Pastor John Bradshaw

From the desk of
John Bradshaw

Dear Partner in ministry,

I want to thank you for making another miracle of divine grace possible. This was your doing. Your vision for a finished work, coupled with the blessing of God, brought life-changing results.

After recent It Is Written evangelistic meetings in Montevideo, Uruguay, Pastor Robert Costa received a thrilling report. Although Uruguay is the most atheistic country in the Americas, many people made the decision to be baptized, including an evangelical pastor. He told Robert, “I find peace and the biblical truth in this church, and I want to be rebaptized and become a member.” He is now studying in preparation for what will be a glorious day.

Evangelism reaches hearts for Christ. And it was your support of It Is Written that made it possible for this pastor to find, accept, and choose to follow God’s message for these last days.

Having just celebrated our 70th birthday, It Is Written is committed to sharing the three angels’ messages with the world. Before the end of this year, we will conduct evangelistic meetings in—among other places—Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, New York City, South Dakota, and Spain. And in October, a major It Is Written evangelism emphasis will take place in Atlanta, Georgia.

Atlanta is the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the United States. It Is Written will be conducting numerous evangelistic series in and around Atlanta, as part of the ShareHope 2026 initiative. Your kindness now will enable us to reach many for Christ, not only in Atlanta, but beyond, as the presentations will be broadcast and streamed worldwide.

Evangelistic meetings will be conducted by me, Robert Costa, Eric Flickinger, Wes Peppers, and Doug Na’a, director of our SALT evangelism training program at Southern Adventist University. Literature is being distributed, Bible studies are being given, and a major free health clinic will be held in Atlanta in preparation for a great harvest of souls. Working with the Georgia Cumberland Conference, we see a major moving of the Holy Spirit taking place. We have been airing the weekly flagship It Is Written program on two Atlanta television stations in preparation for the October meetings.

The great cities of this country are teeming with people living without hope. Your contribution to It Is Written this month will offer hope to countless people.

And your investment in souls this month will be doubled. After celebrating our 70th anniversary, a generous donor has given $70,000 to be used as a matching grant. That means anything you give, up to $70,000, will be matched. Your $50 gift becomes $100. Your $500 gift becomes $1000. Your contribution of $2,500 will be doubled to become $5000. If ever there was a time to invest in proclaiming the message of the gospel and reaching hearts for eternity, that time is now. Your donation will be matched 100 percent!

I want you to know that your support of It Is Written results in people making decisions for eternity. A man I’ll call Adam drifted away from the faith of his childhood and, for many years, was deeply immersed in a lifestyle of immorality. As his life spiraled downwards, he considered ending his life. Others thought that Adam could never change. Even Adam believed that.

After God intervened in his life, Adam underwent a miraculous conversion. Abandoning his old lifestyle, he found his way to the church, where he became a mostly neutral Christian believer.

It is one thing for a person to come to faith in Christ. The follow-up question is often, “What now?” For Adam, having our It Is Written team come alongside him and lead him into a life of productive ministry has been transformational. He has found his calling in life and is fully committed to serving Jesus. Adam had never considered that it was his life’s calling as a disciple to lead others to faith in Christ. It Is Written took Adam to the next level in his spiritual walk, showing him the value of reaching the lost for Christ. Adam was reborn as a missionary for Jesus, showing the impact discipleship can make in the life of a new believer.

This is another example of what your partnership with It Is Written accomplishes. Comprehensive pre-work, Bible-based evangelistic meetings, and follow-up discipleship result in changed lives. And with this month’s special matching grant offer, you can make an even bigger impact for God’s kingdom.

Thank you for your partnership with It Is Written. I am aware that we have never had less time to reach the world than we do now. Jesus is soon to return. Thank you for enabling It Is Written to minister on the front lines, to call to men and women and boys and girls with a message of salvation, forgiveness, and transformation. People will be saved because of this major evangelism initiative in Atlanta. With your assistance, we can work together in this great work of presenting Jesus to the world.

Thank you for standing with me in this solemn period in earth’s history. Jesus is soon to return. Together, we will see souls won in Atlanta and beyond.

May God bless and keep you.
Pastor John Bradshaw
President, It Is Written

P.S. Pastor Robert Costa recently concluded a series of meetings in Montevideo, Uruguay, in which an evangelical pastor made the decision to be baptized! Our busy year of evangelism includes a major series in October in Atlanta which will be broadcast to the entire world. Your support makes our ministry possible. A donor has graciously given us a $70,000 match in honor of our 70th anniversary. Right now, your gift is doubled! With your help, we can reach more people like Adam, who became involved with serving others during our mission trip and is now a dedicated disciple of Jesus. God is changing lives through the ministry of It Is Written. Thank you for making that possible.
