Pappy Daniel is a man of God from Kerala, India whom I have known since I started out in ministry back in 1987. I have been out to minister there with him in India on numerous occasions, doing many Gospel Crusades through the years. Pappy Daniel’s sincere passion for the gospel has resulted in many souls reached for Christ and his ongoing care of orphans has given hundreds of local children both a place to stay as well as a first class Christian education.
He recently read my newly written Gospel tract called “The Trial” and wrote to me today as follows:
Dear Brother John,
I have carefully read the tract, ‘The Trial’ and showed it to some other people here to see what they think about it. I was told that it will help our outreaches among the students of high schools, colleges, universities, law colleges and other institutions of higher learning if the tract is translated and printed in Malayalam language we speak here.
If you will give us an okay we shall translate and typeset the copy to make a pdf file for printing.
Would you be in a position to help us print a quantity between 10,000 and 25000? Please let us know how the Lord leads you on this. Thank you.
With love from all here,
In His abundant grace,
Pappy Daniel.
I am currently in a start up church situation here on the west side of Phoenix and this means that there is little in the way of finances to help with the printing here. Perhaps in sharing this letter, some who read of this request might feel led of the Lord to partner with Pappy Daniel to see many of “The Trial” tracts translated and printed. If so, please contact me and I will be happy to provide further details.
God bless,
John Samson
Update: Here’s an email I received from Pappy Daniel today (Monday, Feb 17):
Dear Brother John,
We have translated and typeset the copy ‘The Trial’ in Malayalam. The cover page is being attached herewith.
It is estimated that it will cost US$250 to print 10,000 copies.
The cost will be reduced to some extent for 25,000 copies – $576.20.
The tract will be three fold as the English copy.
We pray that the Lord will make it possible to complete this project.
In His mighty grace,
Pappy Daniel.
