The True Light Educational
Ministry (TLEM, pronounced Tellem) is a Christian Ministry.
TLEM is a ministry
of evangelism directed at one of the largest, but least evangelized mission
fields in America, the cults. Our goal is to educate and lead Christians in
learning how to witness to those involved with the cults and occult.
Every Christian has had some exposure with the cults. That exposure varies from the television set to the front door. On the television, one may see a commercial from the Mormons. At the door or in the street, it is common to find Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormon missionaries selling their teachings. Granted one can change the channel on the television and radio, but what happens at the door? The average Christian often hides behind the curtain and makes believe no one is home. Some simply buy one of their publications to "get rid of them." That purchase of the publication brings cult materials into the Christian home. More importantly, it supports the cult. The Jehovah's Witnesses generate over 65 percent of the income from the sale of their publications. The influence of the Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons will inevitably affect every congregation. No one is immune. Every Christian eventually will confront these people and obligated to give witness to their faith. Will he (or she) be ready? A poll asked the following question to a cross section of 2,000 Christians, "If your pastor held a special teaching seminar at your church on how to witness effectively to Jehovah's Witnesses, would you attend? "Of those responding, 74 percent said yes. The True Light Educational Ministry makes this service available to you. In addition to the cults, today we are exposed to many different forms of the occult. The television, newspapers and movies are filled with teaching from the occult. Talk shows on television seem to be specializing is psychic mediums and the like. We need to teach Christians how to respond to these teachings and protect our youth from them. WHO WE ARE
We are Christian non-
professionals who have responded to the call of God to carry the Gospel to
people held in spiritual bondage. To do this, we train Christians to be able
to properly give witness to their faith. TLEM is a non- profit organization.
We are seeking people to join with us in this missionary outreach and welcome
those who accept the calling. Grace Lutheran Church of Mastic Beach
commissioned the director of TLEM to establish a non-denominational ministry
to evangelize the cults.
A FAITH MINISTRY - WHAT COURSES WE OFFER
Our courses are offered on
all the major cults and occult groups. They deal with the basic doctrinal
issues, and how too most effectively reach a cultist. The length of the course
and the subjects covered varies according to the church's need. Our full
course on the Jehovah's Witnesses for example, takes fifteen hours. Two
members of TLEM and the clergy of the Church usually present the course. Each
lesson provides ample time for questions to be answered. There is no fee for
the courses. We do accept Love offerings and donations.
EVANGELISM
Believing that the
Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormons are in darkness, we seek to bring to them
the light of the Gospel. Our hope is to turn the table on them by showing up
on their doorsteps. At least, we hope to establish programs that when they
knock at a Christian's door, they can be greeted properly. We are also
planning to establish recorded phone messages, newspaper advertising, and bulk
mailings. In none of these activities do we represent any church or
denomination, not even the True Light Educational Ministry, only Jesus Christ.
We need your prayer that God will give us victory over the cults whose members
we are seeking to reach.
OUR GOALS
Our first goal is to be
found faithful in the work which the Lord has entrusted to us. In order that
we may do that, we seek to:
Train other Christians to
do as we do. We hope to multiply ourselves.
Evangelize the Jehovah's
Witnesses, Mormons, and other cults.
Warn the public against
following false teachers.
Provide accurate, and
effective materials for Christians to defend the faith.
Provide accurate and
effective materials to prove the True Light, and the real Jesus to the cult
members.
SUPPLIERS OF SEEDS FOR
JESUS - WE NEED YOUR HELP
Most of the 350,000 people
who join the Jehovah's Witnesses, or Mormons, each year, come from Christian
churches. They are Biblically illiterate, a fact proven by the Christianity
Today poll. They are also hungry for the Word of God as proven by the high
numbers who seek God in these cults. Will you help them? When an epidemic
breaks out, doctors try frantically to check the spread of the epidemic by
inoculating all who might become affected. (Then they must treat those
infected victims.) This is what we are trying to do in a spiritual sense, but
the task is far beyond our limited means. If we are going to accomplish our
goals, we need the support of many Christians and churches.
If you would like us to
present a seminar, talk, or simply want more information, please contact us.
We must all work together to present the True Jesus, the True Gospel, and the
True Spirit to all the people. We need your help, as those within the cults
need our (yours and mine) help to find the real Jesus.
If you have a question
regarding an organization operating in your community;
or if you would like
copies of our current tracts,
or if you are worried
about an organization your friend is becoming involved with, call or email us.
