The following are excerpts from the thousands of letters we receive: Myanmar Update and Translating Our Books Dear Karen, We praise the Lord for His wonderful works. God touched two Buddhist men’s hearts with the sharing of the materials you sent. Reading Bill’s books is very interesting and blessing for us and our ministry. Thank you for allowing me to translate your books into Burmese and Mizo languages. I believe they will be so effective for many people. I reread them and always get encouragement and empowerment, so I want to make them available for many people in Myanmar.
H. L .L., Myanmar

S. M., Suriname
Ethiopian Evangelist on Fire for Jesus
Jesus called me to His fold while I was living in despicable sin. Since then I am on fire to serve Him as an evangelist. Would you please send us your books and other profitable materials for our edification and growth. We are not asking for physical things, but spiritual things which satisfy our spirits.
K. A., Ethiopia
Translate Bill’s Self Defense Book in India
I am from Northeast India and got your Self Defense book from my brother as a present. It was so great and gave a challenge, because I always fight with others. Now I am applying the formulas from your book. I have a great desire to translate your book in my language and am planning to start right after my graduation.
A. K., India
Dear Bill, God has been using you to preach the Gospel through me in Nigeria and He is using you to preach the Good News through other people in the continents of Asia, Africa, America, and Europe. P.O., NigeriaDear Bill, Bill & Karen, Bill, Hi BJ, Dear Bill Rudge Ministries, Dear Bill Rudge Ministries, Dear Bill, Bill Rudge Ministries, Dear Bill and Karen, Dear Bill Rudge, Dear Bill, Dear Brother, Dear Bill Rudge, Dear Bill Rudge, Dear Rev. Bill Rudge, Dear Brother Bill, Dear Bill Rudge, Dear Bill Rudge, Dear Bill Rudge, Thank you and may the Lord bless you for remaining faithful to him in teaching the Word and applying it to life. I was radically impacted with your tape on Biblical fasting and desire to do more. D.M., Idaho Dear Bill, I was truly blessed by your teaching on fasting. I listen to you every Saturday morning. Please send me your cassette and also the booklet on Fasting for Sensitivity and Power. I feel that the Lord is calling me to fast, and the tape and booklet would be a great help, I’m sure! May God bless you abundantly as you continue to teach His Word! D.N., Rochester, New York Dear Karen, Bill and All, I am scheduled to speak at the “Jude 3” seminar. I am going to hold a seminar on Why Many Christians are Leaving the Martial Arts. I’m planning to pass out many of the Why I Quit Karate booklets that you wrote. They have really proved to be a witnessing tool. I could use about 100 booklets. I agree wholeheartedly in all that you write. Can’t tell you what a blessing those books have been to me, as so many people have done a complete turnaround after reading them and listening to the lecture and witnessing sessions with question and answers. Thanks Bill! Shari and I love you all and pray that someday we can meet, since we feel we know you both and your wonderful family. B & S.J., Minnesota Bill Rudge Ministries, Would it be ok to read sections of your book Why I Quit Karate to people I exchange audio tapes with? You’re an excellent writer and your book certainly helped to dissuade me from taking Kung Fu lessons. Looking back, I see that the Lord protected me from getting mixed up in the martial arts, as it had a pull on me since childhood. J.V., Ontario, Canada Bill Rudge Ministries, I was encouraged to read your pamphlet Are we Living in the Last Days? Wonderful life-changing message. Brother Rudge, you have encouraged me and others to run the race. Some Philippinos are now burning for Christ as the type of anointing you have imparted into us through the pamphlets. We pray that our Heavenly Father will add many souls to His Kingdom through your ministry. Pastor R. L., Philippines Bill Rudge Ministries, The Lord has used you to meet my spiritual needs in a wonderful way. Your tape Daniel, A Man of Courage and Integrity was a challenge to me. There is no amount of money that will be sent to you that can be compared to what the Lord is using you to do. I remember when you visited Nigeria and the way the Lord used you. I can never forget it. Even the prayers you offered were great and powerful. Your life is a very big challenge to me as a servant of God. Whenever I listen to your messages on tape it makes me study the word of God more. I gave two of your cassettes to the representative of our state governor. He was very happy after listening to them. Pastor S. E., Nigeria Bill Rudge Ministries, Please continue to send your newsletters. You have one of the most informative newsletters and the timing is always perfect! K.B., Lawrence, Georgia Bill Rudge, Your books and tapes have helped me to stay spiritually and emotionally strong. My faith is my stronghold and your books, tapes, and newsletters help me to be steadfast. I have put copies of each of your books in my