This is what all our lives should only be about – giving honor and glory to God for who He is and the great things He has done. And this is exactly why we, here at CWO do what we do; “uniting women of faith” so that we may fellowship, exhort and edify one another in Christ, all the more as we see the Day approaching. One of the ways we desire to fulfill this great calling from God is to bring you stories that will inspire you to drink deeper into the well-spring of life – the Lord Jesus Christ. In an effort to stay abreast of all the media resources God has provided His children to further the Gospel, CWO will continue to stretch our faith, get out of our comfort zones and be willing to go and do as the Lord leads.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness. –1 Chronicles 16:29
With this in mind, I’m so ecstatically excited to introduce to you, our March cover story, Trish Ramos from Living Waters Publications/The Way of the Master ministries…caught on tape! Yes, you read that right. This interview is CWO’s very first video-interview! And WOW! Does this sister love our Lord Jesus as she only lives for the very reason why He came: seeking to save the lost, and restoring them to a right relationship with God the Father.
Trish not only works for Living Waters Publications/Way of the Master ministries, has a regular segment on Wretched Radio with Todd Friel every Thursday, but is also blessed by God with her own ministry called, Fish with Trish. Recently, she has been asked to be a guest on Faith 2 Action with Janet Porter, Life! Line with Craig Roberts (San Francisco), KFAX LIVE! With Andy Froiland (Texas) and Ambassadors’ Alliance Radio with Tony Miano. God is truly using our wonderful sister Trish to speak into the hearts of His daughters to compassionately and boldly take His Gospel to the utter ends of earth (your neighborhoods, children’s schools, grocery stores, fast food drive-thru’s, etc.).
Our interview was taped at The University of North Texas campus. There are two parts to the interview. Part 1 – our sister Trish shares her heart, her ministry to women and her deep passion for the lost, plus some incredibly easy evangelism tips and so much more! Part 2 – you will get to see Trish in action as we catch her on tape, witnessing to two college girls! And to top it all off, Trish is offering a very generous and eternally focused, purse give-away!
Trish Ramos – Way of the Master (Part 1)
Trish Ramos – Way of the Master (Part 2)
Here are a couple of two really important points Trish made that didn’t quite make it on tape:
- Women have an advantage over men when it comes to passing out Gospel tracts or witnessing one-2-one. Women have a wider audience (men, women, teens, children) and are less intimidating than men.
- If you’re really scared, then at least purchase and pass out Gospel tracts. Gospel tracts do not succumb to fear, they are impartial, they don’t argue with people, they never grow weary and unlike you, they can go home with a person.
You can pass them out, or you can leave them places, i.e., bathrooms, lobby’s at hospitals, include one every time you mail a bill, etc.

I would welcome these resources!!!
The bag looks awesome! Thanks for this link and your encouragement!
Hi, my husband and dad are headed to Rome, Israel, and Jordan tomorrow. We go on door on ‘door knocking’ or invitation walks in the neighborhood. Dad says it would be cool for me to have a purse like that but I need to keep it filled up. One of his favorite bible tracts are $50 dollar bills, off-sized, folded in half and leave them laying around by cash registers, ATMs, and pinball machines. שלום
I love Trish! She is just an inspiration and encouragement to me! My sisters and I all read her blog and listen to her on Way of the Master Radio (archives).
This was a very encouraging interview! I’m in the midst of a Lent study, looking at ways that I can personally share Christ with others. I had NEVER thought about tracts… What a great idea. Now, I just have to figure out how to get some. Maybe I’ll win the bag!
This interview was great and so timely as the Lord daily reminds me of the urgency to share our faith.
This for a chance on the tract bag.It may not look right over my shoulder, but when my wife and I are in store she usually has me hold her purse for her anyway.
Bonjour Trish!
It was a pleasure to meet you and Liz on Sunday. I will continue to pray for your sister-in-law.
I am entering here for the tract handbag. This would be great! Thanks!
I love Trish’s ministry and her heart on reaching the lost. She is a wonderful example to all of us. Thanks for all you do Trish.
I am entering to win tracts to spread the Gospel. This handbag is much nicer than the bag I am using now LOL.
Thanks for puting the bag and tracts up as a give away. I would love to get all of that stuff. I was thinking today that I need a different purse to accomodate tracts better.
Casie
Thanks Trish!
I love listening to you om Wretched Radio!!!
wish I could watch the videos, but I only have dial up…
Thanks Trish for all you do! I know this contest thing is a random drawing but want to win it for my wife!
I always love seeing the heart Trish has for the lost. Seeing evangelism done by other women really helps so much and encourages me to keep sharing and never give up!
