufus is up there, come on, Brother Dave, come up here and you're gonna give your testimony. My testimony in here? You gotta be kidding. Well, anyhow, I get up there, I think my knees were knocking, and got up there, read the scriptures like I always do, gave an invitation and people were coming forward to receive Christ. And the superintendent, Mr. Sullivan, comes out and he said, Brother Dave, how'd you like to come down here every week? The first thought that came to my mind, where's the back door, I wanna get out of here. Honestly. That thought came to my mind. And I said, I'll pray about it. So I drove back up to Dallas and I, the Lord just, you know, call him back up, tell him you'll come. Well, I did that. And though I'm down there now and now I'm preaching in the services, church groups are not showing up. I'm having an opportunity to witness to all these people, give out more New Testaments and Bibles and things that I could ever get, could imagine. And so Rufus says, well, let's get a van, we'll put them all in the van, those you're leading to Christ, and we'll take them down to First Dallas, and we're gonna walk them right down the aisle there and put them in the hands of Dr. Krizzle. We're gonna do what? He said, yeah. And so we did it. And all of a sudden, people realized that when we put up a sign on the sidewalk, you know, repent or perish, but get free coffee and donuts, free to anybody, and people started coming by the droves of people. And Rufus got nervous. And we had 20 people the first Sunday come down the aisle. Dr. Krizzle, I think he cried. sat right down there and he says, you know, why don't you go down in Coleman Hall where we have our dinners at the church. We'll get the chef to do some beef stew for him and we'll feed him. You can counsel him. And by the way, here's the keys to the baptistry. You gotta be kidding me. I'm just a freshman in the original Bible college. And so that was a start. of what was going on. And so it expanded. Now I go to the youth detention center, Dallas County Youth Detention Center, preaching, witnessing, handing out more tracts, more Bibles. And eventually, in five years, we had 1,000 people we baptized. We started a ranch for them. And to reunite them with their families, hook them up with a local church, bring them to church, give them a job, all these things. But it's expanding. And some, for whatever reason, I wrote a chaplain, Cecil McKee, in Huntsville prison, down where they say they're death row. And I said, any Christian inmate in that church down there in your prison, I'll give them a free Christian study Bible. Well, they're $10, $12 a piece. I don't have a job. You know, I'm just out on faith here. Gave up my company car, everything that, you know, is gone except for the little house I had. And so anyhow, to make a long story short, the inmates started writing me, 15, 20 inmates, and I started reading the letters, and honestly, those men, I believe, were Christians. The thought crossed my mind, what are you doing behind bars? But you know, everybody's a sinner in Romans 3.23. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. None righteous and none are won. All means all. Those convicts in prison can get saved? I guess. So I'm sending now dozens of Bibles down into that prison. I had to shake hands and poke my palms up to get the funds. And one deacon, Scotty Ashley, says, brother, how many Bibles do you need? I said, I need dozens. He says, I'll just go over there and make an account. It's Crystal College and you get all the study Bibles you want. Okay? Then I had to go over to the Christian radio station, Carl Singer, KCBI, the church owned that radio station. Eventually, it became a 100,000 watt Christian radio station. And Carl Singer, I talked with him. He says, I'll put you on a program today called Today in Dallas. We'll make an appeal over the radio waves. And what I want to say, in one year, $10,000 came in. People were walking in off the sidewalks and giving me $100 bills. I said, what is this? Honestly. And so then a chaplain, I started expanding into other prisons in Texas, and went down to a prison, a Beto prison, and Albert Holmes, a chaplain, says, Pastor Dave, he says, I need 5,000 Christian books to have a Christian library for the inmates in here. And he's looking at me. And he says, these two brothers are praying for you already. I said, I'm in trouble. And so anyhow, I said, Chapman Holmes, I don't have 5,000 Christian books. I have a special theological library now that I've built up and things, and there's a lot of books in there, but not 5,000. So I said, I'll pray about it. I go back to Dallas, and I look at my little library. Well, I can give $500,000, but not $5,000. Chaplain Holmes, I said, I got $500,000. He said, I just told the chaplain over at the co-field unit, that's 4,000 inmates, that you're giving me $5,000, now he wants $5,000. I said, Chaplain Holmes, you shouldn't have done that. So I go back to the Bible college, little old freshman, little old nobody me, and I go over to Carl Singer, I