Introduction

FOR OVER 60 years my father has presented to the world, in


written form, the most essential and energizing biblical truths
that produce the Christ-life in people.
This book, GOD’S LIFE IN YOU, will become a favorite
and reliable resource as you continue to discover what it
means to be a carrier of God’s life. Study and embrace the 52
facts that are included herein, which establish your faith in the
fundamental and unchanging truths that are for you.
If you have received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior,
then you no longer need grovel or beg for forgiveness of sin or
for the dignity that comes to you through Christ. Likewise, you
are not required to continually fight the devil or struggle to live
a life of peace and purpose.
It is GOD’S LIFE IN YOU that makes the difference. Know
these truths. Embrace and believe each one. Determine to LIVE
each day according to the redemptive reality of GOD’S LIFE IN
YOU.
LaDonna C. Osborn, D.Min.
Chapter 1

-Discover-
God's Purpose in You

WHEN YOU DISCOVER your roots in God and identify with


His purpose for you on this earth, you have begun to really
live GOD’S LIFE IN YOU.
It is a lifestyle based on:

Positive faith,
Positive thinking,
Positive talking,
Positive acting.

What is the source of this positive faith?

Faith comes by hearing the word of


God.Rom.10:17

Here are fifty-two facts which lift you from boring


mediocrity to a fruitful partnership with God. They are the
miracle stepping stones that lead you from the condemning
guilt-complex of living out of harmony and out of contact with
God to the success and exhilarating self-esteem which
develops when you discover who you are and how you can
come to God and share His lifestyle.
You discover a new power, a new goal and new purpose.
You are transformed:
From defeat—To success
From sickness—To health
From boredom—To enthusiasm
From problems—To solutions
From pressure—To pleasure
From poverty—To prosperity
From hopelessness—To happiness
You are blessed, and your family is benefited too.
The Bible says: Old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new.2Cor.5:17
These fifty-two facts will help you to experience GOD’S
LIFE IN YOU. Then they become the foundation stones of
God’s pact of plenty—His full life policy that covers you and
your house.
Review them often.
Rehearse them in prayer.
Memorize them.
Recite them in family worship.
Recount them to relatives and to friends.
Enumerate them.

They will continually activate GOD’S LIFE IN YOU as you


keep them in your heart and on your lips.
Anyone who embarks on this good life will, sooner or
later, discover a very real enemy. The Bible calls him Satan and
mentions him at least 175 times by such names as
Lucifer,Isa.14:12-14 the devil,Mat.4:1; Eph.6:11 and Satan,Rev.12:9 the
adversary,1Pet.5:8 the god of this world,2Cor.4:4 the
enemy,Mat.13:39 the tempter,Mat.4:3 the wicked one,Mat.13:19 the
ruler of darkness,Eph.6:12 the murderer,Jn.8:44 and by other
names.
You will meet him in his most subtle form as the
accuser.Rev.12:10
So when you are discouraged, or tempted to doubt your
experience with God, rehearse these fifty-two facts of GOD’S
LIFE IN YOU.
That is the effective way to resist the devil, and James
said he will flee from you. Jas.4:7
The apostle John said, They overcame Satan by the word
of their testimony;Rev.12:11 and Jesus defeated every temptation
of Satan by saying, It is written,Mat.4:4,7,10 then by quoting a
scripture.
When the accuser tempts you, rehearse these facts and
confess these scriptures and it will happen to you as it did to
Jesus: Then the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered to him.Mat.4:11
So, learn these facts on the next pages, and make these
verses your confession.
Chapter 2

-52 Facts-
Of God's Life in You

1 You were unsaved before you received Christ.


For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God.Rom.3:23
2 You were guilty before God, under the penalty of death.

