To Train Up A Child

If you don't already have a copy, you'll want to purchase the book GOOD & EVIL from No Greater Joy Ministries.

Now, there is an opportunity for you and your family to be part of the next phase of developing this ministry tool. In order to increase the impact of this comic, the current artwork is being used to develop a full-length feature film using anime.

Anime is a type of limited animation that relies heavily upon still artwork. Stylistic camera work and the use of color suggest movement and hold the audience's attention throughout the story. Background scenes can be changed in such a way as to achieve three-dimensional views.

Placing this high definition film onto digital video discs (DVDs) will decrease printing and shipping costs to incurred by No Greater Joy Ministries. The same film can be then be used again and again for different languages. Each new translation will utilize different voices in that language. In this way, the reach and impact of the Good & Evil project will be increased many times.

This undertaking is massive and will require funding. No Greater Joy Ministries allows designated donations so that every penny so directed is used only for the development of this video. Children are setting aside coins. Others are planning yard and flea market sales. All hope to be part of a project designed to impact the world for Christ by going where some missionaries cannot go and by placing a powerful tool into the hands of missionaries in the field.

My children bounce and clap and sing along as we listen to the pidgen song. They LOVE the fun lyrics and sing their own version that includes words like "big pig" . . .

I tell them the story about how a young girl trusted God to carry her to the farthest reaches of the world, beyond the modern conveniences we take for granted, to a people that didn't know God cared for them.

"Think about waking and seeing a big, black spider just six inches from your face, staring at you out of unblinking green eyes, with vicious fangs, long hairy legs, and a red dot on its back. As you scream “NOOOOOO,” you hope you are just dreaming, but you realize you aren’t, worst of all, the night has just begun. Get the picture?" ~ Bulk Herb Store "Tansy In Bugs Out" by Shoshanna Pearl

They thrill to hear the stories about the strange land and a people so different -- yet so similar. . . They soberly consider how a young woman less than ten years their senior followed the call to tell those who had never heard -- how she served in a place relying fully on God for the resources she needed.

Mostly, though, they enjoy hearing the clear voice singing praises to her God From the End of The Earth. Get a copy of this CD and you're sure to enjoy it over and over again.

How would you communicate the story of the gospel to people who had never read the Bible and had no interest in doing so? Storytelling is a powerful teaching tool that many missionaries employ. Using simple illustrations, they tell the story of God and man in a systematic, chronological way that places the message in its proper context. But this method only works if you have a missionary to accompany the illustrations.

For Michael Pearl the need for an illustrated book that could both tell and illustrate this story came into sharp focus when his daughter Rebekah was on the mission field in Papua New Guinea. There was not a complete, well-done, inexpensive illustrated Bible story book available. Together with his wife, Debi Pearl, they prayed for a way to make the dream a reality. It was during this time that they met Danny Bulanadi, a retired Marvel Comics artist. Together they worked for nine years to produce what is now known as the book Good and Evil.

Good and Evil is a bold missionary. It can squeeze its way into closed countries where missionaries are not allowed. Its fantastic art, done in the tradition of Marvel Comics by one of their best artists, will make it popular where other gospel literature would be rejected or destroyed. You can walk up to a Muslim or Buddhist street vendor and give him a box of these books and he will sell them, not caring that they advocate Christianity. After all, profit first. These little missionary books will keep telling the message over and over again as they lie around waiting for someone else to pick them up. In many cases a single copy will be read by as many as 100 people. That would be just one cent per person to communicate the message of Christ.

It is our mission to send these little paper missionaries forth into every little nook and cranny on the globe, that every man, woman, and child may hear the good news of Jesus Christ. To that end, it is our vision to translate Good & Evil into 100 languages in one year. This is no easy task, but neither is it an unreachable goal.

What began as a dream to offer the good news in many languages has grown again. Now No Greater Joy Ministries is in the process of creating a film version of the book Good and Evil. Professional filmmakers and studios are now being employed to bring this work of art to film. In this way, the translation of the story would only require the spoken voice tracks to be changed while the visual illustrations remain the same.

If you haven't already gotten your copy, Good and Evil will be a treasured addition to your library. These books are on heavy stock paper, with full color illustrations and carefully referenced so that readers can read the stories for themselves as they appear in Scripture. Your purchase helps further the printing, translation and filming projects that are now underway. Get your copy today.