said, Carl, I need thousands of Christian books and Bibles. And he looked at me and he put his hands on his stomach. He said, Brother David, he says, when we get done, you're gonna get so many books and Bibles, you're gonna ask me to stop. And I said, Carl, don't stop now. And I'm gonna fast forward this because eventually I ended up going in 50 prisons. The church hired me to be a missions pastor. I worked there 27 years. trips to African prisons, preaching in churches, preaching with missionaries, translating, down to Rio de Janeiro, down to Brazil, all over the, you know, you can imagine, Canada for 15 years, boy, that's a pagan thing. Oh my Lord. And so anyhow, I led people to Jesus up there. And so the key is giving God's Word away is what has kind of propelled, propulsed, and just catapulted this ministry beyond my wildest dreams. I had deacons from the church. There's 250 deacons in that church down there. Now they're going on prison trips with me. Now they've increased my budget. Now I've got a new title. Now we're working street people anymore, not working prisoners. and reaching into the largest prison system anywhere you can imagine. Twice as what New York is. I got the map here of all the New York State prisons. In the last month, I've called 31 prisons out of 50 and got orders for thousands of Bibles. Attica is just a thimble of what is needed for scriptures. The chaplains have no budget for Bibles. And so again, you know, here I gotta go on the radio again. I've been on WDCX, I've done all these different things for years and years and years now. I've been back in home Buffalo about 17 years. And started a non-profit ministry, you know, for the church down there. But we still do Christian book libraries with partners down there, retired police officers. We've done 15 Christian libraries in Texas prisons, now I've done five or six in New York. I've priested in six prisons in New York, Wendy, Kawanda, Collins next door, Orleans, Livingston, and out there at Auburn. And had filled in for the chaplains, we've had services out there. Hundreds of people have accepted Christ. I believe this book is the eternal Word of God, inspired, inerrant, and infallible. This book changed my life. I learned about Jesus in this book. This book has power, wonder-working power. It's fun to tell people about Jesus. You don't have to be afraid to go out and give your testimony. Ooh, it got quiet on me in there. Have you ever written out your testimony? Boy, it got quieter. I heard one little peep over there. Well, when I had to go on these prison trips and pre-shot, I had to write out my testimony so they translate it into the French when I went to Ivory Coast and Africa. And in Brazil, I'd trade Portuguese. And so what you need to do is if you want to see people saved, That was a little slow with those hands getting up there. Now God's gonna say, now what are you gonna do about it? Ooh. Well, here's a little lineup on how to do personal evangelism. This little lineup says, pray about those you want to see saved. And write their names inside the fly leaf of your Bible. Get serious about it. Then what you do is you write out your testimony. What your life was like 10% before you received Christ. What your life is 90% once you've accepted Christ. There has to be a change in your life or there's no Jesus in you. 2 Corinthians 5.17 says what? Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he's gonna change. The old is gone, the new is become. Oh, it got quiet again now, I mean. Oh, yeah. We're going to tell people about Jesus. We're going to write on our testimony. Then we're going to start to believe what God told you to do and become fishers of men, not keepers of the aquarium. I couldn't imagine that Jesus wanted Simon Peter and his fishers to become fishers of men. Well, you know, what's that? Well, just follow Jesus long enough and he's going to lead you right into a jail. You realize that Jesus was in prison? He had a cellmate. His name was Barabbas. Ooh, it got quieter even then. Had an inmate down in death row one time. They locked me in a cage, and oh my gosh, I was afraid to go in death row. And so I went down there as an inmate, and I said, well, there's a lost soul. I said, brother, I'm a prison pastor. I've got a Bible here and a gospel tract, and I said, I want to tell you about Jesus. He said, I can't relate to Jesus down here on the row. And I said, really? I said, open your Bible. You got a Bible? Oh, yeah, I got a Bible up here. Open it up to Matthew 27, verse 18. I said, let's read about who's in prison now. And it seems to me that Jesus is in prison, who you just said you can't relate to on death row. Barabbas is guilty. Jesus is totally innocent. He's the Son of God, Savior of the world. And he's gonna die on Calvary between two thieves. And you're going free. at least for a little bit until you go to hell. But we don't get really serious about witnessing or sharing. We really don't. We don't write lost people's names in our Bible. We don't send Bibles to anybody. Your Bible might be from Sunday, you