Dear Friend,
The main purpose of this ministry is to
tell people the way to Heaven. Good works will not give you salvation. You must
trust Jesus Christ "alone" as Savior. Jesus said in John 14:6 "1
am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No man
cometh unto the Father, but by ME." He is the "only" way to
Heaven. You should sincerely pray: Jesus, save me from my sins, I trust you
"alone" as my Savior so when I die I will go to Heaven, in Jesus
name, Amen. Call or write me if you prayed or for more information.
The Lord has really blessed this
ministry. I have written a book called TAKE THE GOSPEL TO EVERY HOME. It
describes the many past and present outreaches. The book also gives the results
etc. It is over 100 pages. There is also a "condensed" version
that describes this ministry without the results. Call or write if you
want these books. The following is a description of some past and current
outreaches. Please note that some of the numbers are higher now. Contact this
ministry for the latest numbers and for which outreaches are current. Call
412-823-8382 or write

TAKE THE GOSPEL TO EVERY HOME
The main purpose of this ministry is to
reach lost people and to tell them to trust Jesus Christ "alone" for
salvation. This is accomplished through many outreaches which reach lost people
where they are located. I praise the Lord for good Bible believing churches
which are also doing this. I like the article below because it agrees with this
ministry.

"Self Proclaimed" or "God Called" ?
The purpose of this ministry is to exalt
Jesus Christ, not myself. The newsletters etc. explain this ministry so I can
request financial support. However, you should also know about me in order to
make a decision about helping. You should make sure that I am not a "self
proclaimed" evangelist but a "God called" evangelist. Eph. 4:11
says "And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers". The following is what a
Bible commentary says:
The officers which Christ gave to his church were of two
sorts-extraordinary ones advanced to a higher office in the church: such were
apostles, prophets, and evangelists. The apostles were chief. These Christ
immediately called, furnished them with extraordinary gifts and the power of
working miracles, and with infallibility in delivering his truth ; and., they
having been the witnesses of his miracles and doctrine, he sent them forth to
spread the gospel and to plant and govern churches. The prophets seem to have
been such as expounded the writings of the Old Testament, and foretold things to
come. The evangelists were ordained persons (2 Tim. i.
6) whom the apostles took for their companions in travel (Gal. ii. 1), and sent
them out to settle and establish such churches as the apostles themselves had
planted (Acts xix. 22), and, not being fixed to any particular place, they were
to continue till recalled, 2 Tim. iv. 9. And then
there are ordinary ministers; employed in a lower and narrower sphere; as
pastors and teachers. Some take these two names to signify one office, implying
the duties of ruling and teaching belonging to it. Others think they design two
distinct offices, both ordinary, and of standing use in the church;
We should praise the Lord for good Bible
preaching pastors and teachers. We also see that apostles, prophets and
evangelists are an extraordinary high office in the church. The apostles and
prophets no longer exist. However, evangelists are still active in the church.
Therefore, I or any other evangelist must make sure he is "called" to
this high office and not "self proclaimed". I am sure that the Lord
called me. The following is a letter that I wrote years ago:

A SPECIAL "CALLING"
Dear Friend,
A person should not be in the ministry
for a profession, money or to be noticed by others. He should be in the
ministry because of a "special calling". This is what happened to me.
I had a very good job with Westinghouse. The pay was good and I enjoyed the
work. I was determined to make this my permanent career. However, the Lord had
other plans. I was offered another job and they wanted a decision. I felt that
the Lord wanted me to visit a seminary before my decision. I visited and
decided not to attend. One day I was in my house praying for a decision about
my new job. I prayed "Lord, I need a decision right now. Please tell me
what I should do." At that moment, my telephone rang and I answered it. A
friend told me that the Lord told him to call and tell me to go to seminary. I
was amazed and knew that the Lord really "called" me to seminary.
After I arrived, I met a person named Art
Hage. We wanted to start a ministry and heard about a
15 minute opening on a local TV station. We prayed about it and decided to take
the program. However, we didn't know who would do this. We decided that both of
us would try to raise the money and whoever succeeded would do the program. I
knew the janitor and he let me in the mailroom at night. I put a newsletter and
envelope in every students mailbox asking for
contributions to support the program. The students responded and I started the
ministry.
It is good to remember how the Lord
called me to seminary and this ministry. This encourages me when things get
difficult because of attacks from Satan, etc.
Some people are in the ministry for other
reasons but were never called. You should make sure that the people you support
were called to the ministry. You can see that the Lord called me. I praise Him
and give Him all of the glory. I pray that the Lord will use you to help
support this ministry because of my special "calling".
Thank
you, In Christ, David Hinton
OVER 2"BILLION" - OVERALL TOTAL OF ALL
OUTREACHES:
SPECIAL NOTICE - A very large goal has been met. The total of all
the outreaches has gone over 1 Billion (1000 X 1 Million) as of October
1999. It has also increased over 3 million per month since then. This is
an average of over 100,000 per day. It is impossible to determine how
many people have been reached but we can be sure that the number is very
large. The following explains some of the outreaches.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
SALVATION MESSAGE OVER THE COMPUTER INTERNET
This ministry had an outreach where
people were reached over the computer Internet. A salvation message was put in
chat rooms. Sometimes over 40 people were reached at one time.
Warning - some of the chat rooms have bad
language etc. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that we are not
influenced by this. Only stay in the room a short time unless somebody is
interested in salvation. We are to be in the world but not compromise with
false beliefs and sins.
This web site http://www.hintonoutreach.com has
over 70,000 hits.
OVER 1,820 TIMES ON TELEVISION
Many people have been reached many times
through TV programs, TV spots and sermonetts. The

