Until The Whole World Hears...
Don Sunshine Ministries has been privileged to touch tens of thousands of lives and see thousands come to faith in Jesus Christ through our teaching people how to share their faith in Christ every day...without fear, embarrassment, or hesitation.
Jesus commanded His followers down through the ages to “Make disciples of all nations”. So let me ask you a question, “How are you doing with that?” If Jesus commanded us to make disciples and if you are not sharing your faith and beginning the discipleship process, do you really believe that one day you’ll hear Him say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant?” As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to be His full time Ambassadors representing Him to the lost people in our lives. Yet for some reason, most professing followers of Christ never share their faith in Christ with anyone!
The "Make a Difference” or "M.A.D. Live Event" is either a 3 or 4-hour event that is presented “Live” in churches. We usually do these on a Saturday or a Sunday. Don has taught this over 800 times in 38 states and Canada, equipping over 44,000 people. God has blessed us to see over 1,700 give their lives to Christ at the Live Events. All praise, honor, and glory be to God! We’d love to come to your church to help equip the believers to begin sharing their faith in obedience….without fear or embarrassment. Putting the teaching into practice will transform your Christian life into the great adventure that God intended for each of us to experience!
Today, after my chiropractic adjustment by my niece, Cathy and I stopped for lunch at Culver's in Alcoa, Tennessee.
As I waited for our meal, two different veterans and their wives came into the restaurant. The first was a retired Air Force veteran. I walked over, thanked him for his service, and gave him one of my Veteran Gospel cards. He told me he had served in the Air Force for 23 years and then worked as a prison guard for another 20 years. He thanked me for the card, and I returned to our table. I watched as he read the Gospel presentation that was on the back of the card.
A little later, a retired Marine and his wife came in. He was wearing a "Devil Dog" Marine Corps hat. I walked over, thanked him for his service, and gave him one of my Veteran Gospel cards.
As I ate my meal, the Holy Spirit kept prompting me to go back and pray for them. So I got up and walked over to the Air Force veteran and his wife. I explained that the Lord kept impressing on my heart that I needed to come over and pray for them, and I asked if there was anything specific I could pray about.
To my surprise, they enthusiastically invited me to sit down with them. The husband and wife each took one of my hands, and together we formed a circle around the table. They shared their prayer request, and I prayed with them. When I finished, they thanked me over and over again.
Then I walked over to the Marine and his wife and did the same thing. They, too, welcomed the prayer.
What an incredible reminder that God is constantly arranging divine appointments for those who are willing to listen and obey His voice. My prayer is that, if these two veterans and their wives do not yet know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, God will use those divine appointments—and the Gospel cards they received—to draw them to Himself and grant them eternal life.
Never underestimate what God can do through one simple act of obedience.
Today we were greatly blessed to partner with The Light FM for our first-ever summer Make a Difference (M.A.D.) Live Event # 844. Historically, we have held two M.A.D. Live Events each January for The Light FM listeners, presenting our 4-hour training.
This year, we decided to introduce a new 3-hour format to see how it would be received and what kind of attendance it would generate during the summer. We were encouraged to reach 240 registrations, with 165 attending the event. We can’t thank God enough for the privilege of this partnership and the lives that are being changed by it.
While we normally provide lunch during our longer events. This time, we took a break halfway through and offered a wide variety of snacks and beverages instead. As always, Johnny on the Spot Heating and Cooling generously covered the cost of all the refreshments. They have faithfully supported these events with The Light FM for years, and we are deeply grateful for their continued generosity.
We also want to express our sincere appreciation to Pastor Josh and the wonderful people at Chestnut Ridge Church for graciously hosting the event. Their warm hospitality helped make the day a tremendous success.
The attendees were wonderful, and I received many comments about how deeply the training impacted them. As we reviewed the evaluation forms, we were thrilled to discover that three people surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ in repentance and faith! There is truly great rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God today!
We praise God for everyone who attended and pray that He will use what they learned to help them make an eternal difference by faithfully sharing the Gospel with others. Thank you for your prayers and support. God is continuing to open doors for the Gospel, and we are grateful to have you partnering with us in this ministry.
