No Hope to New Life

 

AnAmazing Fact:The Eastman Kodak Company was a giant in the photography industry in the 20thcentury. However, when its engineers developed the first digital camera, Kodakexecutives ignored it and kept focusing on film. But in failing to embrace thenew tech, the company fell behind—and was forced to file for bankruptcy in2012.

 

Whenher husband suddenly passed, Gail tried to end her life. But by God’s grace, shesurvived—and then He used you to give her a hope-filled future!

 

Itbreaks my heart that so many people out there feel so hopeless that they are thinkingabout ending it all. Just last year, 1.6 million attempted suicide in the USA—sadly,more than 50,000 succeeded.

 

It’sno surprise that such despair is on the rise. Many of these troubled hearts areturning to Google to find answers and meaning in this sin-sick world. Over99,000 searches are made every second worldwide—that’s 8.5 billion per day.

 

Thebad news is that Satan has a slew of evil responses waiting for them. Millionsof toxic websites dump garbage into seeking minds, luring people with cheappromises and glittering lies that lead to death.

 

The good news is that we can share real hope thatleads to eternal life. We must bring precious Bible messages to the forefrontthrough truth-filled websites and draw people to lasting solutions found onlyin Jesus Christ.

 

Infact, God used you to reach Gail on the internet. Your gifts brought her a life-changingmessage that led her to search for more truth on amazingfacts.org! Let me tellyou more …

 

She Was Losing AllHope

Gailand her husband were best friends. For 21 years, they did everything together. Butthat changed when he died from cancer due to Agent Orange exposure from histime in Vietnam.

 

Gailwas devastated. If you’ve ever lost someone close, you know what that’s like. Well,one day, she took a trip to a small coastal town, a place with many happymemories with her beloved. “I just wanted to be with my husband,” Gail explains.That’s when she tried to end her life.

 

Manylike Gail are struggling right now with crushing despair. Even Bible heroes experiencedit. Elijah was running from Jezebel’s assassins when he “prayed that hemight die, and said, ‘It is enough! Now, Lord,take my life’” (1 Kings 19:4).

 

ButGod wants to give light to those in darkness. “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart” (Psalm 34:18).

 

She Found Truth on aCheap Laptop

Oneday, Gail was flipping through TV channels when she found an Amazing Facts program.She was encouraged by what she heard. A glimmer of hope sparked in her heart—exceptshe disagreed with what I said about the Sabbath.

 

Gailshares, “I thought you were wrong, so I took the last of my money and bought aBible and a cheap laptop. After discovering that you were speaking the truth, Ilooked up the Amazing Facts website and started watching your prophecy seminars.Then I started your Bible lessons.”

 

Ourwebsite provided a rich portal of resources that utterly changed Gail’s heart fromhopeless to hope-filled!

 

Icannot overemphasize how vital amazingfacts.org is in helping seekers find hope-givingtruth! It is a doorway to thousands of free books, videos, blogs, Biblestudies, and radio programs. But all these resources are possible onlybecause your loving heart wants to be there for lost souls grasping for anylight they can before total despair robs them of an abundant life!

 

Ensuring God’sMessage Goes Forth Powerfully

Satanis robbing people of the knowledge of truth online. But you can handcuff him bydelivering foundational truth instead.

 

AmazingFacts’ websites have a tremendous amount of truth-filled content and are a keyentry point for last-day seekers to find and be transformed by the threeangels’ messages. Nearly 8 million people visit our websites each year—that’sone seeker every 3.5 seconds! Like Gail, some come to explore after seeinga video on social media or TV; others type their deepest Bible question intoGoogle and get a carefully placed link to our site—finding a video, book, or StudyGuide at just the right time.

 

However, it’s been six years since we redesigned our mainwebsite. And,frankly, it’s starting to show. We’re losing valuable traffic at a time when wemust expand the gospel work. We must act now.

 

Asseismic changes occur in our society, we must improve the functionality,technology, and appearance of amazingfacts.org so that it’s easier fordesperate people like Gail to find the resources and topics they are lookingfor when they are looking for them—whether it’s the Bible truth aboutthe Sabbath, the afterlife, prophecy, healthier living, or whatever God is convictingthem to learn about.

 

That’s why we’ve already begun working with a top-notchwebsite development company to overhaul amazingfact.org. It will be more than a facelift—itwill revolutionize how we deliver the gospel to billions at this late hour inEarth’s history. This will cost nearly $400,000, but this investment will lastfor years!

 

Weplan to simplify website navigation; enhance search results by transcribing allour videos; improve our infrastructure so that Google and other search engineswill recommend our truth-filled resources more prominently; and build a websitethat can rapidly translate new, lifesaving messages into many more languages.
