Announcing a World-Wide Contest to Save More Souls

Good morning, Spiritual People!

I have been praying for several weeks for guidance about how I could serve God better. Last night the answer came to me, and I want to share with you what I learned and invite you to join me on an exciting spiritual quest!

As you may already know, God called me in 1995 to begin a project to help the world make 400 years worth of normal progress in the 20 years between 2015 and 2035. With His help, the outlines of the answer are now clear to me, and I'll be sharing the answers with anyone who wants to know them just as fast as I can between now and 2015. If you want to read more about this project, go to http://www.fastforward400.com

One of the first steps in the project was to publish The 2,000 Percent Solution (see http://www.2000percentsolution.com ) which describes how to accomplish 20 times the current results with the same effort and resources.

Since that book was published, I've been helping people learn how to implement that productivity-enhancing process in their chosen fields. I have been fortunate to attract a number of Christian missionaries among my students. They have made me aware of the many ways in which Christian work can be made more productive. For instance, the various Protestant churches don't share information with one another very effectively in terms of the support they provide for missionaries in far-away places. As a result, some missions receive aid from a different denomination almost every day (often duplicating what was done the day before) while other missions haven't seen any aid in years. Frequently, the aid that is provided is poorly chosen for helping with the actual needs.

Yesterday, I was very moved by Bill Keller's powerful devotional about how the only lasting legacy we can truly have is to help souls be saved. Those gains are stored up forever in Heaven.

Here's what God told me to do last night: He told me to launch a contest to find better ways to save souls through Jesus by using the 2,000 percent solution process and then to publicize what is learned as widely as possible.

Will you join me please in this worthy task? May God bless you richly when you do!

Here are the prizes:

1. God will appreciate and bless your faithfulness in serving His purposes.

2. The person who provides the best solution will join me as a co-author of a book called The 2,000 Percent Solution for Saving Souls. All profits and royalties from this book will be donated for implementing the solution described in the book.

3. The 101 next best solutions will be featured along with credit for the solutions in a book that I will edit called 101 Great Solutions for Saving More Souls. All profits and royalties from this book will be donated for implementing the solutions described in the book.

Here are the contest details:

1. To enter, you must register by March 31, 2007. All you have to do is to send an e-mail to this address ( save_more_souls@yahoo.com ). The purpose of registration is to be able to send you further instructions as needed and to help start a community among those who are interested in this subject.

All those who register will receive free copies of the e-books for The 2,000 Percent Solution and The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook to help you in creating your 2,000 percent solution.

2. To be considered for one of the prizes, you must send your 2,000 percent solution to this address ( save_more_souls@yahoo.com ) by Easter 2007 (April 8).

3. Each solution must be less than 5,000 words and be written in English.

4. The following format is required:

a. A definition of the 2,000 percent solution you are proposing and how this solution will save souls 20 times more effectively with the same time and resources

b. A description of the "stalled thinking" (see Part One of The 2,000 Percent Solution for examples of stalled thinking) you wish to overcome

c. A step-by-step analysis of the proposed solution employing each of the 8 steps in the 2,000 percent solution process (see Part Two of The 2,000 Percent Solution and all of The 2,000 Percent Solution Workbook for detailed descriptions of how to do this)

d. Evidence that the solution works based on experience with applying the solution

5. The entrants agree to forgo any royalties or profit from the publication of their ideas in the two books and to allow their solutions to be published and publicized

6. The decisions of the judges are final

7. Solutions that achieve more than 20 times increases in effectiveness versus best practices on August 26, 2006, are applicable to more unsaved people, which can be applied by more Christians, and have superior track records of success will be considered as superior by the judges.

8. Any changes or clarifications in the rules will be published here so that they can be seen by registered registrants.

Other ways you can contribute if you do not register to compete include:

1. I plan to form a non-profit foundation to own these copyrights and to distribute the funds earned by the publications to aid the solutions devised. I need volunteers with experience in these areas to set up the legal, tax and accounting structures properly and to serve on the foundation board.

2. Assuming that I will receive lots of entries, I'll need help in preliminary evaluations of the entries. This will involve checking the entries to see if they meet the criteria.

3. I need a panel of judges to evaluate the entries to choose the winners.

Please send your questions to me at save_more_souls@yahoo.com I'll look forward to hearing from you!

May God bless you, your family, and all you do!!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL FRIDAY AUGUST 25, 2006

(2 Timothy 1:5)

From Tuesday February 20, 2001:

The greatest legacy you can leave is in the lives you touch
for God.  As I have gotten older, each passing year makes
me realize all the more how brief our journey here really
is.  It is only natural that we think about how we might be
remembered after we are gone.  I don't want to sound cold,
but the fact is, other than our family and possibly a few
close friends, the memory of our life will fade quickly. 
Once we are gone from this life, there is very little left
to remind people we were even here.

