A 70-year-old member of Townsville Adventist church has sold more than $A3000 worth of Christian books and DVDs over the past eight months. He has also given away more than 500 Christian DVDs, videos, books and Bibles.

Raymond Brooks started out as a literature evangelist but health concerns soon prevented him from selling books door to door. After a short stint selling books at the Townsville markets, Mr Brooks approached the four major shopping centres in Townsville and has been selling Christian literature there since January.

"The purpose is to distribute our literature, DVDs and videos to as many people as we can," says Mr Brooks. "It's revitalised my life. I was getting a bit stale at 70, thinking I couldn't do anything."