For the wages of sin is death.Rom.6:23


3 But God loved you too much to see you perish.
He is not willing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance.2Pet.3:9
4 God offered His best to prove His love to you.
God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have
everlasting life.Jn.3:16
5 Christ was God’s gift and He died for you.
But God commends his love toward us, in that while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us.Rom.5:8
6 You realize that your sins separated you from God.
Your iniquities have separated between you and your
God, and your sins have hid his face from you.Isa.59:2
7 Knowing your sins cost God His Son, and Jesus His life
and blood, you repent of them.
You sorrowed to repentance; for godly sorrow works
toward repentance 2Cor.7:9-10 and you know that except you
repent, you shall perish.Lu.13:3
8 You confess your sins to Him and are cleansed.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.1Jn.1:9
9 You recognize Jesus at the door of your heart. You open
it and He comes in.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if you hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in and will sup with you
and you with me Rev.3:20 meaning to dine and have fellowship
together.
10 You receive Jesus and become God’s child.
As many as received Jesus Christ, to them he gave power
to become the children of God, even to them that believe on
his name.Jn.1:12
11 You become a new creature.
If any one be in Christ that one is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new.2Cor.5:17
12 You know you are born again because you receive
Christ.

Jesus said, You must be born again Jn.3:7 and when you
received Christ with power to become God’s child, Jn.1:12 you
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of a human being, but of God,Jn.1:.13 by the word of God
which lives forever.1Pet.1:23
13 You believe the powerful message of The Gospel that
saves you.
The gospel is the power of God to salvation to every one
that believes.Rom.1:16
14 You believe on the name of Jesus Christ because of the
record of the Gospels.
These are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life
through his name. Jn.20:31
15 You call on His name and are saved.
Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved.Rom.10:13
16 You recognize that Jesus is the only way to God.
I am the way, the truth and the life: no one comes to the
Father but by me Jn.14:6 for there is one God, and one mediator
between God and people, the man Christ Jesus.1Tim.2:5
17 You know there is salvation in none other.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved.Ac.4:12
18 You put your faith in Jesus as Savior.
For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any one
should boast.Eph. 2:8-9
19 You believe that the Lord comes into your life.
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their
God, and they shall be my people. I will be a Father to you,
and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord
Almighty.2Cor.6:16,18
20 You do not trust in any good works or self-r
ighteousness to be saved.

Our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.Isa.64:6 Our


salvation was not of works, lest any one should boast.Eph.2:9
21 You are saved only by God’s mercy.
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed
on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; That being
justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to
the hope of eternal life.Tit.3:5-7
22 You know Christ’s death justifies you before God.
Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ.Rom.5:1
23 You know His blood remits your sins forever.
This is my blood which is shed for many for the remission
of sins.Mat.26:28 Being justified by his blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through him.Rom.5:9
24 You know you are cleansed from sin.
To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his
own blood; Rev.1:5 In whom we have redemption through his
blood, even the forgiveness of sins.Col.1:14
25 You know your sins are put away and forgotten.
Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the
world, Jn.1:29 having removed our transgressions from us as far
as the east is from the west Psa.103:12 so that your sins and
iniquities will he remember no more.Heb.10:17
26 You know your sins were paid for by Christ’s death.
Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the
tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to
righteousness.1Pet.2:24 He was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our
peace was upon him.Isa.53:5
27 With your sins punished and washed away you know
they can never condemn you again.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus,Rom.8:1 for God made him who knew no sin,
to be sin for us; that we might be made the righteousness of
God in Christ 2Cor.5:21 and where remission is, there is no more
offering for sin Heb.10:18 so that now nothing shall separate us
from the love of Christ.Rom. 8:35
28 You know when you accept Christ you receive His life.

Those that have the Son have life,1Jn.5:12 for they that
hear my word, and believe on him that sent me, have
everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but
you are passed from death to life. Jn.5:24 And this is life eternal,
that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ
whom you have sent. Jn.17:3
29 You know Satan will accuse you.
He is the accuser which accused them before our God day
and night Rev.12:10 just like he did to Job. Job1:6-12
30 You are not ignorant of His works.
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not
ignorant of his devices.2Cor.2:11 For we know that he comes to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy. Jn.10:10
31 You know how Jesus overcame him.

