GLOBAL BOOK SALES and ROYALTIES:

• GLOBAL BOOK SALES IN APRIL: Australia, India, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, & the United States
• You might wonder how we sell books in other countries. We have physical distribution & print-in-market solutions because we have signed contracts in 27 countries. We can market, sell, print, and deliver our books in English to these countries. Not all countries may let "religious" books into their country. But, the process is all set and ready to go for those countries that do.
• A customer (let's say a missionary) goes to the Amazon website to place their order in the country where they serve. Once the order is placed, the books are printed in that country and mailed directly to the customer.
• Royalties from international sales come to us monthly. We keep track of each author's sales and send them a check. Or, an author might choose to have their royalties applied toward printing more books they need for themselves.
• Maybe they would prefer to purchase additional services which we offer. Services include marketing materials (business cards, flyers, bookmarks, posters, stand-up signage, etc.). We can also advertise their book(s) in monthly publications that go to thousands of brick and mortar bookstores and libraries here in the states.
• We charge a very reasonable accounting fee of $1.00 per book sold to keep track of each author's monthly royalty profits.

PERSONAL OUTREACH:

• Tracts personally handed out = 20
• Encouraged believers = 134

Winkler Road Baptist Church presentation

We are honored to serve the Lord through the publishing of His Word in various ways (books, eBooks, Little Message tracts, CMS tracts, newsletters, mailings, etc.). On Sunday night, April 3, I presented our new slide presentation to our sending church, Winkler Road Baptist Church. Many in attendance, even some online friends, let us know that they were encouraged by our ministry report.

Our presentation came at an excellent time for Winkler Road because, during the month of APRIL, the church is keeping track of how many tracts they are passing out. Winkler planned several special events during April, which gave the congregation incentive to be active in reaching the lost for Christ. An ample amount of Easter tracts, Little Messages, and other tracts were on hand to give out.

Are you Keeping Eternity in View? For Easter, April 17, an EDDM mailing was designed and mailed by Church Ministry Solutions within a one-mile radius of Winkler. The mailing reached over 8,000 homes and 500 businesses with an invitation to attend the Resurrection Day's services (Sunrise service, Sunday School, Morning and Evening Worship Services).

Ministered at Victory Baptist Church

On April 24, the Lord opened another opportunity to preach during the AM & PM church services of Victory Baptist Church in North Fort Myers, FL. Pastor John Matey allowed time to show the latest ministry presentation for Church Ministry Solutions. We left a nice supply of our Little Messages for the church to use as they reach their community for Christ.

Justin, a young blind man from Victory, offered to make our tracts available to the blind through a unique software program that he has.

We praise the Lord for opening doors for us to expand our outreach for Him.

JESUS CHRIST is the only HOPE for mankind

There is HOPE for mankind!

Mankind needs to know that there is Hope for them; if they would only trust Christ Jesus as their personal Savior. I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was a sophomore in high school. Someone took the time and made an effort to tell me about the Lord Jesus Christ. Otherwise, I may have never fully understood all that Christ did for me on the cross of Calvary. Who are you reaching out to today? Are you Keeping Eternity in View?

Following is the inside of the HERE IS HOPE tract in English.

THE BIBLE HAS THE ANSWER

Even as Christians, we can become consumed with issues that detract us from living a joyful, Christ-centered life. When problems of life weigh you down, you may find the following verses to be a blessing to you. You might want to write some, if not all, of these verses on a blank page in your Bible. Keep your focus; stay Christ-centered! Serve Him by telling others of their need to accept Christ as their personal Savior. Keep Eternity in View!

This is a 3:04 minute YouTube video highlighting their recent ministry in Haiti.

Medical Missions Outreach

Under the leadership of Captain Buddy Puryear, SEA HOPE set sail in 2019, reaching out to the islands of the Caribbean and coastal regions of Latin America. Their purpose is to provide evangelistic tools, Bibles, disaster relief, medical, dental, and eye clinic support for those in need. Everyone involved with SEA HOPE is a non-paid volunteer; there are no salaries or other compensation. Every dollar received goes directly towards the operation of SEA HOPE.

We will be providing four different tracts for them to use (Here is Hope in Spanish and English and the Smile, Jesus Loves You! folding tract in Spanish and English).

Comments from our Readership

Thank you for sharing Jim.

Great to see how God is blessing the ministry.

I like what you are doing - Lord bless!

Very well done and thorough. Thanks for all you do. Our whole church should read this.

Your love gift will go a long way

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

We received word that starting in May, another church will begin monthly financial support. PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Would you pray about regularly supporting our ministry? We need your help to reach these goals. As we are able, CMS provides FREE:

• MISSIONARY PRAYER CARDS (new venture)
• TRACTS to new church plants in the United States
• EDDM MAILING donations for new church plants (new venture)
• CMS DIRECT MAILING donations for new church plants (new venture)
• TRACTS for two missionary endeavors ministering to the islands of the Caribbean and the coastal regions of Latin America (in Spanish and English) and one along the Amazon River Basin (in Portuguese)

We freely provide these ministry tools as we are financially able. We would have done more in April but didn't have the necessary funds. Your financial support is needed and deeply appreciated.

We are very grateful for the gifts and encouragement that came in during April. Thank you in advance for your prayer, financial support, and encouragement. -
