  Have you
  been praying
  about
  the will
  of
  God
  in your
  ministry,
  how
  you can reach more
  people? There
  is an ocean full of people out there if you will just reach them. They remind
  me of a
  school
  of
  hu ngry
  fish.
  Paul said that
  he would
  "by
  all
  means save some."
  He would
  use every
  means available
  if
  he were
  here.
  Pa ut
  even went
  from
  house to
  house for
  two
  years warning
  everyone with
  tears.
  You can now be our representative.
  You can get a video cassette recorder,
  which
  you can plug
  in the
  back of
  your
  television
  set. You
  can play
  these cassettes there
  in your
  own
  home.
  Your
  neighbors
  and children
  can see and hear church
  services, teaching,
  preaching,
  Singing, and object
  lessons. The whole Charismatic
  Commentary
  on the Book of Acts can be on cassettes.
  You
  can
  record
  any
  church
  program
  from
  your
  television.
  You
  can play
  that
  particular
  cassette at your co nvenience hu ndreds of times.
  You may call your
  neighbors
  in once