But he answered and said, it is written. Mat.:4,7,10 Then the


devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered to
him.Mat.4:11
32 You know Jesus proved that Satan could not win.
Christ was in all points tempted like we are, yet without
sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that
we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Heb.4:15-16

33 You know He faithfully helps you in temptation.


There is no temptation taken you but such as is common
to humankind: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to
be tempted above that you are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able
to bear it.1Cor.10:13
34 You know that there are two weapons Satan can never
resist.
And they overcame him…the devil who accused them
before God day and night…
1) by the blood of the Lamb, and

2) by the word of their testimony.Rev.12:10-11


35 You know Satan cannot win over your faith.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist steadfast in the faith.1Pet.5:8-9 Resist the devil, and
he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw
near to you; Jas.4:7-8 you who are the begotten of God keep
yourself, and that wicked one touches you not.1Jn.5:18
36 You know your faith is the victory.
For whoever is born of God overcomes the world: and
this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our
faith.1Jn.5:4
37 You know not to love the world but to do God’s will.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the
world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not
in them. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust
thereof; but those who do the will of God live for ever.1Jn.2:15-
17

38 You know Christ came to defeat your enemy.


For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil.1Jn.3:8
39 You know Satan is no match for Christ in you.
Christ in you, the hope of glory.Col.1:27 I will dwell in you
and walk in you, says the Lord Almighty.2Cor.6:16,18 You are of
God, little children and have overcome, because greater is he
that is in you than he that is in the world.1Jn.4:4
40 You know your new life source is the Lord Jesus
Christ.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave
himself for me.Gal.2:20
41 You know your new life has divine purpose.
The steps of good people are ordered by the Lord and
God delights in their way. Though they fall, they shall not be
utterly cast down: for the Lord upholds them with his
hand.Psa.37:23-24
42 You know God sees you and hears you.
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and his
ears are open to their prayers.1Pet.3:12
43 You know He invites you to call on Him.

Call to me, and I will answer you.Jer.33:3 Ask, and it shall


be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened to you. For every one that asks receives.Lu.11:9-10
44 You know when you pray that He answers.
Whatever you desire, when you pray, believe that you
receive them, and you shall have them; Mk.11:24 and whatever
you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may
be glorified in the Son. Jn.14:13
45 You know that you belong to God’s royal family.
You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the
praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his
marvelous light.1Pet.2:9
46 You know that all Christ has now belongs to you.
For all who are led by the spirit of God are children of
God. And so we should not be like cringing, fearful slaves, but
we should behave like God’s very own children, adopted into
the bosom of his family, and calling him, “Father, Father” For
his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts, and tells us
that we really are God’s children. And since we are his
children, we will share his treasures—for all God gives to his
Son Jesus is now ours too.Rom.8:14-17 LB
47 You know you have His life in your flesh now.
That the life of Jesus might be made manifest in our
mortal flesh,2Cor.4:11 for your body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost.1Cor.6:19; 3:16-17
48 You know you never need to live in want again.
My God shall supply all your need according to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus,Phil.4:19 for no good thing will
he withhold from them that walk uprightly.Psa.84:11
49 You no longer fear diseases and plagues.
There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague
come near your dwelling,Psa.91:10 because I am the Lord who
heals you.Ex.15:26 Jesus took our infirmities and bore our
sicknesses Mat.8:17 and with his stripes we are healed.Isa.53:5;
1Pet.2:24

50 You no longer are oppressed by problems.


Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for
you.1Pet.5:7
51 You know you are a winner.

If God be for us, who can be against us? Rom.8:31 …in all
things we are more than conquerors through him that loved
us.Rom.8:37 He which has begun a good work in you will
perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Phil.1:6 Faithful is he
that calls you, who also will do it.1Th.5:24
52 You know Christ is with you to the end.
For he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you.
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will
not fear what any person shall do to me,Heb.13:5-6 and, lo, I am
with you alway, even to the end of the world.Mat.28:20
THOSE 52 FACTS are for every man, woman, boy and girl who
wants to fulfill God’s dream for his or her life. They will foster in
you a fresh discovery for experiencing a new kind of Divine
Life and produce a new hope, new faith, new love and a new
purpose in your life.
Chapter 3

