Our History

Began Tract Ministry

In 1974 what was know as Soul Winning Ministries, began a tract ministry in Hollywood, FL with, Why Didn’t Someone Tell Me? written by Stan Ponz and A Christmas to Remember written by Carol Ponz. Gene Ledbetter a night school student at Florida Bible College who worked for a national paper company had unused paper that was to be discarded. So instead of discarding the paper we decided to print tracts.