Ladies, love your comments. So glad to hear that many of you are challenged and convicted to do something. This brings great joy to my heart. I’m deeply grateful to our Lord that many of you have been inspired to get some tracts to distribute.
And Craig, that is too cool that you entered..even if you are the only guy here. Oh actually, I think I found one more on the list (Joe. Too cool.
I heading for Brookfield, CT this weekend for a speaking engagement. I will be speaking 4+ times in 2 days…for ladies, youth and children. Appreciate all your prayers for this.
God bless you all!

Prov 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.
Trish,
I love the boldness that God has given you. I pray for the same in my life and many others.
Jason
My wife and I are keeping you in our prayers Trish! Keep up the good fight for our lost friends.
Brian
Great idea! I have piles of tracts here and there, and wouldn’t you know it, I was at the McDonald’s drive up the other day, and did not have one! I had the “wrong” purse with me. arrrgh. I am trying to make sure that I have tracts in every purse and my gym bag and brief case so that I always have something to give away. Trish, you are such an inspiration for a scaredy-cat who needs to witness and wants to witness, but does not witness enough.
Wow! What an awesome oppurtunity – I wish I had more people like you close to me. Sometimes it gets hard to stay in the Word when there is so much to pollute the good!
you guys are awesome- wish I could meet you and the guys sometime. you really inspire us.
I would love love love to win this! Thank you for the opportunity… and for interviewing Trish. I just love her.
Heyy! Trish is Amazing! Praise God for what she does! I look up to Trish alot as a teenage girl, and I pray alot for her, and Sovjoy!
mm the purse looks great, and has plenty of pockets for tracts! Yay!
Praying for you, Trish!
Jessica
This is an awesome giveaway you’re doing! God bless you Trish as you continue your work!
Trish, you are a true example for us!!! Thank you for everything
Hi Trish,
(I still would LOVE to win it) I love using tracts. I travel alot and save up magazines for trips, after I finish reading them I slip a tract in and offer it to another passenger or flight attendant. Recycling and fishing at the same time! 
Thank you for all you are doing for God’s Kingdom! I am truly proud to be you sister in Christ! Your giveaway looks like my current handbag stuffed full of tracts
Awesome stuff! Please enter me in the contest
Wow! I am so encouraged that I had to scroll past so many posts! Praise the LORD for His laborers! Thank you, Trish, for your encouraging ministry for the glory of Christ! What a blessing that we can all be connected through the internet!
I found a very important video on the Evangelism Team YouTube channel about having a balance in our Christian life between serving the church, family, evangelism, etc. It really convicted me. I hope you all have time to watch it because it is something we don’t hear too often.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/evangelismteam and watch the Tip of the Week (March 2-8, 2009).
God bless you all!
Trish,
I am greatly encouraged by your boldness to proclaim Jesus Christ to a lost & dying world! I am a Realtor & have found my work to be my ministry more than a job.
I also am taking college courses at a local university (and my son is a freshman there as well) and have been blown away by the atheist view points that gush from so many professors in the classrooms, especially the freshman courses that are required. I have been a Christian for a long time & I know the Word, so I have had no problem speaking up in classes. Needless to say, several professors have been challenged by my speaking up. Kids, though, are afraid to speak up & I encourage them to GET IN THE WORD–”study to show themselves approved…rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” Tracts are an easy witnessing tool and I have enjoyed looking at all your “reach out” ideas!
Thank you again, for your boldness and desire to help others become “fishers of men”! MK
Wow! I have seen Trish’s videos on giving out tracts at fast food drive thorugh and this video was great! I’m trying to get out with my tracts and speak to people. I definitely do leave them where I can!
Thank you, Trish!
What an inspiration! That’s for the great tools.
Keep on talking and trackin’ Trish. Super ideas too. Thank you for your dedication and inspiration.
I would like to win the Tracts, the Handbag I give to mi wife, Last week I finished reading The Way of the Master book is awesome and with this Tracts would be very helpful to start evangelizing on the streets. God bless you Trisha. Good Work.
Hey your web is totaly cool. I love it.
First I’d like to thank everyone for their comments. May the Lord God bless you all as you heed to His Word and incline your ears to His every whisper.
Many of you have commented on the quality of this interview and how much you were blessed that it was a video interview. This video interview was totally God’s idea and only by His generous outpouring of wisdom, knowledge and strength was this done. I have NEVER been involved in a video interview, nor have I ever edited one. God is glorious!
How awesome it is, that we, who are yet but dust, can ever participate in God’s glorious work of redemption. Thank You Jesus.
“What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD, I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. ~ Psalm 116:12-13
@ Sarah Cecilia: go to http://www.wayofthemaster.com or http://livingwaters.com to obtain all the resources to teach you how to evangelize biblically and effectively. Many have mentioned reading Way of the Master, I also highly recommend that. This is how Trish, me and many who commented here, learned how to stay true to the Gospel Jesus preached and not the watered-down, seeker-friendly version of man.
