Wisdom House Publishing is pleased to partner with EDI Travel of Israel and invite you to tour Petra and Israel with us next spring! Our travel dates are March 27-April 5, 2017. We will spend 2 days in Petra. In Israel, we will visit the places Jesus walked, tour the City of David, take a boat ride across the Sea of Galilee, walk on the Golan Heights where Abraham and Jacob guided their flocks into the land God was giving them. We will visit Golgotha and have communion together outside the Garden Tomb. If you’ve ever wanted to be baptized in the Jordan River, or stand on Mount Carmel where Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal, or float in the Dead Sea, this is your chance! Join us! Make memories—and friendships—that will last a lifetime. For more information, send a message, or email: editor@wisdomhousepubs.com Next spring in Jerusalem!

A New Audience The Spring edition shipped to churches and ministries recently—and to an ever-increasing new audience of readers—men and women serving time behind bars in prisons across the country. Responding to requests from chaplains, The Spirit Today shipped to nine state and three federal prisons. There, the magazine will be picked up and read—and passed around—among inmates who need the uplifting message of the gospel. We have been told that one magazine can potentially be read by more than a dozen inmates. Already we are receiving letters from men who have accepted Christ as their savior. They write to share their good news with us, and to ask for additional materials to help them grow in their walk with the Lord. Several churches and ministries have stepped up to help us with the cost of printing and shipping additional magazines and follow-up materials for this “unexpected” ministry. We thank them! We welcome this open door—and aspire to place magazines in every prison unit in America. We have opportunities to reach people in hospitals and on military bases, too. Please pray that God will provide the funds to help us “answer the call” to this unexpected ministry. And pray for chaplains and ministers who place the magazine into the hands of those who need it most. Working together with God, we will reap a harvest.

An Unexpected Ministry A very few months ago, with the help of subscribing churches and ministries, we began placing The Spirit Today inside several Texas and federal prisons. Yesterday we received our first letter from an offender. "I am requesting any info on how I can grow in Christ Jesus on a daily basis," he wrote. "I desire to spend much of my time in God's word. Any Bible study courses would be appreciated, and welcomed." We responded today, sending a wonderful Bible study and daily devotional designed to help new believers overcome addictions and difficult challenges to their faith. As we sealed the package, we thanked God for the privilege of working in His kingdom, prayed for the inmate by name—and asked God to send many, many more. God has given us an amazing open door into prisons across America. It is an opportunity we were not expecting—and never planned for. But it is one we relish. To be used by God to provide an invitation to salvation and articles that lift the faith men and women "inside the walls" means more to us than gold. In the short time since we began, we are sending magazines into six state and federal prison units, with a potential readership of 9,600 souls. Each magazine contains real-life testimonials, as well the Plan of Salvation and a Bible study. We need your help to reach more units and more souls! If God lays men and women in prison on your heart, please let me know! A small financial investment can reach many lives—and bring an eternal return. Contact me! editor@wisdomhousepubs.com