-Greatest Miracle-
Of Your Life

IF YOU WILL only believe that Jesus suffered for you


personally, you will be saved. Since your sins are purged,Heb.1:3
they can no longer condemn you. The Lord wants to come and
live in you; and when that happens, you are transformed by
GOD’S LIFE IN YOU.
Right now, find a place alone with God, get on your knees
and pray to the Lord right out loud. If you have accepted
Christ, read the prayer that follows as a fresh confession of
your faith and trust in Him.
If you have not yet embraced Jesus as a living reality in
your life, do it now as you PRAY THIS PRAYER:
O Lord in heaven:
I do, here and now, believe on Jesus Christ, the Son
of God. I believe that in Your great mercy and love, You
died for me, as my personal substitute.
I believe that You suffered all of the penalty of my
sins and that You paid the full price so that there is no
more sin laid to my charge.
What love You manifested toward me, O Lord.
You were perfectly innocent. I was the guilty one. I
had broken God’s law. I should have been crucified. But
You loved me too much to let me die for my own sins. How
I thank You for taking my place and for paying my full
debt.
When You suffered my penalty, I was freed. There
remain no sins to condemn me, so there is now no reason
for me to be guilty before God. I can never be judged or
sentenced for the sins which You died for. They were
judged in You, Lord. All of my sins and old nature were
put on Your account and You paid it all for me.
Now all of Your spotless righteousness is put to my
account, so that I am now redeemed and saved.
Lord, I believe on Jesus Christ.
I do, here and now, welcome You into my heart as my
Savior from sin, from hell, and from all the power of the
devil.
I accept You, Jesus, as Lord of my life. I have come to
You with all my heart, as a helpless, guilty sinner,
seeking salvation, and trusting only in Your blood.
I trust that the blood of Jesus Christ blots out every
sin and transgression from my life.
I trust that I am saved, by calling on the name of the
Lord.
So from this day, I trust in what You did for me at the
cross. It is enough. I am saved because of what You did for
me. Nothing can ever improve my salvation.
I am now saved.
Thank You, Lord, for my full salvation.
I am redeemed. My sins are forgiven. I am saved. I
believe on Jesus Christ. I trust in all You have done for
me. It is enough. I am at peace. I am free from guilt and
condemnation. I am a Christian—a follower of Jesus
Christ, the Son of God.
Praise the Lord. Jesus saves me now.
From this moment, I shall strive to follow You and to
share the Good News with others so that they can receive
Your life too.
Amen.
If you believe the Bible promises contained in this book and if
you have sincerely prayed and received Jesus into your life by
faith, then your sins are forgiven.Col.1:14 An angel is recording
your name in the Lamb’s book of life,Rev.21:27 right now. Only
believe. Jesus lives in you now. Gal.2:20 You have His life.1Jn.5:12
Registering your decision will be a lasting testimony of
your personal experience today. If your enemy, the devil, ever
tries to make you doubt what has taken place, you will refer to
the decision you recorded this day, and know that you have
received the abundant life of Jesus Christ and have been born
again.
As an act of faith, register your decision on the next page.
Be definite about it. Receiving Christ as your Savior is the
greatest miracle of your life.
MY DECISION
Today I have read this book,
GOD’S LIFE IN YOU. I have sincerely
and reverently prayed the prayer that
is written here.
I believe I have received Jesus
Christ in my own life and that I am
reborn with His life. I commit my life to
do my best to please Him in all that I
think and say and do. With His grace
and help, I shall share Jesus Christ
with others.
Relying on Him to keep me by His
grace, I have made this decision today
— in Jesus’ name.
Signature:________________

The MISSION Of Christianity

OSBORN MINISTRY REVIEW

THE GLOBAL MISSION of Christianity


is to witness of Christ and of His
resurrection to the entire world— to every
creature.Mk.16:15

