The Broad and Narrow Road Poster by Janice Costello

I am not very good at approaching the lost with the wonderful news of our salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Upon reading the Joy magazine (December 2010 issue) I came upon an article about the Broad and Narrow Road Posters. I was absolutely delighted, as, here was a way to reach people with the message of salvation. These posters depict the broad, dangerous and easy way to destruction and the narrow road that leads to eternal life.
I have been able, with the help of Pastor Roy Reddy’s ministry, to hand these posters out to people who need to be reached.
I volunteer with Ethembeni HIV/AIDS Ministry each Thursday by joining Dudu Zulu on her home visits to families affected by HIV. We have placed these posters at the local clinic that has been set up for AIDS patients and at the Family Centre set up for children that are affected by HIV.
The most amazing thing happened in January while we were driving through the Mpophomeni Township where Ethembeni ministers. I do not know how one of these posters got near my driver’s side door but when I opened the door one of the posters fell out onto the road. At that very minute a man came past and picked it up and asked me if he could have it. It looked a bit tatty having fallen on the road but he wanted it. I told him he could have it as long as he looked at it very carefully and showed other people it too. He said he would, with great enthusiasm. The care worker I was with told me he was a Sangoma. We were overwhelmed at God’s wonderful graciousness to His people. We prayed and are convinced that this man will be convicted of his salvation through this poster.
The poster has amazing spiritual impact with the extremely graphic pictures of the road to hell and the road to Heaven. Even an illiterate person can understand the message, without being able to read the relevant Biblical texts at the bottom.
They are printed in all languages so anyone can use them for evangelical outreach.
May this story of God’s plan for people’s salvation and His hand over “our gospel efforts in Jesus name” encourage you.