Some people may be memorialized by having a building or
road named after them, others may have their memory
honored by having an event named after them.  But for most,
there will be little evidence of this life once it is over. 
My purpose today is not to discourage you, but to challenge
you in regard to how you CAN live on long after your life
is over.

I have often talked about leaving behind the temporal
things of this world when we die.  How the only thing we
will take from this life into eternity is our relationship
with Christ.  That our works will be tested and much of
what we do in this life will be burned up as wood, hay,
and stubble.  The works that will stand the test of fire
are those eternal works.  So it is with our legacy, what
we leave behind.  We leave behind our name, which may or
may not continue.  The most visible thing we leave is
our children, but they too will one day die.

What we do leave behind that will NOT pass away are
those souls who will live for eternity because we were
obedient.  Understand that only the Holy Spirit can bring
a person to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. 
However, God uses human instruments to affect a person's
life and bring them to that point.  Your prayers, your
kind words, your acts of charity, your unconditional love
for others during your life will live on in that person
for eternity!

The point I want you to understand today is that it is
never too early in life, or too late in life to impact
someone for eternity.  It is after all our purpose in
this life.  Our purpose is to serve and glorify God. 
Our service to God comes in the service to others.  Our
service to others has ETERNAL consequences.  It is our
greatest legacy.  It is the part of us that WILL live on
for eternity.  We live on long after we leave this life,
in the lives of those we touch along our way.

I love you and care about you so much.  I pray today that
you will take these words and meditate on them throughout
the day.  This is one of those Devotionals that you should
print out and keep with you.  We all go through those
times in our life when we wonder what it is all about, if
it really matters.  The answer is a resounding YES!  We
need to be reminded from time to time that we are
significant because God uses us in His plan and purpose
to touch other lives at every step along our journey.

I am so appreciative to God that He has given me this
wonderful opportunity to share the love and hope we have
in Jesus Christ with hundreds of thousands worldwide each
day.  I am clearly focused now more than ever, that the
best way I can make my life count, is in those the Lord
allows me to minister to along the way.  It is the
greatest way I can imagine to live my life.  My challenge
to you today is to make sure you leave an eternal legacy,
that you live on after your death in the lives of those
the Lord allows to cross your path.

Thank you for your love and for your prayers and for your
sacrifice to help me reach the lost and hurting masses
for Christ!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller

IN CELEBRATION OF LIVEPRAYER'S 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, TODAY
I HAVE CHOSEN ONE OF THE LIFE-CHANGING DAILY DEVOTIONALS
FROM YEAR ONE (8/99-7/00). 

from Monday May 29, 2000

Faith is what we believe, not how we feel.  One of the
requests I get daily is from people who just don't "feel"
God.  Or, they were once "on fire" for the Lord and just
don't "feel" Him like they once did.  Don't make the
mistake of judging your relationship with the Lord, or
your service to God based on how you feel.  Our
relationship with Christ isn't an emotional experience. 
We accept Christ by FAITH.  It is a relationship built on
"faith" and not "feelings."

Feelings will betray you since they can change from
day-to-day, even minute to minute.  Our faith, however, is
not based on how we feel, but what we believe.  Just like
your feeling may change in regard to your spouse, parents,
children, friends..it doesn't stop them from being who they
are in your life.  You accepted Christ by faith.  Our
relationship with Him is one of faith.  Just because your
feelings may change, your relationship with Him does not.

As you mature in Christ, as those who have walked years
with the Lord can attest, you rely less on how you might
feel and more on your faith.  The wonderful thing is that
God is the same "yesterday, and today, and forever." God
is immutable, a $5 theological term that means "unchanging."   
So regardless of how you might feel, God is always the same. 
His promises are the same, He is the same, there are no
surprises from God.  He doesn't change the rules on you at
a whim.  His love, His concern for you never diminishes or
fades away.

The longer you walk with Christ, the better you get to
know Him, the more you realize that you don't have to rely
on how you feel.  You can count on your faith, what you
believe to guide you through this journey because God
never changes.

For many people, this is a big hurdle to cross over.  The
hurdle of feelings versus faith.  I will be praying for
you today to really understand that you don't have to
count on the way you feel to determine your walk with
Christ.  It is not measured by goose bumps.

That is why I stress so much the daily time with Him. 
The 30 minutes or so at the start of the day in the Word
and prayer.  Just like you can never develop much of a
relationship with your friends without actually spending
time with them, so it is with your relationship with
Christ.  How can you have a relationship with Him, when
you never spend time alone with Him?

I love you and care about you so much.  Today is the day
we go to church, our focus tends to be on God and the
things of God.  I pray that you overcome the hurdle of
feelings versus faith, and really commit to having a
serious relationship with Christ.  That doesn't happen
overnight, just like an earthly relationship doesn't
happen overnight.  It is a day-to-day commitment.  Make
that commitment today.  Luckily for us, He never changes,
so He is waiting for you.

