| An Open Letter from John Cunyus, Director of The Latin Testament Project A big part of my ministry is giving away copies of the Latin Testament Project's books. Giving books away is like planting a seed. I don’t know when the seed will sprout, or even if it will. The Gospel of Mark’s fourth chapter tells me three seeds in four won’t bear any fruit to speak of. Why do it then? Because the fourth seed changes the world! A Typical Week The week of April 10-17 was fairly typical, as far as this ministry goes. I gave a copy of Mark to a father with a teenager and three young children, at McDonalds. I gave one to a woman in the surgery waiting room at Baylor Hospital in downtown Dallas. I sent one by mail to an organization that does outreach to troubled teens in Irving, Texas. I sent another to a woman running a children’s ministry in Richmond, Virginia. I gave two to pastors of congregations in South Dallas. I always ask permission of those I give books to in public places. I don’t force anything on anyone. Folks don’t often turn me down. I sow the seed of the word, in as straightforward a way as I can. I trust Jesus will speak for Himself, as He always has. I don’t know which seed will bear fruit. I leave the seed’s growth in God’s hands. That’s His business. My job is sowing the seed on the most fertile soil I can find. I know this for sure: 100% of the seed I don’t sow bears no fruit. Here’s my vision for these books. When I give this book to a stranger, I suspect, even if I never see them again, that they won’t throw it away. Folks respect what they are, even if they aren't believers. I know also that someday life will bite them. When it does, this book will be in their life. They may even pick it up and read it. And when they do, because of Whose story it is, it is going to make a difference in their lives. A $20 donation provides me a book to give away. I can't promise you a tax deduction. I can promise someone, somewhere, will have this book in their hand. Sincerely, John Cunyus For a full statement of income and expenses related to this, please contact John Cunyus. |