church library for others to benefit as I have. J.C., Dracut, Massachusetts Dear Bill, We have a new ministry for teens and young women. Your booklet Overcoming Sexual Immorality was loaned to an old former colleague never to be seen again. It’s been that popular! Every time I showed it to someone they wanted to keep it. I’m sure that any person reading the truths contained therein will be contacting your ministry wanting to know more. With so many “loose women” and “sex-orientated” men out there today my community really needs to see this book! The ladies in our ministry are desperate to distribute more of your booklet, Overcoming Sexual Immorality. Not only to help women keep chaste, but also to distribute to the men who are pursuing them. We need 29 to 50 copies. Our funds are limited, but your booklet will be worth it because it is the single most important issue for women today! L.J., Sacramento, California Dear Bill, Just a short note and a little appreciation for your wonderful message this morning at Ocean Hills! Thank you also for the two books –– Reaching Your Maximum Potential in Christ and Overcoming the Giants in Your Life as well as the newsletters. I look forward to reading them all. V.D., Laguna, California Dear Brother Bill Rudge, It was indeed a great pleasure and opportunity for all of us to see you three men of God at Takdah convention of India Evangelistic Crusade. It was a real privilege to listen to the Word from you. We were very blessed by your challenging sermons. We returned home with a new vision and burden for the work of the Lord. I am interested in getting your books, pamphlets, and cassettes you mentioned at the convention. Thank you once again for your visit to Takdah. Pastor D.M., Darjeeling, India Dear Bill, I have enjoyed all your messages. They have inspired and encouraged me. Many church members have enjoyed reading and hearing these messages and their lives have been changed. Our ministry is growing steadily through your wonderful books and tapes. May God bless you abundantly as you continue your busy schedule in His service. Pastor I.J., Kenya, East Africa Dear Rudges, How thankful I am to have met you both. Bill, your words were divinely inspired and so comforting to me. Thank you. I’ve listened to your tape, read your newsletters and am working on the book you gave to me. I hope we can see each other again. If not here, than in the Millennium! God bless your ministry and keep you and Karen in His care is my prayer. S.A.R., Dallas, Texas Dear Bill, Your Ministry has been a blessing to me and my churches in Nigeria. Your books and tapes Bishop A.N.I., New Horizon World Outreach Ministries, Nigeria Bill Rudge Ministries, I was listening to your message on the Internet tonight Love Your Enemies. It was excellent and the Lord used it to bless me. Thank you, G.L., Portland, Oregon Dear Bill, On Saturday, I was driving home from the market listening to your program on Fasting. Everything that you were saying was convicting me. I felt the movement of the Holy Spirit so strongly that tears ran down my face; even when I pulled in the garage and went into my home, there were still tears flowing. I thank God for working through you. I feel that the Holy Spirit guided me to be in my car at the time of your program. Your sister in Christ, M.J., Pasadena, California Dear Bill, Karen, and Bill Rudge Ministry Staff, After listening to Fasting for Sensitivity & Power and reading Beware, our graceful Lord allowed me to see more than ever my need to repent of any and all sloth and foolishness in my walk with Him. For several years, my pastor and I have sought the Scriptures for examples of godly living, as well as examples of those men who have gone before us. We desire to make an impact and set an example for our generation and although we can by no means say that we have “attained,” we can say that we have been blessed by your materials. But not just “the materials,” but your example of godliness, self-control and holy living. We praise God for your modern day example of what Biblical and practical Christian living ought to be. Your book, Reaching Your Maximum Potential In Christ has come at the properly appointed time in my life. God’s timing is so perfect and He always knows what is best. I want to encourage and thank you by saying that your labor thus far has not been in vain, and that you have, by the grace of God, made a difference in my marriage and our lives. C. L., San Luis Obispo, California Dear Bill and Karen, It was, and is so uplifting to me, to see and hear a ministry that is so on fire for our Lord, fully overcome by His love and His grace, and most important, so dedicated to an absolute and uncompromising reliance on His Word, and His Word alone. Bill, I just wanted to let you know what an impact your book Beware had on me. I must tell you a funny story about this book ... I have a fairly decent Christian bookshelf, and know where most of these books are from, or who gave them to me. I was speaking with a Christian brother, and according to our conversation, wanted to