A NEWSLETTER OF THE KENTUCKY TENNESSEE LITERATURE EVANGELISTS

NO HIGHER CALLING VOL 6 #2

“There is no higher work than evangelistic canvassing, for it involves the performance of the highest moral duties.

Those who engage in this work need always to be under the control of the Spirit of God.” - CM 12

“The church must give her attention to the canvassing work. This is one way in which she is to shine in the world. Then she will go forth, fair as the moon, clear as the sun and terrible as an army with banners.” RH Jan. 1, 1901

Rocky W. Davis Sr.

Dear Bookman Friend:

The new year is in full swing for most of us. Hopefully, you have set goals for your personal

life, as well as your ministry. For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards. That’s

one of life’s great arrangements, set in operation, by our God’s design laws. If you sow well,

you will reap well. Life is full of laws that both govern and explain behaviors, but the law of

sowing and reaping may well be the major law we need to understand: For every disci-

plined effort, there are multiple rewards.

Here are three important principles that will help you achieve your goals for 2019.

1. Build a no-matter-what mindset.

Build the mindset that no matter what, you will accomplish things when you said you would.

No matter what! You have to create pressure for yourself, otherwise nothing will get done.

2. Take control of your time.

Set consistent daily hours for work, stick to them and be deliberate with how you spend the

hours when you’re off the clock. Also, make a to-do list each night before you go to bed.

When you think about tomorrow, the night before, you’re better prepared to accomplish

things after you wake up.

3. Believe in yourself.

Most of us think about doing great things. The difference between the average person, and

the high achiever, is a commitment to belief. When you commit, really commit to a choice,

then everything else will fall into place to make it happen for you.

May God grant you the resolve to fulfill your duties without seeking the easy path. There

are no short cuts on the road to success. Remember, the one who fails to plan, plans to fail.

Always Onward & Upward,

2/11/19: eContract Update

Post-dates

We have exciting news! The developers of the eContract have been able to successfully test delayed

transactions.

Now when an LE postdates a transaction (down payment using Credit/Debit card), it will automatically be

processed on the date indicated.

In addition, an email will be sent, to the LE, when it is scheduled and when it is processed. The processed

email will indicate whether it was successful or not.

We hope that this new feature increases the convenience and usefulness of the eContract system in a

valuable way

Monthly Payments

When a customer will make monthly payments / Pay in Instalments, you would next select which type of monthly

payment they choose to make:

Credit/Debit Manual – they will go online and make a payment each month.

Credit/Debit ARB – you will set it up right then to have automatic payments come out of their credit or debit card each

month (ARB – Automatic Recurring Billing)

Check – They will mail a check each month

eCheck ARB - You will set it up right then to have automatic payments come out of their checking account each month

(ARB – Automatic Recurring Billing). They would provide their Routing and Bank account number

This book “Hope for Today’s Families”, by Willie & Elaine

Oliver, touches on many of the “felt-needs” in our commu-

nities, and I believe is non-threating since it is not dealing

with doctrinal issues. Therefore, I expect a high rate of

feedback from the community. If you would like to speak

with me for ideas on how to distribute them rapidly and

effectively, without going door-to-door, I will be happy to

put them in touch with one of my experienced leaders.

May God bless us as we seek to engage our church mem-

bers in witnessing and sharing their faith in Jesus.

Rocky

We can break up a box if needed.
