THE
GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST has radically changed more lives over the
last two millennia than all of the education, philosophy and politics
combined. RICK NEWTON is one of the countless millions who through
the centuries has had his life radically altered through his encounter
with Jesus Christ. Commited to the belief that the Cross is God's
lighthouse to the 'lost' in this world, he has dedicated his life
to bringing that light to wherever God leads. As he carries the
Cross around the world, Rick has sought opportunities to throw the
same "rope of hope" that he has found in Jesus Christ,
to the countless billions in this world, who have sunk in the mire
of sin, through drugs, alcohol, illicit sex, guilt, fear, rejection,
false concepts of success and even the false security of Religion.
He has walked into coupes in
Fiji and the Soviet Union and ministered to the Troops in the first Gulf War.
Through the years he has been arrested in Egypt, shot at in Jerusalem and had
a 30 cal. rifle stuck in his face in El Salvador. But, he has also been welcomed
to Parliment in New Zealand, been the personal guest of the Consulate General
in Honduras and was invited to pass out Bibles to the government leaders inside
the Kremlin in Moscow. While in Russia, Rick passed out a total of 75,000 Bibles
. . . He has been rained on, hailed on, blistered by the scorching sun and almost
froze sleeping along side the road in the mountains of Maine.