quote Pastor Chuck Smith from his book Charisma or charismania? That is when I saw your book. To this day I haven’t a clue where it came from! (I pray that the Lord blesses the brother that snuck this book into my library!) Anyway, the Lord must have really had His hand upon you for this timely message. As this age draws to a close and the imminent and soon return of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ draws near; the deceiver knows that his time is short and I have seen too many people who call on the name of the Lord (who should know better) taken in by the lies that you addressed in your book. B.M., Kearns, Utah Bill Rudge Ministries, Though your stay was very short, it was a wonderful time when you were in Egypt. I’m always listening to your cassettes when I am driving in the car. H.S., Cairo, Egypt Bill Rudge Ministries, Shalom. It was a blessing to have you come and share with the saints during Saturday evening Shabbat service. I am blessed in many ways Bill since I made contact with your ministry. I wrote your office and graciously received materials on many subjects which I use in our ministers’ training meetings. I pray that our relationship continues to grow and flourish for the Lord’s glory. P.B., Jerusalem, Israel Bill Rudge Ministries, Thank you for your letters of encouragement in the Lord. All your books and pamphlets are challenging. I just received your Reaching Your Maximum Potential In Christ book. It’s super. It has broken, sharpened, and stirred me for His work in the United Kingdom. I am happy and blessed to be associated with Bill’s ministry. M.D., West Sussex, United Kingdom Bill Rudge, We are amazed by your discernment and blessed by your ministry. We thank you all. We pray for an open door for you to come to La Paz Baja, Mexico. We are 1,200 miles from San Diego. A & M.S., Mexico Bill Rudge Ministries, Please send five copies of your book Why I Quit Karate. I let someone use mine and it wasn’t returned. The other copy I had I gave to the library at the school of Urban Ministries in New Orleans. It gives so much good information and is written in such a simple way, anyone who can read can understand it. Thank you and God bless your ministry. H. and L.C.,Vidalia, Louisiana Dear Bill, You are in my prayers. At first I didn’t really agree with the stand you made with the martial arts because I had such a love (and pride) in it. But now the Lord has changed my heart to let go and humble myself. The Lord did it in such a way it’s been easy to let go of the physical warfare and remember it’s spiritual. So I prefer my knees over my fists. My prayers are with you. God richly bless you in your faithful service. D.B., Cranberry, Pennsylvania Bill and Karen, You are part of the reason I am where I am. If Karen hadn’t prayed with me and led me to the Lord, I probably would never have been here! Thanks for all your support. I pray everything is well with you all! C.L., Minneapolis, Minnesota Bill Rudge Ministries, I so admire and respect the honesty and integrity of your ministry. Your newsletter is such an encouragement to me. God bless you and your family and your ministry. Keep Good News coming. R.G., Sharpsville, Pennsylvania Bill Rudge Ministries, I just heard Bill speak on Total Commitment. What a powerful message! I’m from Memphis and listen to Christian radio there but never heard of the Bill Rudge Ministries. I’ll be listening often. B.C., Phoenix, Arizona Dear Bill, I want to thank you for staying true to God and for trying to open people’s eyes to the truth. I thank my God for leading me to your ministry. I had so many questions that you have answered. I have such a love for God’s Word and prophecy. J.H., Kokomo, Indiana Bill Rudge Ministries, I am writing to thank you for your message, Overcoming the Giants in Your Life. On our way to Mexico for a day, we heard your sermon broadcast on AM 1010. My husband asked me to take notes. As your sermon progressed we knew we would want to hear it again without distractions. Please send us a tape. Thank you for sharing these truths of God’s Word. We are going to remember the time and station to listen to Bill Rudge again and keep you in our prayers. C. and M.C., Phoenix, Arizona Bill Rudge, I really love your radio broadcast and I think you are one of the greatest ministries I’ve ever listened to. I really respect you and your teachings. You know the Bible inside out. You’re a wonderful minister and I thank you so much. J.S., Mogadore, Ohio Bill, Thank you for your truthful messages. The books and tapes on the flooded market as far as I’m concerned, are for greedy money making people. Some, but very few are on Scriptural line with God’s Word. If people hear God’s ministries like you, they could put that wasted money towards the use for the Lord. Keep up your good work and thank God for you. T.R., Scio, Ohio Dear Brother & Sister Rudge, I want you to know just how much your ministry has meant to myself and the congregation that I’ve been blessed to lead. You may not realize this but they just really love you even though many of them do