Page 1 - Discovering the Source of Living Water

June 2018

An Amazing Fact: Flowing 4,160 miles, the longest
river in the world is the Nile. Its waters originate
with Lake Victoria in Uganda, moving northward
until they terminate in Egypt at the Mediterranean
Sea. On average, the river moves at an astounding
680,000 gallons per second; that’s over 10 million cups
of thirst-quenching water every second!

[Warning! This letter could make you thirsty.]

Dear friend,

Did you know that the Nile flows through two thousand miles of scorching desert—yet
everything around the river is green? One of my favorite Bible verses says, “Everything will
live wherever the river goes” (Ezekiel 47:9).

And through your gifts to Amazing Facts, you send a river of
Living Water to millions thirsting for truth every month. I recently
stood with Karen at the headwaters of the Nile in the heart of Africa.
We were conducting evangelistic meetings in Uganda—an outreach
you made possible—and we saw thousands drinking in the Bible
truth!

You and I know that Jesus is the “fountain of living waters”
(Jeremiah 2:13), but untold millions have never received Him. But
through God’s grace, you’re making the lifesaving truths of Scripture
available to the thirsty world—to people like Victor …
Drinking Polluted Waters

Victor’s young parents first tried to abort him—then when he was just two years old,
they abandoned him. He never experienced the genuine love of a mother or father, and his
early life was heartrending.

As a young adult, Victor studied different religions hoping to find purpose and
belonging. He studied with Mormons, Evangelicals, Catholics, and even Muslims. Then
one day, he ran across the works of Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan. He
even read the so-called Satanic Bible.
