Wrong tape, right truth

From IMB’s CompassionNet Daily Prayer

Since July, taxi drivers and security guards in a megacity in South Asia have been receiving audiocassettes of the JESUS movie. Recently a taxi driver was given a house-church planter audiocassette which is the tape for believers who want to know how to plant churches. This “second-best audiocassette” does, however, contain the gospel presentation, so Christian workers wondered how the message would be received.

So pleased was the taxi driver with the “wrong” audiocassette that he requested 60 more to give to his entire fleet! Keep praying that audiocassettes can be widely distributed among the taxi drivers, resulting in church-planting movements with them.