OVER 355 BILLBOARDS
BILLBOARDS – With the prayer of salvation or John 14:6 or
Romans 10:13 – over 90 Million times cars have passed the billboards.
There are additional billboards now.
Contact this ministry for the updated list of past and present billboards.
OVER 1.67 BILLION NEWSPAPERS
AMAZING GRACE MAKES AMAZING NUMBERS - Ads
have been put in newspapers. This would be over 1500 miles high if the
papers would be stacked on top of each other. The length would be over 288,000
miles if the newspapers would be put side by side, which would be 67,000 miles
past the moon when it is closest to the earth. These newspapers would cost about 1 billion dollars ($1.50 sunday
paper, and 50 cents daily paper.) They would weigh over 400,000 tons.
OVER 2000 TIMES
I attend, support and preach in good
Bible believing churches. I don't compromise with liberal churches or the
modern day ecumenical movement for financial support. I believe that Bible
doctrine is very important. 2nd Timothy 3:16 says "All scripture is given
by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness." Because of this I can not
help or ask liberal churches and others who compromise doctrine for financial
support.
The Bible also indicates that we are to
worship in Spirit and Truth. Both are necessary to please the Lord, We can't
have one without the other.
Therefore, I am limited to what churches
and individuals who can be approached for financial support. This is why I need
your help if you agree with the above.
Thanks,
David
Hinton
This Ministry Can Help Your Church!
CHURCH GRAPH GOALS
OVER 223 MILLION
There are many organizations that claim
to be "Christian". A Biblical organization and evangelist must not
compromise sound doctrine and they must be local church oriented. The purpose
of this ministry is to accomplish both. The CHURCH GRAPH is used to motivate
people to set goals in order to reach others.
Contact this ministry if you want help
setting goals in your church to reach many people for Jesus Christ.
OVER 12,000 SPECIAL FLYERS
These have been distributed telling about
me preaching and giving the plan of salvation. This can also be done in your
church.

FALSE RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPERS - TRUE SAL. AD
This ministry has another outreach where
a true salvation ad is put in a false religious newspaper. The newspaper has
prayers to Saint Jude, Mary and others. However, the Bible indicates that we
must only pray to God the Father and Jesus Christ. Please pray that the true
salvation prayer to Jesus will save the people who are deceived by praying to
others. Please send a designated contribution to support this outreach. Thanks.

SPECIAL GIFT - $6000 TELEPHONE COMPUTER
OVER 137,000 CALLS ON THE PREVIOUS COMPUTER
Over 10 years ago a pastor friend of
mine, Art Hage, gave me a used telephone computer. I
have used it ever since. Over 140,000 calls giving a salvation message
have been made. I recently called the company and asked them for the price of a
new telephone computer. They told me $6000. Therefore, I decided not to
buy one. A man from the company called me later and told me that there was a
church in
OVER 222,000 TELEPHONE MESSAGES
OVER 84,000 CB RADIO MESSAGES
I started a telephone outreach by dialing
numbers from the phone book. I dialed over 57,925 numbers and played a recorded
salvation message. I did this by hand before I received a telephone computer. I
also dialed about 2,000 additional numbers and played the recorded
salvation message at Midway,
TO
GOD BE THE GLORY, David Hinton
TELEPHONE MESSAGE
Dear Friend:
The telephone is a good way to reach
people without leaving your home. You can call your friends or people you don't
know. Introduce yourself and tell them that you are taking a religious survey.
Indicate that you are not selling anything and you are not asking for
contributions. Tell them that you would like to ask the following questions.
Please give me the names, addresses and
telephone numbers of the people who prayed, who would like to be recommended to
a good church or who would like to receive the free newsletter. Thank you.
Sincerely
In Christ,
Evangelist
David Hinton

Dear Friend,
I really enjoy your newsletters - it is
one of the best. The way you present God's Word makes it even more positive!
Each of my three prisoner friends require a different
approach when I speak of the Gospel. I am sending my copy no. 150 to one
-------. I would like two more copies, one for me and one for prisoner no. 3
who is rebelling.
In Christ, M.S.
Dear Brother Hinton.,
I read the newsletter and enjoy it very
much. Please continue to send them. I saw one on the bus the other day while
going to work - - - - - - - Your ministry is special to me. You get the Word
out through so many different channels. I pray that God will continue to
prosper you. Enclosed find my offering.
Your
brother in Christ, Bob S.
THE WORD WILL NOT RETURN VOID
Dear Mr. Hinton, (He says
"lucky", but God really planned this.)
I found a copy of your newsletter on the
ground in the parking lot of Great Southern Shopping Center. It looks like a
lucky find in that the newsletter is very interesting and informative. It
explains what the Scriptures say and this is what I need since I find the Bible
hard to understand.
There is a prayer on the front page and I
studied and said it. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose from the
dead, I accept Him as my Savior.
I would like to receive a copy of your
newsletter every month.
TO
GOD BE THE GLORY
Sincerely Yours, J. P.
