1st Quarter 2024
Dear friend,
Scripture urges us, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2). That’s why I’m grateful for the gifts you’ve shared as you team with Jesus and Amazing Facts to help others discover His transforming power.
Your gifts help bring total transformation to so many precious souls—such as Brittany, whose story I’m delighted to share with you, along with stories of thousands more worldwide who are finding new lives because of your caring heart.
With deep gratitude,
Doug Batchelor
President, Amazing Facts International
A Whole New Life
Growing up, Brittany spent most Sundays in
church but never really connected with God. After high school, she joined the
army. She married an atheist, had a baby at age 19, and soon became restless in
her marriage. After an affair and a second failed marriage, Brittany was
devastated.
She writes, “I didn’t think God would
forgive me for all I had done. I thought God was mean and critical. I didn’t
think I could go to Him until I got my life together.”
During this dark time, a popular local preacher
caught Brittany’s attention. Not long after, she gave her life to Christ. The
Lord helped her give up several addictions, and she began to grow in her
Christian walk.
Though God used that church to lead her
back to Jesus, Brittany soon noticed doctrinal compromise. Hungry for truth,
she attended churches of various denominations, yet none seemed right.
Learning Online
As she searched, Brittany watched sermons
online, including—thanks to your generosity—some by Doug Batchelor. He seemed
rather peculiar, attending church on Saturday and eating a strange diet. Yet he
was never harsh, even when he spoke the truth directly. She also loved his
testimony. "If God can transform him, He can surely transform me too," she thought.
Then one morning, she found a four-part
documentary called The Days of Noah. Within the first few minutes, she
saw Pastor Doug’s face on the screen. "Oh, good-a preacher I trust," she
thought.
After watching the documentary, Brittany
realized God had been preparing her to receive the Sabbath message for years.
The words “Come out of her, my people” from Revelation 14 resonated deeply
within her. She’d experienced that calling, having left churches in search of one
that matched the Bible. “I knew without a doubt that God was leading me,” she
writes.
Finding a Mission
Before long, Brittany began attending a
Sabbath-keeping congregation and was baptized. She writes, “I realize God
created me to proclaim the three angels’ messages and be a part of a peculiar
people who keep the commandments of God. Jesus truly does give you a whole new
life! I’m so grateful.”
Today, Amazing Facts and you continue to
play a role in Brittany’s Christian walk. Thank you for enabling the
hope-filled, Bible-based ministry of Amazing Facts with your prayers and
generosity.
