Latest News from The
Pocket Testament League
What’s Happening
There's always something going on in this dynamic ministry. We recommend that you check back regularly to see what's new. Here's a list of the most recent developments:
Independence Day effort a success
Independence Day is traditionally the only day besides Christmas when most people's hearts across the USA are warmly connected in spirit.
To make the most of this opportunity, The Pocket Testament League produced a special, limited-edition flag cover and invited members to share all these Gospels by the end of the day July 4, 2005. Entitled "A Message of True Freedom," the cover featured a composite image of a waving American flag and a soaring Eagle. Members responded enthusiastically, registering the largest volume of orders in our history. An astonishing 25,000 Gospels were ordered in a single week. Many spiritual seeds were planted and many decisions for Christ were made through this unique one-day nationwide outreach event.
New cover design for golfers
The hours spent on those lush, quiet fairways can lead to wonderfully refreshing opportunities to talk about spiritual things.
Our new cover, "Experience a Higher Drive," was especially designed for golfers, to share with golfing friends on or off the course, with the club pro, in the pro shop or while enjoying a post-game meal.
New cover design in the King James version
Fans of the King James version of the Bible have been asking for another cover in that translation.
The League has responded by introducing "Music for the Soul," a new cover designed to evoke the poetic beauty of the King James version. Featuring classical musical instruments, the cover is ideal for sharing with people who prefer the translation they grew up with.
New extreme sports cover
A new cover has been introduced specifically for those wishing to share Jesus Christ with those who live life on the edge.
Entitled "Extreme Freedom," the new cover features a skier catching air time high above a mountain village. Perfect for sharing in winter sports settings, and with those of any age who enjoy high-energy activities.
New business cover design
A new cover has been designed for sharing with the business community.
Designed to appeal specifically to people in business leadership, financial circles and executive positions, this Gospel features an abstract image combining elements such as gold coins and stock market numbers with the words "How to Experience True Success." Genuine success is the result of a life reconciled with God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and the Gospel of John is a wonderful explanation of how we can achieve that. The cover was created in partnership with BBL Forum, a ministry that links Christian business leaders for the purpose of helping them be more effective living out their faith in their unique settings.
New Web site launched
A major upgrade was made to the look and functionality of our web site. Produced almost entirely by our own staff to keep costs to a minimum, our new site offers more information about the League, improved ordering, and other benefits to create a more meaningful place for members to visit.
New holiday season Gospel cover
An exciting new cover especially designed for the Christmas season was introduced.
With a title of "Celebrate the Reason" because Jesus is the Reason for the season, the cover has a picture of candy canes arranged to look like a shepherd's cane and a cross. This limited edition cover is restricted to 30 orders per member per month.
Online donations enabled
We've upgraded to a more powerful, SSL-enabled secure server with a GeoTrust 128-bit digital certificate so that we can process donations online while offering the security our donors expect and deserve.
The server is monitored around the clock. Credit card information is encrypted and permanently deleted from the system after the donation is processed. Receipts for income tax purposes are sent by postal mail for every gift (if the donor provides address information).
New Food Gospel cover
We've designed a new cover especially suited for sharing in restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, or even the grocery store. Entitled "Food for your Soul," the new cover features a photo of bread.
New PERT prayer team introduced
Prayer is a vital part of any ministry, and our members appreciate prayer for their evangelism efforts.
Our new Prayer Evangelism Response Team (PERT) allows prayer warriors to receive a weekly E-mail of current evangelism prayer requests.
New Motorsports Gospel cover
We introduced a Gospel cover especially designed to appeal to fans of motorsports.
Featuring a checkered flag design, it also sports the words "The Ultimate Win." Because a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is truly the ultimate prize, more important than any race.
Gospel covers updated
We've updated all of our Gospels to improve readability and create printing efficiencies. This allowed us to lower the cost and respond more quickly to new cover ideas.
The League gets a new logo
The Pocket Testament League has a new look. We went back to Helen Cadbury's original vision when she started this ministry and asked ourselves, if she were a 13-year-old girl today, what kind of ministry identity would she think was cool?
Today's clothing often features small tabs containing the logos of the designers, so that's where we ended up. If Helen and her friends were sewing pockets on her clothing today to hold the Gospels they shared, they would love to attach a small "Pocket" tab to the side. That was the inspiration of our new brand identity. We hope you like it.