put it in the trunk or the backseat, never sees daylight until the next week. Oh, it got quieter. What's that Bible doing hiding in there in my trunk? Next to the golf clubs and the fishing rods, the basketballs and the soccer balls and the hockey sticks and all that other stuff that's secular and temporary. This is life eternal that they might know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may be able to prove what is acceptable in the perfect will of God. We're not obedient to the Word of God. We just, you know, up here, but not down here. Now again, I've preached thousands of sermons of the King James Bible. The bindings have been breaking. But the Word of God isn't breaking. Isaiah chapter 40 verse 8 says what? The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God will stay in forever. You know, we don't memorize Bible verses either, do we? Here's some King James Company treasure path, and they have out King James only Bible memory books, topically. I recommend. You memorize one lifetime scripture and get it in your heart and soul that you can say it in your sleep. Or when the devil attacks you, you quote the word of God right in his face, just like Jesus did in the wilderness. Oh yeah. But we're not serious about it. If you're serious about who won the whatever game down there in Buffalo last night, you get serious. Well, some people are. 20,000 people, $100 tickets. Seems like they're getting a little serious. Buy a lot of Bibles for that, couldn't you? Put them in a prison cell. It's getting quiet. Now I, during the invitation time, I always give an invitation. Several people came up for it to give their hearts to Jesus and get saved. And then there's one, this one person comes up, Pastor Dave, I need to talk to you. And he kind of motions me over to the side so no one else could hear. A brother Dave, he says, I only want to give God half of my life. I said, brother, I said, you're getting kind of generous with God, aren't you? Now, it isn't so much what he's saying, it's what he's not saying. So, in other words, he wants to go to church on Sunday, been baptized at least once, He wants to cross on his neck, sing in a choir, do all these things in church on Sunday, but now what's he gonna do with the other half? The other half goes to his flesh and Satan on a Friday night, lights out, pornography under his pillow, dime bag of drugs in his back pocket, plans for a robbery the next day. et cetera, et cetera, running around on his wife. Dick Bowden, Motel 6, he'll leave the light on for you. But living in sin, you don't want any lights. Because that's the devil's turf in the stinking flesh. We're living for Jesus 100%. Not 50%. God doesn't want 50% of you. It's a total lie for Christ. Boy, it's getting quieter. Jesus doesn't want 90% of you. Ooh. You know, I wanted to reach more veterans and firefighters and policemen for the Lord, and so Garney Davis is the chaplain over there at Erie County Community Center over there, the medical center. And so anyhow, Garney Davis is the chief trauma chaplain. Pastor Dave, we don't have any Bibles here at the hospital. For the veterans there, those that are in trauma, for the patients, for the staff, for a hundred people in there in a beautiful church, no Bibles? He says, no Bibles. Well, at that time, I went up to Calvary Heights Baptist Church up there in Elma, King James Only Church, and I mentioned a prayer meeting. I says, you know, don't you think we could put some Bibles up there in the biggest emergency hospital in our area? And eventually, you know, Pastor Cable had a couple of people come up and talk to him for a minute, and he says, come on up here, David. the little couple would buy 100 Bibles. King James Bibles were over there at the hospital. So I went and bought the Bibles, went over there to Garney Davis. We went in there and put them out on the pews and everything, had extra over by the piano. And he turns to me, he says, I do trauma ministry with all the policemen, firemen are hurt in the line of duty in Buffalo. And he said, don't you think we could have some specific scriptures for them? And I said, good night, Garney. What are you doing laying all this on me? I need to get back in the prisons. Well, those people are in prison too. Their own bones are bars to their soul without Jesus. They're lost. Whether they're hurt, burned, firemen or policemen shot. Veterans that come back wounded. And so I went to my friend Joe Morgandy on my board of directors, and I said, Joe, I need custom Bibles, King James only, that we're gonna customly make covers and put them in that King James Bible, and we're gonna print them up, and I'm gonna take them to every fire hall, every police place, the hospital out here, and every veteran I can find. We've done this for out of 10 years or so. Do you really want to get serious about leading people to Jesus? Or are we just going to play patty cakes and candy land with God? In other words, games. God doesn't want part of you. It's all or nothing. You're not a part-time Christian. I tell you, you