Christians struggle to share Jesus. It leaves us feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or even guilty. At The Pocket Testament League, we understand. That's why we created a simple method to sharing Jesus that works for anyone. In fact, we have taught millions of Christians around the world how to share the gospel over a hundred and fifty million times.
The Pocket Testament League is aiming to invite 130 million people to meet Jesus by 2028, by energizing more than 225,000 Christians to use a simple repeatable method of sharing the Word of God.
We have one strategy. It's relational; helping Christians to reach the lost with the Word of God, using Gospels of John. There are two ways we do that. 1. We reach out to Individuals and equip them, our members, to share the Gospel of John one-on-one. 2. We reach out to Partners and we help these leaders to use their business, ministry, and church networks and equip their members to share the Gospel of John one-on-one.

Charting Impact
What is your organization aiming to accomplish?
The Pocket Testament League is aiming to mobilize 30,000 Christians to share the faith with 130 million people over the next 10 years, from 2019 to 2029, using a simple repeatable method of sharing the Word of God.
What are your strategies for making this happen?
We have 3 relational strategies to help Christians to engage the world with the Word of God, using Gospels of John. First, Individuals share the Gospel of John one-on-one. Second, leaders use their business, ministry or church to spread the Gospel. Third, ambassadors, who are positioned at high levels in government and churches distribute millions of Gospels through the Christ-followers under their influence.
What are your organization's capabilities for doing this?
Each of these 3 strategies has been honed recently 1. Individuals – from 2009 through 2018, approximately 450,000 people engaged the Pocket Testament League to be equipped to share over 9. 5 million Gospels of John. 2. Organizations – from 2009 through 2018, over 300 organizations partnered with the Pocket Testament League by specifically co-branding a Gospel of John. 3. Ambassadors – from 2009 through 2018, over 16. 9 million Gospels of John were shared, legally, including Mainland China.
How will your organization know if you are making progress?
For each strategy, we have specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound numerical goals. PTL has established annual goals for the next 10 years. 1. Individual Members – from 2019 to 2029 we plan on growing from 16,000 to 31,000, who will reach 19 million people. 2. Organizations – from 2019 to 2029 we plan on adding 100 organizations to reach 3 million people. 3. Ambassadors – from 2019 to 2029 we plan on adding 4 additional Ambassadors who will train their network of disciples to reach 119 million people for Jesus.
What have and haven't you accomplished so far?
The key steps taken to date include: 1. Honing the Pocket Testament League Model 2. Establishing systems and networks that are scalable with only a small addition of resources at specific points of growth. 3. Building key relationships with Organizations and Ambassadors. 4. Testing the above in Year 1 of our 10-Year Plan. Specifically, in Year 1: 1. Individual Results: 1. 156 million Goal // 1. 185 million Actual 2. Partner Results: 198,000 Goal // 230,000 Actual 3.