@ Pamela: I’ve been very ill for the past 5 years and spend a LOT of my time in hospitals and dr.’s offices. So, I’m with you sister!
I’ve found hospitals to be fabulous places to have one-2-ones as well as hand out or leave tracts. Hospitals have literature racks and I leave “Hell’s Best Kept Secret/True and False Conversion” CD’s on those racks as well as my all time fav, “How to Live Forever Without Being Religious.” I encourage you to do the same. 
@ Michelle: I’m so humbled that the Lord chose to use this interview to edify you! Truth be known, the Lord our God did ALL the work, Trish and I (and her husband Emilio, who did the camera work) just showed up for duty!
@ Crystal Van Bonn: Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Glory be to God alone. Btw, it was also TOTALLY God’s idea to put the Scriptures on the videos…He just chose to use my keyboard.
God is generous!
@ Jenifer: Amen sister!
@ Sue: Amen and amen! THIS is exactly why God put it on my heart to do the interview this way: for if Jesus to be lifted up, He will draw all men to Himself [John 3:14].
@ Linda Rankin: I love you my dear friend and sister. ♥
@ Carey: Ditto!
@ Kristen: Sister, you put a smile on my face!
Abiding in the Son, tends to give anyone a “sunny” disposition. 
I’m sure you have one too! 
@ Marcey Daniel: Bless you dear sister.
@ Theresa: I used to have the same problem. Solution: I only use 2 purses (1-spring/summer, 1-fall/winter) and I keep them both stocked with tracts and CD’s at all times. I also purchased a tract wallet from LW so my tracts don’t get crumbled in my purse. I also load my car with tracts so I can hand them out quicker at drive thru’s or when I see employees out for a break in parking lots and such.
@ Andrea Burkhardt: WOW, this is fabulous! Thank you for sharing this link! I was completely blessed! Too often I’ve seen Satan use evangelism as a way to bring division b/t husbands and wives as I know many who witness w/o their husbands and w/o their blessing. Truly, we must find our balance in Christ and not in our own passions for Him. Thank you so much Andrea for this link! Bless you!
Oh, I also highly recommend everyone purchase the Evidence Bible. It’s an incredible resource with Scriptures (that are highlighted) to help cast out your fears, exhort you and teach you how to answer with Scripture for the hope you have in Christ Jesus our Lord. I absolutely LOVE my Evidence Bible my darling husband bought for me last year for my birthday!
I hope all these additional resources help you to honor God and attribute all glory and praise to Him as you strive to exalt the name of Jesus.
“If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.” ~ C.T. Studd
Hey Trish! Went to your meeting this a.m. at Brookfield Assembly. Enjoyed your presentation-what a great speaker you are! You inspired my friends and I to start giving out tracks for JESUS.
We went to Chili’s on our way home, left some tracks in the ladies room and gave one to our waiter. Later, we stuck one in the gas pump. SO FUN!!
Thanks for the great message and a new outlook on evan-JOY-lism!
p.s. Remember to try and find the 8 reasons I don’t Evangelize clip so we can download – we laughed until we cried!
Thanks for the encouragement for sharing our faith. Its always inspiring to see people witnessing and giving out tracts. God bless you all.
Hey Trish!!! I had so much fun at Uth Saturday night. I had a great b-day and I really enjoyed hearing you speak.I am really looking forward to giving out these tracts and maybe bringing some people to Christ. Your speaking at Uth really opened my eyes to the fact that some people in my family( my grandpa) might not have until tomorrow so I have got to start now. Thx Maria
I would really like to win this for my mother… Trish and Liz just came to our church here in CT, and we all loved them. They have done such a great job with our congregation and kids. They spoke at our women’s convention, our youth group (I’m a youth leader), to our congregation, and our Children’s Church on Sunday. They are truly great witnesses to non-Christian’s and Christians alike. Liz and Trish really inspired several kids from my youth group as well as myself, and I can only say thank you for their help and we will surely meet again soon. (here or in the air)
Thanks again,
Paul C.
Hi Trish!! I got the chance to hear you speak this Saturday at Assembly of God church in Brookfield, CT. Thank you so much for coming! You’re such an encouragement, especially since I’ve only been saved a couple years and am still trying to find ways to witness to people in my life. I never really thought about talking to everyone about Christ, rather than just the people that i am close to. I left Evan-joy-lism ready to go work for Christ and so excited for the next time I go to the drive-thru
Thanks for your honestly and your love for Jesus. It’d was a blessing to be able to hear you speak and learn how to witness even more. Thanks!!
