Keeping Eternity in RE-View (January)
We started 2022 with a challenge--to look at your life as a book that contains 12 chapters and 365 pages. How are you doing with your book? I am taking the challenge myself. Let's review some of the January topics that I have chosen to be in my book:
• Printing projects for churches/ministries (13) and individuals (07)
• Printing donated to USA church plants and mission works = 1,000 pieces
• 2021 Review of Amazon River Basin and Caribbean ministries:
In 2021 we had one of our best years of outreach. 591 received Christ as their Savior, 300 were discipled, and 47 followed the Lord in believer's baptism.
• Little Messages / Tracts printed = 8,500
• EDDM mailings = 000 homes, 000 businesses
• Tracts personally handed out = 30
• Encouraged believers = 17 occasions
• New books (paperback & hardcover) and eBooks published = 9
- A Comparative Study of the Anabaptist and English Baptist Movements, written by Dan Nelson
- Fayard's Notes on THE REVELATION, written by Cecil Fayard
- The Blinding of America, written by Jim Croley III, MD, Eye Surgeon
- TIBURÓN, written by Edward Holsclaw II
- The McSqaw Gang, written by Chloe Tuten
- The Trail Ahead, written by Dave Smith
• Design work (book and eBook) for other publishers = 2
- Four Weeks with God and Your Neighbor, written by Jay Adams
• Key verses and promises from God's Word that I claimed in January:
Psalm 34:3, O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. --
Psalm 37:4-6,Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

These aren't all the topics that I could be writing about, but they fall in line with the content of the newsletter's goals. Thinking through these topics is rewarding and challenging; I've never done anything like this before. It is humbling to see what God is doing as we trust in Him and commit our way unto the Lord. Try this, you will like the rewards--it might grow on you.

FEBRUARY IS HERE!
What does the Lord have in store for you and me in February? You will have 28 days to work on the next chapter of your life. What will you be doing this month to magnify His name?
I won't take the time to highlight our Little Messages for this month again. But, here is a tract that you need to know about, God Really Loves You! It is so easy to tell people about God's love for them, especially around Valentines Day. Don't limit yourself to February, it has a message that has no time limit.
GOD REALLY LOVES YOU!
The decision to magnify Him...
... during February is in your hands! I can't wait to see what He does in and through our lives while Keeping Eternity in View! What an honor it is to serve Him, don't you agree? Do you have a testimony to share when it comes to using our materials or services? Let us know, and we will share it next month, Lord willing.
We all need to make wise decisions throughout 2022. Ephesians 5:15 encourages us to, See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. Perhaps you can encourage others to make a wise decision with the following gospel tract.
DECISION 2022, GOSPEL TRACT
As you hand this to people, they might think you are giving them a political brochure. SURPRISE!!!
Instead, it will confront them with the most crucial decision they will make in their lifetime. Like our other tracts, you will find Decision 2022 is easy to distribute, especially since this is a year when we need to make decisions.
Opportunities for March
We have been asked to present the Church Ministry Solutions ministry at a church's annual missions conference, March 23-27. We would appreciate your prayer as we prepare for this exceptional opportunity. More information will follow, so you know how to pray more intelligently.
We would also be honored to present our ministry at your church. If you have a scheduled speaker that cancels out on you we may be able to help. Contact us if you are interested.
Easter will be here before you know it, April 17
Easter is one of the top religious holidays* when the unchurched might think about attending a church service. On April 17, they could visit your church, but you need to let them know that you are there. NOW is the time to plan on reaching out to your neighbors, before someone else does.
To help with your planning, we have some Little Messages, tracts, an EDDM mailing concept, a gift card, and promo cards that we have produced for Resurrection Sunday. You will not find some of these on our website (just the ones underlined in blue). A well-placed banner or yard signs on your church property would remind people about the special day.
NOTE: Talking to your pastor about promotional ideas as a layperson is wise. Don't do anything without your pastor's approval before you print something with your church's information on them. Pastors don't like surprises. If he says "No," to your idea, you should drop the matter. Period.
How can we serve you? Give us a call or send an email with your thoughts or questions (provided at the bottom of this newsletter).
* This would be the worldview of Easter, not ours.

EDDM: Every Door Direct Mailing
LITTLE MESSAGES
GOSPEL TRACTS
The middle panel is for your church information. Use the space to make it easy for first-time visitors to locate your church, when they should arrive, and how to contact you. We will help you with this design if you need it.

Testimonies from our readership
Send us your testimony about the ministry, and we will publish it. If you want it to be anonymous, don’t worry, we will make that happen.
Allen Griffith (who was featured in January)
It is a blessing to reflect what the Lord has done with and through Faithful Life Publishers and Church Ministry Solutions. When I think of Biblical Family Ministries, it is most encouraging to envision what the Lord might do with the elements of our outreach that go far beyond where we could ever go personally. That is what I think of with your work. Who knows how the Lord might use a book, tract, Little Message, or other printed material that you produce? Only eternity will tell the story.

FAITHFUL LIFE PUBLISHERS: What a pleasure it has been to work with Jim and Una in the publishing of my four books. Not only did they support from a technical position, but also provided great mental inspiration to help bring it all together. With their help, we obtained a “#1 Amazon New Release” status for one of our titles. This would never have occurred without their efforts. In today’s world, it’s unusual to find people with the honesty and integrity that Jim and Una possess and I count it a great privilege to now call them great friends! They are a treasure indeed!!
Home Going of Dale Byers
Our third newsletter, posted on October 5, 2021, presented an outline from one of Faithful Life Publisher's authors, Dale Byers. We are sorry to say that he passed away on January 26. Dale's wife, Betty, is pictured with him. Please pray for the surviving family members during their time of loss. We sorrow but not for him as we know he is experiencing his highest joy. See you soon, my friend.
Your 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.
Would you pray about supporting our ministry? CMS provides FREE TRACTS (as we are able) to new church plants in the United States, missionary endeavors in Caribbean countries, and along the Amazon River Basin in Brazil.
We are grateful for the gifts and encouragement that came in last month. We absolutely could not do this without you. We thank you in advance for your prayer and financial support.
