Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon: Follow-up at Chinese restaurant. Mon, Apr 23, 2007.

Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon

(One drop at a time.) My journal entries about offering copies of the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and other LDS church books, mainly to immigrants in their native language, mainly in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 106 translations, the Book of Mormon (along with the Bible) is a good "Rosetta Stone" for learning English or other languages, in addition to being a missionary tool.

My goals in keeping this blog/journal are: to encourage others to offer people copies of the Book of Mormon and the Bible, to illustrate the incredible number of recent immigrants who are eager for bilingual material, to illustrate the ease of encountering them and offering them material, and to make known the wonderful deeds of the Lord (Ps 105:1, Isa 12:4) in arranging many of these encounters. I realize that the concept of offering foreign language books to strangers is just plain weird to many people, so here are some hints if you are intrigued by this and wish to try it. Respectful comments and constructive criticism are invited.

The goal of the book placement effort is to provide, in a friendly non-threatening way, gospel material to someone who is willing to receive it in their native language and English.

To the recipients of these books who read this: I thank you again for allowing me to be of service to you. I encourage you to read the material, and pray to God that He confirm the truth of it to you. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are both the Word of God. Living according to their teachings brings happiness.

Follow-up at Chinese restaurant. Mon, Apr 23, 2007.

04/23/2007. Follow-up. I had supper at a humble Chinese strip mall restaurant that I haven't been to for maybe 18 months. I had left a Chinese/English pair of copies of the Book of Mormon back then. Tonight, after finishing eating in the dining area, I went back to the counter and gave them a "Finding Happiness" DVD and a "Our Heavenly Father's Plan" DVD, both of which have Cantonese and Mandarin audio tracks.

They didn't have time to chat, so I didn't ask them if they had read the Book of Mormon or had any questions or wanted to learn more. There were pass-along cards, and lists of the local chapels in both DVD cases.

Labels: Chinese, DVD, follow up
