THE HIGH COST OFഀ
ഀ
October 2017ഀ
An Amazing Fact: Joseph Stalin, feared dictator of theഀ
Soviet Union, never seemed to care for his eldest son,ഀ
Yakov. While serving in the Red Army during Worldഀ
War II, Yakov was captured by the Germans. Stalinഀ
accused his son of surrendering like a coward and refusedഀ
all offers to negotiate for Yakov’s release. Stalin allegedlyഀ
said he would not trade a German field marshal for anഀ
“ordinary” soldier. Yakov later died in a POW camp.ഀ
Dear friend,ഀ
ഀ
     It is hard to imagine a father being so coldhearted that he would not be moved toഀ
ransom a captured child. But sadly, many professed Christians today care little aboutഀ
giving to redeem the millions of lost souls held hostage by Satan. They have beenഀ
kidnapped by the devil’s lies and are waiting to be saved from his dungeons of darkness.ഀ
ഀ
     That’s why I’m so grateful to you—because every day your gifts funding the workഀ
of Amazing Facts are releasing people held fast by the evil one. Your support leadsഀ
these captives into the arms of Christ, the One who paid a high cost for our redemption.ഀ
Captives like Cyril, an engineer living in Nigeria …ഀ
Searching for Solid Groundഀ
ഀ
     Cyril grew up attending a large Pentecostal church every Sunday. As a young boy,ഀ
he felt confident that he knew God’s truth. But after several years, he started to questionഀ
his faith. He says, “I began to feel a deep emptiness.”ഀ
ഀ
     That’s how people feel when the devil hides the true gospel from them. And that’sഀ
why Amazing Facts boldly preaches the foundational teachings of Scripture—somethingഀ
I’m planning to do this November. We want to connect the missing links in the chain ofഀ
truth so people can understand God’s Word and experience His salvation.ഀ
ഀ
     Hungering for answers, Cyril regularly attended prayer meetings and other churchഀ
programs. Still, he knew that something was missing. “It all felt shallow,” he explains.ഀ
ഀ
     But the Lord knew Cyril was searching for present truth, and He brought it to him—ഀ
through your gifts—in the form of an Amazing Facts prophecy DVD. But I’m gettingഀ
ahead of myself!ഀ
