The Forge
Newsletter - 4th Quarter 2011
Well, winter’s upon us, 2012 is here and it's
time to reflect on 2011.
In spite of the rough economic times we all
face the Ministry was able to send out 3,890 items in 2011.
The sluggish economy has affected this
Ministry as well.
Contributions of used materials has
tapered off and the yearly monetary giving total, which offsets
shipping costs, was roughly half of what it was for 2010.
Although we were able to continue to supply
material to the prison system in the southern states and handle
requests made in the U.S., because domestic shipping costs are far
cheaper than international shipping costs are, our international
shipments suffered because of it in 2011.
Those who have never gotten involved with this
Ministry can do so for as little as a dollar a month.
When you hear stories like the following how can
one turn a deaf ear?
“Brother Greg,
Blessings to you and the entire Builder of the
Spirit family.
I would like to take the time once more
to thank you and the entire Ministry for what you're doing for the
body of Christ.
Here in western Kenya your Ministry has
touched so many lives and we really appreciate it.
We have been distributing the Bibles
that you have been sending to us.
People are in need of this precious
book, the Bible.
We have been doing house to house
evangelism and open air outreaches and the need is just so great.
Please, we are in need of more Bibles
and books.
Meanwhile we will continue praying for
you and the entire Ministry.
May God enlarge you and multiply you
more.
Pastor Fred”
We’re confident we’re on the right track, for
we’re making a difference in the lives of others and isn't that what
Ministry is really all about?
Our vision is to develop the Ministry into a
logistics service.
The need is oh so great, if only we
could look past self.
The poor are in need of many things,
food, water, medicine, shelter and most certainly the hope found in
God's Word.
Be resolved this year of 2012, strive to do
more.
It's within our power to help the
hopeless, if only we dare care.
Items shipped in 2011: 3,890
Material in stock: Used Books / Bibles - 170 cases
Get involved; be a
part for as little as a dollar a month.
