NOTE: Yes, this is a “different” quarterly newsletter this time. There are a variety of materials and websites that we use and we want to take this quarterly opportunity to inform you about them. Some of them you are probably familiar with but some maybe not. In this closing 11th hour of history we believe it is vital to not only personally tell others about our Lord but to also have various pieces of literature you can hand out – mail out – or even just “leave” at various locations. Please check what is below carefully and prayerfully and let the Holy Spirit guide you accordingly ……. Our next quarterly will return to its usual form and will feature a main article of – The Small Stuff In Marriage. Thank you!

** More Websites For You
As previously stated we will continue with each newsletter to send you more websites for your perusal. We suggest you log onto each one, view its contents and save those that you want – that have value for you – as well as to forward to those you sense would like to know about one or more of these websites. Many of them will usually be Christian websites but on occasion they may be, as the term goes – secular. If you find one you do not care for, just delete it and move onto the next one.

**Creating Safer Havens
Creating Safer Havens is not just a quick fix to keep predators away from children. It is a commitment one we the healthy-minded should all embrace. Predators are everywhere, robbing children of their innocence. We all need to take our blinders off. Children need our protection more than ever these days. Sexual abuse of children is a global disaster. What is needed is a committed army of believers and followers of Christ our Lord who will take a stand to protect our precious children.
You can help bring awareness, education and accountability to parents, churches, day cares, pre-schools – any organization that has the responsibility of keeping children safe. Send them to the Creating Safer Havens website: www.creatingsaferhavens.com. (501c3) – charitable non-profit.
Let’s not allow Satan to rob our children or youth of their innocence. We need your help getting the word out regarding the Creating Safer Havens website and to make others more aware of the E-learning courses that will enable them to more effectively protect children and their Organization, and also make them vitally aware of how important it is to never let down their guard.
When on our website please note the Contact Us linkon the top of the home page and contact me and let me know you will help spread the message. Together we can make a difference!
Thank you and God’s Blessings upon you.

(Note From Bob: Donalda and I were high school classmates (Helix High School, La Mesa, Calif) and I have watched how God has blessed and guided all of her life and especially even more so now with His ministry He has entrusted her with. And if you think about it – however you contact her – please do say to her, “Hi from Bob Turnbull.” Thank you.
**kissnmakeupAA.com
Yep, that is the legit title of a website. It was founded by a beloved Christian sister of ours – Christalee – and it is an Artistry Academy. Log onto it, look it all over thoroughly, and if this isn’t something for you, prayerfully think about someone who might very much like to know of such an academy. Give Christalee a call at 818-522-9282 and she will be pleased to answer any/all questions you may have. (And like with Donalda – give her my greetings.)
**What On Earth Am I Here For?
Rick Warren’s publication – The Purpose Driven Life – has now sold about 52 million books world-wide. God has greatly blessed it. Rick has now put it in a condensed booklet form and is using the sub-title of the ‘mother book’ as the main title of the booklet, i.e., “What On Earth Am I Here For?”
The two of us have either personally handed out or mailed out over 120 of the booklets and the responses have been awesome. It is a terrific ministry/witnessing tool.
They can be ordered through two websites, i.e.,www.christianbook.com plus www.zondervan.com. The latter is the publisher. (Yes, they can be ordered through Amazon but our preference is to always support Christian ministries when we can)
** Chick Publications
Ever since the 60’s Chick Tracts have been in evidence throughout California and then the entire USA and eventually in many foreign countries. Suggest logging onto www.chick.com and reviewing this massive website. You might want to order a catalog and/or a sample packet. Although the majority of the tracts and books are in English and Spanish, many other languages are available. Throughout the website you might find something you don’t particularly care for or maybe even dislike. That’s natural with us human beings. But more than likely the vast majority of available materials and products you will like and truly appreciate and want to utilize. Use your God given discretion.

Log onto this website and you will readily discover what a valuable ministry tool this can be, and if you’re not already receiving their monthly devotional that features a prayer for each day that month, we suggest you do so. It’s a great way to start your day. ODB has it in English as well as Spanish (Nuestro Pan Diario) ……. They also have a free 90-day introductory edition. We order about 20 per month to hand out. You can also phone them at 616.974.2210, Mon-Fri, 8:30-5:30 EST.
** FOTF and HAGD
That stands for “Focus On The Family” and “Have A Good Day.” Those are two of the five pamphlets that www.tyndale.com has in their Church Resources link. The other three are “Discipleship Matters,” “Glimpses of Church History,” and “Church Around The World.” We insert the first two when we send out our monthly snail-mail personal newsletter to our ministry supporters, plus there are many opportunities to give these to people we have contact with throughout each day. For example, we leave several at our bank, main post office, gym, etc., and they are happily received and distributed. Log onto their website for further information on the pamphlets and their other materials. Their phone number is 800.692.9912.
**In Closing – we hope you will appreciate this “different” quarterly newsletter that is providing you with all of the above for your perusal and maybe utilization. As stated above, we’ll return to our normal form with our next quarterly with