Thank you for your love and for your prayers and for
your sacrifice to help me reach the lost and hurting
masses for Christ!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller

There Is Only Victory in Serving God!

Bill Keller wrote a devotional today that I recommend to
you for your consideration.  It has food for thought.  He
has given me permission to copy his e-mails, and I'm sure
he would be happy if you would share this with people you
know as well.

Is it to avoid defeat?  Jesus wants us to do more.

Please read on.

*********************************************


DAILY DEVOTIONAL   TUESDAY AUGUST 22, 2006
( I Samuel 4:2, James 1:5 )

Learning through defeat.  Show me a war general who never
lost a battle and I will show you a war general who has
never been in a battle.  Show me a football coach who never
lost a game and I'll show you a coach who has never coached
a game.  Show me a businessman who has never had a bad deal
and I will show you a businessman who has never been
involved in any deals.  As great as Tiger Woods may be at
playing golf, even he doesn't win every tournament.  Life
my friend is made up of winning and losing.  The only way
you can't lose is to not ever get out there and try. 
Today, I want to encourage and challenge you to learn from
those defeats you experience along your journey through
this life.

We live in a world, in a culture, that celebrates winning
no matter what is at stake.  Watching Tiger Woods win his
12th professional major yesterday epitomized the fact that
we love those who win.  Athletes and sports teams are
celebrated and adored for winning.  Winners in the
business world are measured by the amount of money they
make.  The business leaders of our day who we look up to
are those who close the big deals, create the cutting
edge technology, and end up on the Forbes list of richest
people.

Winners in the world of entertainment are the ones who
have the most successful movies, the most watched TV
programs, the ones who sell the most CDs, the ones who
are known by people throughout the world.  At the end of
every war there is a winner and a loser.  Politics at
every level is about one thing, getting elected or
winning.  Winning and losing is actually part of every
person's day-to-day life whether it is dealing with your
finances, what happens at school or on your job, or
something as mundane as getting the parking place right
by the door to the mall instead of 12 rows back.  We
live in a world and society that measures pretty much
everything we do in terms of winning and losing.

One of the cold realties of life is that you can't win
all the time.  Along the way you will suffer defeats in
everything.  While losing is never fun and nobody enjoys
losing, the key issue that I want to address today is
that you can learn much from those occasions when you
lose.  Rather than allowing the defeats you experience in
life to demoralize you, to depress you, to paralyze you,
take the opportunity to analyze why you lost so that you
can do better the next time.  We can often learn more
about ourselves in defeat than we can in victory.  Not
only does defeat keep us humble, but it forces us to do
better the next time.

This way society has of judging our lives in wins and
losses even carries over into our Christian life. 
Recently I did a Devotional on the fact that there is no
failure with God.  The only way to fail God is to do
nothing for God.  Even though the world may consider
something we do for the Lord a failure, the world does
not factor in things like our obedience, our faithfulness,
not to mention the spiritual things taking place that
only God knows about.  However, we can never lose sight
that even in our service for the Lord we are engaged in
battles, both in the natural and spiritual realm, that we
are trying to win to bring glory and honor to the Lord.

A great example of this has been the attempt by Liveprayer
to take the TV program nationwide.  Since we are doing
something nobody else has ever tried to do before, we have
had no practical roadmap and have had to take this walk
completely by faith.  The month we were on nationwide in
July was something we had to experience to gain a complete
understanding of what was involved to do this long term. 
Obviously it was my goal and desire to continue past July,
and the fact is I could have forced the issue and continued
into August.  But by the end of those 4 weeks in July I
realized that I had completely underestimated what we were
attempting to do spiritually, emotionally, and  financially. 
It was so overwhelming that I had to pull back just to
literally survive.  I'm not being dramatic, it was that
intense!

So, in what the world would label a defeat, here is what
I have learned. Despite having done 870 programs over 3 1/2
years, having been reaching an audience of 1/4 million
nightly throughout the State of Florida for the year
leading up to our national launch, I underestimated what
being able to reach the entire nation, "live" for an hour 5
nights a week on a major secular network would be like. 
I've spent the last 7 yrs of my life reaching a
predominantly non-Christian audience of millions worldwide
every single day.  I believed I was prepared but simply
never imagined the level of warfare that I would encounter. 
Let me tell you, satan is NOT going to just sit back and
watch someone proclaim Biblical Truth and the hope and
love of Jesus to the lost and hurting masses on a major
secular TV network without major opposition.  NO WAY!

