But unbeknown to me, our kind Father had another plan. He had me to publish the NSL preachers myself, and
instead of the book fading away after a few years like most books do, God made it to work out just the opposite to that.
I’ve also written other books entitled The Agony and The Ecstasy, Two Months Yo Live {telling how over 40 people were
cured of cancer after their doctors gave them up to die}, Seven Secrets of Family Happiness, Secret Sin of Foolish
Virgins, and a few others including the Henry Potter book to help lead young people away from the devil to the lovely
Jesus. I don’t mention these other books much because [though the subjects in them are important] I don’t want them to
take the place of the one little “preacher” which has the power to help the masses receive the seal of God instead of the
mark of the beast. The NSL preacher is now on CD for people to listen to - as you’ll see in the little form at the end of

still give my whole 15 part CCA video series free {which exposes the shocking Roman Catholic attack against God’s

Does God ever start things “small?” “Who hath despised the day of small things?” Zech. 4:10. That way, God gets

Another thing is that if God is in something, the doors will open - even while the devil is fighting it, and it will take
off and fly like a dove. If God is not in it, the doors will close, or, if the person is ungodly, the devil may “bless” it until it
is destroyed by fire - like when Hitler and his friends tried to take over the world.
Charity: Then what happened?
Pastor Jan: From May until December of that first year, 800 of those first thousand went out just by word-of-mouth.
The next year 8000 went out. The next year 80,000 went out. God was multiplying them 10 times each year. The next
year it was up to a third of a million. The next year, three fourths of a million. Now for the past eight years or so, King
Jesus has been pushing about 2 million of them out each year until there are now 29.8 million in print in 58 languages
around the world. Our kind Father gets all the credit and praise.
From the beginning, I decided that not one penny from the books would go to me, but that every bit of it would go
into God’s work to reach more souls. I thought that if I do it this way, then God can bless more, and more people can be
reached with God’s message, which means eternal life to them. Remember that those who live for money now will die
with their money. Those who live for ease and pleasure will end up with the mark the beast. Those who live for Christ
will live forever.
Pastors, teachers, Bible workers, colporteurs, church members, and godly conference officials have been inspired by
our kind Father to get millions of the NSL preachers to hand to people, put on doorsteps, benches, phone booths, under
car door handles on the driver’s side in shopping center parking lots, under public toilet seats, under gas pumps, on
sidewalks in great malls, in front of bookstores, Wal-Marts, Kmarts,

“The popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, filled with anger as their authority is questioned, will denounce
the message as of Satan, and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute those who proclaim it.” GC 607.
“God has in reserve a firmament of chosen ones that will yet shine forth amidst the darkness, revealing clearly to
an apostate world the transforming power of obedience to His law. When Satan’s supreme effort is made to cause ‘all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,’ to receive, under penalty of death, the sign of allegiance to a false
rest day, these faithful ones, ‘blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke,’ will ‘shine as lights in the
world.’” PK 188,189. Praise God friend. Praise God!
