Randall Klynsma

ev. Randall Klynsma (1989) serves as Pastor at Omaha Reformed Church (RCUS). One of the projects he has been working on is entitled The Complete Gospel: Biblical Faith as Summarized in the Creeds of the Early Church and the Heidelberg Catechism. In the Lord’s providence, the project has reached a new milestone.

The Complete Gospel was developed as a low-cost, creedally-based evangelistic tool. It was designed for those new to the faith who want to understand the basics of Christianity and the Reformed Faith. It consists of the three ancient creeds and the Heidelberg Catechism with an evangelistic introduction. The booklet describes what faithful Christians have believed through the ages. The Heidelberg Catechism can serve as an excellent discipleship tool. The Synod of Dort endorsed it when they said, “...the Heidelberg Catechism is in all respects in harmony with the Word of God” and “an admirably composed compendium of the orthodox Christian doctrine.”

The Complete Gospel is available in four languages: English, Spanish, Afrikaans, and Ukrainian. The project has facilitated 1000 copies to be printed in Ukraine. One of the goals is to make digital copies of the Complete Gospel available in the top ten languages in the world. They distribute all the translations in open source and facilitate self-printing anywhere and everywhere.

Over 23,500 copies have been printed, some of them for less than $.50 a copy. Thousands of copies have been sent to foreign countries. T his project has been self-sustaining. The copies are disseminated individually and in bulk for free. Donations have helped cover the cost of production and shipping. Initially, they asked a few individuals to help underwrite the initial cost of printing the first 3,000 copies. By the time they distributed them and needed to print more, they had received enough donations for the second printing of 7,000 copies (5,000 in English and 2,000 in Spanish). The same was true for their third printing. They recently received their third shipment of 10,500 copies (7,500 in English and 3,000 in Spanish). The future is bright for additional funding to print more copies.
