Many of you are familiar with Bible.ca, the web site I that work on together with Steve Rudd of Hamilton Ontario. It is truly amazing to me that we are receiving approximately 6 million hits per month. In March of this year we had approximately one half million different people visit the site. But even more thrilling are the accounts of actual conversions that are occurring around the world as a result. There is no way that we could know of all the results, but we do know of at least 63 baptisms that have been a direct result of the web site. I would like to share with you a few of the many letters we receive regularly.
“Just recently a man visited a Sunday morning service (via bible.ca) and agreed to a Bible study on Monday. He came, much to my surprise, in a white t-shirt, white shorts, white socks, and white sneakers, ready to be baptized.”
“I just had lunch and a Bible study with a Catholic who stumbled across the site. He found my name here at Auburn U., and contacted me. He is now an ex-Catholic. Continue the good work.”
“About 5 years ago I was a Baptist and one of my co-workers from Virginia was a Christian. He engaged me in discussion on Calvinism and sent me to the TULIP area on your site. I studied on my own and eventually converted. I am now preaching in Newark OH and am one of the Email helpers for bible.ca.”
“When I came across your page entitled “Find Christian Assembly near you,” I’ve managed to obtain the E-mail of the preacher of the Church in Toronto Ontario, David Dann. I was baptized and added to the church.” (a nineteen year old recent immigrant from the former Soviet Republic of Georgia) “Today Paul Saunders was baptized into Christ. Thanks Steve for your website (Bible.ca) where Paul found out about us and thanks to those of you who helped to teach Paul the truth. Most importantly, thanks be to God in Heaven for giving the increase. All heaven is rejoicing. ….Good news again. Tonight Paul’s wife, Anne Saunders, was baptized.”
“I received a phone call from Martin Eagle who had found our contact information off your website. He said: I would like to be baptized as soon as possible.”
I just wanted you to know that today a couple were baptized into Christ today, and God used your website to bring them into contact with us, via Graeme Offer. The wife had previously been with the SDAs and lately the JWs, so there’s plenty of teaching still to be done, but they show the fruit of open and honest hearts. (Melbourne, Australia)
Great news! Last night at 10 PM …. made the good confession and was baptized into Christ for the remission of sins. Nick found us through Steve Rudd's web site. He is our "Philippian jailor" since he is in charge of the jail here in our county.
My husband, I and one of our daughters just recently have left the Baptist church and joined Christ's true church (1017 SW 84th Street, Oklahoma City). I wanted to write and tell you thank you for your website. It has helped us a lot when looking for certain scripture passages, and when we thought we might be the only people reading the Bible for what it is, we came across your site to help confirm our new beliefs we'd found in God's word. Now I use your studies to help me when sorting out which passages to help lead others the same way. Thank you for all the time you've put into the site.
“I’m not sure if you are Steve or if he is the person responsible for this site, but whoever you are thank you. I found your site maybe close to two years ago and after studying on it for several months I clicked on the Assembly location and visited the “South Jacksonville Church of Christ” (Florida). After a few months of studying with them I obeyed the Gospel as did my wife. The congregation has just recently started to support me as a full time preacher. Two weeks ago a young man called us having found us on your web site too. The next week he obeyed the Gospel and I baptized him (my first baptism). I just wanted you to know how much your site has done for me and I continue to rely on it. I hope you are able to continue this work.”
