Evangelistic Work by

Dewayne, Rita and Antonio Shappley

 

Mostly in Spanish

Some in English

 

 

From our computers to the Spanish-speaking world, with a growing amount of materials for English-speaking populations.

Did you know that Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world? There are 329,000,000 native Spanish speakers, a million more than those whose native language is English. In first place is Chinese, with 1.2 billion native speakers.

 

Internet sites now the most important and productive outreach

As of May 2, 2016, we completed, by the grace of God,
fifty years of work in Puerto Rico.

On May 5, 2016, we moved to Tamarac, Florida.

Here, our work continues.

Tracts and articles translated from Spanish to English

Index of titles translated

We do not print these tracts in English versions. They were translated so that supporting churches and individuals might have an idea of the content of some of the most important works we print. Later improvements to the original versions in Spanish are not reflected in these translations.

These versions may take a little more time to load due to the formats used.

Dewayne Shappley is the author of these materials.

“On this rock I will build my church.” We invite you to learn about the church Christ built.

Este artículo en español

“On this rock I will build my church.” We invite you to learn about the church Christ built. The oldest. The original. The one which received apostolic instruction, and is under the “new covenant” of Christ. Are you concerned, confused or discouraged because of so many churches different in doctrine and practice? The fault is not that of Christ! He built only one church and gave it only one gospel. Do you agree? Do you know that church exist today? Impossible? By no means! The complete, divine model is in the Bible. Following it carefully, competent spiritual architects can reproduce it in any time or place of the Christian Age. A biblical name. An infallible creed. How we worship the “only true and living God.” How we pray to God. We sing, without playing musical instruments. How we finance our works. We celebrate the Lord’s Supper every Sunday. How we are organized. How to be added to the church of Jesus Christ.

-Catastrophism -End of the World, Rapture, Wrath of God, Final Judgment. Four examples published by National Geographic online, on the occasion of Harold Camping's prediction about May 21, 2011. Subtle Insinuations that all Christians are more or less like Camping and his followers. The huge injustice of lumping all Christians into one category and judging them by the most scatter brained, infantile and hypocritical. "Our commentary" follows each of the examples. "Hale-Boppalypse" -Tragedy in Los Angeles associated with the appearance of the Hale-Bogg comet in 1997. "Man-made Black Hole" -Some scientists feared The Large Hadron Collider might produce one that would consume the Earth.  "1666: Judgment by Fire" -The Great London Fire. The number 666 and the wrath of God. "Planetary Alignments: Doomsday Omens" -The conjunction of various planets, the sun and the moon in the year 2000.

Reports, in English, by Dewayne and Rita Shappley

As of May 2, 2016, by the grace of God and with the support of generous congregations, plus that of a few individuals, we completed fifty years of evangelistic work directed toward the Spanish-speaking people of the world. Living in Puerto Rico, and starting there, as we began to produce materials for local use, brethren in other countries learned of them, requesting quantities. Eventually, so many requests were being received and so many fruits reported that we decided to devote the major part of our time to producing materials. Beginning in 2010, our chief focus has been evangelizing an edifying through Internet sites. During these fifty years, we have continually prepared reports for supporting churches and individuals. These fill five, two inch, three-ring binders, and we have started on the sixth.

From May 7, 2008 on, reports have been made available on this Internet site.
