memo: Matthew
Matthew 5:6...Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
The Matthew 5:6 Project's goal is to meet the teaching needs of churches in poverty-stricken countries world-wide. These church leaders can not obtain the materials needed to witness with and to teach their new converts. In order to help them, we collect old, outdated, but usable, Sunday School literature and other inspirational literature and send it free of charge to them. This project has been in operation since June 2008 and so far we assist several churches in three countries with teaching materials.
Emails come pouring in weekly of new churches and people in need of teaching materials. We in the United States are fortunate and blessed to be able to worship freely and to acquire easily whatever teaching materials we need. Sometimes though, we tend to forget how things could be and take things for granted. Take time to just pause and think, how it would be if your church had nothing to teach you or your children about Christ with. No Sunday School class, training hour or a VBS. How would you feel? What if the only teaching you did receive was by word of mouth... nothing to take home and study... nothing to use for a reference? Wouldn't it be odd? It's nothing like we're used to. In some countries, basic knowledge of Christ is all they have. No in-depth study for Christian Workers and Church Leaders to enrich their congregations with. And you know it's important ... that is why we have Sunday School, VBS, Training Union Hour and seminaries....so our people can be empowered with knowledge when going out to face the real world. And, the need is the same with them.
What can you do?
First of all, please pray for this Project to be a success. There are many needs to be filled. Many hurting churches...many hurting people...all desiring knowledge.
Next, look in your closets...do you have any old out-dated Sunday School Books? Talk to your church, they may have bundles of old Sunday School books or past VBS materials, just collecting dust. Do you have a local Christian publishing company? If so, they may love to clear out their inventory. Please donate them to this cause.
It is a win-win situation....Knowledge-IN, land-fill clutter-OUT!
And please, consider a monetary donation to defer shipping cost. The average cost range for shipment of one flat rate priority box, which holds 25-40 Sunday School books, (depending on the size and shape), going overseas, is $42.95-$52.95.
And always, your donation is tax deductible.
Go Deeper! If your church wants to become more involved in Missions, then consider sending materials direct to them. We can supply all the necessary information you need to do so and we are positive that they would love to have some new friends. Have your pastor contact us to set this up.
All Your prayers, donations and gifts are appreciated greatly.