Very few could ever understand the level of warfare I
have learned to assimilate in my daily life over these past
7 years as a result of bringing God's Truth to over 2
million souls worldwide every day through the Internet and
the tens of thousands more every night on secular television
via the TV program.  What I experienced in July was 100x, no
1000x greater than anything I had ever experienced before. 
In addition to the financial aspects, I fully understand why
other ministries stay in the safety of the Christian TV
networks, or the few who do air on some secular stations
simply preach a very non-confrontational pre-taped message
geared to a church audience on Sunday morning.

Financially, Liveprayer has been an absolute miracle of God. 
We never should have survived the first year after the
venture funds we expected 6 months in dried up as a result
of the dot.com bubble bursting in early 2000.  However, God
sustained the work, allowed us to expand and reach more
people each year through the Internet, add the secular TV
program to the mix which continued to expand, and over
time not only stay current with our financial obligations
but work down the debt we incurred surviving those first
2 years from over a million to right at $600,000.  Having
seen God work miracles time and time again in meeting our
needs, I underestimated the fact that this would become
our main battleground in taking the TV program to the
nation.  Satan knew if he could keep the finances dried up,
we could not stay on the air.  Despite years of financial
victories, we were now at an entirely different level in
going from a budget of $2 million a year to just over $10
million a year.

The reason the warfare was so intense, the reason satan was
fighting so hard was evident in those 20 nights we were on. 
An average audience of 300,000 people each night were
hearing the Truth of God's Word proclaimed loudly, boldly,
and visibly like nobody else was doing.  Being on nationwide
"live" for an hour 5 nights a week, people were able to call
in and have their faith rewarded as God met their needs. 
Each night over 5,000 emails for prayer poured in from
people who were hurting were reaching out in their time of
need, looking for answers and hope.  Most important of all,
over 2,400 souls we know of came to faith in Christ during
those 20 nights.  TWENTY FOUR HUNDRED!  Praise God!

Each night, I felt the incredible power of being able to
share with a lost and hurting nation the Truth of God's
Word and the fact He loves them so much.   I sensed the
hunger and desire through those cameras as people from
coast to coast tuned in to hear His Truth proclaimed and
the fact they could have a personal relationship with His
Son Jesus Christ.  Each one of those 20 nights as I told
the viewers how they could be saved, I knew there was an
all out war going on in the heavenlies.  Night after
night, the commitments poured in as people surrendered
their lives to Jesus!

I love you and care about you so much.  God clearly
honored our faith to follow Him in using that program
during those 20 nights to impact millions of lives,
transforming many for all eternity.  However, in the 
world we live in, the fact we were not able to sustain
the program past those initial 20 nights would correctly
be classified as a defeat.  It was in defeat that I
learned what it would take spiritually, emotionally, and
financially to sustain the program reaching the entire
nation "live" for an hour 5 nights a week on a major
secular television network.  It was in defeat that I
found the comfort of God's love and His strength to press
forward.  It was in defeat that whatever commitment I had
made to the Lord to boldly take His Truth and the hope of
Christ to the nation through secular television was now
solidified and I became resolute in fulfilling His call
upon my life.

*YOU CAN EITHER LET THE DEFEATS IN LIFE INTIMIDATE YOU
FROM EVER REACHING YOUR GOALS, OR YOU CAN USE THE DEFEATS
IN LIFE TO MOTIVATE YOU TO VICTORY!!!

Even though I understand that what we did those 20 nights
was clearly a victory in God's eyes and for millions of
people, satan has temporarily won since every night we are
not on, people are not hearing God's Truth and how they
can be saved.  I know that every day people who will never
go to church, never read the Bible, never watch Christian
TV, are dying and going to hell because the TV program is
not on.  I have learned the lessons I needed to learn in
defeat so that when we get the program back on nationwide,
this time it will be declaring God's Truth and bringing
people to faith in Jesus Christ until our Lord returns.

I will be praying for you today.  Praying that you will
remember that there is no failure with God.  Don't fear
stepping out in faith to fulfill whatever it is God has
called you to do with your life.  I will also be praying
that you will realize that we all win and lose along our
journey through this life.  Losing is no fun, but use
those moments as opportunities to correct your mistakes
and work on those areas you are weak.  Don't let the
defeats you experience in life get you down, but use them
as learning opportunities so that you can do better the
next time.  We all enjoy winning, but never forget that we
can learn the most from our defeats.

Of course, the one defeat you will suffer from for all
eternity is rejecting Jesus Christ as your Savior.  The
most important victory in your life comes when you accept
Christ into your heart and life by faith and have your
sins washed away and receive the free gift of everlasting
life.  If you have never experienced that victory, I
encourage you to go to: www.liveprayer.com/bdy_salvatn.html  
Pray, ask God to open your heart to the truth of the words
there, and make the choice today to ask Jesus Christ into
your heart and life by faith.  Coming to know Jesus as your
personal Savior is the greatest victory there is, since it
is one you will enjoy for all eternity!!!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
