A SPECIAL NOTE – We receive many messages in the form of Texts, Facebook Messenger Messages, phone calls, and eMails. We have received as many as 4,000 in one week! Please make an effort to use eMail and send it to DaveWinstead@msn.com. Our files already contain hundreds of thousands of messages. The only manageable means by which to organize and respond to so many messages is to use eMail. Please heed this special request and please refrain from telephone calls. When we speak on the phone I have to record many notes concerning our conversation and there just isn’t enough time in the day to do it. Another special request is that when you send messages please refrain from using all capital letters. Often the information you send is passed on to others and it requires retyping to make it look professional which requires a lot of unnecessary time & effort.
Thank you all for your tireless and faithful service to our Risen Savior!!!

| Why FaithByTheWord |
|---|
| FaithByTheWord exists to share The Love Of God thru The Word Of God throughout the world. The Word is the means by which we are able to draw closer to The Lord so we can seek his mercy, love, and grace in times of sickness, sadness, or sorrow. It is through faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that we can know we have a home in Heaven someday and share in His love, shelter, and protection while we live in this world. |
| Carrying Out The Great Commission |
|---|
| Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:18-20 Once you’ve experienced the fullness of a new life in Christ, you’ll naturally want to share it with others. There’s nothing quite so exciting as helping a friend find Christ and accept Him as Savior. As you spend time together, look for opportunities to share with them your own personal testimony about your faith in Christ and lead them to the Savior. When they respond to a salvation invitation use these resources as a guide to lead them through the process of accepting Jesus as Savior.
