(International)–We begin our Christmas day broadcast with a look at how the severity of events in the Middle East has led to open doors for evangelism. American Tract Society’s Mark Brown says the Society launched a special tract for this year’s holiday season. “With all the events that are going on in the Middle East, especially what happened in this last year in Bethlehem, many, many things that people are looking at— especially around Christmastime-looking for peace, and remembering then, how holy of a time it was 2000 years ago.” Brown says the tract helps people relate not only to the troubles in the Middle East, but also reflect on hope. “This is a wonderful and timely tract, talking about the history of the song ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’. And then it leads into a great Gospel presentation-talking about the light; not living in darkness.”