not know you. Just by reading your books, as well as listening to your cassettes they all testify to the fact of the great blessing that they have received from you. Over 90% of our congregation is young people. This in itself is a great blessing and they are the ones who are constantly asking us when will brother Rudge be coming. I do believe that He will answer the desire of these people. I am certain that after they have listened to you they will never be the same. Rev. M.C., Word of Faith Gospel Tabernacle, Gasparillo, Trinidad, W.I. Dear Bill, I just finished your Beware book. I felt I must write and tell you how tremendously blessed I am as a result of reading it. I wage a similar war on Denver radio and was strengthened to hear someone else express insights and viewpoints nearly identical to those I feel the Lord has shown me. Thank you for taking a strong stand for the Truth –– it not only helps divert unwary believers from error, but also gives people like me added confidence to “continue to contend.” It is one of the best and most important books I have ever read. I would like to promote it through my ministry. God bless you brother and keep up the desperately needed work. Please add me to your mailing list. G.A., Denver, Colorado Dear Bill & Karen, Greetings from Australia! Thank you for the recent articles and cassette. It is refreshing to obtain a balanced and uncompromising stance on the Word of God. You have a message that is desperately needed to be heard not only in our fellowship but in the city of Brisbane also. I do hope one day to meet you and thank you personally for your prayers and literature that has been sent to me from your ministry. S.L., Brisbane, Australia Bill and Karen, Your Beware book should be in every Christian’s library. I am also encouraged to see how accountable your ministry is. Thank you for your integrity. I am positive that it is this accountability that has enabled you to be so powerfully used by God. As my income increases, my support of Bill Rudge Ministries will also grow. You will not know until heaven how much of an impact your ministry has had in my life. B.M., Ontario, Canada Dear Bill, I am pastor of a church seeking to win the lost and to equip saints for effective service. I have listened to your message, Prayer and Fasting, a powerful Spirit-anointed, heart searching message for every believer. Rev. E.K.A., Redemption Church of Ghana, West Africa Bill Rudge Ministries, I found one of your books Who is this Jesus? in my doctor’s office today and read enough of it before I had to go, to want a copy of it for myself. Thank you. L.C.W., Sidney, Ohio Dear Karen and Bill, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I appreciate you for making available the materials that are a product of your research. It’s wonderful to know that there are some ministries out there that are not afraid to take a stand for the truth regardless of the cost. Your book Beware was handed to us at just the right time. It was confirmation. P.T., Lafayette, Louisiana Bill Rudge Ministries, Thank you for sending me your books and cassettes. The materials have blessed me tremendously. I even decided to appreciate some of my teachers with your materials as gifts to encourage them as we enter our Sunday School enlargement campaign. Could you please send me more of your books and cassettes? They are life transforming, challenging, and informative. Rev. S.I., Lift Him Up Power Ministries, Nigeria Bill Rudge Ministries, I rejoice greatly in hearing how God is working numerous miracles through the Word of God in your books and pamphlets which I received. Your materials have been a blessing to my heart and spirit. I shared your books with my friends and they were so blessed. God is really using you, so press on brother, I love you. K.N., Papua New Guinea Bill Rudge Ministries, I would like to thank you for your ministry and input into my life through your newsletters and tapes, etc. Your life has been a constant challenge to me. So thank you in His Name. N.T., Yorkshire, England Dear Rudge Family, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your new book Beware. I have been reading it non-stop at every chance I get. I wish I could explain just how much your whole family has touched my life. Every time I have the privilege to be around you, I come away feeling peaceful and challenged or inspired all at once. Thank you for your true friendship and love, but most of all, thank you for your solid and genuine commitment to Jesus Christ. I love you guys! K.D., Long Island, New York Dear Bill and Karen, Wow! I was feeling so down yesterday. I went to the mailbox and there was your newsletter! What a blessing! The whole newsletter covered everything that I know and sense and feel in the world today. Your ministry is a blessing for both of us and others here in Calgary. It’s not easy believing and sticking to the truth of God. (You definitely don’t win popularity contests!) Thank you again for your wonderful newsletter. It’s a confirmation I’m on the right side. L.and B.S., Alberta, Canada
