The Pocket Testament League, founded in England in 1893 and launched in America lin 1908, is a non-denominational ministry dedi– cated to extension of the Christiian faith through free distribUltion of the Scripture coupled with mass evangel- • 1sm. During the past 60 year , PTL missionaries have given out more than 30 million Gospels of John in over 100 countries, printed in the language of each particular area. Their present goal is the distribution of 5 million Scriptures per year. Mr. J. Edward Smith, tthe League's In ternational Director, stated recently that the ob jective of distributing one million G ospels in France has been surpassed; th at Scriptures in nine dif– ferent languages had been given rto African miners; that, even in Soviet Russia. some 82,000 Gospels of John have been distributed to people hungry for God's love. In Florida, Spanish- 1anguage Gospels have been given to all refugees arriving from communist Cuba and to thousands of migrant farm workers from Puerto Rico and Mexico." 12 DECEMBER, 1968 nig1, t at til l' ll)Sl' (lt th ~ S 'l'\' lCC ., I ·,, l'~l" l,1'-'' s t~,, t'll l, ,,c" Ill 1,a,·~ 11cr– " l, na I c , t 1 n,r 111 r, g (1 n • r n i 11 g t h c i r 111 ()\1lt't11s , 11d "" l1t l1a i 11 t corn' (lt1r– i 1g the n1cct1ng. •• 11 the f1n,,l , tin la n1orning at a c 111\1111t' ti t1ncla ch J f all tit:11,,rt111cnl t1 111 Jt1nt r 1-ligh through ,\lit1lt...,.
