In 1974 one of the greatest evangelism thrusts of
all time was set in motion by World Missions Far Corners. Inserting gospel
messages in newspapers and magazines. In cooperation with AMG International the
gospel messages were sent throughout Malaysia. Two years later Project N.A.M.E.
was set up in India. During 1979 and 1980 over five hundred thousand letters
poured into our headquarters in India in response to the gospel messages. The
messages were printed in 14 major languages. For centuries believers
have tried to satisfy the spiritual hunger of millions of people by
distributing handfuls of spiritual food to isolated areas. A method grossly
inadequate for the masses in Asia. Newspaper and Magazine Evangelism
is the best means to influence men in the masses. Each newspaper becomes a
gospel tract and every newsboy or vendor becomes a gospel messenger. The
incorruptible seed of the Word of God can be carried by the newspaper into
almost every home in India at a cost far less than any other means of
evangelism. It rolls off the presses in scores of languages and enters millions
of homes and businesses daily. Our time is limited to reach the lost so it's
important that we adopt a saturation strategy. What are the advantages
of Advangelism? It can be obtained by the reader at a reasonable price. It does
not betray the reader's interest in the Gospel. It jumps over language
barriers. It is not hindered by social or racial problems. It goes where the
missionary has neither the time nor invitation to go. It enters the same home
repeatedly in the same month and it does not arouse a psychological defense.
The messages inserted in the newspapers are prayerfully put into the
words of the Holy Spirit's choosing that catch the reader's attention and
convict of sin. They convince people to write to Far Corners' Headquarters.
India's population is over 900 million, some think it is one billion! There are
179 distinct languages, 544 dialects and 14 major languages. Since our first
message inserted in 1974 over four million have responde by letter. Two simple
questions have motivated tens of thousands to respond. "Who is Jesus Christ?"
and "Why do millions call him Savior?" Thousands have enrolled in
correspondence Bible School. Project N.A.M.E. is cost-effective evangelism and
amazingly fruitful!
