This book
brings a refreshing and joyful reminder that God is alive and active in our world
today. In a society saturated with depressingly bad news the story of Every
Home for Christ is indeed good news.
The ministry
of Every Home for Christ began in Canada in 1946 with a goal of
reaching every home with Gospel booklets to bring the good news of Christ to every
person in the world. International President, Dick Eastman, constantly travels
the globe, often with his wife Dee, to see for himself the work and verify its
results. This uniquely qualifies him to write this book with accurate and up to
date knowledge.
Individual
stories of transformed lives are told in their local settings with colourful
background information. Local stories in turn reveal the bigger picture of God’s
work in communities and nations.
Every Home
for Christ works in partnership with local believers empowering them to reach
their own communities and local churches absorb the new believers. In many
places Christ Groups are formed to give essential follow-up and discipleship
training. Thousands of individuals, many
of them volunteers, are involved in the work every day with an impressive
organisation supporting them. EHC is adaptable to local conditions as seen in
one community of tree-dwellers where the name became Every Tree for Christ.
Campaigns
have been conducted in 198 nations, with complete coverage to date in 101
nations. Eastman confirms that the work is a Spiritual battle, and prayer
coverage is vital for the protection of the workers and the advance of the
Gospel.
Eastman
also confronts theological questions that people may have e.g. being commanded
that we should take the Good News to everybody
everywhere, but we must also obey the authorities and some Governments
expressly forbid evangelism. Godly wisdom is needed in many situations, and EHC
workers must be sensitive to local conditions and laws.
I found the
book thrilling and very easy to read. It was exciting to be reminded of God’s
activity and his hand on individuals and nations today.
Thank God
that his work is being done by joyful, dedicated Christ-followers, bringing
more people into his kingdom by the minute.