know, golly whiz, I didn't mean for it to get so quiet in here. With our heads bowed and eyes closed. Heads bowed and eyes closed for an invitation. Who's got the guts to say, I want to accept Jesus Christ as my Savior, I've been living a half-life for God, and it's not working? Norm D. doesn't answer your prayers. You got a short circuit, brother. Short circuit. You need a full connection with Jesus Christ to change your heart and life, give you a new life. And it's all of you just coming down this altar and giving your whole heart and life to Jesus Christ. Who here today has got the courage to come forward down here and I'll pray a special prayer with you at the altar to receive Jesus Christ totally and completely. Pastor Dave, I don't know that I'm saved. then you're not saved. You might be saved. If you would be saved, if you could be saved, you're 18 inches. The difference between your head and your heart. 18 inches. Would you come to Jesus today? Come down here and kneel at this altar. Everybody stand. Everybody standing right now. And we're gonna lead in a prayer. and we're gonna lead in a prayer. And if you feel led, you can come down here and pray at this altar. If you got the courage, you want a new heart and a new life, to be truly a born-again Christian, knowing, trusting in Jesus Christ 100%, not 50%, not 75%, not 90%, 100% Jesus Christ died, bled, went to that cross, took somebody with him on that cross. Today you'll meet me in paradise. Today! You're one heartbeat from hell if you don't know Jesus. Do you know what eternity is like? Don't die without Jesus. You think 100 years old is a big, big, long life? That's not. One pebble of sand on Malibu Beach. 100 years is nothing compared to eternity. Don't miss out on this one, brothers. Don't miss out. You miss out on Jesus, you miss out on a glory. Glory. We get serious about a lot of things, but this one thing you need to do, get serious about Jesus. That's it. Those of you up there at the altar, I want you to repeat this prayer with me all together and out loud. And say, dear Lord Jesus, Come into my heart. Save my soul. Forgive me for my sins. Jesus, you love me. You died for me. That proves you love me. Who else would die for me and take my place? Nobody but you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. I give you all of my heart. All of my mind, all of my everything is yours now, Jesus. And I'm going to serve you until I meet you face to face. And we will not be strangers then. You will know me. Did you send a Bible into Attica prison? Did you send a police testament to a policeman? And he got saved just before he got shot and killed in the streets of New York. It becomes personal, doesn't it? It is personal. It's personal to Jesus. It's personal to me. God loves you. No matter what you've done, no matter who you are, God loves you. God bless you. Anyone else? To rededicate your life to God. You're a Christian, but you need to rededicate your life to the Lord. Yeah, you're a Christian, but to rededicate, reconsecrate, and commit your life to Jesus Christ. Amen, God bless you. You're a Christian, but you need to rededicate your life to Jesus and give more of your life to Jesus. This is really serious. Don't let the devil hold you back. He can whisper in your ear and say, oh man, we'll wait till next Sunday. This might be your day. Just like that thief on the cross. Boy, he had quite a new day, didn't he? Glory land. You people that have come forward tonight, today, it's getting later all the time, that you would now rededicate and say, dear Lord Jesus, I'm rededicating my heart and my life to you. I'm a Christian, but I want to give you more of my life, Lord. Not 99.9% is all or nothing, God. You gave your all, and I'm giving my all. Doesn't mean we're gonna walk on water, but we're gonna give you our hearts, our lives, serve you, share God's word with other people that are lost. I've got a map here of all the prisons in New York. You can mail in Bibles to the prison chaplains, and I got all the names and addresses. And give God's word away. Dear God, we thank you for these that have come forward. Bless these, Lord. Keep them, Lord. Help them, Lord, to grow in grace and knowledge of you. And to get one of these little scripture memory King James Bibles, a treasure path, and start to memorize this topically. These books are like little gold pieces. If you can get a hold of them and give them out to everybody you can find. If you want to get police testaments, give them out to a policeman. I've done this, I don't know how many times. Veterans, I'm a veteran, went down to the Buffalo City Mission to the veterans wing and gave them out to the veterans at Buffalo City Mission. They were sleeping under a bridge the night before. They didn't have God's word for them. The firefighters, we got custom testaments for the, Bibles for the firefighters. I take these to the state troopers barracks out in Clarence. We need to give God's word away and the joy in your heart will never depart, I guarantee it. In Jesus' name, God bless you all.