The Apostle Paul said, Whoever shall call on the name of


the Lord shall be saved.Rom.10:13
T.L. and Daisy Osborn shared a worldwide ministry
together for over five decades, before her demise in 1995. T.L.
resolved to continue his global ministry to multitudes.
The Osborn daughter, Dr. LaDonna, assumed a prominent
role in the leadership of the Osborns’ world ministry. As the
fame of her preaching ministry spread, she continued being
involved in public mass evangelism Festivals of Faith and
Miracles and/or trans-evangelical Gospel Seminars in fields of
the world such as Indonesia, nations of French-speaking
Africa, South America, Eurasia and the world’s most populous
nation, China.
As CEO of OSBORN Ministries International, Dr.
LaDonna’s expertise is making possible the expansion of this
ministry in nations around the world. Learn more about the
Osborn Global Outreaches through their website at osborn.org
Drs. T.L., Daisy and LaDonna Osborn have reached
millions for Christ in over a hundred nations during more than
six decades. This ministry-brief is included here to inspire
young believers that they, too, can carry the gospel torch into
all the world.Mk.16:15

Mass Miracle Evangelism


Tommy Lee Osborn and Daisy Marie Washburn were
married in Los Banos, California in 1942, at the ages of 17 and
18. In 1945 they went to India as missionaries but were unable
to convince the people of these ancient religions—Muslims
and Hindus—about Christ. They had not yet discovered the
truths about healing miracles. They returned to the USA
dismayed and disheartened—but not dissuaded.
Soon after their demoralizing return home, the Lord
appeared to them both, at different times, as they searched for
the answer to their dilemma.

They began to discover the Bible truths that create


faith for biblical miracles.
They had learned in India that for people of non-
Christian nations to believe the gospel, they must
witness miracle proof that Jesus Christ is alive today.
They discovered that signs, miracles and wonders are
essential to convincing non-Christian nations about the
gospel.

Jesus was…approved of God among people


by miracles and wonders and signs, which
God did by Him in the midst of the
people.Ac.2:22

These dynamic truths created in their spirits fresh faith in


God’s Word. With this new lease on life and having discovered
the scriptural facts about miracles they, along with their
children, re-launched their soulwinning saga in 1949—this time
in the Caribbean island-nation of Jamaica.
During thirteen weeks of ministry there, hundreds of
biblical miracles confirmed their preaching.

Over a hundred deaf-mutes were healed;


Over ninety totally blind people received sight;
Hundreds of crippled, paralyzed and lame people were
restored;
Most important of all, nearly ten thousand souls
received Jesus Christ as their Savior.

That success motivated their new global ministry,


proclaiming the gospel to multitudes. In the era when
developing nations were mostly colonized by European
governments, the Osborns pioneered the concept of Mass
Miracle Evangelism. Such methods had not been witnessed
since the epoch of the Early Church. T.L. and Daisy addressed
audiences of tens of thousands throughout the dangerous
years of nationalism when the awakening of many developing
nations was repulsing foreign political domination.
Their example inspired national men and women, globally,
to arise from their restrictive past, and to become leading
gospel messengers and church builders in the unevangelized
nations of the world. Many of them are numbered among the
most distinguished and successful Christian leaders today.
The largest churches in the world are no longer in America
or Europe. Anointed and talented national pastors are raising
them up. Single churches in Africa seat 50,000 plus people. To
God be the glory.
Drs. T.L. and Daisy’s partial testimony is recorded for
posterity in their 512 page unique pictorial, THE GOSPEL
ACCORDING TO T.L. AND DAISY.

Global Evangelism Concepts


During T.L. and Daisy’s unprecedented years as an
evangelism team, they inaugurated numerous programs to
reach the unreached. Their concept of National Missionary
Assistance resulted in them sponsoring over 30,000 national
preachers as full time missionaries to unevangelized tribes and
villages where new, self-supporting churches became
established globally.
The Osborn literature is published in more than 130
languages. Their DocuMiracle crusade films, audio and video
CDs and DVDs, and their digital productions (including Bible
courses), are produced in over 70 languages and are circulated
around the world.
They have provided airlifts and huge shipments of
literature and of soulwinning tools for gospel ministries abroad.
They have furnished scores of four-wheel drive vehicles
equipped with films, projectors, screens, generators, public-
address systems, audiocassettes and cassette players, plus
literature for reaching the unreached.

