Tom Bear’s Prayer, Vision and Invitation to Help Equip God’s People It is my prayer that God will sharpen the gospel message in the mouths of His people across the earth. My
heart is heavy because the gospel message being presented these days is too often anemic and watered down. I believe that
while many Christians have good intentions to proclaim the gospel, most have not been taught what the Bible has to say about
this all important subject. As a result, methods are employed and words spoken that dull the effect of the gospel. This is
exactly what our enemy desires. Many years ago, I began going door to door in an attempt to make the gospel known. Like millions
of other Christians, I had good intentions but lacked experience doing it. In hind sight, I am glad that I launched out regardless
of my lack of experience. I would rather more Christians do so lacking experience than wait until they are “better equipped.”
Yet, experience has taught me some very important biblical principles that were not clear to me before I started. I have tried
to document these principles in my book, Bringing Back the Gospel. I believe that if more Christians began to see
the biblical pattern and message that Jesus and the Apostles preached, the gospel would spread like wild fire across the earth
speeding Jesus’ return. Let me be frank with you. I want Christians to understand the biblical
principles of evangelism. In my desire to see this happen, I would like to give of my resources as much as God enables me
to do so in order to see this accomplished. I am not interested in being reimbursed by people because my reward is to see
Christ exalted in the clear proclamation of His gospel and the establishment of independent local churches that result from
it. As God provides resources, I will gladly give them away to see this accomplished. I just want to be used by Him to equip
His people while proclaiming the good news of Jesus far and wide. Therefore, I make the following invitation: -If you are an individual Christian and truly wish to read my book in order to be better equipped to do the
work of evangelism, but you lack financial resources to “purchase a copy,” send me an email stating your desire
to read it along with the following information: Your Name, address, telephone number, name of your church and pastor. Email
TomBear@StonesCryOut.info -If you are a
church leader and would like me to provide instruction to people in your congregation and/or hands on training, send me an
email with your contact information, church name, and web site if there is one. Also, please review our statement of faith
and other information on this web site so that you know what we believe before requesting a visit. I expect no financial gift
or reimbursement because I believe God will provide somehow through whatever means He desires. If your church is a long distance
from Dearborn, Michigan, we will begin asking Him to provide the necessary travel expense. The arrival of that provision will
dictate the timing of my visit. But God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and is able to bring about His purposes. He has
shown Himself faithful to provide for this ministry in accordance with the level of need from month to month so don’t
hesitate to make your request known to us. Please believe me when I say, I do not care about the money. I only care that the
gospel goes forth and that it shines increasingly brighter. Email TomBear@StonesCryOut.info
