December 2023 Newsletter
We continue to move forward ... with your prayer support! We can't thank you enough for the encouragement you have given us this year. Your uplifting support is deeply appreciated and needed!
Over the last year, we have printed and shipped over 300,000 tracts. Can you believe it? We are blessed by His grace.
November was an extremely busy month. This particular newsletter will be shorter than most. This issue has been delayed because we were trying to assist an author with uploading a revised cover design. The interior is complete. The author is traveling and unable to communicate with us about fixing the cover design. We couldn't wait any longer. Sorry for the delay.
December brings about a nice time of year. Rejoice in the Savior for His love for you.
Solutions to Serve the Savior are just a phone call away: 888.720.0950.
Lord bless, my friends!!!

Our tracts are having far-reaching results. Not only do we reach the United States, but we also ship to South America (the Amazon River territories) and the Caribbean. Now, we have requests from Nova Scotia. We changed some of our American flag images to Canadian and reworked the wording to make tracts more meaningful to Canadians. Of course, we provided our time to do this and paid for Canadian graphics to place on the tracts and Little Messages.
As I was writing this article, a second church in Nova Scotia wrote, asking for our tracts. This church is about three hours away from the previously mentioned church. The Lord is so gracious toward us!
We also sent 1.000 folded SMILE, God Loves You! tracts, even though an individual didn't have the necessary funds to purchase them. He has a great burden for lost souls. We wanted to be a blessing to him.
We are humbled and honored to provide these Church Ministry Solutions to bring honor and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.

... those who needed help with their graphic arts programs, especially Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. We can also assist with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint programs. By the way, we only use PC programs in our work. This is a monthly occurrence.
... every person with a printing project. We critique each job and always look for ways we can improve their print projects. If we find an issue, we will correct the customer's print project rather than return it (if possible). We make sure each print job is the right size (if the print goes to the edge, we make sure they added .125 inches, making a 4 x 6 job, 4.125 x 6.125) for bleed; move text when it is too close to the edge; and we change files if they were not submitted as RGB, instead of CMYK. The list of technical help goes on to ensure that each customer receives the best print job possible. We invest much time and effort into this and don't charge extra. Why? Because it is part of our ministry.
... any church or person that needs new tracts or Little Messages. We will place their contact information on them without charge.
... previous customers who need changes made to their last print job. We provide those changes for free.

God's Command to Repent
“REPENT YE THEREFORE, AND BE CONVERTED, THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT...” ACTS 3:19 KJV
Driving home from work tomorrow, you witness a serious car accident. Approaching the scene, you identify a passenger thrown from the vehicle who is unconscious, lying face first on the concrete, and bleeding profusely. Literally, this person’s life is hanging in the balance, with only minutes or seconds to live. Question, what do they have urgent need of? IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION! Spiritually, this is the predicament we’re all in, with only moments to spare! “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” James 4:14.
As judged, condemned, hellbound sinners, we stand in dire need of the Saviour’s mercy and redeeming grace! “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” Ephesians 1:7. Jesus Christ alone provides the remedy for the curse of man’s sin. What key unlocks the outpouring of His saving grace upon the souls of men? REPENTANCE AND FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST! “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” Luke 5:32.
Friend, this is the most critical and important need you will ever have. It surpasses the severity and urgency of the previous illustration. Yes, it is that important! As you read this book, please allow the Lord to reveal if true, soul-saving repentance has occurred inside your heart, and respond appropriately.
This new website continues to take better shape.

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
We can't tell you how much these two verses have come to mean to us. The verses help us to focus properly on the work that God has called us to do. Thanks for your prayer support to assist us in laying up treasures in heaven.

HOPE FOR BRAZIL MINISTRIES – "The Ice Boat Ministry"
On November 10-12, Convoy of Hope made another trip downriver. The team headed to the village of Barbosa, where physical therapy, haircuts, and children's ministries were also where they ministered to 80 families that live there through medical and dental care. In addition to this care, physical therapy, haircuts, and children's ministries were also offered. Each family and home received gospel tracts, a food bag, and a water purification kit.
Earlier this week, our ICE BOAT went out on the Amazon River to share bags of ice, water, snacks, and the "good news" of Jesus Christ with the many people fishing on the river. The team ministered to four adults and one child who prayed to receive Christ as their personal Savior.
Thank you for praying, and be watching for updates on all that God is going to do during upcoming trips.
SEA HOPE
Puerto Rico: We busied ourselves getting SEA HOPE ready for one of our most ambitious trips yet. The trip centered around carrying a 9-person team from Medical Missions Outreach and 11 crew members, six of whom were on their first trip aboard SEA HOPE. In addition, we carried around 17,000 pounds of food, about 2,000 pounds of hospital supplies, and 250 folding chairs. While in port, we also replaced about 20 missing boards on the pier. The medical team saw 815 patients, and 70 salvation decisions were made. We praise the Lord for those who met the Great Physician. As the medical team prepared to depart the ship, MMO Missions Director Robbie Ellis stated, "We started as two different teams but ended up as one serving together for the cause of Christ.” All I can say is Hallelujah, Praise the Lord.
BECA PAPE: Second-Generation Missionary
Beca has reached 87% support this month! It is so exciting watching God move and answer her prayers! She is currently planning on leaving for the field in January of 2024.
In Beca's newsletter, she wrote: 2023 is quickly drawing to a close. What an exciting year it has been! I have seen many answers to prayer this year and watched God move in some marvelous ways. One of the most telling has been seeing Him miraculously bring in my support; at the time I am writing this, I have raised 87% of my support and am trusting God to bring in the remainder before the end of the year. I have four more meetings scheduled, as well as several churches where I have expressed a desire to partner with my ministry. I have not yet purchased my plane tickets, but I am still planning on moving the last week of January.
I would love to see her financial support needs raised by the end of the year. Will you help? Perhaps your church would be willing to take her support over the top? Please pray about it.
Thank You
FOR YOUR CONTINUED INTEREST!
