ROCK Resources
Last month was blessed as a dozen of ROCK’s multi-language in-production media tools moved closer to their finish lines and as God multiplied the impact of gospel-media among the nations. But here’s a story of God’s work of multiplication right here in Greenville where ROCK’s home office is located. Yesterday a local ministry leader serving the business community sent this report about WHAT IF JESUS MEANT WHAT HE SAID?:

Nate gave me the book at a seminar a couple of years back. After reading it, I told a colleague about it. He and I went through it together. Little did we know then how much this book would begin a refining process in us that continues to this very day. We both were so “wrecked” by the book, that we eventually decided to use it as a guide for discussion in five businessmen discipleship groups, and in several one-to-one relationships. In February, the Foundation hosted a half-day retreat with about 30 guys from these various groups. Nate came to speak. It was an encouraging and challenging time in the Lord. Over the past year, several of the guys in the groups have multiplied the impact by leading other individuals and groups through the book, including 13 young married couples, 20 students/interns, a men’s group, a group of ex-militaries, and a young singles group. Some have purchased entire cases to give out. One gave them as Christmas presents. My daughter has passed the book out to many university students. These are some of the ripple effects. We are blown away watching God multiply the Kingdom-impact of His WORD through this book! Our lives will never be the same.

Also yesterday – we received this note from a ROCK-connected worker in Niger: Just a little update on the KING of GLORY in Zarma. A 26-year-old convert in our church just finished reading it. He was so encouraged. He isn’t super-educated but has been reading his Zarma Bible a lot. It is cool to hear his excited and fresh perspectives from God’s Word. Also, an expat worker is encouraged by this book and wants to distribute it in a hurting region where they are doing a food distribution, providing rice for 600 families over three months. At the end, they want to present them KING of GLORY picture books. We will probably do the printing for them.
