From eleven until three o’clock, we parked our motor home and set up a display table in the parking lot of a K-Mart store. We were not allowed to approach people with the gift offer, but the Lord brought two people to us:

  • A man drove up to the table to find out about us. He said that one of his favorite verses was Philippians 3:10: “To know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,” so two volunteers shared with him this verse’s footnote in the Recovery Version. He really wanted someone to pray with him to rededicate his life to Christ. We also prayed with him regarding a difficult situation he is passing through in his home life. He took a Bible and six additional gift offer brochures for his wife and children.
  • A Spanish-speaking woman walked up to the table and said that she wanted a King James Version in Spanish. We told her that we only have the Recovery Version and showed her a Spanish one. She read John 6:18-21 aloud and after reading a few footnotes, she raised her hand and said, “Glory to God!” She received a Recovery Version and repeatedly blessed our work and us, praising the Lord.
