Providing Solutions to Serve the Savior
CREOLE BIBLE PROJECT
We have been asked to produce a brand-new Creole Bible from The Carpenter's Project. It will contain Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, and the entire New Testament. The hardcover Bible will be about 700 pages long, measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches. The ministry will print 3,000 copies and distribute them by a plane outreach ministry, about 500 per trip. Their initial goal is to send them to churches in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Haitian-populated areas in the United States; such as Indianapolis, IN. In time, they may be flown into Chili.
The project with printing and shipping will be over $25,000. They are trying to raise support to assist them with the project. I am asking you to pray about helping them. If you give a love gift through us, they will receive every penny toward this project. Please pray about this; they need financial help. You can send checks in care of Faithful Life, 3335 Galaxy Way, North Fort Myers, FL 33903. On the memo line, write in CREOLE BIBLES. Make check payable to Faithful Life.
Faithful Life Ministries continues to move forward with your prayer and financial support! We can't thank you enough for the encouragement you continue to give us. Your uplifting support is deeply appreciated and needed!
FYI: CHRISTIANITY PURE AND SIMPLE
Dr. Allen Griffith is one of our board members. The image below shows the back of one of his popular tracts. He gives these away to anyone who requests them. I encourage you to go to the website christianitypureandsimple.org. I think you will find it very beneficial. You may want to use this tract in your ministry if you are a pastor. Perhaps you may want to invite him to your church to speak.
He and his wife produce a quarterly newsletter, Friend of the Family (that we print). We have also published seven of his books. He speaks in churches nationwide and produces a thirty-minute weekly podcast mainly for Christians, found at podcastbythebook.com. He would appreciate your prayer for his ministry, Biblical Family Ministries. The second image shows his contact information.

We are humbled and honored to provide these Church Ministry Solutions to bring honor and glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We have been helping a church in Cleveland, FL. The church has undergone a number of changes. Sister churches throughout Florida have come together to assist them. Last I heard, six people have been saved and there has been one baptized since the beginning of the year. We have also helped them by designing new stationery and envelopes, along with two new tracts to assist them in reaching their community for Christ. The new church name is Palm View Baptist Church. We also gave them a $200 credit toward their printing projects.
As mentioned above, we are working on the design of a brand new Creole Bible that will be published through Faithful Life Publishers.

... 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.

What on Earth Are You Doing for Christ?
Throughout our lives, we face a barrage of decisions and choices. Hopefully, you have been blessed with the wisdom to discern beforehand what the consequences will be as a direct result of your decisions and choices. They will be either good or bad.
We will be looking at:
• WHAT IS FICTION, and WHAT IS FACT?
• WHAT IS FALSE, and WHAT IS TRUE?
• WHAT MATTERS, and WHAT DOES NOT?
• WHAT WILL LAST and WHAT WILL NOT?
• WHAT TO CLING TO and WHAT TO TRASH.
We will examine important subject matters that you will find helpful in living your daily life for Christ.
Spiritual Thoughts
My Journey with God's Word
My daily devotional time with God inspires this book of Spiritual Thoughts. He has been my spiritual alarm clock for years. My Wake time usually starts around 2:30 a.m., sometimes a little later. It’s that quiet, alone time I read His Word, and He speaks to me. He says to write it down and pass it on. So here are His Words coupled with my thoughts. Let them bless you as they have blessed me.
The Christian Response to Culture Collapse in the USA
The prevailing view of God in a nation will determine the educational models, arts, approaches to science, business practices, forms and styles of entertainment, governmental philosophy and practice, family life, general social systems, and some of the specifics of religious practices. When the view of God changes all else will be dramatically affected.
Let us understand clearly--the times are changing and the culture for which and in which the Constitution was written is collapsing. With its fall will come the loss of those rights, values and standards of morality and decency on which the nation was built. You cannot have a United States of America as it was founded and intended to be, if reverence for the God of the Bible is lost.
This new website continues to take better shape.

MORE NEWS: We have been recognized as one of the leading printers in the field. The company that handles most of our printing will lower our prices on March 1st.
We always encourage those who need printing to shop around. We usually beat the competition in price and delivery time already. This recognition will improve our prices even more. If our quote is higher for a project, we will do our best to beat the competitor's price.
WELL, THERE IS MORE GREAT NEWS: Depending on when an order is placed (time of day), we can print and deliver projects anywhere in the country within just a day or two. This makes us one of the states' most economical and fastest printers.
EVERY DOOR DIRECT MAIL
We show the previous month's print review and a synopsis of the Every Door Direct Mail or EDDM service each month. Our website allows churches to reach their communities for Christ. Perhaps you noticed above that we helped two churches reach over 16,750 homes for Christ. How long would it take to reach this many families if you went door-to-door in your community?
The beauty behind our service is that we make the process as easy as possible for those who use it. We take all of the painstaking USPS work out of your hands. We bundle the mailing, fill out all of the paperwork, distribute the mailing to your post office, and pay them. All this by the date that you want them to be delivered.
- No mailing list is required. Use our interactive mapping tool to help your ministry choose what area to saturate through USPS routes.
- Choose the date that is best for you. The site provides a calendar to easily plan when to place your mailing in your neighbor's mailbox.
- Endless marketing possibilities. Choose from our diverse selection of postcard sizes and finishing options.
- Full-service solution. With EDDM Full-Service, ordering online is quick and simple. We save you time and effort – believe me, if you did the whole process yourself, you would find it a pain.
We gladly print tracts with your church information on them. We don't charge extra to do this. Be sure to visit the Church Ministry Solutions website to see over 100 tracts and Solutions to Serve the Savior that might be a blessing to your church.
Each tract uses a HOOK to spark interest (Hope, Peace, God Really Loves You, Decision 2024, etc.). We want the reader to LOOK and comprehend the message of the BOOK. Our prayer is that the reader TOOK the message to heart.
DONATE to CMS and RECEIVE Free Little Message tracts with your name on them or the ministry of your choice.
• $20 gift: We will send you 2) 50 packs of your choice.
• A $50 contribution will receive 5) 50-packs of your choosing.
• A $100 donation will receive 1,000 tracts of your choosing.
You will find over 100 original tracts you may use in your outreach ministry, plus more!
PLAN FOR MARCH & APRIL SPECIAL EVENTS

You can always contact me personally by email or phone if you need help with your printing project: jimwendorf@hotmail.com • (239) 292.7834
When a church, ministry, or person orders new tracts or Little Messages, we include their contact information on them without charge. This helps to keep the overall cost of tracts down considerably. Many times, we design all of our printed items for free if we are going to print them for churches or ministries.
If you are a skilled graphic designer, you can save money by uploading your project directly to our website, Print This For Me.
After your project is designed, our website will process your order at a reduced rate.
Donations and Prayer
We are going to remove the other ministries that we have highlighted in the past. They are still worthy ministries to support, but many of you have commented that this newsletter was too lengthy.
