Giving light to our world—GLOW—is an outreach initiative in numerous North American Division conferences based on the concept of church members carrying Adventist literature with them wherever they go and handing it out—free of charge—at every opportunity. Here are two short stories of lives touched by GLOW:
Recently a young man named George was shopping at a supermarket with his sister, who had never before distributed GLOW tracts. George asked his sister if she would like to try giving a tract to the cashier. She responded, “No, she won’t want it.” So after paying for their groceries, George instead handed the cashier a tract titled “A Gift for You.” The cashier looked at it and said, “Thank you! This is exactly what I need right now. I haven’t been attending church recently, but I’ve been wanting to go. So this is just what I need today!” George’s sister was surprised by the woman’s reaction and said she hadn’t realized how blessed people truly are by GLOW tracts.
While flying to Fresno one day, Nelson, GLOW director, began a spiritual conversation with a man named Landon seated next to him. Landon eventually asked Nelson what he did for a living, and Nelson explained that he develops and distributes tracts called GLOW. Landon then asked, “Did you make the one called ‘Twilight—Is It Just a Story?’ I’ve read that one.” Nelson was amazed. At the end of the flight Nelson gave him the GLOW tract titled “Myths About Hell.”
Imagine how many others could learn about Jesus if all His people started handing out GLOW tracts and other literature! It makes a difference in people’s lives.