Publishing The Gospel


Dr. Daisy’s five major books are pacesetters in Christian
literature for women— unique examples of inclusive language
that consistently addresses both men and women.
Dr. T.L. has authored over 20 major books. He wrote his
first, HEALING THE SICK, during their mission to Jamaica in
1950. Now in its 46th edition, it is a global favorite, used as a
Bible School text book in many nations.
The publisher calls HEALING THE SICK— A Living
Classic—a faith-building best seller since 1950. Over a million
copies are in print, circulating healing truth throughout the
world.
Dr. LaDonna’s book, GOD’S BIG PICTURE is published in
scores of languages and is heralded globally as the single most
important book to make clear the story of the Bible, from
Genesis to Revelation. Through this book, people discover
their place in God’s plan.
Some of her other books, such as CHAOS OF MIRACLES
and UNKNOWN BUT NOT FORGOTTEN are modern day
accounts of Christ’s ministry in action through her today as
she ministers the gospel among some of the world’s unreached
masses.

Their Global Saga


In T.L.’s ninth decade of life, the Osborn Ministries
International continues to expand. Following Daisy’s demise,
T.L. has continued his global evangelism crusades, and his
daughter, Dr. LaDonna, has enlarged her ministries of
evangelism and training to nearly every continent as she
carries the torch of the gospel into this century’s new frontiers.
Like the Apostle Paul, LaDonna says:

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,


for it is the power of God to salvation to
everyone who believes.Rom.1:16

She believes that:


The World is the Heart of the Church,
The Church is the Hope of the World.
She contends that:
Without the World, the Church is meaningless—
Without the Church, the World is hopeless.

Colonialism
Nationalism
Globalism/Evangelism
Dr. LaDonna Osborn knows the ministry of World
Evangelism. Since childhood, she has lived on the front lines of
global SOULWINNING—from the days of colonialism,
through the turbulent years of nationalism, and into this
century of globalism, mass evangelism and national and
international Church growth.
The Osborns hold forth these simple truths:

1. That the Bible is as valid today as it ever was;


2. That the divine calling for every believer is to witness
of Christ to the unconverted;
3. That every soul won to Christ can become His
representative; and
4. That miracles, signs and wonders are what distinguish
Christianity from being just another philosophical
religion.

To demonstrate these biblical issues is the essence of the


global MISSION of Christianity.
Just as with the Apostle Paul, Dr. LaDonna and Dr. T.L.
state:
The ministry we have received of the Lord is to testify
to the gospel of the grace of God; Ac.20:24 to preach the
gospel in the regions beyond.2Cor.10:16
The history of the Osborn Ministries International is also
recorded in their unique and historical 24-volume
EncycloBiographical Anthology. It contains more than 23,000
pages, 30,946 photos, 636 Faith Digest magazines, 2,024 pages
of personal, hand-written diary notes, 1,011 pages of Osborns’
news letters, 1,062 pages of unpublished historical data about
their world ministry, 2,516 world mission reports, and 6,113
Christian ministry reports.
These 24 giant tomes span over six feet of shelf space and
have taken their place in the archives and libraries of
institutions of higher learning around the world, including such
renowned universities and libraries as: University of
Cambridge, Cambridge, England; University of Oxford, Oxford,
England; Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, USA; British
Library, London, England; Central Bible College, Springfield,
USA; Christ for the Nations, Dallas, USA; Fuller Theological
Seminary, Pasadena, USA; Messenger College, Joplin, USA;
National Library, Sofia, Bulgaria; ORU, Tulsa, USA;

Université Omar Bongo, Libreville, Gabon; University of Wales,
Bangor, Wales; Vernadsky National Library, Kiev, Ukraine;
Word of Life, Uppsala, Sweden; (plus many more), and the
archives of many leading denominational headquarters.
The Osborns’ continuing passion:
To express and propagate the gospel of Jesus
Christ to all people throughout the world.
Their tenet for action:
No one deserves to hear the gospel repeatedly
before everyone has heard it at least once.
Their motto:
One Way—Jesus;
One Job—Evangelism.
Their guiding principle:
Every Christian believer— a witness for Christ.
The witness is expressed best by the words of the
Apostle John:
We bear record of the Word of God, and of the
testimony of Jesus Christ, and of the things that we have
seen.Rev.1:2 We…testify of these things and have written
them: and we know that our testimony is true.Jn. 21:24
