RESOURCE CENTRERich in resourcesLike Australia, the Resource Centre of the AustralianUnion Conference is rich in resources. It has a veritablegold mine of evangelistic resources for church and personaloutreach. It has seminars, Bibles, Bible studies, tracts,books, CDs and DVDs for most ages. There is a noticeableincrease in church members wanting to be involved insharing the Gospel, reflected in Resource Centre sales lastyear, which increased even though Australia’s retail sectormostly experienced a decline.It is interesting that Ellen White, speaking of Noah,says he used all that he had when building the ark to savethe people. We, too, have an ark to build that will protectpeople from the fire that willconsume those who reject God’s love and salvation, whichis the robe of Christ’s righteousness through the infillingof the Holy Spirit. Are we willing to be like Noah and usewhat God has given us to save people at the end of earth’shistory?Almost every day there are opportunities to share withsomeone information about truths of salvation throughthe spoken or written word. May God bless you as youprayerfully seek to impart knowledge of the soon-comingSaviour and the eternal kingdom He will establish.GLOW TractsWith the recent printing of over one million tracts by theAustralian Union Conference, there has been a renewal ofinterest in using tracts for spreading the truths of the Bible toa society that has all but been brainwashed into believing theerrors of either church tradition, Pentecostalism, the New Agemovement or secularism.Bible truths have been buried under a mountain of error thathas been reinforced by television, movies and books. Many arecompletely ignorant regarding who is behind the errors thatthey have embraced and the potential consequences for theireternal future. All spiritual roads lead to eternal life is a popularmyth. The great controversy between good and evil is notunderstood and, likewise, what it means to be saved.Tracts have the ability to sow seeds of truth that the HolySpirit will water and bring to a harvest in the person’s life, ifthey are willing. All we have to do is to be proactive and lookfor opportunities, corporately and individually, to share themwith others.Recently the GLOW (Giving Light To Our World) ministry inAmerica shared this story: “At the last youth congress, therewas a young man who came to our GLOW booth and sharedhis burden to reach one of his classmates in university. He tooksome of our tracts, went back and that night visited him. Theyhad a great spiritual conversation. After the talk, he emailedus expressing that he was happy that he could share with hisfriend more about God and give him the tracts. He asked usto pray that God would do something in him. As our team waslooking at his email there was another email arriving—his friendhad filled out the request form on our website and signed upfor a Bible study. Praise the Lord!”Stop PressWithin a six-week period of a special offerby the Australian Union Conference, one millionGLOW (Giving Light To Our World) tracts weresold.Both churches and individuals have purchasedlarge numbers of tracts to share with people intheir communities. Orders have come in fromevery state and territory.Pray that the Holy Spirit can use every tract toreach people with the knowledge of God’s love,salvation and soon-coming kingdom.Contemporary Church ImagesThe Resource Centre at the Australian Union Conferencehas recently paid to license the reproductionof the 25 volumes of the Oxygen Church Images seriesfor Australia, reducing the price for Conferences,churches and pastors from $A1250 per set to $A125.This huge reduction now makes the image set veryaffordable.
