Looking for a miracle?

 

Special outreach initiative

Hundreds turn to God 

Every home in a Cheshire town was touched by the gospel in a recent innovative outreach campaign. A dedicated group of 7 people from Worldwide Ministries visited every single home in Nantwich in a single day.

Then they did it again.. and again.. and again.. ! Ten thousand doors were visited each week for four weeks. The task was carried out on foot each Saturday and on the first three visits a mystery message was posted through each door.

At the same time an intriguing sight appeared in the town. A huge trailer was driven around the town each Saturday. Each week the poster on the trailer was different from the week before. First appearance was just a picture of a red moon. Over the next few weekends words began to appear until on the 4th weekend the whole message was displayed:

 ' Looking for a Miracle?   2 Pork Chops '

Looking for a Miracle? What did it mean? And what was all that about pork chops?

People were mystified. Many stopped what they were doing and just stood and stared. No one could ignore it. This really was something you simply could not miss.

What did it all mean? They asked the man who drove the trailer around all day. But he was just as much in the dark as they were.

They found the answer on the fourth Saturday. That day the seven faithful workers again visited the town's 10,000 homes.

This time they didn't leave a mysterious message but delivered to every home a sealed envelope containing the solution to the riddle. Inside each envelope was a free copy of the best selling book ' 2 Pork Chops ' by John Masters plus a letter explaining what the campaign was all about and inviting people to contact Worldwide Ministries to find out more about God.

It had been a month of hard work, but the footsore folk who delivered the mail knew it was all worth while when they saw the phenomenal results of their labours.

There was a huge response to the message. John Masters reported time and again as he walked through the streets of Nantwich people walked up to him and told him that miracles had happened in their lives as a result of reading the book.

For many months the campaign remained a major talking point in the town and people still speak to John or call out to him in the street telling him how much they enjoyed the book and asking about future events.
