Firemen for Jesus – Saving Lives Before Disasters Hit

Our ministry has the high privilege and responsibility of going around the world to call out human beings from the core of who they are. We call each person to make the ultimate choice in life—to accept Jesus Christ or to reject Jesus Christ! It is not a coincidence every project we conducted last year in three different nations (updates below) were quickly followed by major catastrophic events that ended the lives of thousands of people.

February 2013: We were on an island in the Philippines, Mindoro, where 3,218 individuals made a public decision to say yes to Jesus Christ! In November 2013, the largest recorded tropical storm in world history, Super Typhoon Haiyan, with winds up to 230-mph, ravaged the Philippines, killing over 6,200 people. I wonder if those Filipinos who turned to Jesus earlier in the year survived that storm? If not, what a joy it will be to see them in Heaven!

September 2013: We were in Machilipatnam, an area on the east coast of India, working with over 1,100 churches in a region-wide Crusade and Leadership Development Conference. Over 600 Indians, in spite of the threats of persecution, publicly repented of their sins and turned to Jesus Christ as their personal God and Lord! Three weeks after our project the 2^nd largest storm to ever hit the eastern part of India, Cyclone Phailin, forced the evacuation of over 1,200,000 people. Thankfully, due to the Indian government preparing in advance, the death toll was kept to a minimum in comparison to the more than 10,000 who died in the last super cyclone that hit East India in 1999.

October 2013: Our team conducted a 3-day Leadership Development Conference in South Sudan, which two years ago became the newest country in the world after breaking free from decades of radical Islamic rule in Sudan. We were in the capital city, Juba, where 75 church leaders from throughout the region gathered for ministry training and resource distribution. We also spoke in numerous school programs and local church meetings, with 1,617 South Sudanese accepting Jesus Christ! Little did anyone realize that less than two months later a military coup, fueled by tribal quest for political power, would explode throughout the entire country. It is heartbreaking to say the civil war continues and has grown into the beginning of genocide with up to 10,000 South Sudanese being killed, many of whom were innocent children and citizens. Please pray for the people of South Sudan!

Each of us has a different role in God’s Kingdom. Some are called to humanitarian efforts, others to long-term discipleship, and others, like our ministry, are called to call people to an immediate Heaven or Hell decision because, as I just reported, tragedies and disasters are happening with greater force and frequency than ever before and there isn’t always time to establish long-term relationships. As an evangelist I see my “job” somewhat like a fireman who does what he can to rescue people from a fire (hell), and those he saves are sent to the hospital (local churches) for attention and care (discipleship). Jesus Christ said in Matthew 7:13-14 there are two roads in front of us, one road goes to Heaven and the other goes to Hell. Which road are you, your neighbors, and your family and friends, on today? How grateful I am to my Lord Jesus that in spite of my sins, wounds, and an introverted personality, He still called me to the greatest “job” in the world…to do the work of an evangelist and “save some by snatching them from the fire” (Jude 1:23). Thank you for helping us save as many as we can before it is too late!

Fighting the good fight…for Heaven’s sake,

Another Year of Global Opportunities

As we embark on a new year, I must say how wonderful it is to be a Christian and know I am going to heaven when I die! This brings such peace to our lives as Believers…to each day experience abundant life here and now that leads to eternal life later. Today, and throughout 2014, let’s rejoice in our salvation and share it with others!

The Lord has opened before our ministry endless opportunities to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to nations around the world! Because of the support we receive from our partners we, God willing, are going to see thousands of men, women, and families open their hearts to Jesus Christ in 2014! And if that were not exciting enough, we will also have the opportunity to inspire and equip hundreds, if not thousands, of church leaders scattered throughout impoverished third world nations.

A primary focus for us will be the world’s largest and most populated continent—Asia! With approximately 4.3 billion people, Asia hosts 60% of the world’s current population. Of its 32 different countries and cultures, perhaps the most unique is the southernmost country, India. Plans are already in motion as our ministry prepares for upcoming projects in India. Please pray for God to penetrate the hearts of many Indians when they hear the message of the cross, and that the Holy Spirit will bring much needed hope to the local churches we will be working with. Please also pray for the funds needed to embark on these projects. We are praying for God’s provision to raise the $55,000 needed for the next India project; close to 40,000 people attended our recent India crusade and hundreds came to Jesus Christ after I preached the Gospel and gave the public invitation…watch the brief 5-min video clip of this crusade at www.scottnute.org.

On February 7, 2014, our ministry is having our annual “BENEFIT DINNER” at Houston’s First Baptist Church. For those of you in the Houston area, or anywhere for that matter, please come and join us! We will have a wonderful evening together sharing fellowship and a delicious meal, and listening to testimonies and a ministry presentation I will give.

There are several ways you can partner with us for our ministry benefit or with our ministry in general. You can become a sponsor in one of these levels:  GLOBAL SPONSOR, $5000; NATIONAL SPONSOR, $2500; REGIONAL SPONSOR, $1000.

You can visit our website to make your purchase: www.scottnute.org. For more information please contact us at info@scottnute.org or 713-277-8638.

Thank you for standing with us in another year of reaching and training the nations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I can hardly wait to see how God is going to change lives through us—together—in 2014!

For reaching hearts and souls in 2014,

Scott Nute
